Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s dividend paying ability and financial statements.
Changes in these economic forecasts could significantly affect the estimated expected credit losses and lead to materially different amounts from one period to the next.
Excluding $3.9 million of acquisition-related provision for credit losses in 2022 from the Elmira acquisition, the current year provision for credit losses increased $0.3 million from the prior year, due to the same factors that drove the increase in the allowance for credit losses noted above.
In addition to these risk characteristics, the Company considers the portion of acquired loans to the overall segment balance, the change in the volume and terms of originations, differences between the losses incurred in the period used for quantitative modeling and a longer timeframe that includes the Great Recession of 2008 (the “Great Recession”), as well as recent delinquency, charge-off and risk rating trends compared to historical time periods.
The resulting difference is not intended to represent an expected increase in allowance levels, as future conditions are uncertain and there are several other quantitative and qualitative factors that will also fluctuate at the same time that economic conditions are changing, which would affect the results of the ACL calculation.
