PROVIDENT FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A. Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Provident Financial Services, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Provident Bank (the “Bank,” together with Provident Financial Services, Inc., the “Company”).
In preparing the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial condition and the consolidated statements of income for the periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The allowance for loancredit losses the valuation of securities available for sale and the valuation of deferred tax assets are material estimates that are particularly susceptible to near-term change.
The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for all of 2017.2022.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain reclassifications have been made in the consolidated financial statements to conform with current year classifications.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 20162021 Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K.

C. Loans Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
The impact of utilizing the current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology approach to calculate the allowance for credit losses on loans is significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecast utilized. Material changes to these and other relevant factors may result in greater volatility to the allowance for credit losses, and therefore, greater volatility to the Company’s reported earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the improved economic outlook and the resulting lower allowance requirements led to reductions to the provisions for credit losses and off-balance sheet credit exposures. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the allowance for credit losses on loans.

D. Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of identifiable net assets acquired through purchase acquisitions. In accordance with GAAP, goodwill with an indefinite useful life is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate potential impairment between annual measurement dates. Goodwill is analyzed for impairment once a year. As permitted by GAAP, the Company prepares a qualitative assessment in determining whether goodwill may be impaired. The factors considered in the assessment include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions and overall financial performance of the Company, among others. The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of July 1, 2021. As of March 31, 2022, it is not more likely than not that the fair value of Provident Financial Services, Inc., the reporting unit, is below its carrying amount and therefore a test for impairment between annual tests is not required at this time.
Note 2. Investment Securities
At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, the Company had $1.03$2.07 billion and $481.8$422.0 million in available for sale debt securities and held to maturity investmentdebt securities, respectively. Many factors, including lack of liquidity in the secondary market for certain securities, variations in pricing information, regulatory actions, changes in the business environment or any changes in the competitive marketplace could have an adverse effect on the Company’s investment portfolio which could result in other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") in future periods.portfolio. The total number of available for sale and held to maturity and available for saledebt securities in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2017at March 31, 2022 totaled 253,489, compared with 419166 at December 31, 2016. 2021. The increase in the number of securities in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2022 was due to higher current market interest rates compared to rates at December 31, 2021.
Management measures expected credit losses on held to maturity debt securities on a collective basis by security type. Management classifies the held to maturity debt securities portfolio into the following security types:
Agency obligations;
Mortgage-backed securities;
State and municipal obligations; and
Corporate obligations.

All securities with unrealized losses at September 30, 2017 were analyzed for other-than-temporary impairment. Based upon this analysis,of the agency obligations held by the Company believes that asare issued by U.S. government entities and agencies. These securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies and have a long history of September 30, 2017, such securities with unrealized losses do not represent impairments that are other-than-temporary.no credit losses. The majority of the state and municipal, and corporate obligations carry no lower than A ratings from the rating agencies at March 31, 2022 and the Company had one security rated BBB by Moody’s Investors Service.

The temporary loss position associated with securities available for sale was the result of changes in market interest rates relative to the coupon of the individual security and changes in credit spreads. The Company does not have the intent to sell securities in a temporary loss position at September 30, 2017, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before their prices recover.
The number of available for sale securities in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2017 totaled 82, compared with 87 at December 31, 2016. At September 30, 2017, there were two private label mortgage-backed securities in an unrealized loss position,


with an amortized cost of $50,000 and an unrealized loss of $2,000. Neither of these private label mortgage-backed securities were below investment grade at September 30, 2017.
The Company estimates the loss projections for each security by stressing the individual loans collateralizing the security and applying a range of expected default rates, loss severities, and prepayment speeds in conjunction with the underlying credit enhancement for each security. Based on specific assumptions about collateral and vintage, a range of possible cash flows was identified to determine whether OTTI existed during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Company believes that no OTTI of the securities available for sale portfolio existed for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Included in loans receivable are loans for which the accrual of interest income has been discontinued due to deterioration in the financial condition of the borrowers. The principal amounts of these non-accrual loans were $36.4$44.3 million and $42.4$48.0 million at September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016,2021, respectively. Included in non-accrual loans were $9.1$20.3 million and $7.3$23.0 million of loans which were less than 90 days past due at September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016,2021, respectively. There were no loans 90 days or greater past due and still accruing interest at September 30, 2017 orMarch 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016.2021. Generally, accrued interest is written off by reversing interest income during the quarter the loan is moved from an accrual to a non-accrual status.
The Company defines an impaired loan as a non-homogeneous loan greater than $1.0 million, for which, it is probable, based on current information, it is not expected to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected.agreement. Impaired loans also include all loans modified as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). A loan is deemed to beAn allowance for collateral-dependent impaired loans that have been modified in a TDR when a loan modification resulting in a concession is made in an effort to mitigate potential loss arising from a borrower’s financial difficulty. Smaller balance homogeneous loans, including residential mortgages and other consumer loans, are evaluated collectively for impairment and are excluded from the definition of impaired loans, unless modified as TDRs. The Company separately calculates the reserve for loan lossesmeasured based on impaired loans. The Company may recognize impairment of a loan based upon: (1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (2) if a loan is collateral dependent,rate, the fair value of collateral;loan’s observable market price, or (3) the estimated fair value of the loan. Additionally, if impaired loans have risk characteristics in common, those loans may be aggregated and historical statistics may be used as a means of measuring those impaired loans.
collateral, less any selling costs. The Company uses third-party appraisals to determine the fair value of the underlying collateral in its analysis of collateral dependent impairedcollateral-dependent loans. A third-party appraisal is generally ordered as soon as a loan is designated as a collateral dependent impairedcollateral-dependent loan and is updated annually, or more frequently if required.
A financial asset is considered collateral-dependent when the debtor is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale or operation of the collateral. For all classes of loans deemed collateral-dependent, the Company estimates expected credit losses based on the collateral’s fair value less any selling costs. A specific allocation of the allowance for loancredit losses is established for each collateral dependent impairedcollateral-dependent loan with a carrying balance greater than the collateral’s fair value, less estimated costsselling costs. In most cases, the Company records a partial charge-off to sell. Charge-offs are generally taken forreduce the amount ofloan’s carrying value to the specific allocation when operations associated with the respective property cease and it is determined that collection of amounts due will be derived primarily from the disposition of the collateral.collateral’s fair value less estimated selling costs. At each fiscal quarter end, if a loan is designated as a collateral dependent impaired loancollateral-dependent and the third-party appraisal has not yet been received, an evaluation of all available collateral is made using the best information available at the time, including rent rolls, borrower financial statements and tax returns, prior appraisals, management’s knowledge of the market and collateral, and internally prepared collateral valuations based upon market assumptions regarding vacancy and capitalization rates, each as and where applicable. Once the appraisal is received and reviewed, the specific reserves are adjusted to reflect the appraised value.value and evaluated for charge offs. The Company believes there have been no significant time lapses in the recognition of changes in collateral values as a result ofresulting from this process.

The decrease in the period-over-period provision benefit was largely a function of the relative change in the economic outlook and the significant favorable impact of the post-pandemic recovery in the prior year period.

Loan modifications tofor borrowers experiencing financial difficulties that are considered TDRs primarily involve lowering the monthly payments on such loans through either a reduction in interest rate below a market rate, an extension of the term of the loan without a corresponding adjustment to the risk premium reflected in the interest rate, or a combination of these two methods. These modifications generally do not result in the forgiveness of principal or accrued interest. In addition, the Companymanagement attempts to obtain additional collateral or guarantor support when modifying such loans. If the borrower has demonstrated performance under the previous terms and our underwriting process shows the borrower has the capacity to continue to perform under the restructured terms, the loan will continue to accrue interest. Non-accruing restructured loans may be returned to accrual status when there has been a sustained period of repayment performance (generally six consecutive months of payments) and both principal and interest are deemed collectible.
The following tables present the number of loans modified as TDRs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and 2016,2021, along with their balances immediately prior to the modification date and post-modification as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and 2016.

The CompanyManagement utilizes an internal nine-point risk rating system to summarize its loan portfolio into categories with similar risk characteristics. Loans deemed to be “acceptable quality” are rated 1 through 4, with a rating of 1 established for loans with minimal risk. Loans that are deemed to be of “questionable quality” are rated 5 (watch) or 6 (special mention). Loans with adverse classifications (substandard, doubtful or loss) are rated 7, 8 or 9, respectively. Commercial mortgage, commercial, multi-family and construction loans are rated individually, and each lending officer is responsible for risk rating loans in their portfolio. These


risk ratings are then reviewed by the department manager and/or the Chief Lending Officer and by the Credit Department. The risk ratings are also confirmedreviewed periodically through periodic loan review examinations which are currently performed by an independent third-party. Reports by the independent third-party are presented directly to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Note 5.6. Components of Net Periodic Benefit Cost
The Bank has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering its full-time employees who had attained age 21 with at least one year of service as of April 1, 2003. The pension plan was frozen on April 1, 2003. All participants in the Plan are 100% vested. The pension plan’s assets are invested in investment funds and group annuity contracts currently managed by the Principal Financial Group and Allmerica Financial.


In addition to pension benefits, certain health care and life insurance benefits are currently made available to certain of the Bank’s retired employees. The costs of such benefits are accrued based on actuarial assumptions from the date of hire to the date the employee is fully eligible to receive the benefits. Effective January 1, 2003, eligibility for retiree health care benefits was frozen as to new entrants, and benefits were eliminated for employees with less than ten years of service as of December 31, 2002. Effective January 1, 2007, eligibility for retiree life insurance benefits was frozen as to new entrants and retiree life insurance benefits were eliminated for employees with less than ten years of service as of December 31, 2006.

Note 6.7. Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In August 2017,March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-12, Derivatives2022-02, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to AccountingVintage Disclosures," whichaddresses areas identified by the FASB as part of its post-implementation review of the credit losses standard (ASU 2016-13) that introduced the CECL model. The amendments eliminate the accounting guidance for Hedging Activities (ASU 2017-12). The purpose of this updated guidance is to better aligntroubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted the CECL model and enhance the disclosure requirements for loan refinancing and restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. ASU 2017-12 is effective for public business entity to disclose current-period gross write-offs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. For entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13, ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption including adoption inis permitted if an interim period, permitted.entity has adopted ASU 2017-12 requires a modified retrospective transition method in which the Company will recognize the cumulative effect of the change on the opening balance of each affected component of equity in the statement of financial position as of the date of adoption.2016-13. The Company is currently assessingcontinues to assess the impact that thethis guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017,March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation2022-01, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 718)815): ScopeFair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method." This ASU clarifies the guidance in ASC 815 on fair value hedge accounting of Modification Accounting”. This update providesinterest rate risk for portfolios of financial assets. The ASU amends the guidance about changes to terms or conditions of a share-based payment award which would require modification accounting. In particular, an entity is required to accountin ASU 2017-12 that, among other things, established the “last-of-layer” method for the effects of a modification ifmaking the fair value vesting conditionhedge accounting for these portfolios more accessible. ASU 2022-01 renames that method the “portfolio layer” method and addresses feedback from stakeholders regarding its application. Under current guidance, the last-of-layer method enables an entity to apply fair value hedging to a stated amount of a closed portfolio of prepayable financial assets (or one or more beneficial interests secured by a portfolio of prepayable financial instruments) without having to consider prepayment risk or credit risk when measuring those assets. ASU 2022-01 expands the equity/liability classificationscope of this guidance to allow entities to apply the portfolio layer method to portfolios of all financial assets, including both prepayable and nonprepayable financial assets. This scope expansion is consistent with the FASB’s efforts to simplify hedge accounting and allows entities to apply the same method to similar hedging strategies. Also, ASU 2022-01 expands the current model to explicitly allow entities to designate multiple layers in a single portfolio as individual hedged items. This allows entities to designate multiple hedging relationships with a single closed portfolio, and therefore a larger portion of the modified awardinterest rate risk associated with such a portfolio is noteligible to be hedged. ASU 2022-01 also addresses questions about the same immediately beforetypes of derivatives that could be used as the hedging instrument in potential multiple-layer hedges. ASU 2022-01, an entity has the flexibility to use any type of derivative or combination of derivatives (e.g., spot-starting constant-notional swaps with different term lengths, a combination of spot-starting and after a change toforward-starting constant-notional swaps, amortizing-notional swaps) by applying the termsmultiple-layer model that aligns with its risk management strategy. ASU 2022-01 expands and conditions ofclarifies the award.current guidance on accounting for fair value hedge basis adjustments under the portfolio layer method for both single-layer and multiple-layer hedges. For public business entities, ASU 2017-092022-01 is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect ASU 2017-09 to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, “Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.” This ASU shortens the amortization period for premiums on callable debt securities by requiring that premiums be amortized to the first (or earliest) call date instead of as an adjustment to the yield over the contractual life. This change more closely aligns the accounting with the economics of a callable debt security and the amortization period with expectations that already are included in market pricing on callable debt securities. This ASU does not change the accounting for discounts on callable debt securities, which will continue to be amortized to the maturity date. This guidance includes only instruments that are held at a premium and have explicit call features. It does not include instruments that contain prepayment features, such as mortgage backed securities; nor does it include call options that are contingent upon future events or in which the timing or amount to be paid is not fixed. The effective date for this ASU is fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,2022, including interim periods within the reporting period, with earlythose fiscal years. Early adoption permitted. Transition is on a

If earlyentity has adopted in an interim period, adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period.ASU 2017-12. The Company is currently assessingcontinues to assess the impact that thethis guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. .
In March 2017,2020, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 715): Improving848)," which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to loan and lease agreements, derivative contracts, and other transactions affected by the Presentationanticipated transition away from LIBOR toward new interest rate benchmarks. For transactions that are modified because of Net Periodic Pension Costreference rate reform and Net Periodic Post-retirement Benefit Cost", which requires that companies disaggregatemeet certain scope guidance (i) modifications of loan agreements should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the service cost component from other components of net benefit cost. This update calls for companies that offer post-retirement benefits to presenteffective interest rate and the service cost, which is the amount an employer has to set aside each quarter or fiscal year to cover the benefits, in the same line item with other current employee compensation costs. Other components of net benefit costmodification will be presented inconsidered "minor" so that any existing unamortized origination fees/costs would carry forward and continue to be amortized and (ii) modifications of lease agreements should be accounted for as a continuation of the income statement separately fromexisting agreement with no reassessments of the service cost componentlease classification and outside the subtotaldiscount rate or re-measurements of income from operations, if one is presented.lease payments that otherwise would be required for modifications not accounted for as separate contracts. ASU 2017-072020-04 also provides numerous optional expedients for derivative accounting. ASU 2020-04 is effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply ASU 2020-04 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, includingcontract modifications as of January 1, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim periodsperiod that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic within those fiscal years.the Codification, the amendments in this ASU must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. The Company does not expectanticipates this ASU 2017-07will simplify any modifications we execute between the selected start date (yet to have a significant impact onbe determined) and December 31, 2022 that are directly related to LIBOR transition by allowing prospective recognition of the Company's consolidated financial statements.
continuation of the contract, rather than the extinguishment of the old contract resulting in writing off unamortized fees/costs. In addition, in January 2017,2021 the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “SimplifyingNo. 2021-01 “Reference Rate Reform — Scope,” which clarified the Testscope of ASC 848 relating to contract modifications. In the fourth quarter of 2019 the Company formed, a cross-functional team to develop transition plans for Goodwill Impairment.” The main objective of this ASU isthe LIBOR transition to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment by requiring that impairment charges be based upon the first step in the current two-step impairment test under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350. Currently, if the fair value of a reporting unit is lower than its carrying amount (Step 1), an entity calculates any impairment charge by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount (Step 2). The implied fair value of goodwill is calculated by deducting the fair value of all assets and liabilities of the reporting unit from the reporting unit’s fair value as determined in Step 1. To determine the implied fair value of goodwill, entities estimate the fair value of any unrecognized intangible assets and any corporate-level assets or liabilities that were included in the determination of the carrying amount and fair value of the reporting unit in Step 1. Under ASU 2017-04, if a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an entity will record an impairment charge based on that difference. The impairment charge will be limitedaddress potential revisions to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This standard eliminates the requirement to calculate a goodwill impairment charge using Step 2. ASU 2017-04 does not change the guidance on completing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity will still be able to perform the current optional qualitative goodwill impairment assessment before determining whether to proceed to Step 1. The standard will be applied prospectively and is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed in periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect ASU 2017-04 to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments," a new standard which addresses diversity in practice related to eight specific cash flow issues: debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (including bank-owned life insurance policies), distributions received from equity method investees, beneficial interests in securitization transactions and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The main objective of this ASU is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The amendments in this ASU require financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses would represent a valuation account that would be deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The income statement would reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets,documentation, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. The measurement of expected credit losses would be based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions,customer management and reasonablecommunication, internal training, financial, operational and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. An entity will be required to use judgment in determining the relevant informationrisk management implications, and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 are effective for fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of this ASU is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2016-13 on the consolidated financial statements. In that regard, the Company has formed a cross-functional working group, under the direction of the Chief Credit Officer, Chief Financial Officerlegal and Chief Risk Officer.contract management. The working group is comprised of individuals from various functional areas including credit,lending, risk management, finance and information technology,credit, among others. In addition, the
25


Company has engaged with its regulators and with industry working groups and trade associations to develop strategies for transitioning away from LIBOR. The Company is currently developing an implementation plan


to include assessment of processes, portfolio segmentation, model development, system requirements and the identification of data and resource needs, among other things. Also, the Company is currently evaluating third-party vendor solutions to assist us in the applicationprocess of transitioning from LIBOR and plans to move to the ASU 2016-13.Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") and no longer offers LIBOR as an option to customers. The adoptionCompany continues to assess the impacts of this guidance, and has not determined whether LIBOR transition and this guidance will have a material effect on the ASU 2016-13 may result in an increase inCompany's business operations and consolidated financial statements.

Note 8. Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures
Management analyzes the allowance for loan losses as a result of changing from an "incurred loss" model, which encompasses allowances for current known and inherent losses within the portfolio,Company's exposure to an "expected loss" model, which encompasses allowances for losses expected to be incurred over the life of the portfolio. Furthermore, ASU 2016-13 will necessitate establishing an allowance for expected credit losses on debt securities. The Company is currently unable to reasonably estimatefor both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet activity using a consistent methodology for the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13, it is expected that the impact of adoption will be significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of our loan and securities portfoliosquantitative framework as well as the prevailing economic conditionsqualitative framework. For purposes of estimating the allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures, the exposure at default includes an estimated drawdown of unused credit based on historical credit utilization factors and forecasts ascurrent loss factors, resulting in a proportionate amount of expected credit losses.
For the adoption date.
In February 2016,three months ended March 31, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842).” This ASU requires all lesseesCompany recorded a $2.4 million benefit to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset, measured at the present value ofprovision for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures compared to an $875,000 benefit to the future minimum lease payments, atprovision for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures for the lease commencement date. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged under the new guidance.same period in 2021. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective approach must be applied for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presentedincrease in the financial statements. period-over period provision benefit was primarily due to an increase in line of credit utilization.
The Company is currently assessing the impact that the guidance will haveallowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures was $4.1 million and $6.5 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and are included in other liabilities on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and MeasurementConsolidated Statements of Financial Assets and Liabilities." This ASU addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. This amendment supersedes the guidance to classify equity securities with readily determinable fair values into different categories, requires equity securities, except equity method investments, to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income, and simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values. The amendment requires public business entities that are required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet to measure that fair value using the exit price notion. The amendment requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option. The amendment requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. The amendment reduces diversity in current practice by clarifying that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available for sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should apply the amendment by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption, with the exception of the amendment related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values, which should be applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the guidance will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.Condition.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." The objective of this amendment is to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and IFRS. This update affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are in the scope of other standards. The ASU is effective for public business entities for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. Subsequently, the FASB issued the following standards related to ASU 2014-09: ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations;” ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing;” ASU 2016-11, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting;” and ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.” These amendments are intended to improve and clarify the implementation guidance of ASU 2014-09 and have the same effective date as the original standard. The Company's revenue is comprised of net interest income on interest earning assets and liabilities and non-interest income. The scope of guidance explicitly excludes net interest income as well as other revenues associated with financial assets and liabilities, including loans, leases, securities and derivatives. Accordingly, the majority of the Company's revenues will not be affected. The Company has formed a working group to guide implementation efforts including the identification of revenue within the scope of the guidance, as well as the evaluation of revenue contracts and the respective performance obligations within those contracts.  While the Company has not identified any material changes related to the timing or amount of revenue recognition, the Company will continue to evaluate disaggregation for significant categories of revenue in the scope of the guidance and the need for additional disclosures. The Company will adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2018 with a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings, if such adjustment is deemed to be significant.

Note 7.9. Fair Value Measurements

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The determination of fair values of financial instruments often requires the use of estimates. Where quoted market values in an active market are not readily available, the CompanyManagement utilizes various valuation techniques to estimate fair value.
Fair value is an estimate of the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. However, in many instances fair value estimates may not be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and may not be realized in an immediate sale of the financial instrument.
GAAP 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 as follows:
Level 1:Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2:Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3:Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The valuation techniques are based upon the unpaid principal balance only, and exclude any accrued interest or dividends at the measurement date. Interest income and expense and dividend income are recorded within the consolidated statements of income depending on the nature of the instrument using the effective interest method based on acquired discount or premium.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The valuation techniques described below were used to measure fair value of financial instruments in the table below on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016.2021.
Securities Available for Sale Debt Securities, at Fair Value
For securities available for sale debt securities, fair value was estimated using a market approach. The majority of the Company’s securities are fixed income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but are traded in active markets. Prices for these instruments are obtained through third-party data service providers or dealer market participants with whichwhom the Company has historically transacted both purchases and sales of securities. Prices obtained from these sources include market quotations and matrix pricing. Matrix pricing, a Level 2 input, is a mathematical technique used principally to value certain securities to benchmark or to comparable securities. The Company evaluates the quality of Level 2 matrix pricing through comparison to similar assets with greater liquidity and evaluation of projected cash flows. As the CompanyManagement is responsible for the determination of fair value, it performs quarterly analyses on the prices received from the pricing service to determine whether the prices are reasonable estimates of fair value. Specifically, the CompanyManagement compares the prices received from the pricing service to a secondary pricing source. Additionally, the CompanyManagement compares changes in the reported market values and returns to relevant market indices to test the reasonableness of the reported prices. The Company’s internal price verification procedures and review of fair value methodology documentation provided by independent pricing services has generally not historically resulted in an adjustment in the prices obtained from the pricing service.
Equity Securities, at Fair Value
The Company also may holdholds equity securities and debt instruments issued by the U.S. government and U.S. government-sponsored agencies that are traded in active markets with readily accessible quoted market prices that are considered Level 1 inputs.
Derivatives
The Company records all derivatives on the statementstatements of financial condition at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. The Company has interest rate derivatives resulting from a service provided to certain qualified borrowers in a loan related
27


transaction and,which, therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk in the Company’s assets or liabilities. As such, all changes in fair value of the Company’s derivatives are recognized directly in earnings.

The Company also uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges, and which satisfy hedge accounting requirements, involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. These derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash outflows associated with FHLBNY borrowings.borrowings and brokered demand deposits. The effective portion of changeschange in the fair value of these derivatives areis recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, and areis subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of these derivatives are recognized directly in earnings.
The fair value of the Company's derivatives areis determined using discounted cash flow analysis using observable market-based inputs, which are considered Level 2 inputs.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
The valuation techniques described below were used to estimate fair value of financial instruments measured on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016.2021.
Collateral DependentCollateral-Dependent Impaired Loans
For loans measured for impairment based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, fair value was estimated using a market approach. The Company measures the fair value of collateral underlying impaired loans primarily through obtaining independent appraisals that rely upon quoted market prices for similar assets in active markets. These appraisals include adjustments, on an individual case-by-case basis, to comparable assets based on the appraisers’ market knowledge and experience, as well as adjustments for estimated costs to sell between 5% and 10%. The CompanyManagement classifies these loans as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
Foreclosed Assets
Assets acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure are carried at fair value, less estimated selling costs, which range between 5% and 10%. Fair value is generally based on independent appraisals that rely upon quoted market prices for similar assets in active markets. These appraisals include adjustments, on an individual case basis, to comparable assets based on the appraisers’ market knowledge and experience, and are classified as Level 3. When an asset is acquired, the excess of the loan balance over fair value less estimated selling costs is charged to the allowance for loancredit losses. A reserve for foreclosed assets may be established to provide for possible write-downs and selling costs that occur subsequent to foreclosure. Foreclosed assets are carried net of the related reserve. Operating results from real estate owned, including rental income, operating expenses, and gains and losses realized from the sales of real estate owned, are recorded as incurred.
There were no changes to the valuation techniques for fair value measurements as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016.2021.

The following tables present the assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of financial condition at their fair values as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016,2021, by level within the fair value hierarchy:hierarchy (in thousands):

Other Fair Value Disclosures
The Company is required to disclose estimated fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities on and off the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for those assets and liabilities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and short-term investments, the carrying amount approximates fair value. Included in cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $4.8 million and $27.3 million, respectively, representing cash collateral pledged to secure loan level swaps and reserves required by banking regulations.
Investment Securities Held to Maturity Debt Securities
For investment securities held to maturity debt securities, fair value was estimated using a market approach. The majority of the Company’s securities are fixed income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but are traded in active markets. Prices for these instruments are obtained through third party data service providers or dealer market participants with whichwhom the Company has historically transacted both purchases and sales of securities. Prices obtained from these sources include market quotations and matrix pricing. Matrix pricing, a Level 2 input, is a mathematical technique used principally to value certain securities to benchmark orto comparable securities. The CompanyManagement evaluates the quality of Level 2 matrix pricing through comparison to similar assets with greater liquidity and evaluation of projected cash flows. As the Companymanagement is responsible for the determination of fair value, it performs quarterly analyses on the prices received from the pricing service to determine whether the prices are reasonable estimates of fair value. Specifically, the Companymanagement compares the prices received from the pricing service to a secondary pricing source. Additionally, the Companymanagement compares changes in the reported market values and returns to relevant market indices to test the reasonableness of the reported prices. The Company’s internal price verification procedures and review of fair value methodology documentation provided by independent pricing services has generally not historically resulted in adjustment in the prices obtained from the pricing service. The Company also holds debt instruments issued by the U.S. government and U.S. government agencies that are traded in active markets with readily accessible quoted market prices that are considered Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLBNY") Stock
The carrying value of FHLBNY stock wasis its cost. The fair value of FHLBNY stock is based on redemption at par value. The Company classifies the estimated fair value as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Loans
Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial mortgage, residential mortgage, commercial, construction and consumer. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and into performing and non-performing categories. The fair value of performing loans was estimated using a combination of techniques, including a discounted cash flow model that utilizes a discount rate that reflects the Company’s current pricing for loans with similar characteristics and remaining maturity, adjusted by an amount for estimated credit losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date.date (i.e. exit pricing). The rates take into account the expected yield curve, as well as an adjustment for prepayment risk, when applicable. The Company classifies the estimated fair value of its loan portfolio as Level 3.
The fair value for significant non-performing loans was based on recent external appraisals of collateral securing such loans, adjusted for the timing of anticipated cash flows. The Company classifies the estimated fair value of its non-performing loan portfolio as Level 3.
Deposits
The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest bearing demand deposits and savings deposits, was equal to the amount payable on demand and classified as Level 1. The estimated fair value of certificates of deposit was based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate was estimated using the Company’s current rates offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities. The Company classifies the estimated fair value of its certificates of deposit portfolio as Level 2.
Borrowed Funds
The fair value of borrowed funds was estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates available for debt with similar terms and maturities and is classified by the Company as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Letters of Credit
The fair value of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit was estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed
30


rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The Company classifies these commitments as Level 3 within the fair value estimates of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are deemed immaterial.hierarchy.
Limitations
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 market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments 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 judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments.
Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or liabilities include goodwill and other intangibles, deferred tax assets and premises and equipment. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

The following tables present the Company’s financial instruments at their carrying and fair values as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016.2021. Fair values are presented by level within the fair value hierarchy.

Note 9.11. Derivative and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through the management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities.
Non-designated Hedges. Derivatives not designated in qualifying hedging relationships are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain qualified commercial borrowers in loan related transactions and,which, therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk in the Company’s assets or liabilities. The Company executesmay execute interest rate swaps with qualified commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. The interest rate swap agreement which the Company executes with the commercial borrower is collateralized by the borrower's commercial real estate financed by the Company. The collateral exceedsAs the maximum potential amount of future payments under the credit derivative. As theCompany has not elected to apply hedge accounting and these interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings. At September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016,2021, the Company had 46166 loan related interest rate swaps, with an aggregate notional amount of $698.5 million$2.43 billion and 36$2.42 billion, respectively.
The Company periodically enters into risk participation agreements ("RPAs"), with the Company functioning as either the lead institution, or as a participant when another company is the lead institution on a commercial loan. These RPAs are entered into to manage the credit exposure on interest rate swapscontracts associated with an aggregate notional amount of $582.2 million, respectively,these loan participation agreements. Under the RPAs, the Company will either receive or make a payment in the event the borrower defaults on the related to this program.interest rate contract. The Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its risk participation counterparties, and has posted collateral of $70,000 against the potential risk of default by the borrower under these agreements. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had 13 credit derivatives, resultingwith aggregate notional amounts of $147.2 million and $144.8 million, respectively, from participations in interest rate swaps provided to external lenders as part of these loan participation arrangements; therefore, they are not used to manage interest rate risk inarrangements. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company's assets or liabilities.fair value of these credit derivatives were $77,700 and $108,800, respectively.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk.The Company’s objective in using interest rate derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable payment amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. 
The effective portion of changesChanges in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and 2016,2021, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash outflows associated with Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. During the threeFHLBNY borrowings and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not record any hedge ineffectiveness.brokered demand deposits.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s debt.borrowings or demand deposits. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that $52,400$4.9 million will be reclassified as an increasea reduction to interest expense. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, the Company had two13 outstanding interest rate derivatives with an aggregate notional amount of $60.0$500.0 million that waswere each designated as a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk.
Assets and liabilities relating to certain financial instruments, including derivatives, may be eligible for offset in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and/or subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements. The tableCompany does not offset asset and liabilities under such arrangements in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Note 12. Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue from several business channels. The guidance in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including interest income on loans and investments, which comprise the majority of the Company's revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021 the out-of-scope revenue related to financial instruments was 83.4% and 82.3%, respectively, of the Company's total revenue. Revenue-generating activities that are within the scope of Topic 606, are components of non-interest income. These revenue streams are generally classified into three categories: wealth management revenue, insurance agency income and banking service charges and other fees.
The following table presents non-interest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Wealth management fee income represents fees earned from customers as consideration for asset management, investment advisory and trust services. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied monthly and the resulting fees are recognized monthly. The fee is generally based upon the average market value of the assets under management ("AUM") for the month and the applicable fee rate. The monthly accrual of wealth management fees is recorded in other assets on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Fees are received from the customer on a monthly basis. The Company does not earn performance-based incentives. To a lesser extent, optional services such as tax return preparation and estate settlement are also available to existing customers. The Company’s performance obligation for these transaction-based services are generally satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at either a point in time when the service is completed, or in the case of estate settlement, over a relatively short period of time, as each service component is completed.
Insurance agency income, consisting of commissions and fees, is generally recognized as of the effective date of the insurance policy. Commission revenues related to installment billings are recognized on the invoice date. Subsequent commission adjustments are recognized upon the receipt of notification from insurance companies concerning matters necessitating such adjustments. Profit-sharing contingent commissions are recognized when determinable, which is generally when such commissions are received from insurance companies, or when the Company receives formal notification of the amount of such payments.
Service charges on deposit accounts include overdraft service fees, account analysis fees and other deposit related fees. These fees are generally transaction-based, or time-based services. The Company's performance obligation for these services are generally satisfied,
39


and revenue recognized, at the time the transaction is completed, or the service rendered. Fees for these services are generally received from the customer either at the time of transaction, or monthly. Debit card and ATM fees are generally transaction-based. Debit card revenue is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned when a customer's Company card is processed through a card payment network. ATM fees are largely generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-Company ATM, or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. The Company's performance obligation for these services is satisfied when the service is rendered. Payment is generally received at the time of transaction or monthly.
Out-of-scope non-interest income primarily consists of Bank-owned life insurance and net fees on loan level interest rate swaps, along with gains and losses on the sale of loans and foreclosed real estate, loan prepayment fees and loan servicing fees. None of these revenue streams are subject to the requirements of Topic 606.
Note 13. Leases
The following table represents the consolidated statements of financial condition classification of the Company’s right-of use-assets and lease liabilities at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):
ClassificationMarch 31, 2022December 31, 2021
Lease Right-of-Use Assets:
Operating lease right-of-use assetsOther assets$65,417 $48,808 
Lease Liabilities:
Operating lease liabilitiesOther liabilities$67,227 $50,236 
The calculated amount of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the table above are impacted by the length of the lease term and the discount rate used to present value the minimum lease payments. The Company’s lease agreements often include one or more options to renew at the Company’s discretion. If at lease inception the Company considers the exercising of a renewal option to be reasonably certain, the Company will include the extended term in the calculation of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Generally, the Company considers the first renewal option to be reasonably certain and includes it in the calculation of the right-of use asset and lease liability. Regarding the discount rate, Topic 842 requires the use of the rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception based upon the term of the lease. For operating leases existing prior to January 1, 2019, the rate for the remaining lease term as of January 1, 2019 was applied.
All of the leases in which the Company is the lessee are classified as operating leases and are primarily comprised of real estate properties for branches and administrative offices with terms extending through 2040.
At March 31, 2022, the weighted-average remaining lease term and the weighted-average discount rate for the Company's operating leases were 9.2 years and 2.50%, respectively.
The following tables represent lease costs and other lease information for the Company's operating leases. The variable lease cost primarily represents variable payments such as common area maintenance and utilities (in thousands):

Item 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained herein are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements may be identified by reference to a future period or periods, or by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may,” “will,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” "project," "intend," “anticipate,” “continue,” or similar terms or variations on those terms, or the negative of those terms. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those set forth in Item 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, oras supplemented by its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and those related to the economic environment, particularly in the market areas in which the Company operates, competitive products and pricing, fiscal and monetary policies of the U.S. Government, changes in accounting policies and practices that may be adopted by the regulatory agencies and the accounting standards setters, changes in government regulations affecting financial institutions, including regulatory fees and capital requirements, changes in prevailing interest rates, acquisitions and the integration of acquired businesses, credit risk management, asset-liability management, the financial and securities markets and the availability of and costs associated with sources of liquidity.
In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have an uncertain impact on the Company, its customers and the communities it serves. Given its ongoing and dynamic nature, including potential variants, it is difficult to predict the continuing impact of the pandemic on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which remain highly uncertain, including when the pandemic will be controlled and abated, and the extent to which the economy can remain open. As the result of the pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, the Company could be subject to any of the following risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations: the demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income; if the economy is unable to remain substantially open, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income; collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase; our allowance for credit losses may increase if borrowers experience financial difficulties, which will adversely affect our net income; the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us; our wealth management revenues may decline with continuing market turmoil; we may face the risk of a goodwill write-down due to stock price decline; and our cyber security risks are increased as the result of an increased number of employees working remotely.
The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date made. The Company also advises readers that the factors listed above could affect the Company’sCompany's financial performance and could cause the Company’sCompany's actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements. The Company does not have any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect any subsequent events or circumstances after the date of this statement.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company considers certain accounting policies to be critically important to the fair presentation of its financial condition and results of operations. These policies require management to make complex judgments on matters which by their nature have elements of uncertainty. The sensitivity of the Company’s consolidated financial statements to these critical accounting policies, and the assumptions and estimates applied, could have a significant impact on its financial condition and results of operations. These assumptions, estimates and judgments made by management can be influenced by a number of factors, including the general economic environment. The Company has identified the following as critical accounting policies:
AdequacyValuation of the allowance for loan lossescredit losses; and
Goodwill valuation and analysis for impairment
Valuation of securities available for sale and impairment analysis
Valuation of deferred tax assets
The calculationOn January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which replaced the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting policy ofincurred loss methodology with the Company.current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The allowance for loancredit losses is a valuation account that reflects management’s evaluation of the probablecurrent expected credit losses in the loan portfolio. The Company maintains the allowance for loancredit losses through provisions for loancredit losses that are charged, or credited to income. Charge-offs against the allowance for loancredit losses are taken on loans where management determines that the collection of loan principal and interest is unlikely. Recoveries made on loans that have been charged-off are credited to the allowance for loancredit losses.
Management's evaluation of the adequacy
42


The calculation of the allowance for credit losses is a critical accounting policy of the Company. Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, related to past events, current conditions, and a reasonable and supportable forecast. Historical credit loss experience for both the Company and peers provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses, where observed credit losses are converted to probability of default rate (“PDR”) curves through the use of segment-specific loss given default (“LGD”) risk factors that convert default rates to loss severity based on industry-level, observed relationships between the two variables for each segment, primarily due to the nature of the underlying collateral. These risk factors were assessed for reasonableness against the Company’s own loss experience and adjusted in certain cases when the relationship between the Company’s historical default and loss severity deviate from that of the wider industry. The historical PDR curves, together with corresponding economic conditions, establish a quantitative relationship between economic conditions and loan performance through an economic cycle.
Using the historical relationship between economic conditions and loan performance, management’s expectation of future loan performance is incorporated using an externally developed economic forecast. This forecast is applied over a period that management has determined to be reasonable and supportable. Beyond the period over which management can develop or source a reasonable and supportable forecast, the model will revert to long-term average economic conditions using a straight-line, time-based methodology. The Company's current forecast period is six quarters, with a four quarter reversion period to historical average macroeconomic factors. The Company's economic forecast is approved by the Company's Asset-Liability Committee.
The allowance for credit losses includesis measured on a review of all loans on which the collectability of principal may not be reasonably assured. For residential mortgagecollective (pool) basis, with both a quantitative and consumer loans, thisqualitative analysis that is determined primarily by delinquency status. For commercial real estate and commercial loans, an extensive review of financial performance, payment history and collateral values is conductedapplied on a quarterly basis.
As partbasis, when similar risk characteristics exist. The respective quantitative allowance for each loan segment is measured using an econometric, discounted PDR/LGD modeling methodology in which distinct, segment-specific multi-variate regression models are applied to an external economic forecast. Under the discounted cash flows methodology, expected credit losses are estimated over the effective life of the evaluationloans by measuring the difference between the net present value of modeled cash flows and amortized cost basis. Contractual cash flows over the contractual life of the adequacyloans are the basis for modeled cash flows, adjusted for modeled defaults and expected prepayments and discounted at the loan-level effective interest rate. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals and modifications unless either of the following applies at the reporting date: management has a reasonable expectation that a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) will be executed with an individual borrower; or when an extension or renewal option is included in the original contract and is not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. Management will assess the likelihood of the option being exercised by the borrower and appropriately extend the maturity for modeling purposes.
The Company considers qualitative adjustments to credit loss estimates for information not already captured in the quantitative component of the loss estimation process. Qualitative factors are based on portfolio concentration levels, model imprecision, changes in industry conditions, changes in the Company’s loan review process, changes in the Company’s loan policies and procedures, and economic forecast uncertainty.
Portfolio segment is defined as the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic methodology to determine its allowance for credit losses. Management developed segments for estimating loss based on type of borrower and collateral which is generally based upon federal call report segmentation. The segments have been combined or sub-segmented as needed to ensure loans of similar risk profiles are appropriately pooled. As of March 31, 2022, the portfolio and class segments for the Company’s loan portfolio were:
Mortgage Loans – Residential, Commercial Real Estate, Multi-Family and Construction
Commercial Loans – Commercial Owner Occupied and Commercial Non-Owner Occupied
Consumer Loans – First Lien Home Equity and Other Consumer
The allowance for credit losses on loans individually evaluated for impairment is based upon loans that have been identified through the Company’s normal loan monitoring process. This process includes the review of delinquent and problem loans at the Company’s Delinquency, Credit, Credit Risk Management and Allowance Committees; or which may be identified through the Company’s loan review process. Generally, the Company only evaluates loans individually for impairment if the loan is non-accrual, non-homogeneous and the balance is at least $1.0 million, or if the loan was modified as a TDR.
For all classes of loans deemed collateral-dependent, the Company estimates expected credit losses based on the fair value of the collateral less any selling costs. If the loan is not collateral dependent, the allowance for credit losses related to individually assessed loans is based on discounted expected cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate.
A loan losses, each quarter management prepares an analysis that categorizesfor which the entire loan portfolioterms have been modified resulting in a concession by certain risk characteristics such as loan type (residential mortgage, commercial mortgage, construction, commercial, etc.)the Company, and loan risk rating.
When assigning a risk rating to a loan, management utilizes a nine point internal risk rating system. Loans deemedfor which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties is considered to be “acceptable quality”a TDR. The allowance for credit losses on a TDR is measured using the
43


same method as all other impaired loans, except that the original interest rate is used to discount the expected cash flows, not the rate specified within the restructuring.
For loans acquired that have experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since their origination are rated 1 through 4, with a ratingconsidered Purchased Credit Deteriorated ("PCD") loans. The Company evaluates acquired loans for deterioration in credit quality based on any of, 1 established for loans with minimal risk. Loans deemedbut not limited to, be of “questionable


quality” are rated 5 (watch) or 6 (special mention). Loans with adverse classifications (substandard, doubtful or loss) are rated 7, 8 or 9, respectively. Commercial mortgage, commercial and construction loans are rated individually and each lending officer is responsible for risk rating loans in their portfolio. Thesethe following: (1) non-accrual status; (2) troubled debt restructured designation; (3) risk ratings of special mention, substandard or doubtful; (4) watchlist credits; and (5) delinquency status, including loans that are then reviewed bycurrent on acquisition date, but had been previously delinquent. At the department manager and/or the Chief Lending Officer and the Credit Department. The risk ratings are also confirmed through periodic loan review examinations, which are currently performed byacquisition date, an independent third party, and periodically by the Credit Committee in theestimate of expected credit renewal or approval process. In addition, the Bank requires an annual review be performed for commercial and commercial real estate loans above certain dollar thresholds, depending on loan type, to help determine the appropriate risk rating.
Management estimates the amount of loan losses is made for groups of PCD loans by applying quantitative loss factorswith similar risk characteristics and individual PCD loans without similar risk characteristics. Subsequent to loan segments at the risk rating level, and applying qualitative adjustments to each loan segment atacquisition date, the portfolio level. Quantitative loss factors give consideration to historical loss experience by loan typeinitial allowance for credit losses on PCD loans will increase or decrease based upon an appropriate look back period and adjusted for a loss emergence period. Quantitative loss factors are evaluated at least annually. Management completed its annual evaluation of the quantitative loss factors for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. Qualitative adjustments give consideration to other qualitative or environmental factors such as trends and levels of delinquencies, impaired loans, charge-offs, recoveries and loan volumes, as well as national and local economic trends and conditions. Qualitative adjustments reflect riskson future evaluations, with changes recognized in the loan portfolio not captured by the quantitative loss factors and, as such, are evaluated from a risk level perspective relative to the risk levels present over the look back period. Qualitative adjustments are evaluated at least quarterly. The reserves resulting from the application of both of these sets of loss factors are combined to arrive at the allowanceprovision for loancredit losses.
Management believes the primary risks inherent in the portfolio are a general decline in the economy, a decline in real estate market values, rising unemployment or a protracted period of elevated unemployment, increasing vacancy rates in commercial investment properties and possible increases in interest rates in the absence of economic improvement. As the impact of COVID-19 continues, the effectiveness of medical advances, government programs, and the resulting impact on consumer behavior and employment conditions will have a material bearing on future credit conditions. Any one or a combination of these events may adversely affect borrowers’ ability to repay the loans, resulting in increased delinquencies, loancredit losses and futurehigher levels of provisions. Accordingly, the Company has provided for loan losses at the current level to address the current risk in its loan portfolio. Management considers it important to maintain the ratio of the allowance for loancredit losses to total loans at an acceptable level given current and forecasted economic conditions, interest rates and the composition of the portfolio.
Although management believes that the Company has established and maintained the allowance for loancredit losses at appropriate levels, additions may be necessary if future economic and other conditions differ substantially from the current operating environment.environment and economic forecast. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis giving consideration to forecasted economic factors, historical loss experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.factors. Such estimates and assumptions are adjusted when facts and circumstances dictate. IlliquidIn addition to the ongoing impact of COVID-19, illiquid credit markets, volatile securities markets, and declines in the housing and commercial real estate markets and the economy generally have combined toin general may increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loancredit losses as an integral part of their examination process. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance or additional write-downs based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Although management uses the best information available, the level of the allowance for loancredit losses remains an estimate that is subject to significant judgment and short-term change.
Additional critical accounting policies relateThe CECL approach to judgments about other asset impairments, including goodwill, investment securitiescalculate the allowance for credit losses on loans is significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics and deferred tax assets. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate potential impairment between annual measurement dates.
Management qualitatively determines whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount before performing Step 1quality of the goodwill impairment test. If an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the entity would be required to perform Step 1 of the assessment and then, if needed, Step 2 to determine whether goodwill is impaired. However, if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is more than its carrying amount, the entity does not need to apply the two-step impairment test. For this analysis, the Reporting Unit is definedCompany’s loan portfolio, as well as the Bank, which includes all coreprevailing economic conditions and retail banking operations of the Company but excludes the assets, liabilities, equity, earnings and operations held exclusively at the Company level. The guidance provides certain factors an entity should consider in its qualitative assessment in determining whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. The factors include:
Macroeconomic conditions, such as deterioration in economic condition and limited accessforecast utilized. Material changes to capital.
Industry and market considerations, such as increased competition, regulatory developments and decline in market-dependent multiples.


Cost factors, such as increased labor costs, cost of materialsthese and other operating costs.
Overall financial performance, such as declining cash flows and decline in revenue or earnings.
Other relevant entity-specific events, such as changes in management, strategy or customers, litigation and contemplation of bankruptcy.
Reporting unit events, such as selling or disposing a portion of a reporting unit and a change in composition of assets.
Management may, based upon its qualitative assessment, or at its option, perform the two-step process to evaluate the potential impairment of goodwill. If, based upon Step 1, the fair value of the Reporting Unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the Reporting Unit is considered not impaired. However, if the carrying amount of the Reporting Unit exceeds its fair value, an additional test must be performed. The second step test compares the implied fair value of the Reporting Unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. An impairment loss would be recordedfactors creates greater volatility to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.
The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2017. Based upon its qualitative assessment of goodwill, the Company concluded it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill was not impairedallowance for credit losses, and no further quantitative analysis (Step 1) was warranted.
The Company’s available for sale securities portfolio is carried at estimated fair value, with any unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in Stockholders’ Equity. Estimated fair values are based on market quotations or matrix pricing as discussed in Note 7therefore, greater volatility to the consolidated financial statements. Securities whichCompany’s reported earnings. See Note 3 to the Company hasConsolidated Financial Statements for more information on the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost. Management conducts a periodic review and evaluation of the securities portfolio to determine if any declines in the fair values of securities are other-than-temporary. In this evaluation, if such a decline were deemed other-than-temporary, management would measure the total credit-related component of the unrealized loss, and recognize that portion of the loss as a charge to current period earnings. The remaining portion of the unrealized loss would be recognized as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income. The fair value of the securities portfolio is significantly affected by changes in interest rates. In general, as interest rates rise, the fair value of fixed-rate securities decreases and as interest rates fall, the fair value of fixed-rate securities increases. The Company determines if it has the intent to sell these securities or if it is more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell the securities before the anticipated recovery. If either exists, the entire decline in value is considered other-than-temporary and would be recognized as an expense in the current period. In its evaluations, the Company did not recognize an other-than-temporary impairment chargeallowance for credit losses on securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.loans.
The determination of whether deferred tax assets will be realizable is predicated on the reversal of existing deferred tax liabilities utilization against carryback years and estimates of future taxable income. Such estimates are subject to management’s judgment. A valuation allowance is established when management is unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that it will realize deferred tax assets based on the nature and timing of these items. The Company did not require a valuation allowance at September 30, 2017 andMarch 31, 2022 or December 31, 2016.2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. Liquidity refers to the Company’s ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet financial obligations to its depositors, to fund loans and securities purchases, deposit outflows and operating expenses. Sources of funds include scheduled amortization of loans, loan prepayments, scheduled maturities of unpledged investments, cash flows from mortgage-backed securities and the ability to borrow funds from the FHLBNY and approved broker-dealers.
Cash flows from loan payments and maturing investment securities are fairly predictable sources of funds. Changes in interest rates, local economic conditions, the COVID-19 pandemic and related government response and the competitive marketplace can influence loan prepayments, prepayments on mortgage-backed securities and deposit flows.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has escalated the monitoring of deposit behavior, utilization of credit lines, and borrowing capacity with the FHLBNY and FRBNY, and is enhancing its collateral position with these funding sources.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the other federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule that revised the leverage and risk-based capital requirements and the method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, that waswere effective January 1, 2015. Among other things, the rule established a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (4.5% of risk-weighted assets), adopted a uniform minimum leverage capital ratio at 4%, increased the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets requirement (from 4% to 6% of risk-weighted assets) and assignsassigned a higher risk weight (150%) to exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrualnon-accrual status and to certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property. The rule also required unrealized gains and losses on certain “available-for-sale” securities holdings to be included for purposes of

Additional constraints were also imposed on the inclusion in regulatory capital of mortgage-servicing assets, deferred tax assets and minority interests. The rule limits a banking organization’s capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer,” which when fully phased-in will consist of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements.

Provision for LoanCredit Losses. Provisions for loancredit losses are charged to operations in order to maintain the allowance for loancredit losses at a level management considers necessary to absorb probableprojected credit losses inherentthat may arise over the expected term of each loan in the loan portfolio. In determining the level of the allowance for loancredit losses, management considersestimates the allowance balance using relevant available information from internal and external sources relating to past events, current conditions and current loss experience, evaluations of real estate collateral, currentreasonable and supportable economic conditions, volume and type of lending, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay the loan and the levels of non-performing and other classified loans.forecasts. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates, and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available or later events change. Management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for loancredit losses on a quarterly basis and makes provisions for loancredit losses, if necessary, in order to maintain the adequacyvaluation of the allowance.
The Company recorded provisionsa $6.4 million provision benefit for loancredit losses on loans for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared with a benefit of $500,000 and $3.7$15.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. This compared with provisions for loan lossesMarch 31, 2021. The decrease in the period-over-period provision benefit was largely a function of $1.0 millionthe relative change in the economic outlook and $4.2 million recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Forsignificant favorable impact of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,post-pandemic recovery in the Company had net charge-offs of $3.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively, compared with net charge-offs of $845,000 and $4.5 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2016.

Non-InterestIncome Tax Expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, non-interest expense totaled $46.3 million, an increase of $430,000, or 0.9%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. Compensation and benefits expense increased $603,000 to $27.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $26.7 million for the same period in 2016. This increase was principally due to additional salary expense related to annual merit increases, an increase in the accrual for incentive compensation and an increase in stock-based compensation, partially offset by a decrease in retirement benefit costs. Other operating expenses increased $128,000 to $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, largely due to an increase in consulting costs, partially offset by decreases in loan collection expense and debit card maintenance expense. Advertising and promotion expenses increased $120,000 to $907,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, largely due to the timing of the Company's advertising campaigns. Partially offsetting these increases in non-interest expense, amortization of intangibles decreased $135,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared with the same period in 2016, as a result of scheduled reductions in amortization. Additionally,


net occupancy costs decreased $122,000, to $6.1 million for three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, largely due to a decrease in depreciation expense.
Non-interest expense totaled $139.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $3.1 million, or 2.3%, compared to $136.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Compensation and benefits expense increased $2.6 million to $81.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $78.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to additional salary expense related to annual merit increases, an increase in the accrual for incentive compensation and an increase in stock-based compensation, partially offset by a decrease in retirement benefit costs. Net occupancy costs increased $526,000 to $19.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, principally due to an increase in snow removal costs, incurred earlier in the year, combined with an increase in facilities maintenance costs. Data processing expense increased $457,000 to $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $9.8 million for the same period in 2016, primarily due to increases in telecommunication costs and software maintenance expense. In addition, other operating expenses increased $620,000 to $21.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, largely due to increases in legal, consulting and debit card maintenance expenses, partially offset by a decrease in loan collection expense. Partially offsetting these increases in non-interest expense, FDIC insurance expense decreased $667,000 to $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $3.7 million for the same period in 2016. This decrease was due to the FDIC's reduction of assessment rates for depository institutions with less than $10.0 billion in total assets that became effective for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Additionally, amortization of intangibles decreased $549,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with the same period in 2016, as a result of scheduled reductions in amortization.
Income Tax Expense. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, the Company’s income tax expense was $12.0$15.2 million and $30.8 million, respectively, compared with $9.3 million and $26.8 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The Company’san effective tax rates were 31.1% and 29.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively,rate of 25.7%, compared to 28.8% and 29.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, as a greater proportion of income in the current year periods was derived from taxable sources. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)" in the third quarter of 2016. Under this guidance, all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies associated with share-based compensation are recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the application of this guidance resulted in decreases in income tax expense of $1.2$16.2 million and $158,000, respectively.with an effective tax rate of 25.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared with the same period last year was largely the result of a decrease in taxable income.
Item 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Qualitative Analysis. Interest rate risk is the exposure of a bank’s current and future earnings and capital arising from adverse movements in interest rates. The guidelines of the Company’s interest rate risk policy seek to limit the exposure to changes in interest rates that affect the underlying economic value of assets and liabilities, earnings and capital. To minimize interest rate risk, the Company generally sells all 20- and 30-year fixed-rate residential mortgage loans at origination. The Company retains residential fixed rate mortgages with terms of 15 years or less and biweekly payment residential mortgages with a term of 30 years or less. Commercial real estate loans generally have interest rates that reset in five years, and other commercial loans such as construction loans and commercial lines of credit reset with changes in the Prime rate, the Federal Funds rate or LIBOR. Investment securities purchases generally have maturities of five years or less, and mortgage-backed securities have weighted average lives between three and five years.
The Asset/Liability Committee meets on at least a monthly, basisor as needed, to review the impact of interest rate changes on net interest income, net interest margin, net income and the economic value of equity. The Asset/Liability Committee reviews a variety of strategies that project changes in asset or liability mix and the impact of those changes on projected net interest income and net income.
The Company’s strategy for liabilities has been to maintain a stable core-funding base by focusing on core deposit account acquisition and increasing products and services per household. The Company’s ability to retain maturing time deposit accounts is the result of its strategy to remain competitively priced within its marketplace. The Company’s pricing strategy may vary depending upon current funding needs and the ability of the Company to fund operations through alternative sources, primarily by accessing short-term lines of credit with the FHLBNY during periods of pricing dislocation.
Quantitative Analysis. Current and future sensitivity to changes in interest rates are measured through the use of balance sheet and income simulation models. The analysis captures changes in net interest income using flat rates as a base, a most likely rate forecast and rising and declining interest rate forecasts. Changes in net interest income and net income for the forecast period, generally twelve to twenty-four months, are measured and compared to policy limits for acceptable change. The Company periodically reviews historical deposit re-pricing activity and makes modifications to certain assumptions used in its income simulation model regarding the interest rate sensitivity of deposits without maturity dates. These modifications are made to more closely reflect the most likely results under the various interest rate change scenarios. Since it is inherently difficult to predict the
sensitivity of interest bearing deposits to changes in interest rates, the changes in net interest income due to changes in interest rates cannot be precisely predicted. There are a variety of reasons that may cause actual results to vary considerably from the predictions presented below which include, but are not limited to, the timing, magnitude, and frequency of changes in interest rates, interest rate spreads, prepayments, and actions taken in response to such changes.
49


Specific assumptions used in the simulation model include:
Parallel yield curve shifts for market rates;
Current asset and liability spreads to market interest rates are fixed;
Traditional savings and interest-bearing demand accounts move at 10% of the rate ramp in either direction;
Retail Money Market and Business Money Market accounts move at 25% and 75% of the rate ramp in either direction respectively;respectively, subject to certain interest rate floors; and
Higher-balance demand deposit tiers and promotional demand accounts move at 50% to 75% of the rate ramp in either direction, subject to certain interest rate floors.
The following table sets forth the results of a twelve-month net interest income projection model as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 (dollars in thousands):

The interest rate risk position of the Company remains moderately asset-sensitive notwithstanding the deployment of excess cash into fixed rate longer duration assets, including investment securities and loans during the first quarter of 2022. As a result, the preceding table indicates that, as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, in the event of a 300 basis point increase in interest rates, whereby rates ramp up evenly over a twelve-month period, net interest income would decrease 1.3%increase 4.9%, or $3.7$19.4 million. In the event of a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates, whereby rates ramp downward evenly over a twelve-month period, net interest income would decrease 4.8%3.2%, or $13.4$12.5 million over the same period. In this downward rate scenario, rates on deposits have a repricing floor of zero.

Another measure of interest rate sensitivity is to model changes in economic value of equity through the use of immediate and sustained interest rate shocks. The following table illustrates the result of the economic value of equity model as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 (dollars in thousands):

The preceding table indicates that as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, in the event of an immediate and sustained 300 basis point increase in interest rates, the present value of equity is projected to decrease 8.6%increase 6.6%, or $121.4$148.0 million. If rates were to decrease 100 basis points, the model forecasts a 5.3%, or $74.4 million, increase in the present value of equity.equity would decrease 6.3%, or $140.6 million.
Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in net interest income requires the use of certain assumptions regarding prepayment and deposit decay rates, which may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. While management believes such assumptions are reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment rates and decay rates will approximate actual future loan prepayment and deposit withdrawal activity. Moreover, the net interest income table presented assumes that the composition of interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the net interest income table provides an


indication of the Company’s interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurement is not intended to and does not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on the Company’s net interest income and will differ from actual results.
