In addition, we had approximately $30.5 million in accruing loans that were 30 days or more delinquent at December 31, 2023. Our nonperforming assets adversely affect our net income in various ways. We generally do not record interest income on nonaccrual loans, thereby adversely affecting our income, and increasing our loan administration costs.

Nonperforming assets could result in an increase in our provision for credit losses on loans, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. At December 31, 2023, our nonaccrual loans totaled $65.1 million or 0.65% of the loan portfolio and our nonperforming assets (which includes nonaccrual loans) were $72.7 million or 0.50% of total assets.
At December 31, 2024, our nonaccrual loans totaled $92.4 million or 0.90% of the loan portfolio and our NPAs (which includes nonaccrual loans) were $98.9 million or 0.65% of total assets. In addition, we had approximately $15.6 million in accruing loans that were 30 days or more delinquent at December 31, 2024.
Removed
Credit Risk Lending goals may not be attainable. Future demand for additional lending is unclear and uncertain, and opportunities to make loans may be more limited and/or involve risks or terms that we likely would not find acceptable or in our shareholders’ best interest.
Added
The actions of the Federal Reserve influence the rates of interest that the Company charges on loans and that the Company pays on borrowings and interest-bearing deposits and can also affect the value of the Company's on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet financial instruments.
Removed
Interest rates increased significantly in 2022 and through the first half of 2023 as the FRB attempted to slow economic growth and counteract rising inflation. Further changes in interest rates and monetary policy reportedly are dependent upon the FRB’s assessment of economic data as it becomes available.
Added
Sustained higher interest rates increase the Company's cost of funding and may result in lower demand for loans by our customers.
Removed
The FRB may maintain higher interest rates to counteract persistent inflationary price pressures, which could push down asset prices and weaken economic activity.
Added
Business and Strategic Risks Our business strategy includes continued growth, and our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected if we fail to grow or fail to manage our growth effectively. We intend to continue to pursue a growth strategy for our business.
Removed
A deterioration in economic conditions in the United States and our markets could result in an increase in loan delinquencies and non-performing assets, decreases in loan collateral values and a decrease in demand for our products and services, all of which, in turn, would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Added
Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in pursuing such growth strategies.
Removed
In our ordinary course of business, we rely on electronic communications and information systems to conduct our businesses and to store sensitive data, including financial information regarding our customers.
Added
Our ability to continue to grow successfully will depend on a variety of factors, including economic conditions, continued availability of desirable business opportunities, customer demand for our products and services, the competitive responses from other financial and non-financial institution competitors, and our ability to successfully serve a growing number of client relationships.
Removed
The integrity of information systems of financial institutions is under significant threat from cyber-attacks by third parties, including through coordinated attacks sponsored by foreign nations and criminal organizations to disrupt business operations and other compromises to data and systems for political or criminal purposes.
Added
There can be no assurance growth opportunities will be available or growth will be successfully managed. Failure to manage our growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, and could adversely affect our ability to successfully implement our business strategy.
Removed
We employ an in-depth, layered, lines of defense approach that leverages people, processes and technology to manage and maintain cyber security and other information security controls. Regulatory and Litigation Risk We operate in a heavily regulated environment.
Added
We or our third-party (or fourth-party) vendors, clients or counterparties may develop or incorporate AI technology in certain business processes, services, or products. The development and use of AI presents a number of risks and challenges to our business.
Removed
Limits to debit card interchange fees took effect July 1, 2023, and reduced the Company's revenue.
Added
The legal and regulatory environment relating to AI is uncertain and rapidly evolving, both in the U.S. and internationally, and includes regulatory schemes targeted specifically at AI as well as provisions in intellectual property, privacy, consumer protection, employment, and other laws applicable to the use of AI.
Removed
In 2023, the FDIC imposed a special assessment to recover the costs to the DIF 24 resulting from the FDIC’s use, in March 2023, of the systemic risk exception to the least-cost resolution test under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act in connection with the receivership of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank.
Added
These evolving laws and regulations could require changes in our implementation of AI technology and increase our compliance costs and the risk of non-compliance.
Removed
The special assessment applied to insured depository institutions with $5 billion or more in estimated uninsured deposits at December 31, 2022. The Company’s uninsured deposits at December 31, 2022 were $3.5 billion , below the threshold for the special assessment.
Added
AI models, particularly generative AI models, may produce output or take action that is incorrect, that reflects biases included in the data on which they are trained, that results in the release of private, confidential, or proprietary information, that infringes on the intellectual property rights of others, or that is otherwise harmful.
Removed
Additionally, by having more than $10 billion in total assets at December 31, 2022, the method that the FDIC uses to determine the amount of our deposit insurance premium has changed.
Added
In addition, the complexity of many AI models makes it difficult to understand why they are generating particular outputs.
Added
This limited transparency increases the challenges associated with assessing the proper operation of AI models, understanding and monitoring the capabilities of the AI models, reducing erroneous output, eliminating bias, and complying with regulations that require documentation or explanation of the basis on which decisions are made.
Added
Further, we may rely on AI models developed by third parties, and, to that extent, would be dependent in part on the manner in which those third parties develop and train their models, including risks arising from the inclusion of any unauthorized material in the training data for their models and the effectiveness of the steps these third parties have taken to limit the risks associated with the output of their models, matters over which we may have limited visibility.
Added
Any of these risks could expose us to liability or adverse legal or regulatory consequences and harm our reputation and the public perception of our business or the effectiveness of our security measures. Regulatory and Litigation Risk We operate in a heavily regulated environment.
