The Company did not transfer any investment securities that were classified as AFS to HTM during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded amortization of unrecognized losses on investment securities transferred from AFS to HTM totaling $1.8 million and $5.1 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $1.9 million and $5.4 million, respectively, in amortization of unrecognized losses related to such transfers.

The Company elected to not estimate credit losses on accrued interest receivable, as any uncollectible accrued interest receivable is written off in a timely manner. Accrued interest receivable on investment securities is reported together with accrued interest receivable on loans and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, accrued interest receivable on investment securities totaled $5.0 million and $4.8 million, respectively.

The amortized cost, estimated fair value and weighted average yield of the Company's AFS and HTM investment securities as of September 30, 2025, are presented below, grouped by contractual maturity. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities due to the issuer's option to call or prepay obligations, with or without penalties. Securities that are not due at a single maturity date, such as mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed investments, are presented separately.

Investment securities in an unrealized or unrecognized loss position are evaluated at least quarterly to determine whether a credit loss exists. This evaluation includes a review of changes in the investment securities' credit ratings issued by major rating agencies and assessments of the issuers' financial condition. For mortgage-related securities, the Company also considers delinquency and loss data related to the underlying collateral, changes in subordination levels for the Company's position within the repayment structure, and remaining credit enhancement relative to projected credit losses.

The Company has reviewed its AFS and HTM investment securities that are in an unrealized or unrecognized loss position and determined that the losses are not related to credit quality, but are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and volatility

in the financial markets since the time of purchase. All of the investment securities in a loss position continue to be rated investment grade by one or more major rating agencies.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company does not intend to sell the AFS and HTM securities in a loss position and it is unlikely to be required to sell these securities before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may occur at maturity. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded an ACL on these securities.
