The effects of the acquired assets have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The operations of this acquisition have been integrated into the Company and discrete reporting of revenues and direct expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 is not practicable.
On April 1, 2024, the Company, through its subsidiary OneGroup, completed the acquisition of a New York-based insurance agency for $ 4.2 million in cash plus contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $ 0.4 million at acquisition date. The effects of the acquired assets and liabilities are included in the consolidated financial statements from that date. The contingent consideration arrangement requires additional consideration to be paid by the Company based on a percentage of retained revenue two years after the date of acquisition, up to a maximum of $ 1.0 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration of $ 0.4 million at the acquisition date was estimated based on projected retained revenue levels. Net assets acquired were $ 2.1 million, including $ 2.5 million of customer list intangible assets, and the Company recorded $ 2.5 million of goodwill in conjunction with the acquisition. Revenues and direct expenses included in the consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were immaterial.
On February 1, 2024, the Company, through its subsidiary Benefit Plans Administrative Services, LLC (“BPA”), completed the acquisition of certain assets of Creative Plan Designs Limited (“CPD”), a financial services company that provides employee benefit plan design, administration and consulting services. Total consideration was $ 5.9 million in cash plus contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $ 3.0 million at acquisition date. The effects of the acquired assets are included in the consolidated financial statements from that date. Net assets acquired were $ 4.5 million, including $ 5.5 million of customer list intangible assets, and the Company recorded $ 4.4 million of goodwill in conjunction with the acquisition. The operations of this acquisition have been integrated into the Company and discrete reporting of revenues and direct expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 is not practicable.

The acquisition of CPD includes contingent consideration arrangements that require additional consideration to be paid by the Company based on the future revenue levels of CPD over approximately three years and a contract holdback payment. The contract holdback will be paid upon satisfaction of certain customer retention requirements, and will be prorated based on actual results. The contract holdback amount was estimated at the maximum level of $ 1.5 million at the acquisition date. The revenue-based contingent consideration is payable in four installments, based on future revenue levels of CPD in 2024, 2025, 2026 and the first quarter of 2027. The range of undiscounted amounts the Company could pay under the contingent consideration agreement is between zero and $ 2.0 million for the first three payments in total and a variable amount for the fourth payment, which is between zero and a percentage of annualized revenue above a threshold for a particular revenue stream in the first quarter of 2027. The fair value of the contingent consideration recognized on the acquisition date of $ 3.0 million was estimated by applying the income approach, a measure that is based on significant Level 3 inputs not readily observable in the market. Key assumptions at the date of acquisition include (1) a discount rate range of 15.1 % to 19.1 % to present value the payments and (2) probability of achievement of future revenue levels of 82 %.
During 2023, the Company, through its subsidiaries OneGroup, OneGroup Wealth Partners, Inc. (“Wealth Partners”) and Benefit Plans Administrative Services, Inc. (“BPAS”), completed the acquisition of certain assets of financial services companies. The acquired companies provide insurance, wealth management and benefit plan recordkeeping services and are headquartered in New York, Pennsylvania and Florida. Total aggregate consideration for these acquisitions was $ 8.3 million, including $ 6.8 million in cash and $ 1.5 million in contingent consideration arrangements. The contingent consideration arrangements are based on achieving certain levels of retained revenue over a period ranging from two to five years . The fair value of these arrangements has been recorded based on the assumption that retained revenue levels will meet or exceed the required threshold for the maximum contingent consideration payments. Aggregate assets acquired were $ 5.3 million, including $ 5.1 million of customer list intangible assets, and the Company recorded goodwill of $ 3.0 million. The effects of the acquired assets have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The operations of these acquisitions have been integrated into the Company and discrete reporting of revenues and direct expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is not practicable.
On March 1, 2023, the Company, through its subsidiary Community Bank, N.A. (“CBNA”), completed the acquisition of certain assets of Axiom Realty Group, which includes Axiom Capital Corp., Axiom Realty Management, LLC and Axiom Realty Advisors, LLC (collectively referred to as “Axiom”), a commercial real estate finance and advisory firm, for $ 1.8 million in cash. The Company recorded a $ 1.2 million customer list intangible and recognized $ 0.6 million of goodwill in conjunction with the acquisition. The effects of the acquired assets have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date. Revenues of approximately $ 0.1 million and $ 0.7 million and direct expenses of approximately $ 0.5 million and $ 1.3 million were included in the consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were immaterial and were approximately $ 0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Direct expenses of approximately $ 0.5 million and $ 0.7 million were included in the consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
The assets and liabilities assumed in the acquisitions were recorded at their estimated fair values based on management’s best estimates using information available at the dates of the acquisitions, and are subject to adjustment based on updated information not available at the time of the acquisitions. During the first quarter of 2024, an additional cash consideration payment of $ 0.1 million was made in connection with a 2023 acquisition based upon the receipt of new information resulting in a $ 0.1 million increase to the carrying value of other intangibles and had no impact on the carrying value of goodwill.
The Axiom acquisition generally expanded the Company’s lending presence nationwide. The OneGroup and Wealth Partners acquisitions generally expanded the Company’s insurance and wealth management presence in New York, Florida and Pennsylvania. The BPAS and BPA acquisitions generally expanded the Company’s employee benefit services presence in New York. Management expects that the Company will benefit from greater geographic diversity and the advantages of other synergistic business development opportunities.

NOTE C: ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies of the Company, as applied in the consolidated interim financial statements presented herein, are substantially the same as those followed on an annual basis as presented on pages 84 through 97 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024 except as noted below.
Contract Balances
A contract asset balance occurs when an entity performs a service for a customer before the customer pays consideration (resulting in a contract receivable) or before payment is due (resulting in a contract asset). A contract liability balance is an entity’s obligation to transfer a service to a customer for which the entity has already received payment (or payment is due) from the customer. The Company’s noninterest revenue streams are largely based on transactional activity, or standard month-end revenue accruals such as asset management fees based on month-end market values. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly after the Company satisfies its performance obligation and revenue is recognized. The Company does not typically enter into long-term revenue contracts with customers, and therefore, does not experience significant contract balances. As of June 30, 2024, $ 31.9 million of accounts receivable, including $ 8.4 million of unbilled fee revenue, and $ 2.6 million of unearned revenue, was recorded in the consolidated statements of condition. As of December 31, 2023, $ 41.7 million of accounts receivable, including $ 8.1 million of unbilled fee revenue, and $ 0.8 million of unearned revenue, was recorded in the consolidated statements of condition.

Segment Information
Effective January 1, 2024, the Company changed its determination of reportable segments and reportable measure of segment profit or loss in connection with the appointment of the Company’s new President and Chief Executive Officer, who serves as the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), and changes in the information the CODM regularly reviews and uses to allocate resources and assess performance. The appointment of the Company’s new President and Chief Executive Officer followed the retirement of the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer, who previously served as the Company’s CODM until December 31, 2023. The change in determination of reportable segments was also driven by a change in the disaggregation of segment information that management believes would be useful to readers of the financial statements and to align its reportable segments with financial information communicated to external parties, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and the business leaders who regularly meet with the CODM who also review this information at the same level of disaggregation. The change in reportable measure of segment profit or loss aligns with a change in the measurement principles of the internal reporting package used by the CODM to allocate resources and assess performance, which is presented on an operating basis excluding certain items considered non-core to the underlying business. Effective January 1, 2024, the Company has identified (1) Banking and Corporate; (2) Employee Benefit Services; (3) Insurance; and (4) Wealth Management as its reportable segments and determined that operating income before income taxes is the reportable measure of segment profit or loss that the CODM regularly reviews and uses to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s insurance services revenue and wealth management services revenue are reported separately in the Insurance reportable segment and Wealth Management reportable segment, respectively. The prior period has been recast to conform to the new current period presentation. See Note M for more detail on segment information.
Leases
The Company entered into certain finance leases during the second quarter of 2024. Leases are classified as operating or finance leases at the lease commencement date. The classification is governed by five criteria in accordance with FASB ASC 842-10-25-2, and if any of the five criteria are met, the lease is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as an operating lease. The right-of-use assets associated with finance leases are included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated statements of condition. The lease liabilities associated with finance leases are included in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and other borrowings in the Company’s consolidated statements of condition.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to the current period’s presentation.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , to update reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance by the CODM. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2024 and the enhanced disclosures are expected to be initially provided in its December 31, 2024 Form 10-K in alignment with the mandatory effective dates of the ASU.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The update requires enhancements to the rate reconciliation, including disclosure of specific categories and additional information for reconciling items meeting a quantitative threshold as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes, and individual jurisdictions meeting a quantitative threshold. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this will have on the consolidated financial statements, however it is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.

The unrealized losses reported pertaining to available-for-sale securities issued by the U.S. government and its sponsored entities include treasuries, agencies, and mortgage-backed securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac, which are currently rated AAA by Moody’s Investor Services, AA+ by Standard & Poor’s and are guaranteed by the U.S. government. The majority of the obligations of state and political subdivisions carry a credit rating of A or better. Additionally, a portion of the obligations of state and political subdivisions carry a secondary level of credit enhancement. The Company holds two corporate debt securities in an unrealized loss position and, based on an analysis of the financial position of the issuers including financial performance, liquidity and regulatory capital ratios, the issuers of the securities show a remote risk of default. Timely interest payments continue to be made on the securities. The unrealized losses in the portfolios are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates. As such, management does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of June 30, 2024 represents credit losses and no related allowance for credit losses has been recognized. Accordingly, there is no allowance for credit losses on the Company’s available-for-sale investment portfolio as of June 30, 2024. Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale debt securities, included in accrued interest and fees receivable on the consolidated statements of condition, totaled $ 14.0 million at June 30, 2024 and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

Table of Contents
Securities classified as held-to-maturity are included under the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) methodology. Calculation of expected credit loss under CECL is done on a collective (“pooled”) basis, with assets grouped when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company notes that at June 30, 2024 all securities in the held-to-maturity classification are U.S. Treasury securities and government agency mortgage-backed securities; therefore, they share the same risk characteristics and can be evaluated on a collective basis. The expected credit loss on these securities is evaluated based on historical credit losses of this security type and the expected possibility of default in the future, and these securities are guaranteed by the U.S. government. U.S. Treasury securities and government agency mortgage-backed securities often receive the highest credit rating by rating agencies and the Company has concluded that the possibility of default is considered remote. The U.S. Treasury securities and government agency mortgage-backed securities held by the Company in the held-to-maturity category carry an AA+ rating from Standard & Poor’s, AAA from Moody’s Investor Services, and AA+ from Fitch. The Company concludes that the long history with no credit losses for these securities (adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts) indicates an expectation that nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is zero. Management has concluded that the prepayment risk associated with these securities is insignificant and it is expected to recover the recorded investment. Accordingly, there is no allowance for credit losses on the Company’s held-to-maturity debt portfolio as of June 30, 2024. Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity debt securities, included in accrued interest and fees receivable on the consolidated statements of condition, totaled $ 5.4 million at June 30, 2024 and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. The Company has the intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities at June 30, 2024, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Securities not due at a single maturity date, including government agency mortgage-backed securities and government agency collateralized mortgage obligations, are shown separately.

Investment securities with a carrying value of $ 2.05 billion and $ 2.14 billion at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, were pledged to collateralize certain deposits and borrowings. Securities pledged to collateralize certain borrowings included $ 344.8 million and $ 598.9 million of U.S. Treasury securities that were pledged as collateral for securities sold under agreement to repurchase at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. All securities sold under agreement to repurchase as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 have an overnight and continuous maturity.
During the first quarter of 2023, the Company sold $ 786.1 million in book value of available-for-sale U.S. Treasury and agency securities, recognizing $ 52.3 million of gross realized losses.

The proceeds from these sales of $ 733.8 million were redeployed entirely towards paying off existing overnight borrowings.
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company sold $ 31.2 million in book value of available-for-sale obligations of state and political subdivisions securities, recognizing $ 0.2 million of gross realized gains and $ 0.4 million of gross realized losses.

Table of Contents
The Company uses several credit quality indicators to assess credit risk in an ongoing manner. The Company’s primary credit quality indicator for its business lending portfolio is an internal credit risk rating system that categorizes loans as “pass”, “special mention”, “substandard”, or “doubtful”. Credit risk ratings are applied to loans individually based on a case-by-case evaluation. In general, the following are the definitions of the Company’s credit quality indicators:
Pass
The condition of the borrower and the performance of the loans are satisfactory or better.
Special Mention
The condition of the borrower has deteriorated and the loan has potential weaknesses, although the loan performs as agreed. Loss may be incurred at some future date if conditions deteriorate further.
Substandard
The condition of the borrower has significantly deteriorated and the loan has a well-defined weakness or weaknesses. The performance of the loan could further deteriorate and incur loss if deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful
The condition of the borrower has deteriorated to the point that collection of the balance is improbable based on current facts and conditions and loss is likely.

Business lending loans greater than $ 0.5 million that are on nonaccrual are individually assessed, and if necessary, a specific allocation of the allowance for credit losses is provided. If management determines that foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses for collateral dependent loans are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for estimated selling costs as appropriate. A loan is considered collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the loan is expected to be repaid substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. The collateral for individually assessed CRE non-owner occupied loans consists mainly of office properties associated with two customers. A summary of individually assessed business loans as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 follows:

The average carrying balance of individually assessed loans was $ 15.9 million and $ 2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The average carrying balance of individually assessed loans was $ 16.1 million and $ 3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. No interest income was recognized on individually assessed loans for the three or six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Occasionally, the Company modifies loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty by providing principal forgiveness, term extension, payment delay, or interest rate reduction. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged-off against the allowance for credit losses.
In some cases, the Company provides multiple types of modifications on one loan. Typically, one type of modification, such as a term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another modification, such as principal forgiveness, may be granted. Upon the Company’s determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is charged off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount. The estimate of allowance for credit losses includes historical losses from loans that were modified due to borrower financial difficulty, therefore a charge to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification.

The following table presents the amortized cost basis of loans at June 30, 2024 that were both experiencing financial difficulty and modified during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, by class and by type of modification. The percentage of the amortized cost basis of loans that were modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty as compared to the amortized cost basis of each class of financing receivable is also presented below. The Company did not have any modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty other than term extensions. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the amount of loans that were modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty was immaterial.

The allowance for credit losses increased to $ 71.4 million at June 30, 2024 compared to $ 66.7 million at December 31, 2023 and $ 63.2 million at March 31, 2023, reflective of an increase in loans outstanding, a stable economic forecast and continued macroeconomic uncertainty primarily concerning the business lending and consumer indirect portfolios.
Accrued interest receivable on loans, included in accrued interest and fees receivable on the consolidated statements of condition, totaled $ 34.4 million at June 30, 2024 and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses and amortized cost basis of loans.
The Company utilizes the historical loss rate on its loan portfolio as the initial basis for the estimate of credit losses using the cumulative loss, vintage loss and line loss methods, which is derived from the Company’s historical loss experience. Adjustments to historical loss experience were made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics and to address current period delinquencies, charge-off rates, risk ratings, lack of loan level data through an entire economic cycle, changes in loan sizes and underwriting standards as well as the addition of acquired loans which were not underwritten by the Company. The Company considered historical losses immediately prior, through and following the Great Recession compared to the historical period used for modeling to adjust the historical information to account for longer-term expectations for loan credit performance. Under CECL, the Company is required to consider future economic conditions to determine current expected credit losses. Management selected an eight-quarter reasonable and supportable forecast period with a four-quarter reversion to the historical mean to use as part of the economic forecast, and utilizes a two-quarter lag adjustment for economic factors that are not dependent on collateral values, and no lag for factors that utilize collateral values. Management determined that these qualitative adjustments were needed to adjust historical information for expected losses and to reflect changes as a result of current conditions.
For qualitative macroeconomic adjustments, the Company uses third-party forecasted economic data scenarios utilizing a base scenario and two alternative scenarios that are weighted, with forecasts available as of June 30, 2024. These forecasts were factored into the qualitative portion of the calculation of the estimated credit losses and include the impact of a decline in residential real estate and vehicle prices as well as inflation. The scenarios utilized forecast stable unemployment levels, modest GDP and real household income growth, offset by some declines in auto, housing and commercial real estate prices.
Management developed expected loss estimates considering factors for segments as outlined below:
● Business lending – non real estate: The Company selected projected unemployment and GDP as indicators of forecasted losses related to business lending and utilize both factors in an even weight for the calculation. The Company also considered delinquencies, risk rating changes, recent charge-off history and acquired loans as part of the review of estimated losses.
● Business lending – real estate: The Company selected projected unemployment and commercial real estate values as indicators of forecasted losses related to commercial real estate loans for non – office specific properties and utilize both factors in an even weight for the calculation. For office specific properties, the Company selected projected office specific commercial real estate values and vacancy rates and utilize both factors in an even weight for the calculation. The Company also considered the factors noted in business lending – non real estate.
● Consumer mortgages and home equity: The Company selected projected unemployment and residential real estate values as indicators of forecasted losses related to mortgage lending and utilize both factors in an even weight for the calculation. In addition, current delinquencies, charge-offs and acquired loans were considered.

● Consumer indirect: The Company selected projected unemployment and vehicle valuation indices as indicators of forecasted losses related to indirect lending and utilize both factors in an even weight for the calculation. In addition, current delinquencies, charge-offs and acquired loans were considered.
● Consumer direct: The Company selected projected unemployment and inflation-adjusted household income as indicators of forecasted losses related to consumer direct lending and utilize both factors in an even weight for the calculation. In addition, current delinquencies, charge-offs and acquired loans were considered.
At June 30, 2024, loans with a carrying amount of approximately $ 4.49 billion were pledged for the availability to secure certain borrowings with the FHLB and FRB. There were $ 710.7 million of borrowings outstanding under these arrangements at June 30, 2024.
At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were foreclosures in process of $ 6.2 million and $ 5.8 million, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company did not purchase any loans, while the Company sold $ 12.8 million of secondary market eligible residential consumer mortgage loans during the period. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not purchase any loans and sold $ 1.8 million of secondary market eligible residential consumer mortgage loans.

NOTE I: EARNINGS PER SHARE
The two class method is used in the calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share. Under the two class method, earnings available to common shareholders for the period are allocated between common shareholders and participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company has determined that all of its outstanding non-vested stock awards are participating securities as of June 30, 2024.
27
Table of Contents
Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted-average of the common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted-average of the shares outstanding and the assumed exercise of stock options during the year. The dilutive effect of options is calculated using the treasury stock method of accounting. The treasury stock method determines the number of common shares that would be outstanding if all the dilutive options were exercised and the proceeds were used to repurchase common shares in the open market at the average market price for the applicable time period. Weighted-average anti-dilutive stock options outstanding were approximately 0.3 million and 0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and were immaterial and 0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and were not included in the computation below.

NOTE J: COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND RESTRICTIONS
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments consist primarily of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers, generally having fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses that may require payment of a fee. These commitments consist principally of unused commercial and consumer credit lines. Standby letters of credit generally are contingent upon the failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of an underlying contract with a third - party. The credit risks associated with commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are essentially the same as that involved with extending loans to customers and are subject to the Company’s normal credit policies. Collateral may be obtained based on management’s assessment of the customer’s creditworthiness. The fair value of the standby letters of credit is immaterial for disclosure.
The contract amounts of commitments and contingencies are as follows:

On November 16, 2023, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) issued a final rulemaking that implemented a special assessment to recover the uninsured deposit losses from bank failures that occurred during 2023. The final rule anticipated collecting the special assessment over eight quarterly assessment periods beginning in 2024 at an annual rate of approximately 13.4 basis points of uninsured deposits that exceeded $ 5.0 billion as of December 31, 2022. The FDIC has indicated that the amount of the special assessment and number of quarterly assessment periods are subject to adjustment as their loss estimates change. The Company accrued $ 1.5 million of expense related to the FDIC special assessment in 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company accrued an additional $ 0.4 million associated with an expected increase to the FDIC special assessment based on the receipt of new information. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company reduced its accrual by $ 0.1 million associated with an expected decrease to the FDIC special assessment based on the receipt of additional new information from the FDIC that indicated an update to the special assessment amount and an increase in the number of quarterly assessment periods from eight to ten . Total FDIC insurance expense was $ 1.9 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and was $ 4.5 million and $ 4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Legal Contingencies
On at least a quarterly basis, the Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with pending or threatened legal proceedings or other matters in which claims for monetary damages are asserted. For those matters where it is probable that the Company will incur losses and the amounts of the losses are reasonably estimable, the Company records an expense and corresponding liability in its consolidated financial statements. To the extent such matters could result in exposure in excess of that liability, the amount of such excess is not currently estimable. The range of losses that are reasonably possible for matters where an exposure is not currently estimable or considered probable is not believed to be material in the aggregate. This is based on information currently available to the Company and involves elements of judgment and significant uncertainties.
The Company recorded a loss contingency in 2023 related to the anticipated settlement, following mediation, of a threatened collective and class action asserted against CBNA on behalf of certain nonexempt branch employees, regarding unpaid wages under the Fair Labor Standards Act and applicable state labor laws. On February 5, 2024, following a mediation held on February 1, 2024, the Company agreed to a settlement in the amount of $ 5.8 million. A settlement agreement has been executed by the parties and the terms of the settlement have been approved by the Court. The Company recorded a $ 5.8 million litigation accrual at December 31, 2023. During the three months ended June 2024, the Company paid $ 5.8 million to the qualified settlement fund and the claims administrator mailed a notice and settlement check to class members who are eligible to participate in the settlement. Any funds that remain in the qualified settlement fund after the deadline to negotiate the settlement checks will revert to CBNA during the three months ended December 31, 2024.

NOTE K: FAIR VALUE
Accounting standards establish a framework for measuring fair value and require certain disclosures about such fair value instruments. It defines fair value as 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 (i.e. exit price). Inputs used to measure fair value are classified into the following hierarchy:
●
Level 1 -
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
●
Level 2 -
Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
●
Level 3 -
Significant valuation assumptions not readily observable in a market.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. There were no transfers between any of the levels for the periods presented.

The valuation techniques used to measure fair value for the items in the table above are as follows:
● Available-for-sale investment securities and equity securities – The fair values of available-for-sale investment securities are based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using quoted market prices for similar securities or model-based valuation techniques. Level 1 securities include U.S. Treasury obligations and marketable equity securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets. Level 2 securities include U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed securities issued by government-sponsored entities, municipal securities and corporate debt securities that are valued by reference to prices for similar securities or through model-based techniques in which all significant inputs, such as reported trades, trade execution data, interest rate swap yield curves, market prepayment speeds, credit information, market spreads, and security’s terms and conditions, are observable. See Note D for further disclosure of the fair value of investment securities.
● Mortgage loans held for sale – The Company has elected to value loans held for sale at fair value in order to more closely match the gains and losses associated with loans held for sale with the gains and losses on forward sales contracts. Accordingly, the impact on the valuation will be recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. All mortgage loans held for sale are current and in performing status. The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is determined using quoted secondary-market prices of loans with similar characteristics and, as such, has been classified as a Level 2 valuation. The unpaid principal value of mortgage loans held for sale was approximately $ 1.2 million at June 30, 2024 and $ 0.4 million at December 31, 2023. Mortgage loans held for sale are included in other assets in the consolidated statements of condition. The unrealized gain on mortgage loans held for sale was recognized in mortgage banking revenues in the consolidated statements of income and is immaterial.
● Forward sales commitments – The Company enters into forward sales commitments to sell certain residential real estate loans. Such commitments are considered to be derivative financial instruments and, therefore, are carried at estimated fair value in the other asset or other liability section of the consolidated statements of condition. The fair value of these forward sales commitments is primarily measured by obtaining pricing from certain government-sponsored entities and reflects the underlying price the entity would pay the Company for an immediate sale on these mortgages. As such, these instruments are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
● Commitments to originate real estate loans for sale – The Company enters into various commitments to originate residential real estate loans for sale. Such commitments are considered to be derivative financial instruments and, therefore, are carried at estimated fair value in the other asset or other liability section of the consolidated statements of condition. The estimated fair value of these commitments is determined using quoted secondary market prices obtained from certain government-sponsored entities. Additionally, accounting guidance requires the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan to be included in the fair value measurement of the derivative. The expected net future cash flows are based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income. Such assumptions include estimates of the cost of servicing loans, appropriate discount rate and prepayment speeds. The determination of expected net cash flows is considered a significant unobservable input contributing to the Level 3 classification of commitments to originate real estate loans for sale.
● Interest rate swaps – The interest rate swaps are reported at their fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs from a third-party advisor. The fair value measurement of the interest rate swap is determined by netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on the expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate curves.

Loans are generally not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Periodically, the Company records nonrecurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of those loans. Nonrecurring adjustments also include certain impairment amounts for collateral-dependent loans calculated when establishing the allowance for credit losses. Such amounts are generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan and, as a result, the carrying value of the loan less the calculated valuation amount does not necessarily represent the fair value of the loan. Real estate collateral is typically valued using independent appraisals or other indications of value based on recent comparable sales of similar properties or assumptions generally observable in the marketplace, adjusted for non-observable inputs. Thus, the resulting nonrecurring fair value measurements are generally classified as Level 3. Estimates of fair value used for other collateral supporting commercial loans generally are based on assumptions not observable in the marketplace and, therefore, such valuations classify as Level 3.
Other real estate owned (“OREO”) is valued at the time the loan is foreclosed upon and the asset is transferred to OREO. The value is based primarily on third - party appraisals, less estimated costs to sell. The appraisals are sometimes further discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the customer and customer’s business. Such discounts are significant, ranging from 7.1 % to 93.1 % at June 30, 2024 and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. OREO is reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors identified above. The Company recovers the carrying value of OREO through the sale of the property. The ability to affect future sales prices is subject to market conditions and factors beyond the Company’s control and may impact the estimated fair value of a property.
Originated mortgage servicing rights are recorded at their fair value at the time of sale of the underlying loan, and are amortized in proportion to and over the estimated period of net servicing income. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on a valuation model incorporating inputs that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income. Such inputs include estimates of the cost of servicing loans, appropriate discount rate and prepayment speeds and are considered to be unobservable and contribute to the Level 3 classification of mortgage servicing rights. In accordance with GAAP, the Company records impairment charges, on a nonrecurring basis, when the carrying value of a stratum exceeds its estimated fair value. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance. Subsequent increases in the estimated fair value of a stratum are recorded by reducing the valuation allowance up to an amount that results in the stratum being carried at its remaining amortized cost. There was a valuation allowance of approximately $ 1.2 million at December 31, 2023. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 the Company recognized a $ 1.2 million impairment recovery resulting in no valuation allowance at June 30, 2024.
The Company has recorded contingent consideration liabilities that arise from acquisition activity. The contingent consideration is recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. The valuation of contingent consideration is calculated using an income approach method, which provides an estimation of the fair value of an asset or liability based on future cash flows over a discrete projection period, discounted to present value using an appropriate rate of return. The assumptions used in the valuation calculation are based on significant unobservable inputs, therefore such valuations classify as Level 3.
The contingent consideration related to the FBD acquisition completed in 2021 was revalued at December 31, 2023. The remaining contingent consideration accrual was adjusted to the maximum potential amount of $ 2.7 million, using a potential probability of achievement of 100 %.

The first of the two required payments were made on the OneGroup acquisition of Thomas Gregory Associates Insurance Brokers, Inc. (“TGA”) contingent consideration in the third quarter of 2023 in the amount of $ 2.4 million, based on actual retained revenue results. The remaining contingent consideration liability related to the TGA acquisition was revalued at December 31, 2023 for an adjusted fair value of $ 1.0 million.
The first required payment was made on the CPD contingent consideration in the second quarter of 2024 in the amount of $ 0.9 million based on satisfaction of certain customer retention requirements.
The Company determines fair values based on quoted market values, where available, estimates of present values, or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including, but not limited to, the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. The significant unobservable inputs used in the determination of fair value of assets classified as Level 3 on a recurring or non-recurring basis are as follows:

The significant unobservable inputs used in the determination of the fair value of assets classified as Level 3 have an inherent measurement uncertainty that, if changed, could result in higher or lower fair value measurements of these assets as of the reporting date. The weighted average of the estimated cost of disposal/market adjustment for individually assessed loans was calculated by dividing the total of the book value of the collateral of the individually assessed loans classified as Level 3 by the total of the fair value of the collateral of the individually assessed loans classified as Level 3. The weighted average of the estimated cost of disposal/market adjustment for other real estate owned was calculated by dividing the total of the differences between the appraisal values of the real estate and the book values of the real estate divided by the totals of the appraisal values of the real estate. The weighted average of the constant prepayment rate for mortgage servicing rights was calculated by adding the constant prepayment rates used in each loan pool weighted by the balance in each loan pool. The weighted average of the discount rate for mortgage servicing rights was calculated by adding the discount rates used in each loan pool weighted by the balance in each loan pool. The weighted average of the discount rate for the contingent consideration was calculated by adding the discount rates used for the calculation of the fair value of each payment of contingent consideration, weighted by the amount of the payment as part of the total fair value of contingent consideration. The weighted average of the probability of achievement was determined by calculating the proportion of the probability-weighted payment of the total maximum payment, weighted by the amount of the payment as part of the total fair value of contingent consideration.

The following is a further description of the principal valuation methods used by the Company to estimate the fair values of its financial instruments.
Loans have been classified as a Level 3 valuation. Fair values for variable rate loans that reprice frequently are based on carrying values. Fair values for fixed rate loans are estimated using discounted cash flows and interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.
Held-to-maturity U.S. Treasury and agency securities have been classified as a Level 1 valuation. The fair values of held-to-maturity U.S. Treasury and agency investment securities are based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using quoted market prices for similar securities or model-based valuation techniques. Held-to-maturity government agency mortgage-backed securities have been classified as a Level 2 valuation. The fair values of held-to-maturity government agency mortgage-backed securities are based on current market rates for similar products.
Deposits have been classified as a Level 2 valuation. The fair value of demand deposits, interest-bearing checking deposits, savings accounts and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of time deposit obligations are based on current market rates for similar securities.
Borrowings have been classified as a Level 2 valuation. The fair value of overnight borrowings and securities sold under agreement to repurchase, short-term, is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Fair values for other FHLB borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flows and interest rates currently being offered on similar securities.
Other financial assets and liabilities – Cash and cash equivalents have been classified as a Level 1 valuation, while accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable have been classified as a Level 2 valuation. The fair values of each approximate the respective carrying values because the instruments are payable on demand or have short-term maturities and present relatively low credit risk and interest rate risk.
NOTE L: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company is party to derivative financial instruments in the normal course of its business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to manage its exposure to fluctuation in interest rates and credit risk. These financial instruments have been limited to interest rate swap agreements and risk participation agreements. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

Table of Contents
Interest Rate Swaps
The Company enters into interest rate swaps to assist our customers in managing their interest rate risk. These swaps are considered derivatives, but are not designated in hedging relationships. These instruments have associated interest rate and credit risk. To mitigate the interest rate risk, the Company enters into offsetting interest rate swaps with counterparties, which are also considered derivatives and are not designated in hedging relationships. Interest rate swaps are recorded within other assets or accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition at their estimated fair value. The terms of the interest rate swaps with the customer and the counterparties offset each other, with the only difference being counterparty credit risk. Any changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts are reported in other banking services noninterest revenue in the consolidated statements of income.
Risk Participation Agreements
The Company may enter into a risk participation agreement (“RPA”) with another institution as a means to assume a portion of the credit risk associated with a loan structure which includes a derivative instrument, in exchange for fee income commensurate with the risk assumed, referred to as an “RPA sold”. In addition, in an effort to reduce the credit risk associated with an interest rate swap agreement with a borrower for whom the Company has provided a loan structured with a derivative, the Company may purchase an RPA from an institution participating in the facility in exchange for a fee commensurate with the risk shared, referred to as an “RPA purchased”.
Forward Sales Commitments
The Company enters into forward sales commitments for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans, and interest rate lock commitments to fund loans at a specified interest rate. The forward sales commitments are utilized to reduce interest rate risk associated with interest rate lock commitments and loans held for sale. Changes in the estimated fair value of the forward sales commitments and interest rate lock commitments subsequent to inception are based on changes in the fair value of the underlying loan resulting from the fulfillment of the commitment and changes in the probability that the loan will fund within the terms of the commitment, which is affected primarily by changes in interest rates and the passage of time. At inception and during the life of the interest rate lock commitment, the Company includes the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan as part of the fair value measurement of the interest rate lock commitments.

Fee income earned on interest rate swaps and risk participation agreements is recognized in other banking services noninterest revenues in the consolidated statements of income during the period the derivative instrument is executed. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $ 0.3 million and $ 0.4 million, respectively, of fee income associated with interest rate swaps and risk participation agreements.
Cash collateral is posted by the Company with counterparties to secure certain derivatives, which is included in cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated statements of condition. The amount of such collateral at June 30, 2024 was $ 0.6 million.
The Company assessed its counterparty risk at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and determined any credit risk inherent in our derivative contracts was not material. Further information about the fair value of derivative financial instruments can be found in Note K to these consolidated financial statements.
NOTE M: SEGMENT INFORMATION
Operating segments are components of an enterprise, which are evaluated regularly by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
