Current report

Unrealized losses in our available-for-sale investment securities portfolio could adversely affect liquidity— As market interest rates increased during 2022 and 2023, we experienced increased unrealized losses within our available-for-sale investment securities portfolio. Our available-for-sale investment securities portfolio consists of obligations of the U.S. Treasury and federal agencies, obligations of state and local municipalities and federal agency mortgage obligations. We held no held-to-maturity or equity securities at December 31, 2024. Many of the instruments in our securities portfolio are particularly sensitive to interest rate fluctuations, especially long-term fixed-income securities. The unrealized losses of our securities portfolio are reflected in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and reduces our book capital and tangible common equity ratio. However, unrealized losses do not affect our regulatory capital ratios.

Current report

Management continues to actively monitor the investment portfolio and may continue to take advantage of opportunistic restructuring alternatives from time to time. If we sell securities from our investment portfolio before the full recovery of their amortized cost bases (which is typically at maturity), then we may incur losses.

Current report

Furthermore, there continues to be heightened legislative and regulatory focus on privacy, data protection and information security. New or revised laws and regulations may significantly impact our current and planned privacy, data protection and information security-related practices, the collection, use, sharing, retention and safeguarding of consumer and employee information, and current or planned business activities. Compliance with current or future privacy, data protection and information security laws could result in higher compliance and technology costs and could restrict our ability to provide certain products and services, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Current report

Our business is subject to fraud attempts— As a financial institution, we are susceptible to fraudulent activity rendered against us or our customers that may result in financial loss, increased costs, privacy breaches, misappropriation of assets, litigation, or damage to our reputation. These acts may take many forms including check fraud, wire fraud, phishing, social engineering, and other dishonest proceedings. There have been instances where banks have been victims of fraudulent activity in which criminals pose as customers to initiate wire and automated clearinghouse transactions out of customer accounts. Although we have policies and procedures in place to verify the authenticity of our customers, we cannot assure that such policies and procedures will prevent all fraudulent transfers.

Current report

As we continue to grow in size and complexity, regulatory expectations and scrutiny will likely increase and could have a potential impact on our operations and business— We have organically grown steadily over the past four years. As financial institutions grow, so do the expectations of regulatory agencies regarding the financial institution’s ability to control for increasingly complex and sophisticated business operations. Certain regulations and laws have embedded asset thresholds that change regulatory expectations, have different financial statement impacts, require different committee and management compositions, or enhanced reporting requirements. For example, the Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act limits the amount of interchange fees that banks with assets of $10.0 billion or more may charge to process electronic debit transactions. Banks must comply with the Durbin Amendment no later than July 1 of the next calendar year after the bank crosses the $10.0 billion asset threshold. While we do not currently have $10.0 billion or more in total consolidated assets, we have begun analyzing these requirements to ensure we are prepared to comply with the rules when and if they become applicable. There is potential that changes in the regulatory expectations from asset growth could impact the business operationally, strategically, or financially.

Previous wording

Continued elevated levels of inflation could adversely impact our business and results of operations— The U.S. has recently experienced elevated levels of inflation, with the consumer price index climbing approximately 7% in 2022 and increased at a more moderate rate in 2023. Continued elevated levels of inflation could have complex effects on our business and results of operations, some of which could be materially adverse. The Federal Reserve increased interest rates dramatically during 2022 and 2023 in an effort to halt and reverse continued elevated inflation, which has negatively impacted the value of our available-for-sale investment securities portfolio. In addition, inflation-related increases in our interest expense is due to increased rates paid on deposits. Elevated levels of inflation has also caused increased volatility and uncertainty in the business environment, which could adversely affect loan demand and our clients’ ability to repay indebtedness. Governmental responses to the current inflationary environment, such as severe changes to monetary and fiscal policy, or the imposition or threatened imposition of price controls, could adversely affect our business. The duration and severity of the current inflationary period and the resulting impact on us cannot be predicted with precision.

Current wording

Elevated levels of inflation, or the aggregate effects of previous periods of elevated inflation, can have complex effects on our business and results of operations, some of which could be materially adverse. Governmental responses to elevated levels of inflation, or the aggregate effects of previous inflationary periods, such as severe monetary and fiscal policy, can result in increased market interest rates or volatility in interest rate levels. The duration and severity of a prolonged inflationary period and the resulting impact on us cannot be predicted with precision.

Previous wording

We are dependent upon the services of our management team — Our future success and profitability is substantially dependent upon our management and the banking acumen of our senior executives. We believe that our future results will also depend in part upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled and qualified management. We are especially dependent on a limited number of key management personnel, many of whom do not have employment agreements with us. The loss of the chief executive officer and other senior management and key personnel could have a material adverse impact on our operations because other officers may not have the experience and expertise to readily replace these individuals. Many of these senior officers have primary contact with our clients and are important in maintaining personal relationships with our client base. The unexpected loss of services of one or more of these key employees could have a material adverse effect on our operations and possibly result in reduced revenues if we were unable to find suitable replacements promptly. Competition for senior personnel is intense, and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel. Changes in key personnel and their responsibilities may be disruptive to our businesses and could have a material adverse effect on our businesses, financial condition, and results of operations.
