Current report
Hawaii’s economy as a whole experienced mixed economic conditions during the year ended December 31, 2025. Although the economy remains resilient and maintains a lower unemployment rate than the country as a whole, the State continues to endure high consumer prices and housing affordability challenges, which are expected to continue with the gradual pass-through of tariffs, as well as a steady out-migration of its population. According to the State of Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism, the statewide seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 2.2% at December 31, 2025, lower than the national seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 4.4%.
Current report
Net income was $276.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $46.1 million or 20% as compared to 2024. Basic earnings per share was $2.21 for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $0.41 or 23% as compared to 2024. Diluted earnings per share was $2.20 for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $0.41 or 23% as compared to 2024. The increase in net income was primarily due to a $41.0 million increase in net interest income, a $31.2 million increase in noninterest income and a $1.8 million decrease in noninterest expense. This was partially offset by a $15.5 million increase in the provision for income taxes and a $12.5 million increase in the provision for credit losses (the “Provision”).
Current report
During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, we realigned our internal organizational and management reporting structure. As a result of this change, we reduced our reportable operating segments from three to two. Our reportable segments are now Retail Banking and Commercial Banking. Activities previously reported within the Treasury and Other segment are now included in Corporate/Other, as Treasury exists to support our operating segments. The change in reportable segments reflects how our chief operating decision maker currently evaluates performance and allocates resources. In addition, during the third quarter of 2025, we made changes to the internal measurement of segment operating profits for the purpose of evaluating segment performance and resource allocation. The primary reason for the change was to align loan and deposit balances within the business segment that directly manages them. Specifically, certain loan and deposit balances previously included as part of the Retail Banking and Commercial Banking segments were reclassified among the segments and what is now Corporate/Other. The reallocation of select loan and deposit balances affected net interest income, net interest income after provision for credit losses, provision for income taxes, net income and segment earning assets. We have reported our selected financial information using the new loan and deposit balance alignments and using two reportable operating segments for the year ended December 31, 2025. Prior-period segment information has been recast to conform to the current presentation.
Current report
Net income for the Retail Banking segment was $250.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $22.7 million or 10% as compared to 2024. The increase in net income for the Retail Banking segment was primarily due to a $24.8 million increase in net interest income, a $5.6 million increase in noninterest income and a $4.3 million decrease in noninterest expense, partially offset by a $9.0 million increase in the provision for income taxes and a $3.1 million increase in the Provision. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to higher deposit spreads and loan spreads. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to an increase in other service charges and fees, partially offset by a decrease in trust and investment services income. The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily due decreases in regulatory assessments and fees and operational losses and other charge-offs. The increase in the provision for income taxes was primarily due to the increase in pretax income, partially offset by the allocation of the remeasurement of the California deferred tax assets. The increase in the Provision allocated to the Retail Banking segment was primarily due to increases in the provision for home equity lines, commercial and industrial loans, construction loans, commercial real estate loans and lease financing. The increase in total earning assets for the Retail Banking segment was primarily due to increases in our commercial loan and consumer loan portfolios, partially offset by a decrease in our residential real estate loan portfolio.
Current report
Net income for the Commercial Banking segment was $130.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of $13.0 million or 9% as compared to 2024. The decrease in net income for the Commercial Banking segment was primarily due to a $23.0 million decrease in net interest income, a $3.8 million increase in the Provision and a $1.1 million decrease in noninterest income, partially offset by a $10.6 million decrease in noninterest expense and a $4.4 million decrease in the provision for income taxes. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to lower loan and lease spreads and deposits spreads, partially offset by higher average deposit balances. The increase in the Provision allocated to the Commercial Banking segment was primarily due to increases in the provision for home equity lines, commercial and industrial loans, construction loans, commercial real estate loans and lease financing. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to a decrease in credit and debit card fees and an excise tax refund and insurance proceeds received in 2024, partially offset by increases in customer-related interest rate swap fees, volume-based incentives and service charges on deposit accounts. The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily due to higher overall credits that were allocated to the Commercial Banking segment and a decrease in regulatory assessment and fees. The decrease in the provision for income taxes was primarily due to the decrease in pretax income, in addition to the allocation of the remeasurement of the California deferred tax assets. The decrease in total earning assets for the Commercial Banking segment was primarily due to a decrease in our commercial loan portfolio.
Current report
We perform an internal loan review and grading or scoring procedures on an ongoing basis. The review provides management with periodic information as to the quality of the loan portfolio and effectiveness of our lending policies and procedures. The objective of the loan review and grading or scoring procedures is to identify, in a timely manner, existing or emerging credit quality issues so that appropriate steps can be initiated to avoid or minimize future losses. See “Note 5. Allowance for Credit Losses” in the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for more information about our credit quality indicators.
Current report
As of December 31, 2025, commercial and industrial non-accrual loans were $8.8 million, an increase of $8.5 million from December 31, 2024. This increase was due to additions in commercial and industrial loans of $13.2 million, partially offset by payments of $4.3 million and charge-offs of $0.4 million.
Current report
As of December 31, 2025, commercial real estate non-accrual loans were $3.0 million, an increase of $2.6 million from December 31, 2024. This increase was due to additions in commercial real estate loans of $3.0 million, partially offset by payments of $0.4 million.
Current report
As of December 31, 2025, construction non-accrual loans were $1.8 million, an increase of $1.8 million or 100% from December 31, 2024. This increase was due to additions in construction loans of $2.2 million, partially offset by payments of $0.4 million.

Hawaii’s economy remains relatively resilient in the wake of high consumer prices and the August 2023 wildfires that continue to affect the island of Maui. According to the State of Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism, the statewide seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 3.0% at December 31, 2024 compared to 2.9% at December 31, 2023. Nationally, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 4.1% at December 31, 2024 compared to 3.7% at December 31, 2023.

Effect of Recent Natural Disasters
Previous report
In early August of 2023, wildfires swept across several areas of Maui, impacting residents in upcountry Maui and devastating the historic town of Lahaina. The outstanding balance of real estate-secured loans in the Maui fire zones totaled approximately $96.8 million as of December 31, 2024. We are working closely with our resident and business borrowers to navigate the post-disaster period and are continuing to closely monitor the impact that the wildfires has had on our customers.

Other Economic Developments
Previous report
Economic conditions and therefore our results of operations may be impacted by a variety of other factors as well, such as other natural disasters, an economic slowdown or recession, financial market volatility, supply chain disruptions, monetary and fiscal policy measures, heightened geopolitical tensions, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, the political and regulatory environment, changes to the U.S. Federal budget and potential changes in tax laws.

These and other key factors could impact our profitability in future reporting periods. See Item 1A. Risk Factors, beginning in the section captioned “Summary of Risk Factors.”
Previous report
Net income was $235.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of $30.7 million or 12% as compared to 2022. Basic and diluted earnings per share were both $1.84 for the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of $0.24 or 12% as compared to 2022. The decrease in net income was primarily due to a $60.7 million increase in noninterest expense and a $25.2 million increase in the Provision. This was partially offset by a $22.6 million increase in net interest income, a $21.3 million increase in noninterest income and an $11.3 million decrease in the provision for income taxes.
Previous report
Net income for the Retail Banking segment was $183.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $3.4 million or 2% as compared to 2022. The increase in net income for the Retail Banking segment was primarily due to a $21.9 million increase in net interest income and a $3.6 million increase in noninterest income. This was partially offset by an $11.2 million increase in noninterest expense and a Provision of $9.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to a negative Provision of $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to higher deposit spreads, partially offset by lower loan spreads. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to increases in trust and investment services income, net mortgage servicing rights income and service charges on deposit accounts. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits expense, regulatory assessments and fees, occupancy expense and costs related to natural disaster events, partially offset by lower overall expenses that were allocated to the Retail Banking segment. The increase in the Provision was primarily due to an increase in our provision for credit losses for loans and leases allocated to the Retail Banking segment. The increase in total earning assets for the Retail Banking segment was primarily due to increases in our residential real estate and commercial real estate loan portfolios.
Previous report
Net income for the Commercial Banking segment was $95.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of $0.6 million or 1% as compared to 2022. The decrease in net income for the Commercial Banking segment was primarily due to a Provision of $15.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to a negative Provision of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, in addition to a $2.9 million increase in noninterest expense and a $2.2 million decrease in noninterest income. This was partially offset by an $18.4 million increase in net interest income and a $2.2 million decrease in the provision for income taxes. The increase in the Provision was primarily due to an increase in our provision for credit losses for loans and leases allocated to the Commercial Banking segment. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to an increase in regulatory assessment and fees, a one-time settlement expense in connection to a lawsuit against the Company mentioned previously, and increases in salaries and benefits expense and card rewards program expense, partially offset by lower overall expenses that were allocated to the Commercial Banking segment. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to a decrease in credit and debit card fees. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to higher loan average balances and spreads, partially offset by a decrease in loan fees. The decrease in the provision for income taxes was primarily due to the decrease in pretax income. The increase in total earning assets for the Commercial Banking segment was primarily due to increases in our commercial loan and lease financing portfolios, partially offset by a decrease in our consumer loan portfolio.
Previous report
Treasury and Other. Our Treasury and Other segment includes our treasury business, which consists of corporate asset and liability management activities, including interest rate risk management. The assets and liabilities (and related interest income and expense) of our treasury business consist of interest-bearing deposits, investment securities, federal funds sold and purchased, government deposits, short and long-term borrowings and bank-owned properties. Our primary sources of noninterest income are from BOLI, net gains from the sale of investment securities, foreign exchange income related to customer driven cross-border wires for business and personal reasons and management of bank-owned properties in Hawaii and Guam. The net residual effect of the transfer pricing of assets and liabilities is included in Treasury and Other, along with the elimination of intercompany transactions.
Previous report
Other organizational units (Technology, Operations, Credit and Risk Management, Human Resources, Finance, Administration, Marketing, and Corporate and Regulatory Administration) provide a wide range of support to our other income earning segments. Expenses incurred by these support units are charged to the applicable business segments through an internal cost allocation process.
Previous report
Net loss for the Treasury and Other segment was $140.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to net loss of $43.3 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in net loss was primarily due to a $72.2 million increase in net interest expense, a $31.5 million increase in noninterest expense and a $27.5 million decrease in noninterest income. This was partially offset by a $29.2 million increase in the benefit for income taxes and a negative Provision of $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to a Provision of $1.8 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in net interest expense was primarily due to an increase in net transfer pricing charges that reside in the Treasury and Other segment and a decrease in interest income from investment securities, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense from public deposits, higher interest income on our interest-bearing deposits in other banks and lower borrowing costs. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to lower overall credits that were allocated to the Treasury and Other segment and increases in equipment expense, salaries and employee benefits expense, expense due to adjustments to certain liabilities assumed as a result of the Reorganization Transactions and operational losses and other charge-offs. This was partially offset by decreases in contracted services and professional fees and regulatory assessment and fees and charitable contributions. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to net losses on the sale of investment securities in 2024, gain on the sale of a bank property in 2023 and a decrease in credit and debit card fees. This was partially offset by insurance proceeds received in 2024, an increase in BOLI income and a decrease in net losses recognized in income related to derivative contracts. The increase in the benefit for income taxes was primarily due to the increase in pretax loss in addition to adjustments to certain liabilities assumed as a result of the Reorganization Transactions. The decrease in the Provision was primarily due to the decrease in our provision for unfunded commitments. The decrease in total earning assets for the Treasury and Other segment was primarily due to decreases in our interest-bearing deposits in other banks and our investment securities portfolio.
Previous report
Net loss for the Treasury and Other segment was $43.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase in net loss of $33.6 million as compared to 2022. The increase in net loss was primarily due to a $46.6 million increase in noninterest expense and a $17.8 million decrease in net interest income, partially offset by a $19.9 million increase in noninterest income, a $9.1 million increase in the benefit for income taxes and a $1.7 million decrease in the Provision. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to lower overall credits that were allocated to the Treasury and Other segment and increases in equipment expense, salaries and employee benefits expense and regulatory assessment and fees. This was partially offset by decreases in contracted services and professional fees and occupancy expense. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in interest expense from public deposits and higher borrowing costs, partially offset by an increase in net transfer pricing credits that reside in the Treasury and Other segment and higher yields on our interest-bearing deposits in other banks. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to increases in BOLI income, a gain on the sale of a bank property in 2023 mentioned previously, market adjustments on mutual funds purchased, income due to adjustments to certain liabilities assumed as a result of the Reorganization Transactions and net gains on the sale of investment securities, partially offset by an increase in net losses recognized in income related to derivative contracts.

The increase in total earning assets for the Treasury and Other segment was primarily due to an increase in our interest-bearing deposits in other banks, partially offset by a decrease in our investment securities portfolio.
Previous report
We evaluate certain loans and leases, including commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate loans and construction loans, individually for impairment and non-accrual status. A loan is considered to be impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. We generally place a loan on non-accrual status when management believes that collection of principal or interest has become doubtful or when a loan or lease becomes 90 days past due as to principal or interest, unless it is well secured and in the process of collection. Loans on non-accrual status are generally classified as impaired, but not all impaired loans are necessarily placed on non-accrual status. See “Note 5. Allowance for Credit Losses” in the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for more information about our credit quality indicators.

Pension and Postretirement Benefit Obligations
Previous report
We use the following key variables to calculate annual pension costs: (1) size of the employee population, length of service and estimated compensation increases; (2) actuarial assumptions and estimates; (3) expected long-term rate of return on plan assets; and (4) discount rate. Pension cost is directly affected by the number of employees eligible for pension benefits and their estimated compensation increases. To calculate estimated compensation increases, management reviews our salary increases each year and compares this data with industry information. For all pension and postretirement plan calculations, we use a measurement date of December 31.
Previous report
The expected long-term rate of return was based on a calculated rate of return from average rates of return on various asset classes over a 20-year historical time horizon. Using long-term historical data allows the Company to capture multiple economic environments, which management believes is relevant when using historical returns. Net actuarial gains or losses that exceed a 5% corridor of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the fair value of plan assets as of the beginning of the year are amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic pension cost on a straight-line basis over five years.
Previous report
In estimating the projected benefit obligation, an independent actuary bases assumptions on factors such as mortality rate, turnover rate, retirement rate, disability rate and other assumptions related to the population of individuals in the pension plan. If significant actuarial gains or losses occur, the actuary reviews the demographic and economic assumptions with management, at which time the Company considers revising these assumptions based on actual results.
Previous report
Our determination of the pension and postretirement benefit plan obligations and net periodic benefit cost is a critical accounting estimate as it requires the use of estimates and judgment related to the amount and timing of expected future cash outflows for benefit payments and cash inflows for maturities and return on plan assets. Changes in estimates and assumptions related to mortality rates and future health care costs could also have a material impact to our financial condition or results of operations. The discount rate assumption is used to determine the present value of future benefit obligations and the net periodic benefit cost. The discount rate assumption used to value the present value of future benefit obligations as of each year end is the rate used to determine the net periodic benefit cost for the following year.
Previous report
The projected benefit obligation for pension benefits was $142.2 million as of December 31, 2024, which represented a decrease of $11.4 million, compared to the projected benefit obligation for pension benefits of $153.6 million as of December 31, 2023. The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for other benefits was $16.8 million as of both December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Previous report
To illustrate a hypothetical sensitivity analysis, if the discount rate assumption decreased by 100 basis points, the projected benefit obligation for pension benefits and accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for other benefits at December 31, 2024 would increase by approximately $10.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

See “Note 14. Benefit Plans” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for more information on pension and postretirement benefit plan obligations.

Income Taxes
Previous report
In estimating income taxes payable or receivable, we assess the relative merits and risks of the appropriate tax treatment considering statutory, judicial and regulatory guidance in the context of each tax position. Accordingly, previously estimated liabilities are regularly reevaluated and adjusted through the provision for income taxes. Changes in the estimate of income taxes payable or receivable occur periodically due to changes in tax rates, interpretations of tax law, the status of examinations being conducted by various taxing authorities, the expiration of statutes of limitations and newly enacted statutory, judicial and regulatory guidance that impact the relative merits and risks of each tax position. These changes, when they occur, may affect the provision for income taxes as well as current and deferred income taxes, and may be significant to our consolidated statements of income and balance sheets.
Previous report
Management's determination of the realization of net deferred tax assets is based upon management's judgment of various future events and uncertainties, including the timing and amount of future income, as well as the implementation of various tax planning strategies to maximize realization of the deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Previous report
We are also required to record a liability for UTBs for the entire amount of a tax benefit taken in a prior or future income tax return when we determine that a tax position has a less than 50% likelihood of being accepted by the taxing authority. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, our liabilities for UTBs were $206.4 million and $212.0 million, respectively. See “Note 15. Income Taxes” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for more information on income taxes.
Previous report
In addition, our business relied upon a large volume of loans, derivative contracts and other financial instruments with attributes that are either directly or indirectly dependent on LIBOR to establish their interest rate and/or value. According to the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings have ceased to be provided or ceased to be representative after June 30, 2023. The publication of all other LIBOR settings ceased to be provided or ceased to be representative as of December 31, 2021. We transitioned our financial instruments associated to LIBOR currencies and tenors that ceased or became nonrepresentative on December 31, 2021, to alternative reference rates (collectively, “Alternative Rates”), with limited exceptions. As such, effective December 31, 2021, we have ceased the use of U.S Dollar LIBOR as a reference rate on all new contracts and continue to increase the usage of Alternative Rates such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). A working group of key stakeholders from throughout the Company spearheaded the transition from LIBOR to Alternative Rates. There are risks inherent with the transition to any Alternative Rate as the rate may behave differently than LIBOR in reaction to monetary, market and economic events. The working group disbanded after the conclusion of the transition in December 2023.
Previous report
Our LIBOR transition plan included work to ensure that our technology systems were prepared for the transition, our loan documents that reference LIBOR-based rates were appropriately amended to reference other methods of interest rate determinations and internal and external stakeholders were apprised of the transition. We have implemented certain Prime Rate and SOFR conventions as we transitioned our products and transaction agreements to reference rates other than LIBOR. Commercial loans, investment securities, and residential mortgages have transitioned to SOFR rates. To see the recorded investment in our loan and lease portfolio by rate type, refer to Table 12 in the section titled “Loans and Leases” in this MD&A.

Net interest income, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, was $641.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $23.3 million or 4% as compared to 2022. Our net interest margin was 2.92% for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of 14 basis points as compared to 2022. The increase in net interest income, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, was driven by the rising interest rate environment and was primarily due to higher yields and average balances in our loan and lease portfolio and higher yields on our interest-bearing deposits in other banks. This was partially offset by higher deposit funding cost and higher borrowing costs. Yields on our loans and leases were 5.26% for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of 142 basis points as compared to 2022. We experienced an increase in our yields from total loans and leases primarily due to increases in yields from our adjustable-rate commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans and construction loans, which are largely based on the SOFR. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the average balance of our loan and lease portfolio was $14.3 billion, an increase of $951.5 million or 7% compared to the same period in 2022. The increase in the average balance of our loans and leases reflected increases in most loan categories. Yields on our interest-bearing deposits in other banks were 5.18% for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of 399 basis points compared to 2022.

These funds offer substantial resources to meet either new loan demand or to help offset reductions in our deposit funding base as they provide quick sources of liquidity by pledging to obtain secured borrowings and repurchase agreements or sales of our available-for-sale securities portfolio. Liquidity is further enhanced by our ability to pledge loans to access secured borrowings from the FHLB and the FRB. As of December 31, 2024, we have borrowing capacity of $2.8 billion from the FHLB and $3.0 billion from the FRB based on the amount of collateral pledged.

Our core deposits have historically provided us with a long-term source of stable and relatively lower cost of funding. Our core deposits, defined as all deposits exclusive of time deposits exceeding $250,000, totaled $19.0 billion and $19.5 billion as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, which represented 93% and 91%, respectively, of our total deposits as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These core deposits are normally less volatile, often with customer relationships tied to other products offered by the Company; however, deposit levels could decrease if interest rates increase significantly or if corporate customers increase investing activities, including alternative investment options, that reduce deposit balances.

Commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit do not necessarily represent future cash requirements in that these commitments often expire without being drawn upon; therefore, these items, which totaled $6.0 billion and $6.5 billion as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are not included in the table above. See the discussion of these credit and contractual commitments in “Note 17. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8.

Our liability for unrecognized tax benefits (“UTBs”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $206.4 million and $212.0 million, respectively. The decrease in UTBs was primarily due to reductions related to previously identified tax positions as a result of the expiration of statute of limitations and resolutions with tax authorities. We are unable to reasonably estimate the period of cash settlement with the respective taxing authority. As a result, our liability for UTBs is not disclosed in the table above.

We hold interests in several unconsolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”). These unconsolidated VIEs are primarily low-income housing tax credit investments in partnerships and limited liability companies. Variable interests are defined as contractual ownership or other interests in an entity that change with fluctuations in an entity’s net asset value. The primary beneficiary consolidates the VIE. Based on our analysis, we have determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary of these entities. As a result, we do not consolidate these VIEs. Unfunded commitments to fund these low-income housing tax credit investments were $98.7 million and $80.7 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

We sell residential mortgage loans in the secondary market primarily to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The agreements under which we sell residential mortgage loans to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac contain provisions that include various representations and warranties regarding the origination and characteristics of the residential mortgage loans. Although the specific representations and warranties vary among investors, insurance or guarantee agreements, they typically cover: ownership of the loan; validity of the lien securing the loan; the absence of delinquent taxes or liens against the property securing the loan; compliance with loan criteria set forth in the applicable agreement; compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws; and other matters. As of both December 31, 2024 and 2023, the unpaid principal balance of our portfolio of residential mortgage loans sold was $1.3 billion. The agreements under which we sell residential mortgage loans require delivery of various documents to the investor or its document custodian. Although these loans are primarily sold on a non-recourse basis, we may be obligated to repurchase residential mortgage loans or reimburse investors for losses incurred if a loan review reveals that underwriting and documentation standards were potentially not met in the origination of those loans. Upon receipt of a repurchase request, we work with investors to arrive at a mutually agreeable resolution. Repurchase demands are typically reviewed on an individual loan by loan basis to validate the claims made by the investor to determine if a contractually required repurchase event has occurred. We manage the risk associated with potential repurchases or other forms of settlement through our underwriting and quality assurance practices and by servicing mortgage loans to meet investor and secondary market standards. For the year ended December 31, 2024, there was one residential mortgage loan repurchase totaling $0.6 million and there were no pending repurchase requests.

The carrying value of our investment securities portfolio was $5.7 billion as of December 31, 2024, a decrease of $579.6 million or 9% compared to December 31, 2023. The lower balances in investment securities were driven by payments and maturities during the year ended December 31, 2024, which were used to fund loan growth and offset a decline in deposits and borrowings. Additionally, a restructuring of the available-for-sale investment portfolio was conducted in the fourth quarter of 2024, whereby sales and purchases were conducted to improve the return of the investment portfolio. Our available-for-sale investment securities are carried at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in other comprehensive income (loss) or through the Provision. Our held-to-maturity investment securities are carried at amortized cost.
