Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Note 15 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist entirely of interest rate swap agreements between the Company and its customers and other third party counterparties. The Company enters into “back-to-back swap” arrangements whereby the Company executes interest rate swap agreements with its customers and acquires an offsetting swap position from a third party counterparty. These derivative financial statements are accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their location on the Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision stating if the Company either defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. In addition, these agreements may also require the Company to post additional collateral should it fail to maintain its status as a well- or adequately- capitalized institution.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of derivatives in a net asset position for counterparty transactions, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $8.6 million and $7.4 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had not posted any collateral with its counterparties related to these agreements and is adequately collateralized since its net asset position was $110,000 ($8.6 million of fair value of assets less $8.5 million of fair value of liabilities) as of September 30, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had not posted collateral related to these agreements and was adequately collateralized since its net asset position was $132,000 ($7.5 million of fair value of assets less $7.4 million of fair value of liabilities).
