Average loans increased from $3.29 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $3.74 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, with the growth well diversified in real estate loans and commercial loans.

Previous report
Prior to the adoption of ASC 326, we maintained an allowance for credit losses that represented management’s best estimate of the loan losses and risks inherent in our loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance for credit losses was not an indicator that charge-offs in future periods would necessarily occur in those amounts. In determining the allowance for credit losses, we estimated losses on specific loans, or groups of loans, where the probable loss could be identified and reasonably determined. The balance of the allowance for credit losses was based on internally assigned risk classifications of loans, historical loan loss rates, changes in the nature and volume of our loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, industry or borrower concentrations, delinquency trends, current economic factors and the estimated impact of current economic conditions on certain historical loan loss rates, among other factors.

Included in nonperforming assets, nonperforming loans were $24.0 million and $17.3 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Three of the commercial and industrial loans totaling $1.7 million have a 75% SBA guaranty and are paying as agreed. The loan value on the real estate supporting the four commercial real estate loans is 69% and management does not anticipate a loss on this relationship. The increase in nonperforming assets and nonperforming loans was partially offset by nonaccrual loan charge-offs of $1.9 million and paydowns on nonaccrual loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

In accordance with ASC 326 which the Company adopted January 1, 2023, the allowance for credit losses on loans is estimated and recognized upon origination of the loan based on current expected credit losses. The amount of the allowance for credit losses represents management's best estimate of current expected credit losses on the Company's loans considering available information, from internal and external sources, relevant to assessing the exposure to credit loss over the contractual term of the loan. Relevant available information includes historical credit loss experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. While historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses, adjustments to historical loss information may be made for differences in current portfolio-specific risk characteristics, environmental conditions or other relevant factors. While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of our allowance for credit losses is dependent upon a variety of factors beyond our control, including the performance of our loan portfolios, the economy, changes in interest rates and the view of the regulatory authorities toward classification of assets. On January 1, 2023, we recorded an increase of $4.0 million to the allowance for credit losses for the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 326 for our loan portfolio. For additional information on adoption of ASC 326, see “—Critical Accounting Policies—Allowance for Credit Losses” below and Note 1 – Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 3 – Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
