Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES* – LOANS*
The allowance for credit losses on loans, a contra-asset, is established through periodic provisions for credit losses on loans. It is maintained at a level that is considered adequate to measure expected losses on individually identified loans, as well as expected losses inherent in the remaining loan portfolio. Specifically identifiable and quantifiable losses are immediately charged off against the allowance; recoveries are generally recorded only when sufficient cash payments are received subsequent to the charge-off.
The following tables highlight the coverage ratios by loan category at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025 (dollars in thousands, unaudited):

The allowance for credit losses on loans was $23.6 million, or 0.96% of gross loans, at June 30, 2026, compared to $21.5 million, or 0.84% of gross loans, at December 31, 2025. The Company's overall coverage ratio is influenced by the composition of its loan portfolio, which includes significant concentrations in mortgage warehouse and residential real estate loans that have historically experienced minimal credit losses and therefore require comparatively low reserve
allocations. At June 30, 2026, mortgage warehouse and residential real estate loans totaled $803.0 million, representing approximately 33% of total loans, while the related allowance was $1.8 million, or 0.23% of the outstanding balances. As a result, these portfolios reduce the Company's overall allowance coverage ratio. Excluding mortgage warehouse and residential real estate loans, the allowance for credit losses totaled $21.8 million and represented 1.32% of the remaining loan portfolio, compared to 1.16% at December 31, 2025. The Company's commercial real estate portfolio, which represents its largest loan segment, maintained a reserve coverage ratio of 1.15% at June 30, 2026. The increase in the allowance during the first six months of 2026 was driven primarily by higher reserve levels within the other commercial loan portfolio, including increased specific reserves related to individually evaluated credits and changes in management's assessment of credit risk.
