Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

SouthState is a financial holding company headquartered in Winter Haven, Florida, and was incorporated under the laws of South Carolina in 1985. We provide a wide range of banking services and products to our customers through our Bank with locations located throughout our six (6) state footprint in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. In addition, the Company operates a correspondent banking and capital markets division within the national bank subsidiary, of which the majority of its bond salesmen, traders and operational personnel are housed in facilities located in Atlanta, Georgia, Memphis, Tennessee, Walnut Creek, California, and Birmingham, Alabama. The Bank operates SouthState|Duncan-Williams Securities Corp. (“SouthState|Duncan-Williams”), a registered broker-dealer headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee that serves primarily institutional clients across the U.S. in the fixed income business. The Bank also operates SouthState Advisory, Inc., a wholly-owned registered investment advisor. The Bank, through its Corporate Billing Division, provides factoring, invoicing, collection and accounts receivable management services to transportation companies and automotive parts and service providers nationwide. During 2023, the Bank formed SSB First Street Corporation, an investment subsidiary headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, to hold tax-exempt municipal investment securities as part of the Bank’s investment portfolio.

The holding company also owns SSB Insurance Corp., a captive insurance subsidiary pursuant to Section 831(b) of the U.S. Tax Code.

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its consolidated subsidiary conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). There are 13 unconsolidated subsidiaries of the Company that were established for the purpose of issuing in the aggregate $118.6 million of trust preferred securities at December 31, 2024. See Note 10—Other Borrowings for further detailed descriptions of our trust preferred securities.

Unless otherwise mentioned or unless the context requires otherwise, references herein to “SouthState,” the “Company” “we,” “us,” “our” or similar references mean SouthState Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. References to the “Bank” means SouthState Bank, National Association.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and other entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Assets held by the Company in trust are not assets of the Company and are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Reportable Segment

The Company, through the Bank, provides a broad range of financial services to individuals and companies primarily in South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Georgia and Virginia. These services include, but not limited to, demand, time and savings deposits; lending and credit card servicing; ATM processing; mortgage banking services; correspondent banking services and wealth management and trust services. The Company’s operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on an organization wide basis. Accordingly, the Company’s banking and finance operations are not considered by management to constitute more than one reportable operating segment.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses for loans and investment securities held to maturity, fair value of financial instruments, fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations, evaluating impairment of investment securities, goodwill and other intangible impairment tests and valuation of deferred tax assets.

In connection with the determination of the allowance for credit losses, management has identified specific loans as well as adopted a policy of providing amounts for loan valuation purposes which are not identified with any specific loan but are derived from models based on macroeconomic factors and forecasts. Management believes that the allowance for credit losses is appropriate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions or reductions to the allowance for credit losses may be necessary based on changes in economic forecasts. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of the examination process, periodically review the banking subsidiary’s allowance for credit losses. Such agencies may require additions to the allowance for credit losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Bank provides agribusiness, commercial, and residential and other consumer loans to customers primarily throughout South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Virginia and Georgia. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of our borrowers’ abilities to honor their contracts is dependent upon economic conditions within South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Virginia, Georgia and the surrounding regions.

The Company considers concentrations of credit to exist when, pursuant to regulatory guidelines, the amounts loaned to a multiple number of borrowers engaged in similar business activities which would cause them to be similarly impacted by general economic conditions represents 25% of total Tier 1 capital plus regulatory adjusted allowance for credit losses of the Company, or $1.2 billion at December 31, 2024. Based on this criteria, we had seven such credit concentrations at December 31, 2024, including loans secured by 1st mortgage 1-4 family owner occupied residential property (including condos and home equity lines) of $9.5 billion, loans to lessors of nonresidential buildings (except mini warehouses) of $5.5 billion, loans secured by business assets including accounts receivable, inventory and equipment of $3.0 billion, loans to lessors of residential buildings (investment properties and multi-family) of $2.9 billion, loans secured by jumbo (original loans greater than $766,550) 1st mortgage 1-4 family owner occupied residential property of $2.7 billion, loans secured by owner occupied office buildings (including medical office buildings) of $2.0 billion, and loans secured by owner occupied nonresidential buildings (excluding office buildings) of $1.9 billion. The risk for these loans and for all loans is managed collectively through the use of credit underwriting practices developed and updated over time. The loss estimate for these loans is determined using our standard ACL methodology.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents, for the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statements of cash flows, include the following items disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Balance Sheet; Cash and Due from Banks, Federal funds sold and Interest-earnings Deposits with Banks and Deposits in Other Financial Institutions (Restricted Cash). The restricted cash is used as collateral on the counterparty for the interest rate swap contracts with loan customers of respondent bank customers of the Correspondent Banking Division. Due from bank balances are maintained at other financial institutions. Federal funds sold are generally purchased and sold for one-day periods, but may, from time to time, have longer terms.

The Company enters from time to time into purchases of securities under agreements to resell substantially identical securities. When the Company enters into such repurchase agreements, the securities purchased under agreements to resell generally consist of U.S. government sponsored entities and agency mortgage backed securities. The Company may elect to use other asset classes at its discretion. It is the Company’s practice to take possession of securities purchased under agreements to resell. The securities are delivered into the Company’s account maintained by a third party custodian designated by the Company under a written custodial agreement that explicitly recognizes the Company’s interest in the securities. The Company monitors the market value of the underlying securities, including accrued interest, which collateralizes the related receivable on agreements to resell. These agreements were considered to be cash equivalents with maturities within less than one year. The Company held no securities under agreements to resell at December 31, 2024.

Trading Securities

Through its Correspondent Banking Department and the Bank’s wholly owned broker dealer SouthState|Duncan-Williams, the Company purchases trading securities and subsequently sells them to their customers to take advantage of market opportunities, when presented, for short-term revenue gains. Securities purchased for this portfolio are primarily municipals, treasuries, mortgage-backed agency, and SBA securities and are held for short periods of time. This portfolio is carried at fair value and realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in trading securities revenue, a component of Correspondent Banking and Capital Market Income in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Investment Securities

Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held to maturity” and carried at amortized cost. Securities not classified as held to maturity, including equity securities with readily determinable fair values, are classified as “available for sale” and carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in Other Comprehensive Income.

Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using methods approximating the interest method over the terms of the securities. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities available for sale are determined using the specific identification method.

In accordance with as ASC Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Available for sale Debt Securities, Management evaluates securities for impairment where there has been a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis of a security to determine whether there is a credit loss associated with the decline in fair value on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. For securities designated as held for sale, credit losses are calculated individually, rather than collectively, using a discounted cash flow method, whereby management compares the present value of expected cash flows with the amortized cost basis of the security. The credit loss component would be recognized through the provision for credit losses. Consideration is given to (1) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer including looking at default and delinquency rates, (2) the outlook for receiving the contractual cash flows of the investments, (3) the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (4) our intent to hold the security as well as there being no requirement to sell the security, (5) the anticipated outlook for changes in the general level of interest rates, (6) credit ratings, (7) third-party guarantees, and (8) collateral values. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition, and the issuer’s anticipated ability to pay the contractual cash flows of the investments. The Company performed an analysis that determined that the following securities have a zero expected credit loss: U.S. Treasury Securities, Agency-Backed Securities including securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, FHLB, FFCB and SBA. All of the U.S. Treasury and Agency-Backed Securities have the full faith and credit backing of the United States Government or one of its agencies. Municipal securities and all other securities that do not have a zero expected credit loss are evaluated quarterly to determine whether there is a credit loss associated with a decline in fair value. All debt securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2024 continue to perform as scheduled and we do not believe there is a credit loss or a provision for credit losses is necessary. Also, as part of our evaluation of our intent and ability to hold investments, we consider our investment strategy, cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy and interest rate risk position. We do not currently intend to sell the securities within the portfolio and it is not more-likely-than-not that we will be required to sell the debt securities.

Other investments include stock acquired for regulatory purposes, investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and other nonmarketable investment securities. Stock acquired for regulatory purposes include Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) stock and Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) stock. These securities do not have a readily determinable fair value because their ownership is restricted and they lack a market for trading. As a result, these securities are carried at cost and are periodically evaluated for impairment. Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries represent a minority investment in SCBT Capital Trust I, SCBT Capital Trust II, SCBT Capital Trust III, TSB Statutory Trust I, SAVB Capital Trust I, SAVB Capital Trust II, Southeastern Bank Financial Statutory Trust I, Southeastern Bank Financial Statutory Trust II, Provident Community Bancshares Capital Trust I, FCRV Statutory Trust I, Community Capital Statutory Trust I, CSBC Statutory Trust I, and Provident Community Bancshares Capital Trust II. These investments are recorded at cost and the Company receives quarterly dividend payments on these investments. Other nonmarketable investment securities consist of Business Development Corporation stock and stock in Banker’s Banks. These investments also do not have a readily determinable fair value because their ownership is restricted and they lack a market for trading. As a result, these securities are carried at cost and are periodically evaluated for impairment.

Loans Held for Sale

The Company sells residential mortgages to government sponsored entities (“GSEs”) and third-party investors, who may issue securities backed by pools of such loans. The Company retains no beneficial interests in these sales, but may retain the servicing rights for the loans sold. The Company is obligated to subsequently repurchase a loan if the purchaser discovers a representation or warranty violation such as noncompliance with eligibility or servicing requirements, or customer fraud, that should have been identified in a loan file review.  Mortgage loans held for sale are accounted for at fair value on an individual loan basis. Estimated fair value is determined on the basis of existing forward commitments, or the current market value of similar loans.  Changes in the fair value, and realized gains and losses on the sales of mortgage loans, are reported in Mortgage Banking Income, a component of Noninterest Income in our Consolidated Statements of Income. Interest income on loans held for sale is reported in Loans, including fees, a component of Interest Income in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company purchases the guaranteed portions of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans from third-party originators. The guaranteed portions of SBA loans purchased by the Company are aggregated into pools with similar characteristics to create a security representing an interest in those pools through the SBA’s fiscal transfer agent (”FTA”). Gains or losses on the sale of the securities and individual guaranteed portions of loans are both recorded in Correspondent Banking and Capital Markets Income in Noninterest Income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Sales of the securities are accounted for as of the settlement date, which is the date the Company surrenders control over the transferred assets. The guaranteed portion of the SBA loans that have not been pooled or sold, are reported as Loans Held for Sale on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet and recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The fair value of the purchased guaranteed portion of the SBA loans is determined based upon their committed sales price, and actual observable market price provided to secondary market participants from the originating banks who are selling their guaranteed portions of loans.

Loans

Loans that management has originated and has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay off generally are reported at their unpaid principal balances, less unearned income and net of any deferred loan fees and costs. Unearned income on installment loans is recognized as income over the terms of the loans by methods that approximate the interest method. Interest on other loans is calculated by using the simple interest method on daily balances of the principal amount outstanding.

Premiums and discounts on purchased loans and non-refundable loan origination and commitment fees, net of direct costs of originating or acquiring loans, are deferred and recognized over the contractual or estimated lives of the related loans as an adjustment to the loans’ constant effective yield, which is included in interest income on loans.

We place loans on nonaccrual once reasonable doubt exists about the collectability of all principal and interest due. Generally, this occurs when principal or interest is 90 days or more past due, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection and excludes factored receivables. For factored receivables, which are commercial trade credits rather than promissory notes, the Company’s practice, in most cases, is to charge-off unpaid recourse receivables when they become 240 days past due from the invoice due date and the non-recourse receivables when they become 240 days past due from the statement due date. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

A loan is evaluated individually for loss when it is on nonaccrual and has a net book balance over $1 million. Large pools of homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for loss and reserved at the pool level. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as nonaccrual, provided that management expects to collect all amounts due, including interest accrued at the contractual interest rate for the period of delay.

Modifications to Troubled Borrowers

As of January 1, 2023, the Company adopted and applied prospectively ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, that requires the elimination of designation of loans as TDRs. Management measures expected credit losses over the contractual term of a loan. When determining the contractual term, the Company considers expected prepayments but is precluded from considering expected extensions, renewals, or modifications. Longstanding TDR accounting rules were replaced as of January 1, 2023 with ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (See Recent Accounting and Regulatory Pronouncements section of this Note 1). In accordance with the adoption of ASU 2022-02, any loans modified to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty are reviewed by the Bank to determine if an interest rate reduction, a term extension, an other-than-insignificant payment delay, a principal forgiveness, or any combination of these has occurred.

Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”)

The Company complies with the requirements of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, sometimes referred to herein as ASU 2016-13. Topic 326 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses; ASU No. 2019-05, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses; and ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments. This standard applies to all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off balance sheet credit exposures, including loans, investment securities and unfunded commitments.

ACL – Investment Securities

Management uses a systematic methodology to determine its ACL for investment securities held to maturity. The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the held to maturity portfolio. Management considers the effects of past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts on the collectability of the loan portfolio. The Company’s estimate of its ACL involves a high degree of judgment; therefore, management’s process for determining expected credit losses may result in a range of expected credit losses. Management monitors the held to maturity portfolio to determine whether a valuation account should be recorded. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $2.3 billion of held to maturity securities and no related valuation account. As of December 31, 2024, the held to maturity portfolio consisted of U.S. Government Agency, U.S. Government Agency Residential and Commercial Mortgage-backed securities, and Small Business Administration loan-backed securities. At December 31, 2024, management does not believe that a fair value below amortized cost is due to credit related factors.

ASC Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Available for sale Debt Securities, changed the accounting for recognizing impairment on available for sale debt securities. Each quarter, management evaluates impairment where there has been a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis of a security to determine whether there is a credit loss associated with the decline in fair value. Management considers the nature of the collateral, potential future changes in collateral values, default rates, delinquency rates, third-party guarantees, credit ratings, interest rate changes since purchase, volatility of the security’s fair value and historical loss information for financial assets secured with similar collateral among other factors. Credit losses are calculated individually, rather than collectively, using a discounted cash flow method, whereby management compares the present value of expected cash flows with the amortized cost basis of the security. The credit loss component would be recognized through the Provision for Credit Losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Management excludes the accrued interest receivable balance from the amortized cost basis in measuring expected credit losses on the investment securities and does not record an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable as the Company reverses any accrued interest against interest income if an investment is placed on nonaccrual status. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the accrued interest receivables for investment securities recorded in Other Assets were $24.2 million and $26.5 million, respectively.

ACL – Loans

The ACL for loans held for investment reflects management’s estimate of credit losses that will result from the inability of our borrowers to make required loan payments. The Company makes adjustments to the ACL by recording a provision for or recovery of credit losses through earnings. Loans charged off are recorded as reductions to the ACL on the balance sheet and subsequent recoveries of loan charge-offs are recorded as increases to the ACL when they are received.

Management uses systematic methodologies to determine its ACL for loans held for investment and certain off-balance-sheet credit exposures. The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loan portfolio. Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, credit quality, or term, as well as for changes in macroeconomic conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, gross domestic product, property values, or other relevant factors. The Company’s estimate of its ACL involves a high degree of judgment; therefore, management’s process for determining expected losses may result in a range of expected losses. The Company’s ACL recorded in the balance sheet reflects management’s best estimate within the range of expected losses. The Company recognizes in net income the amount needed to adjust the ACL for management’s current estimate of expected losses.

The Company’s ACL is calculated using collectively evaluated and individually evaluated loans. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans with similar risk characteristics are grouped into homogenous segments, or pools, for analysis. The Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) method is used for each loan in a pool, and the results are aggregated at the pool level. A probability of default and absolute loss given default are applied to a projective model of the loan’s cash flow while considering prepayment and principal curtailment effects. The analysis produces expected cash flows for each instrument in the pool by pairing loan-level term information (e.g., maturity date, payment amount, interest rate, etc.) with top-down pool assumptions (e.g., default rates and prepayment speeds). The Company has identified the following portfolio segments: Owner-Occupied Commercial Real Estate, Non-Owner Occupied Commercial Real Estate, Multifamily, Municipal, Commercial and Industrial, Commercial Construction and Land Development, Residential Construction, Residential Senior Mortgage, Residential Junior Mortgage, Revolving Mortgage, and Consumer and Other.

In determining the proper level of the ACL, management has determined that the loss experience of the Bank provides the best basis for its assessment of expected credit losses. The Company therefore used its own historical credit loss experience by each loan segment over an economic cycle, while excluding loss experience from certain acquired institutions (i.e., failed banks). For most of the segment models for collectively evaluated loans, the Company incorporated two or more macroeconomic drivers using a statistical regression modeling methodology.

Management considers forward-looking information in estimating expected credit losses. The Company subscribes to a third-party service which provides a quarterly macroeconomic baseline outlook and alternative scenarios for the United States economy. The baseline, along with the evaluation of alternative scenarios, is used by management to determine the best estimate within the range of expected credit losses. Management has evaluated the appropriateness of the reasonable and supportable forecast scenarios and has made adjustments as needed. For the contractual term that extends beyond the reasonable and supportable forecast period, the Company reverts to the long term average loss rate within four quarters using a straight-line approach. The Company generally uses an eight-quarter forecast and four-quarter reversion period. The forecast period and scenarios used are reviewed on a quarterly basis and may be adjusted based on management's view of the current economic conditions and level of predictability the forecast can provide.

While quantitative allowance methodologies strive to reflect all risk factors, any estimate involves assumptions and uncertainties resulting in some level of imprecision. Imprecision exists in the estimation process due to the inherent time lag between obtaining information, performing the calculation, as well as variations between estimates and actual outcomes. As a result, amounts determined under the methodologies described above are adjusted by management to consider the potential impact of other qualitative factors not captured in the quantitative model adjustments which include, but are not limited to, the following: imprecision or conditions not captured in economic scenario assumptions, emerging risks related to either changes in the internal or external environment that are affecting specific portfolios, trends in loan or portfolio level credit metrics not captured in quantitative modeling, or model imprecision adjustments. The consideration of these items results in adjustments to allowance amounts included in the Company’s allowance for credit losses for each loan portfolio.

During 2024, updates were made to certain estimates used in the Company’s current expected credit loss model, the most significant of which included expanding the number of macroeconomic variables used in the quantitative modes, incorporating more granular loss data, and adjusting the reasonable and supportable forecast period from one to two years. Management continues to update and expand our qualitative framework to further address factors not captured in the quantitative process.

The Company’s ACL is calculated using collectively evaluated and individually evaluated loans. Even though portions of the allowance may be allocated to specific loans or pools of loans, the entire allowance is available for any credit that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.

When a loan no longer shares similar risk characteristics with its segment, the asset is assessed to determine whether it should be included in another pool or should be individually evaluated. The Company’s threshold for individually evaluated loans includes all non-accrual loans with a net book balance in excess of $1.0 million. Management will monitor the credit environment and make adjustments to this threshold in the future if warranted. Based on the threshold above, consumer financial assets will generally remain in pools unless they meet the dollar threshold. The expected credit losses on individually evaluated loans will be estimated based on discounted cash flow analysis unless the loan meets the criteria for use of the fair value of collateral, either by virtue of an expected foreclosure or through meeting the definition of collateral-dependent. Financial assets that have been individually evaluated can be returned to a pool for purposes of estimating the expected credit loss insofar as their credit profile improves and that the repayment terms were not considered to be unique to the asset.

Management measures expected credit losses over the contractual term of a loan. Effective January 1, 2023, the ACL includes expected losses on modifications of non-accrual loans over $1 million to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty estimated on an individual basis. Otherwise, a change to the ACL is not recorded upon modification because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance historical data.

For purchased credit-deteriorated, otherwise referred to herein as PCD, assets are defined as acquired individual financial assets (or acquired groups of financial assets with similar risk characteristics) that, as of the date of acquisition, have experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination, as determined by the Company’s assessment. The Company records acquired PCD loans by adding the expected credit losses (i.e., allowance for credit losses) to the purchase price of the financial assets rather than recording through the provision for credit losses in the income statement. The expected credit loss, as of the acquisition day, of a PCD loan is added to the allowance for credit losses. The non-credit discount or premium is the difference between the unpaid principal balance and the amortized cost basis as of the acquisition date. Subsequent to the acquisition date, the change in the ACL on PCD loans is recognized through the Provision for Credit Losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The non-credit discount or premium is accreted or amortized, respectively, into interest income over the remaining life of the PCD loan on a level-yield basis.

The Company follows its nonaccrual policy by reversing contractual interest income in the income statement when the Company places a loan on nonaccrual status. Therefore, management excludes the accrued interest receivable balance from the amortized cost basis in measuring expected credit losses on the portfolio and does not record an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the accrued interest receivable for loans recorded in Other Assets were $133.0 million and $127.0 million, respectively.

The Company has a variety of assets that have a component that qualifies as an off-balance sheet exposure. These primarily include undrawn portions of revolving lines of credit and standby letters of credit. The expected losses associated with these exposures within the unfunded portion of the expected credit loss will be recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. Management has determined that a majority of the Company’s off-balance sheet credit exposures are not unconditionally cancellable. Management completes funding studies based on historical data to estimate the percentage of unfunded loan commitments that will ultimately be funded to calculate the reserve for unfunded commitments. Management applies this funding rate, along with the loss factor rate determined for each pooled loan segment, to unfunded loan commitments, excluding unconditionally cancellable exposures and letters of credit, to arrive at the reserve for unfunded loan commitments. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the liability recorded for expected credit losses on unfunded commitments was $45.3 million and $56.3 million, respectively. The current adjustment to the ACL for unfunded commitments is recognized through the Provision for Credit Losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Other Real Estate Owned and Bank Property Held For Sale

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) consists of properties obtained through foreclosure or through a deed in lieu of foreclosure in satisfaction of loans. The Company discloses former branch site assets as bank property held for sale and reports within Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Both OREO and bank property held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value and the fair value was determined on the basis of current valuations obtained principally from independent sources, adjusted for estimated selling costs. At the time of foreclosure or initial possession of collateral, for OREO, any excess of the loan balance over the fair value of the real estate held as collateral is treated as a charge against the ACL. At the time a bank property is no longer in service and is moved to held for sale, any excess of the current book value over fair value is recorded as an expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income in the merger and branch consolidation related expense line item. The property is then actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. Subsequent adjustments to the value for those being held for sale are described in the following paragraph.

The Company reports subsequent declines in the fair value of OREO and bank properties held for sale below the new cost basis through valuation adjustments. Significant judgments and complex estimates are required in estimating the fair value of these properties, and the period of time within which such estimates can be considered current is significantly shortened during periods of market volatility. In response to market conditions and other economic factors, management may utilize liquidation sales as part of its problem asset disposition strategy. As a result of the significant judgments required in estimating fair value and the variables involved in different methods of disposition, the net proceeds realized from sales transactions could differ significantly from the current valuations used to determine the fair value of these properties. Management reviews the value of these properties periodically and adjusts the values as appropriate. Revenue and expenses from OREO operations, as well as gains or losses on sales and any subsequent adjustments to the value, are recorded as OREO Expense and Loan Related Expense, a component of Noninterest Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Expenses related to bank property held for sale, as well as gains or losses on sales and any subsequent adjustments to the value, are recorded in Other Expenses, a component of Noninterest Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Business Combinations and Method of Accounting for Loans Acquired

The Company accounts for its acquisitions under FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, which requires the use of the acquisition method of accounting. All identifiable assets acquired, including loans, are recorded at fair value, which now requires us to record purchased financial assets with credit deterioration (PCD assets), defined as a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination or issuance, at the purchase price plus the allowance for credit losses expected at the time of acquisition. Under this method, there is no credit loss expense affecting net income on acquisition of PCD assets. Changes in estimates of expected credit losses after acquisition are recognized as provision for credit losses (or recovery for credit losses) in subsequent periods as they arise. Any non-credit discount or premium resulting from acquiring a pool of purchased financial assets with credit deterioration shall be allocated to each individual asset. At the acquisition date, the initial allowance for credit losses determined on a collective basis shall be allocated to individual assets to appropriately allocate any non-credit discount or premium. The non-credit discount or premium, after the adjustment for the allowance for credit losses, shall be accreted to interest income using the interest method based on the effective interest rate determined after the adjustment for credit losses at the adoption date.

A purchased financial asset that does not qualify as a PCD asset is accounted for similar to an originated financial asset. Generally, this means that an entity recognizes the allowance for credit losses for non-PCD assets through net income at the time of acquisition. In addition, both the credit discount and non-credit discount or premium resulting from acquiring a pool of purchased financial assets that do not qualify as PCD assets shall be allocated to each individual asset. This combined discount or premium shall be accreted to interest income using the effective yield method.

For further discussion of our loan accounting and acquisitions, see Note 2—Mergers and Acquisitions, Note 4—Loans and Note 5—Allowance for Credit Losses to the audited consolidated financial statements.

Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Office equipment, furnishings, and buildings are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation computed principally on the declining-balance and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the terms of the related leases including lease renewals only when the Company is reasonably assured of the aggregate term of the lease. Additions to premises and equipment and major replacements are added to the accounts at cost. Maintenance and repairs and minor replacements are charged to expense when incurred. Gains and losses on routine dispositions are reflected in current operations.

Leases

Right-of-Use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. We determined that we do not have any leases classified as finance leases, and that all of our leases are operating leases, with the exception of the two minor finance leases acquired through the merger with CenterState. ROU assets and liabilities for operating leases are recognized at commencement date based on present value of lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the lease commencement date over the lease term. Because the rate implicit in the lease is typically not known, the lease incremental borrowing rate is determined by averaging the borrowing rates of multiple borrowing sources available to the Bank. For operating leases, lease expense is determined by the sum of the lease payments to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had operating ROU assets of $95.8 million and $100.3 million, respectively, recorded within Premises and Equipment on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and a lease liability of $103.9 million and $108.3 million, respectively, recorded within Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

BOLI is comprised of long-term life insurance contracts on the lives of certain current and past employees where the insurance policy benefits and ownership are retained by the employer. Its cash surrender value is an asset that the Company uses to partially offset the future cost of employee benefits. The cash value accumulation on BOLI is permanently tax deferred if the policy is held to the insured person’s death and certain other conditions are met.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of goodwill, core deposit intangibles and client list intangibles that result from the acquisition of other banks or branches from other financial institutions. Core deposit intangibles represent the value of long-term deposit relationships acquired in these transactions. Client list intangibles represent the value of long-term client relationships for the wealth and trust management business. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the sum of the estimated fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired less the estimated fair value of the liabilities assumed in a business combination. At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance of goodwill was $1.9 billion. Goodwill has an indefinite useful life and is evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value.

ASC Topic 350 requires an entity record an impairment charge if the reporting unit’s fair value exceeds its carrying value. The impairment charge will be limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The standard eliminates the requirement to calculate a goodwill impairment charge using Step 2 which involved calculating an implied fair value of goodwill for each reporting unit for which the first step indicated impairment. The standard does not change the guidance on completing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity will still be able to perform today’s optional qualitative goodwill impairment assessment before determining whether to proceed to the quantitative step of determining whether the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds it fair value.

The Company evaluated the carrying value of goodwill as of October 31, 2024, our annual test date, and determined that no impairment charge was necessary.

Core deposit intangibles and client list intangibles consist primarily of amortizing assets established during the acquisition of other banks. This includes whole bank acquisitions and the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities from other financial institutions. Core deposit intangibles, included in Core Deposit and Other Intangibles in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the deposit accounts acquired (generally 10 to 13 years) on an accelerated basis method which reasonably approximates the anticipated benefit stream from the accounts. The estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed for by comparing current balances to the initial estimates calculated at the time of merger or acquisition. Client list intangibles, included in Core Deposit and Other Intangibles in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the client lists acquired (generally 15 years) on the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed for reasonableness.

Mortgage Servicing Rights (“MSRs”)

The Company has a mortgage loan servicing portfolio with related mortgage servicing rights. MSRs represent the present value of the future net servicing fees from servicing mortgage loans. Servicing assets and servicing liabilities must be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. For subsequent measurements, an entity can choose to measure servicing assets and liabilities either based on fair value or lower of cost or market. The Company uses the fair value measurement option for MSRs.

The methodology used to determine the fair value of MSRs is subjective and requires the development of a number of assumptions, including anticipated prepayments of loan principal. Fair value is determined by estimating the present value of the asset’s future cash flows utilizing estimated market-based prepayment rates and discount rates, interest rates and other economic factors and assumptions validated through comparison to trade information, industry surveys, and with the use of independent third-party appraisals. Risks inherent in the MSRs valuation include higher than expected prepayment rates and/or delayed receipt of cash flows. The value of MSRs is significantly affected by interest rates available in the marketplace, which influence loan prepayment speeds. In general, during periods of declining interest rates, the value of mortgage servicing rights declines due to increasing prepayments attributable to increased mortgage refinance activity. Conversely, during periods of rising interest rates, the value of servicing rights generally increases due to reduced refinance activity. MSRs are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a component of Mortgage Banking Income.

Transfer of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over the transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when: (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. The Company reviews all sales of loans by evaluating specific terms in the sales documents and believes that the criteria discussed above to qualify for sales treatment have been met as loans have been transferred for cash and the notes and mortgages for all loans in each sale are endorsed and assigned to the transferee. Investors perform quality control reviews of mortgage loans purchased including post-purchase, early payment default, servicing, and post-foreclosure reviews. If a loan level deficiency cannot be remedied and breaches a term contained in the Investor agreement in effect at the time of loan delivery, the reviews may result in loan repurchase demands, or other alternative remedies. In certain sales, mortgage servicing rights may be retained and in other programs potential loss exposure from the credit enhancement obligation may be retained, both of which are evaluated and appropriately measured at the date of sale.

The Company maintains a risk management program to manage interest rate risk and pricing risk associated with its mortgage lending activities. This program includes the use of forward contracts and other derivatives that are used to offset changes in value of the mortgage inventory due to changes in market interest rates. Forward contracts to sell primarily fixed-rate mortgage loans are entered into to reduce the exposure to market risk arising from potential changes in interest rates. This could affect the fair value of mortgage loans held for sale and outstanding interest rate lock commitments which guarantee a certain interest rate if the loan is ultimately funded by the Company as a mortgage loan held for sale. The commitments to sell mortgage loans are at fixed prices and are schedule to settle on specific dates.

The Company enters into interest rate lock commitments for residential mortgage loans which commits it to lend funds to a potential borrower at a specific interest rate and within a specified time period. Interest rate lock commitments that relate to origination of mortgage loans that, if originated, will be held for sale, are considered derivative financial instruments under applicable accounting guidance. Outstanding interest rate lock commitments expose the Company to the risk that the price of the mortgage loans underlying the commitments may decline due to increases in mortgage interest rates from the inception of the rate lock to the funding of the loan and the eventual commitment for sale into the secondary market.

The Company packages the fixed rate conforming mortgage loans to be sold to investors. The Company records the sale when the transferred loans are purchased by the investor and the accounting criteria for the sale are met. Gains or losses recorded depend in part on the net carrying amount of the loans sold, which is allocated between the loans sold and retained interests based on their relative fair values at the date of sale. Since quoted market prices are not typically available, the fair value of retained interests is estimated through the services of a third-party service provider to determine the net present value of expected future cash flows. Such models incorporate management’s best estimates of key variables, such as prepayment speeds and discount rates that would be used by market participants and are appropriate for the risks involved. The Company generally retains mortgage servicing rights on residential loans sold in the secondary market to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Loans sold to other third-party investors are sold servicing released. Gains and losses incurred on loans sold to third-party investors are included in Mortgage Banking Income in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The majority of our revenue is derived primarily from interest income from receivables (loans) and securities. Other revenues are derived from fees received in connection with deposit accounts, mortgage banking activities including gains from the sale of loans and loan origination fees, correspondent banking activities including revenue from the sale of fixed income securities and fees from hedging services, and trust and investment advisory services. We recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

We report network costs associated with debit card and ATM transactions netted against the related fees from such transactions. For years 2024, 2023, and 2022, gross interchange and debit card transaction fees totaled $44.1 million, $41.3 million, and $40.7 million, respectively, while related network costs totaled $19.4 million, $20.7 million, and $18.5 million, respectively. On a net basis, the Company reported $24.8 million, $20.6 million, and $22.2 million, respectively, as interchange and debit card transactions fees in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income within Noninterest Income for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.

The Company maintains contracts to provide services, primarily for investment advisory and/or custody of assets. Through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, the Bank, and SouthState Advisory, Inc., the Company contracts with its customers to perform IRA, Trust, and/or Custody and Agency advisory services. Total revenue recognized from these contracts with customers was $45.5 million, $39.4 million, and $39.0 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. The Bank has contracts with its customers to perform deposit account services. Total revenue recognized from these contracts with customers is $142.3 million, $134.6 million, and $129.7 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. Due to the nature of our relationship with the customers that we provide services, we do not incur costs to obtain contracts and there are no material incremental costs to fulfill these contracts that should be capitalized.

Disaggregation of Revenue - The portfolio of services provided to the Company’s customers which generates revenue for which the revenue recognition standard applies consists of approximately 1.2 million active contracts at December 31, 2024. The Company has disaggregated revenue according to the timing of the transfer of service. Total revenue derived from contracts in which services are transferred at a point in time was $234.0, $237.3 million, and $266.8 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. Total revenue derived from contracts in which services are transferred over time was $23.5 million, $20.9 million, and $20.2 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. Revenue is recognized as the services are provided to the customers. Economic factors impacting the customers could affect the nature, amount, and timing of these cash flows, as unfavorable economic conditions could impair the customers’ ability to provide payment for services. This risk is mitigated as we generally deduct payments from customers’ accounts as services are rendered.

Contract Balances - The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable on our balance sheet. Most contracts call for payment by a charge or deduction to the respective customer account but there are some that require a receipt of payment from the customer. For fee per transaction contracts, the customers are billed as the transactions are processed. For hourly rate and monthly service contracts related to trust and some investment revenues, the customers are billed monthly (generally as a percentage basis point of the market value of the investment account). In some cases, specific to SouthState Advisory, Inc., customers are billed in advance for quarterly services to be performed based on the past quarter’s average account balance. These do create contract liabilities or deferred revenue, as the customers pay in advance for service. Neither the contract liabilities nor the accounts receivables balances are material to the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Performance Obligations - A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account for revenue recognition. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The performance obligations for these contracts are satisfied as the service is provided to the customer (either over time or at a point in time). The payment terms of the contracts are typically based on a basis point percentage of the investment account market value, fee per hour of service, or fee for service incurred. There are no significant financing components in the contracts. Excluding deposit services revenues, which are mostly billed at a point in time as a fee for services incurred, all other contracts contain variable consideration in that fees earned are derived from market values of accounts or from hours worked for services performed which determines the amount of consideration to which we are entitled. The variability is resolved when the hours are incurred or services are provided. The contracts do not include obligations for returns, refunds, or warranties. The contracts are specific to the amounts owed to the Company for services performed during a period should the contracts be terminated.

Significant Judgments - All of the contracts create performance obligations that are satisfied at a point in time excluding the contracts billed in advance through SouthState Advisory, Inc. and some immaterial deposit revenues. Revenue is recognized as services are billed to the customers. Variable consideration does exist for contracts related to our trust and investment services as revenues are based on market values and services performed. The Company has adopted the right-to-invoice practical expedient for trust management contracts through SouthState Bank, which we contract with our customers to perform IRA, Trust, and/or Custody services.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred and advertising communication costs the first time the advertising takes place. The Company may establish accruals for anticipated advertising expenses within the course of a fiscal year.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as (1) unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities (2) unrealized gains and losses on effective portions of derivative financial instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges and (3) net change in unrecognized amounts related to pension and post-retirement benefits, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Such items, along with net income, are components of total comprehensive (loss) income (see Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) on page F-8).

Employee Benefit Plans

The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) allows for a look-back option which establishes the purchase price as an amount based on the lesser of the stock’s market price at the grant date or its market price at the exercise (or purchase) date. For the shares issued in exchange for employee services under the plan, the Company accounts for the plan under the FASB ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, in which the fair value measurement method is used to estimate the fair value of the equity instruments, based on the share price and other measurement assumptions at the grant date. See Note 17Share-Based Compensation for the amount the Company recognized as expense for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of the transactions reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the tax basis and financial statement. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the Provision for Income Taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

The Company will evaluate and recognize income tax benefits related to any uncertain tax positions using the recognition and measurement thresholds outlined in the applicable guidance. If the Company does not believe that it is more likely than not that an uncertain tax position will be sustained, the Company records a liability for the uncertain tax positions. If a tax benefit is more-likely-than not of being sustained based on the applicable authority, the Company records an income tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on other expense line in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Accrued interest and penalties are included on the related liability lines in the consolidated balance sheet.

See Note 11Income Taxes to the consolidated financial statements for further details and discussion.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential shares had been issued. Potential shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units (non-vested shares and vested shares subject to a holding period), and are determined using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the number of incremental shares is determined by assuming the issuance of stock for the outstanding stock options, reduced by the number of shares assumed to be repurchased from the issuance proceeds, using the average market price for the year of the Company’s stock. Weighted-average shares for the basic and diluted EPS calculations have been reduced by the average number of unvested restricted shares.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company’s interest rate risk management strategy incorporates the use of derivative financial instruments. Historically, the Company has used interest rate swaps to essentially convert a portion of its variable-rate debt to a fixed rate. Cash flows related to variable-rate debt will fluctuate with changes in an underlying rate index. When effectively hedged, the increases or decreases in cash flows related to the variable-rate debt will generally be offset by changes in cash flows of the derivative instrument designated as a hedge. This strategy is referred to as a cash flow hedge. For derivatives designated as hedging exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction (cash flow hedge), the derivative’s entire unrealized gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings or when the hedged instrument and related swap are terminated before maturity. For derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recognized in earnings immediately. The Company did not use cash flow hedges for the years ended December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

The Company maintains loan swaps which are accounted for as a fair value hedge. This derivative protects the Company from interest rate risk caused by changes in the SOFR curve in relation to a certain designated fixed rate loan. Fair value hedges convert the fixed rate to a floating rate. For discussion related to Reference Rate Reform, please refer to the caption “Accounting Standards Adopted” within this Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

The Company’s risk management strategy for its mortgage banking activities incorporates derivative instruments used to economically hedge both the value of the mortgage servicing rights and the mortgage pipeline. These derivative instruments are not designated as hedges and are not speculative in nature. The derivative instruments that are used to hedge the value of the mortgage servicing rights include financial forwards, futures contracts, and options written and purchased. When-issued securities and mandatory cash forward trades are typically used to hedge the mortgage pipeline. These instruments derive their cash flows, and therefore their values, by reference to an underlying instrument, index or referenced interest rate.

During 2023, management began executing a series of short-term interest rate hedges to address monthly accrual mismatches related to the Company’s Assumable Rate Conversion (“ARC”) program and its transition from LIBOR to SOFR after June 30, 2023. The Company is required to execute the correspondent side of its back-to-back swaps with customers with the central clearinghouses, London Clearing House (“LCH”) and Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”). Term SOFR was not available to execute through CME and LCH, and therefore, management elected to convert to the CME-eligible daily SOFR. Because many of the respondent bank customers converted to term SOFR, this created interest rate basis risk. To address this risk, monthly interest rate hedges were executed to minimize the impact of accrual mismatches between the monthly term SOFR used by the customer and the daily SOFR rates used by the central clearinghouses. As these economic interest rate hedges do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of the swaps are recognized directly in earnings.

The Company’s risk management strategy also incorporates the use of interest rate swap contracts that help in managing interest rate risk within the loan portfolio and foreign currency exchange. These derivatives are not designated as hedges and are not speculative, and result from a service the Company provides to certain customers. The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously economically hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that the Company executes with a third-party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings.

The Company enters into master netting agreements with counterparties which requires collateral to cover exposures as identified within the derivative instruments not designated hedges of interest rate risk. Where legally enforceable, these master netting agreements give the Company, in the event of default by the counterparty, the right to liquidate securities held as collateral and to offset receivables and payables with the same counterparty.

The Company determined the variation margin payments for the Company’s interest rate swaps centrally cleared through LCH and CME meet the legal characteristics of daily settlements of the derivatives (settle-to-market) rather than collateral (collateralize-to-market). As a result, the variation margin payment and the related derivative instruments are considered a single unit of account for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Depending on the net position, the fair value of the single unit of account is reported in Derivative Assets or Derivative Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, as opposed to interest-earning deposits (restricted cash) within Cash and Cash Equivalents or interest-bearing deposits within Total Deposits. In addition, the expense or income attributable to the variation margin payments for the centrally cleared swaps is reported in Noninterest Income, specifically within Correspondent and Capital Markets Income, as opposed to Interest Income or Interest Expense. The daily settlement of the derivative exposure does not change or reset the contractual terms of the instrument.

By using derivative instruments, the Company is exposed to credit and market risk. If the counterparty fails to perform, credit risk is equal to the fair value gain in a derivative. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, this situation generally indicates that the counterparty is obligated to pay the Company, and, therefore, creates a repayment risk for the Company. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, the Company is obligated to pay the counterparty and, therefore, has no repayment risk. The Company minimizes the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties that are reviewed periodically by the Company.

The Company’s derivative activities are monitored by its Asset-Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) as part of that committee’s oversight of the Company’s asset/liability and treasury functions. The Company’s ALCO is responsible for implementing various hedging strategies that are developed through its analysis of data from financial

simulation models and other internal and industry sources. The resulting hedging strategies are then incorporated into the overall interest-rate risk management process.

The Company recognizes the fair value of derivatives as assets or liabilities in the financial statements. The accounting for the changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative instrument at inception. The change in fair value of the effective portion of cash flow hedges is accounted for in Other Comprehensive Income rather than Net Income. Gains and losses recognized from changes in fair value on derivatives are reported in Derivative Assets and Derivatives Liabilities lines under cash flows from operating activities section in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments that are not intended as a hedge are accounted for in Net Income in the period of the change.

See Note 26—Derivative Financial Instruments for further disclosure.

Reclassification

Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. Such reclassifications are immaterial and had no effect on net income, comprehensive income (loss), total assets or total shareholders’ equity as previously reported.

Recent Accounting and Regulatory Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted

In March 2022, FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU eliminate the long-standing accounting guidance for Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, as it is no longer meaningful due to the introduction of Topic 326, which requires an entity to consider lifetime expected credit losses on loans when establishing an allowance for credit losses. Thus, most losses that would have been realized for a TDR under Subtopic 310-40 are now captured by the accounting required under Topic 326. The amendments in this ASU also require that an entity disclose current-period gross write offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses Measured at Amortized Cost. The Company adopted ASU No. 2022-02 effective January 1, 2023. We elected to apply a prospective transition method, which applies only to modifications occurring after the adoption date. For loans meeting the Bank’s materiality criteria, which includes loans in excess of $250,000, an assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of the modification. On the transition date, the former TDR loans as of December 31, 2022 were designated as individually evaluated loans on January 1, 2023 and retained the allowance for credit losses allocated to these loans at the adoption date as the credit risk of these loans did not change. Aside from the changes to the disclosures required by ASU No. 2022-02, the ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848 – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting and subsequently expanded the scope of ASU No. 2020-04 with the issuance of ASU No. 2021-01 and extended the sunset date to December 31, 2024 with ASU No. 2022-06. This update provides companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that will be discontinued. The amendments in this update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The main provisions for contract modifications include optional relief by allowing the modification as a continuation of the existing contract without additional analysis and other optional expedients regarding embedded features. The amendments in this update were effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 and may be applied through December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 which clarified that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. ASU 2022-06 extended the effective date through December 31, 2024. The amendments are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024 and can be adopted at the instrument level on an ongoing basis. Management adopted these optional expedients beginning April 1, 2023 to coincide with the transition and modification of our LIBOR-exposed instruments. Most of the loan modifications met the requirements of these practical expedients, as most were subject to the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act which permits a replacement index with a spread adjustment. These modifications did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The Company adopted ASU 2023-02, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method effective January 1, 2024, and changed the accounting method of its LIHTC structured investments from the equity method to the proportional amortization method. The Company adopted ASU 2023-02 using the modified retrospective approach. Under this adoption approach, management was required to verify the LIHTCs met the conditions for proportional amortization method as of the date the investments were originally made by the Bank. In addition, management evaluated the actual tax credits and other income tax benefits received, as well as the remaining benefits expected to be received, as of the adoption date. The cumulative difference between the equity method and proportional amortization method resulted in a one-time cumulative effect adjustment recorded through retained earnings as of January 1, 2024. The cumulative effect resulting from the adoption of proportional amortization method was a net reduction to retained earnings of $10.2 million.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to improve disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and address requests from investors and other allocators of capital for additional, more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. Segment information gives investors an understanding of overall performance and is key to assessing potential future cash flows. In addition, although information about a segment’s revenue and measure of profit or loss is disclosed in an entity’s financial statements, there is limited information disclosed about a segment’s expenses. The key amendments include annual and interim disclosures of significant expenses and other segment items that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of profit or loss, as well as any other key measure of performance used for segment management decisions. This ASU also requires disclosure of key profitability measures used in assessing performance and how to allocate resources. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 using the retrospective approach. Aside from the new disclosures required by ASU No. 2023-07, the ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. See Note 28—Segment Reporting for further disclosure.

Issued But Not Yet Adopted Accounting Standards

On November 2024, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, to provide investors with more decision-useful information about a public business entity’s expense by improving disclosures on income statement expenses. Investors indicated that information regarding cost of sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A), employee compensation costs, depreciation and amortization, and research and development could help them better comprehend an entity's cost structure and forecast future cash flows. This ASU requires additional disclosures about specific expense categories on an annual and interim basis in the notes to financial statements. Specifically, public companies will be required to disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory; employee compensation; depreciation; intangible asset amortization; and depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil-and gas-producing activities included in each relevant expense caption. Additional disaggregation of certain amounts in other disclosures is also required. The amendments in the ASU are effective for public business entities only for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company does not anticipate this ASU will have a material impact on its financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which aims to address requests for improved income tax disclosures from investors, lenders, creditors and other allocators of capital (collectively, “investors”) that use the financial statements to make capital allocation decisions. The amendments in this ASU address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information, including jurisdictional information, by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in both the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not anticipate this ASU will have a material impact on its financial statements.

Note 2—Mergers and Acquisitions

Independent Bank Group, Inc. (“Independent”)

On May 20, 2024, the Company and Independent, a Texas-based corporation, announced that the companies have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement was approved by the Boards of Directors of the Company and Independent by the unanimous vote of the directors present at the applicable meeting, and subsequently approved by the Company’s and Independent’s respective shareholders on August 14, 2024. The merger was approved by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”) on December 13, 2024, and the transaction closed on January 1, 2025.

The Merger Agreement provided that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Independent merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the merger. Immediately following the merger, Independent’s wholly owned banking subsidiary, Independent Bank, merged with and into the Company’s wholly owned banking subsidiary, SouthState Bank, National Association, which continues as the surviving bank in the bank merger. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, shareholders of Independent received 0.60 shares of the Company’s common stock for each share of Independent common stock they own.

The Company’s other investment securities consist of non-marketable equity and other securities that have no readily determinable market value. Accordingly, when evaluating these securities for impairment, management considers the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than recognizing temporary declines in value. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has determined that there was no impairment on its other investment securities.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt and equity securities at December 31, 2024 by contractual maturity are detailed below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties.

The U.S. Treasury securities in a continuous unrealized losses position for less than twelve months at December 31, 2024, had a combined gross unrealized loss total of less than $1,000.

Each quarter, management evaluates impairment where there has been a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis of a security to determine whether there is a credit loss associated with the decline in fair value. Management continues to monitor all of our securities with a high degree of scrutiny. There can be no assurance that we will not conclude in future periods that conditions existing at that time indicate some or all of its securities may be sold or would require a charge to earnings as a provision for credit losses in such periods. See Note 1—Summary of Significant Account Policies for further discussion.

At December 31, 2024, investment securities with a market value of $2.4 billion and a carrying value of $2.6 billion were pledged to secure public funds deposits and for other purposes required and permitted by law (excluding securities pledged to secure repurchase agreement disclosed in Note 10—Other Borrowings, under the “Short-Term Borrowings”, “Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase (“Repurchase agreements”)” section). Of the $2.6 billion carrying value of investment securities pledged, $2.3 billion were pledged to secure public funds deposits, $193.7 million were pledged to secure FHLB advances, and $101.5 million were pledged to secure interest rate swap positions with correspondents. At December 31, 2023, investment securities with a market value of $3.0 billion and a carrying value of $3.2 billion were pledged to secure public funds deposits and for other purposes required and permitted by law. Of the $3.2 million carrying value of investment securities pledged, $2.4 billion were pledged to secure public funds deposits, $729.4 million were pledged to secure FHLB advances and $115.0 million were pledged to secure interest rate swap positions with correspondents.

(2)

Consumer owner occupied real estate includes loans on both 1-4 family owner occupied property, as well as loans collateralized by 1-4 family owner occupied properties with a business intent.

The above table reflects the loan portfolio at the amortized cost basis for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, to include net deferred costs of $86.7 million compared to net deferred costs of $68.0 million, respectively, and unamortized discount total related to loans acquired of $36.9 million compared to $51.3 million, respectively. Accrued interest receivable of $133.0 million and $127.0 million are accounted for separately and reported in other assets for the periods December 31, 2024 and 2023.

As part of the ongoing monitoring of the credit quality of our loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators, including trends related to (i) the level of classified loans, (ii) net charge-offs, (iii) non-performing loans (see details below), and (iv) the general economic conditions of the markets that we serve.

The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each commercial loan. Classified loans are assessed at a minimum every six months. A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades is as follows:

Pass—These loans range from minimal credit risk to average, however, still acceptable credit risk.
Special mention—A special mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or the institution’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard—A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that may jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. A substandard loan is characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful—A doubtful loan has all of the weaknesses inherent in one classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of the currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Construction and land development loans in the following table are on commercial and speculative real estate. Consumer owner-occupied loans are collateralized by 1-4 family owner-occupied property with a business intent.

There is no interest income recognized during the period on nonaccrual loans. The Company follows its nonaccrual policy by reversing contractual interest income in the income statement when the Company places a loan on nonaccrual status. Loans on nonaccrual status in which there is no allowance assigned are individually evaluated loans that do not carry a specific reserve. See Note 1Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for further detailed on individually evaluated loans.

The Bank designates individually evaluated loans on non-accrual with a net book balance exceeding the designated threshold as collateral dependent loans. Collateral dependent loans are loans for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. These loans do not share common risk characteristics and are not included within the collectively evaluated loans for determining the ACL. Under ASC 326-20-35-6, the Bank has adopted the collateral maintenance practical expedient to measure the ACL based on the fair value of collateral. The ACL is calculated on an individual loan basis based on the shortfall between the fair value of the loan's collateral, which is adjusted for selling costs, and amortized cost. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost, no allowance is required. The Bank’s threshold for individually evaluated loans is $1.0 million. The changes above in collateral percentage are due to appraisal value updates or changes in the number of loans within the asset class and collateral type. Overall collateral dependent loans increased by $7.8 million from December 31, 2023 compared to the balance at December 31, 2024.

Loans on nonaccrual status at the date of modification are initially classified as nonaccrual. Loans on accruing status at the date of modification are initially classified as accruing if the note is reasonably assured of repayment and performance is expected in accordance with its modified terms. Such loans may be designated as nonaccrual loans subsequent to the modification date if reasonable doubt exists as to the collection of interest or principal under the modification agreement. Nonaccrual loans are returned to accruing status when there is economic substance to the modification, there is documented credit evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition, the remaining balance is reasonably assured of repayment in accordance with its modified terms, and the borrower has demonstrated sustained repayment performance in accordance with the modified terms for a reasonable period of time (generally a minimum of six months). See Note 1Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for how such modifications are factored into the determination of the ACL for the periods presented above.

The following tables present loans designated as modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The loans are segregated by type of modification and asset class, indicating the financial effect of the modifications. The amortized cost balance for the modified loans presented below exclude accrued interest receivable of approximately $153,000 and $59,000 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Bank on occasion will enter into modification agreements which extend the maturity payoff on a loan, reduce the interest rate, or extended the payment amortization significantly, for borrowers willing to continue to pay, to minimize losses for the Bank. At December 31, 2024, the Company had no remaining commitments to lend additional funds on loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty and modified during the current reporting period.

The following table presents the changes in status of loans modified within the previous twelve months to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, as of December 31, 2024 by type of modification. There were no subsequent defaults.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“repurchase agreements”) represent funds received from customers, generally on an overnight or continuous basis, which are collateralized by investment securities owned or, at times, borrowed and re-hypothecated by the Company. Repurchase agreements are subject to terms and conditions of the master repurchase agreements between the Company and the client and are accounted for as secured borrowings. The Company monitors the fair value of the underlying securities on a daily basis. Some securities underlying these agreements include arrangements to resell securities from broker-dealers approved by the Company. Repurchase agreements are reflected at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction and included in federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase on the consolidated balance sheets.

At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s repurchase agreements totaled $254.7 million and $241.0 million, respectively. All of the Company’s repurchase agreements were overnight or continuous (until-further-notice) agreements at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. These borrowings were collateralized with government, government-sponsored enterprise, or state and political subdivision-issued securities with a carrying value of $370.4 million and $410.4 million at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Declines in the value of the collateral would require the Company to increase the amounts of securities pledged.

(1) All of the junior subordinated debt above is adjustable rate based on three-month CME SOFR plus a spread adjustment with the transition from LIBOR of 0.26161% plus a spread ranging from 140 basis points to 285 basis points. All of the Company's junior subordinated debt transitioned to SOFR from LIBOR for repricing dates after June 30, 2023.

(2) The $200 million in Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.75% per year to, but excluding, June 1, 2025. On June 1, 2025, the Notes convert to a floating rate equal to SOFR plus 562 basis points. The Notes may be redeemed by the Company after June 1, 2025. The balance in the table above is net of debt issuance costs.

(3) The Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.50% per year to, but excluding, September 1, 2025. On September 1, 2025, the Notes convert to a floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 536 basis points. The Notes may be redeemed by the Company on or after September 1, 2025. These notes were acquired in the ACBI acquisition on March 1, 2022 and are net of the fair value discount noted in the table above.

(4) The weighted average interest rate calculation does not include the effects of fair value marks and debt issuance costs.

FHLB and FRB Borrowings

The Company has from time-to-time entered into borrowing agreements with the FHLB and FRB. Borrowings under these agreements are collateralized by stock in the FHLB, qualifying first and second mortgage residential loans, investment securities, and commercial real estate loans under a blanket-floating lien.

As of December 31, 2024, there were no short-term borrowings and $100.0 million at December 31, 2023. The borrowings at December 31, 2023 consisted of FHLB advance daily credits. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the average balance for short-term borrowings $179.2 million and $243.0 million, respectively and consisted of borrowing from the FHLB, FRB Discount Window and US bank line of credit. The year-to-date weighted average cost for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was 5.55% and 5.08%, respectively. Net eligible loans of the Company pledged via a blanket lien to the FHLB for advances and letters of credit at December 31, 2024, were approximately $12.1 billion (collateral value of $6.7 billion) and investment securities and cash pledged were approximately $193.7 million (collateral value of $164.7 million). This allows the Company a total borrowing capacity at the FHLB of approximately $6.8 billion. After accounting for letters of credit totaling $3.3 million, the Company had unused net credit available with the FHLB in the amount of approximately $6.8 billion at December 31, 2024. The Company also has a total borrowing capacity at the FRB of $1.8 billion at December 31, 2024 secured by a blanket lien on $2.7 billion (collateral value of $1.8 billion) in net eligible loans of the Company. The Company had no outstanding borrowings with the FRB at December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Junior Subordinated Debt

The obligations of the Company with respect to the issuance of the capital securities constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the trusts’ obligations with respect to the capital securities. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Company may elect from time to time to defer interest payments on the junior subordinated debt securities, which would result in a deferral of distribution payments on the related capital securities.

All of the Company’s junior subordinated debt is callable after five years from issuance. Therefore, all of the junior subordinated debt is callable at December 31, 2024.

As of December 31, 2024, the sole assets of the trusts were an aggregate of $118.6 million of the Company’s junior subordinated debt securities with like maturities and like interest rates to the trust preferred securities.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had a $117.9 million liability for the junior subordinated debt securities, net of a $689,000 discount recorded on Citizens South Banking Corporation Statutory Trust I, Community Capital Statutory Trust I, FCRV Statutory Trust I and Provident Community Bancshares Capital Trust I and II. The Company, as issuer, can call any of these subordinated debt securities without penalty. If the Company were to call the securities, the amount paid to the holders would be $118.6 million and the Company would fully amortize any remaining discount into interest expense. The remaining discount is being amortized over a four-year period.

As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, there was $117.9 million (net of discount of $0.7 million) and $117.6 million (net of discount of $0.9 million), respectively, in junior subordinated debt. The weighted average cost of the junior subordinated debt at period end December 31, 2024 was 6.35% and the weighted average cost year-to-date for the year ended December 31, 2024 was 7.27%. This does not take into account the unamortized discount at period end or the discount amortization recorded during the year. If the discount were taken into account, the weighted average cost year-to-date for the period ending December 31, 2024 would be 7.52%. The weighted average cost of the junior subordinated debt at period end December 31, 2023 was 7.34% and the weighted average cost year to date for the year ended December 31, 2023 was 7.05%. If the discount were taken into account, the weighted average cost year-to-date would be 7.32% for the period ending December 31, 2023.

The Company’s trust preferred securities are included in Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes.

Subordinated Debt and Notes

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had a $273.7 million liability for subordinated debt.

The weighted average cost of the subordinated debt at period end December 31, 2024 was 5.68% and the weighted average cost year to date for the year ended December 31, 2024 was 5.68%. The weighted average cost of the subordinated debt at period end December 31, 2023 was 5.68% and the weighted average cost year to date for the year ended December 31, 2023 was 5.68%. This does not take into account unamortized debt issuance costs and the unaccreted premium and the amortization of the debt issuance costs and the premium accretion recorded during the year. If the debt issuance costs and premium accretion were taken into account, the weighted average cost year to date for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 would be 5.48% and 5.47%, respectively.

Qualifying subordinated debt can be included in Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes. At December 31, 2024, all of the Company’s subordinated debentures totaling $275.0 million qualified for Tier 2 capital treatment.

Line of Credit

On November 11, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment and restatement to its Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) with U.S. Bank National Association (the “Lender”). The Agreement provides for a $100 million unsecured line of credit by the Lender to the Company. The maturity date of the Agreement is November 10, 2025, provided that the Agreement may be extended subject to the approval of the Lender. Borrowings by the Company under the Agreement will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 1.50% plus monthly reset term SOFR Rate. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was no outstanding balance associated with the line of credit. The average balance outstanding during 2024 was less than $1,000 for the U.S. Bank line of credit.

Principal maturities of other borrowings, net of unamortized discount or debt issuance costs, are summarized below:

The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

The Company had federal NOL and realized built-in loss carryforwards of $48.9 million and $61.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which expire in varying amounts between 2026 to 2036. All of the Company's loss carryforwards are subject to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, which places an annual limitation on the amount of federal net operating loss carryforwards which the Company may utilize after a change in control, and also limits the Company's ability to utilize certain tax deductions (realized built-in losses or RBIL) due to the existence of a Net Unrealized Built-in Loss (NUBIL) at the time of the change in control. In total, the allowable deduction for all loss carryforwards on an annual basis is $11.8 million as of December 31, 2024. The Company is allowed to carry forward any such limited RBIL under terms similar to those related to NOLs. The Company also has an immaterial amount of credit carryforwards, which it expects to fully utilize within the carryforward period.

The Company also has acquired state net operating losses in Georgia and Florida. These are also subject to annual limitations under Section 382, similar to the federal NOLs. The company expects all state Section 382 limited carryforwards to be realized within the applicable carryforward period.

The Company has state net operating loss carryforwards of $110.9 million and $115.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, most of which expire in varying amounts through 2040. There is a valuation allowance of $3.1 million on $96.2 million of state operating loss carryforwards at the parent company for which realizability is uncertain.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.  Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, taxable income in carryback years, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deferred tax assets, net of the valuation allowance at December 31, 2024.

Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in interest expense and penalties. Unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate totaled $1.3 million and $0 for each period.

The Company's unrecognized tax benefit relates to income tax exposure on an ongoing state tax examination that the Company expects to conclude during the period ended December 31, 2025. Upon conclusion of the examination the Company expects the above amounts to reverse in their entirety.

Generally, the Company's federal and state income tax returns are no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for years prior to 2021.

Restrictions on Subsidiary Dividends, Loans, or Advances.

Note 15—Restrictions on Subsidiary Dividends, Loans, or Advances

The Company pays cash dividends to shareholders from its assets, which are mainly provided by dividends from its banking subsidiary. However, certain restrictions exist regarding the ability of its banking subsidiary to transfer funds to the Company in form of cash dividends, loans or advances. The approval of the OCC is required if the total of all dividends declared by the Bank in any calendar year exceeds the total of its net profits for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus. The federal banking agencies have issued policy statements which provide that bank holding companies and insured banks should generally pay dividends only out of current earnings.

During 2024, the Bank paid dividends to the Company of $168.0 million. These funds were used to pay dividends to shareholders of approximately $161.6 million during 2024.

Under Federal Reserve regulations, the Bank is also limited as to the amount it may lend to the Company. The maximum amount available for transfer from the Bank to the Company in the form of loans or advances was approximately $616.1 million and $579.8 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There were no outstanding loans or advances at December 31, 2024 and 2023.

The Company and its subsidiaries have a Safe Harbor plan. Under the plan, electing employees are eligible to participate after attaining age 18. Plan participants elect to contribute portions of their annual base compensation, or commissions, in any combination of pre-tax deferrals or Roth post-tax deferrals subject to the annual IRS limit. Employer contributions may be made from current or accumulated net profits. Participants may elect to contribute 1% to 85% of eligible compensation as a before or after tax contribution. Employees participating in the plan receive matching contributions from the Company in an amount equal to 100% of the first 4% of eligible compensation, contributed to the plan as deferral contributions.

Employees can enter the savings plan on or after the first day of each month. The employee may enter into a salary deferral agreement at any time to select an alternative deferral amount or to elect not to defer in the Plan. If the employee does not elect an investment allocation, the plan administrator will select a retirement-based portfolio according to the employee’s number of years until normal retirement age. The plan’s investment valuations are generally provided on a daily basis.

Share-Based Compensation

Note 17—Share-Based Compensation

Compensation cost is recognized for stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) issued to employees. Compensation cost is measured as the fair value of these awards on their date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used as the fair value of restricted stock awards and RSUs. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period for stock option awards and RSUs, and as the restriction period for restricted stock awards. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

Our 2004, 2012, 2019 and 2020 share-based compensation plans are long-term retention plans intended to attract, retain, and provide incentives for key employees and non-employee directors in the form of incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, and RSUs. Our 2020 plan was adopted by our shareholders at our annual meeting on October 29, 2020. The 2020 plan was subsequently amended and restated (“Amended and Restated 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan”) during our annual meeting on April 24, 2024 to increase the number of shares of common stock available for future grants. The Company also assumed the obligations of Atlantic Capital under various equity incentive plans pursuant to the acquisition of Atlantic Capital on March 1, 2022 and the obligations of CenterState Bank Corporation (“CenterState”) under various equity incentive plans pursuant to the merger with CenterState on June 7, 2020. The Amended and Restated 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan is the only plan from which new share-based compensation grants may be issued. It is the Company’s policy to grant awards out of the 2,451,634 shares registered under the Amended and Restated 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan.

Stock Options

With the exception of non-qualified stock options granted to directors under the 2004 and 2012 plans, which in some cases may be exercised at any time prior to expiration and in some other cases may be exercised at intervals less than a year following the grant date, incentive stock options granted under our 2004, 2012, 2019 and 2020 plans may not be exercised in whole or in part within a year following the date of the grant, as these incentive stock options become exercisable in 25% increments pro ratably over the four-year period following the grant date. The options are granted at an exercise price at least equal to the fair value of the common stock at the date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant. No options were granted under the 2004, 2012 or 2019 plans after January 26, 2012, February 1, 2019, and October 29, 2020, respectively, and the plans are closed other than for any options still unexercised and outstanding.

The fair value of options is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and expensed over the options’ vesting periods. We have not granted any stock options for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, and therefore, we have not used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to fair value options.

As of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, there were no unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock option grants under the plans. There was no fair value of shares vesting during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 and no compensation expense was recorded in 2024, 2023, and 2022.

Restricted Stock

From time-to-time, we grant shares of restricted stock to key employees. These awards help align the interests of these employees with the interests of our shareholders by providing economic value directly related to increases in the value of our stock. The value of the stock awarded is established as the fair market value of the stock at the time of the grant. We recognize expenses equal to the total value of such awards, ratably over the vesting period of the stock grants. Restricted stock grants to employees generally vest ratably over a two to four-year vesting period.

All restricted stock agreements are conditioned upon continued employment. Termination of employment prior to a vesting date, as described below, would terminate any interest in non-vested shares. Prior to vesting of the shares, as long as employed by the Company, the employees will have the right to vote such shares and to receive dividends paid with respect to such shares. All restricted shares will fully vest in the event of change in control of the Company or upon the death of the recipient.

Non-vested restricted stock for the year ended December 31, 2024 is summarized in the following table.

The Company granted no restricted stock shares for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022. Due to the acquisition of ACBI, effective March 1, 2022, a total of 84,224 restricted stock awards were assumed by the Company. Compensation expense of $532,000, $1.8 million, and $3.8 million was recorded in 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

The vesting schedule of these shares as of December 31, 2024 is as follows:

As of December 31, 2024, there was $35,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock granted under the plans. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.09 years as of December 31, 2024. The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $999,000, $2.4 million, and $2.5 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units (“RSU”)

From time-to-time, we also grant performance RSUs and time-vested RSUs to key employees, and time-vested RSUs to non-employee directors. These awards help align the interests of these employees with the interests of our shareholders by providing economic value directly related to our performance. Some performance RSU grants contain a three-year performance period while others contain a one to two-year performance period and a time-vested requirement (generally two to four years from the grant date). The performance-based awards for our long-term incentive plans are dependent on the achievement of tangible book value growth and return on average tangible common equity relative to the Company’s peer group during each three-year performance period. In December 2022, the Company’s Compensation Committee approved a modification to the long-term incentive plans to exclude the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income from the calculation of tangible book value growth per share. Grants to non-employee directors typically vest within a 12-month period. We communicate threshold, target, and maximum performance RSU awards and performance targets to the applicable key employees at the beginning of a performance period. Due to the merger with CenterState on June 7, 2020, all legacy and assumed performance-based restricted stock units converted to a time-vesting requirement. With respect to some long-term incentive awards, dividend equivalents are accrued at the same rate as cash dividends paid for each share of the Company’s common stock during the performance or time-vested period, and subsequently paid when the shares are issued on the vesting or settlement date. The value of the RSUs awarded is established as the fair market value of the stock at the time of the grant. We recognize expense on a straight-line basis typically over the performance or time-vesting periods based upon the probable performance target, as applicable, that will be met. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we accrued for 100% of the RSUs granted.

The nonvested shares of 835,308 at December 31, 2024 includes 284,003 shares that have fully vested but have not been released. Of these shares that have not been released, 61,863 shares are subject to a two-year holding period, which commenced at the end of their respective vesting period. These vested shares will be released and issued into shares of common stock at the end of their respective two-year holding period, the last of which will end by March 31, 2025. The remaining shares of 222,140 that have fully vested but not yet released are related to the 2022 LTI performance-based RSU grants at target of 102,145 shares and the 2022 Annual Incentive Deferral grants of 119,995 shares, and will be released in the first quarter of 2025 with the finalization of 2024 results. Based on actual achievement in the 2022 LTI performance-based RSU grants, an additional 31,815 shares that are not included in the RSUs outstanding at December 31, 2024 will be issued in the first quarter of 2025. If maximum performance is achieved pursuant to the 2023 and 2024 LTI performance-based RSU grants, an additional 80,789 shares in total may be issued by the Company at the end of the three-year performance periods. The Company granted 374,207, 398,655, and 338,500 shares, including the performance factor adjustments for performance RSUs, for the year ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted stock units granted in 2024 was $80.82. Due to the acquisition of Atlantic Capital, effective March 1, 2022, a total of 55,736 RSUs were assumed by the Company. Compensation expense of $27.3 million, $34.0 million, and $31.7 million was recorded in 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

As of December 31, 2024, there was $22.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested RSUs granted at target under the plan. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.88 years as of December 31, 2024. The total fair value of RSUs that vested and were issued during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was approximately $33.1 million, $32.6 million, and $30.0 million, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company previously registered 363,825 shares of common stock in connection with the establishment of the 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. At the annual shareholders meeting on October 29, 2020, a proposal was adopted to increase the shares of common stock that may be issued under the plan by up to 1,400,000 shares. The plan is available to all employees who have attained age 21 and completed six months of service. The Company currently has approximately 1.3 million shares available for issuances under the plan. The price at which common stock may be purchased for each quarterly option period is the lesser of 95% of the common stock’s fair value on either the first or last day of the quarter. Employees purchased 38,026, 43,356 and 38,491 shares in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, through the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Company recognized $172,000, $163,000 and $165,000 in share-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Leases

Note 19—Leases

Our outstanding lease agreements are for real estate properties, including retail branch locations, operations and administration locations and stand-alone ATM locations. We have determined the number and dollar amount of our equipment leases is not material.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had operating ROU assets of $95.8 million and $100.3 million, respectively, and operating lease liabilities of $103.9 million and $108.3 million, respectively. We maintain operating leases on land and buildings for some of our operating centers, branch facilities and ATM locations. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms extending up to 20 years. The exercise of renewal options is based on the sole judgment of management and what they consider to be reasonably certain given the environment today. Factors in determining whether an option is reasonably certain of exercise include, but are not limited to, the value of leasehold improvements, the value of renewal rate compared to market rates, and the presence of factors that would cause a significant economic penalty to us if the option is not exercised. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and instead are recognized in lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company held a small number of finance leases assumed in connection to the CenterState merger completed in 2020. These leases are all real estate leases. Terms and conditions are similar to those real estate operating leases described above. Lease classifications from the acquired institutions were retained. At December 31, 2024, we did not maintain any leases with related parties, and determined that the number and dollar amount of our equipment leases was immaterial. As of December 31, 2024, we had one additional operating leases that has not yet commenced for approximately $28.2 million.

Equipment Lessor

SouthState has an Equipment Finance Group which goes to market through intermediaries. The Equipment Finance Group primarily focuses on serving the construction and utility segments. Lease terms typically range from 24 months to 120 months. At the end of the lease term, the lessee has the option to renew the lease, return the equipment, or purchase the equipment. In the event the equipment is returned, there is a remarketing agreement with the intermediary to sell the equipment. The Equipment Finance Group offers the following lease products: TRAC Leases, Split-TRAC Leases, and FMV Leases. Direct finance equipment leases are included in commercial and industrial loans on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The estimated residual values for direct finance leases are established by an approved intermediary who utilizes internally developed analyses, external studies, and/or third-party appraisals to establish a residual position. FMV and Split-TRAC leases have residual risk due to their unguaranteed residual value whereas TRAC leases have a guaranteed residual value. Expected credit losses on direct financing leases and the related estimated residual values are included in the Commercial and Industrial loan segment for the ACL.

Contingent Liabilities

Note 20—Contingent Liabilities

The Company has been named as defendant in various legal actions, arising from its normal business activities, in which damages in various amounts are claimed. The Company is also exposed to litigation risk related to the prior business activities of banks acquired through whole bank acquisitions. Although the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to such matters cannot be determined, in the opinion of management any such liability will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Cyber Incident Litigation. On April 3, 2024, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against the Bank in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division (the “Original Suit”). The plaintiff, who purports to represent the class of individuals harmed by alleged actions and/or omissions by the Bank in connection with the cybersecurity incident that was detected on February 6, 2024 (the “Cyber Incident”), asserts a variety of common law and statutory claims seeking monetary damages, injunctive relief and other related relief related to the potential unauthorized access by third parties to personal identifiable information. While the Original Suit has been voluntarily dismissed, the same plaintiffs as well as additional plaintiffs initiated litigation that names the Bank as a defendant. As of December 31, 2024, these cases have been consolidated into one putative class action, which remains pending against the Bank in the Circuit Court for Polk County, Florida (the “Cyber Incident Suit”).

At this time, neither the Bank nor the Company is able to reasonably estimate the amount or range of reasonably possible loss, if any, that might result from the Cyber Incident Suit. However, the Bank believes that it has defenses to the claims and intends to vigorously defend against the Cyber Incident Suit. Accordingly, no amounts have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the Cyber Incident Suit. The Company will continue to evaluate information as it becomes known and will record an estimate for losses at the time or times when it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Additional lawsuits and claims related to the Cyber Incident may be asserted by or on behalf of customers, shareholders, or others seeking damages or other related relief and additional inquiries from governmental agencies may be received or investigations by governmental agencies commenced.

Note 21—Related Party Transactions

During 2024 and 2023, the Company’s banking subsidiary had loan and deposit relationships with certain related parties, principally directors and executive officers, their immediate families and their business interests. All of these relationships were in the ordinary course of business at rates and terms substantially consistent with similar transactions with unrelated parties. Loans outstanding to this group (including immediate families and business interests) totaled $12.3 million and $9.4 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. During 2024, $7.6 million of new loans were made to this group while repayments of $4.7 million were received during the year. There were no additions or reductions in loans in 2024 related to changes in related parties. During 2023, $5.2 million of new loans were made to this group while repayments of $1.8 million were received during the year. There were also additions to related party loans of $652,000 due to the addition of new related parties in 2023, and reductions to related party loans of $488,000 due to the removal of related parties in 2023. Related party deposits totaled approximately $29.5 million and $31.9 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Note 22—Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Bank is a party to credit related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks, which are carried out in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of the Bank’s customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, or liquidity risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract amounts of these instruments express the extent of involvement the banking subsidiary has in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the following financial instruments, whose contract amounts represent credit risk, were outstanding:

See Note 1Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for discussion related to reserve for unfunded commitments.

Commitments to Extend Credit

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and personal guarantees. Unfunded commitments under commercial lines-of-credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines-of-credit are uncollateralized and usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn to the extent to which the banking subsidiary is committed.

Standby Letters of Credit and Financial Guarantees

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the banking subsidiary to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third-party. Those letters of credit and guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Essentially, all standby letters of credit have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Note 23—Fair Value

GAAP defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring and disclosing fair value. Fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions.

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Available for sale and trading securities, derivative contracts, mortgage loans held for sale, SBA servicing rights, and mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, we may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as impaired loans, OREO, bank properties held for sale, and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

FASB ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1

Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2

Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3

Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value.

Trading Securities

The fair values of trading securities are determined as follows: (1) for those securities that have traded prior to the date of the Consolidated Balance Sheets but have not settled (date of sale) until after such date, the sales price is used as the fair value; and, (2) for those securities which have not traded as of the date of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the fair value was determined by broker price indications of similar or same securities.

Investment Securities

Securities available for sale are valued on a recurring basis at quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ Stock Market. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities and debentures issued by government agencies or sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities, or U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Securities held to maturity are valued at quoted market prices or dealer quotes similar to securities available for sale. The carrying value of FHLB and FRB stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period earnings. The fair values of mortgage loans held for sale are based on commitments on hand from investors within the secondary market for loans with similar characteristics. As such, the fair value adjustments for mortgage loans held for sale are recurring Level 2.

Loans

We do not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan may be individually evaluated for expected credit losses if it no longer shares similar risk characteristics with other pooled loans. Once a loan is identified as an individually evaluated loan, management measures expected credit losses using estimated fair value methodologies. The fair value of the individually evaluated loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those individually evaluated loans not requiring an ACL represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. Individually evaluated loans, where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral, requires classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, we consider the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, we consider the individually evaluated loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”)

OREO, consisting of properties obtained through foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, is typically reported at fair value, determined on the basis of current appraisals, comparable sales, and other estimates of value obtained principally from independent sources, and adjusted for estimated selling costs (Level 2). However, OREO is considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because management has qualitatively applied a discount due to the size, supply of inventory, and the incremental discounts applied to the appraisals. Management also considers other factors, including changes in absorption rates, length of time the property has been on the market and anticipated sales values, which have resulted in adjustments to the collateral value estimates indicated in certain appraisals. At the time of foreclosure, any excess of the loan balance over the fair value of the real estate held as collateral is treated as a charge against the ACL. Gains or losses on sale and generally any subsequent adjustments to the value are recorded as a component of OREO Expense and Loan Related Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Bank Property Held for Sale

Bank property held for sale consists of locations that management has identified as no longer needed and reclassified from bank premises. These properties are typically reported at fair value, determined on the basis of current appraisals, comparable sales, and other estimates of value obtained principally from independent sources, and adjusted for estimated selling costs (Level 2). However, bank property held for sale is considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because management has qualitatively applied a discount due to the size, supply of inventory, restrictions and the incremental discounts applied to the appraisals. Management also considers other factors, including changes in absorption rates, length of time the property has been on the market and anticipated sales values, which have resulted in adjustments to the collateral value estimates indicated in certain appraisals. At the time a property is identified as held for sale, any excess of the book balance over the fair value of the real estate is treated as a charge against earnings. Gains or losses on sale and generally any subsequent write-downs to the value are recorded as a component in Other Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Fair value is estimated using pricing models of derivatives with similar characteristics or discounted cash flow models where future floating cash flows are projected and discounted back; and accordingly, these derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 26—Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information.

Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and SBA Servicing Asset

The estimated fair value of MSRs and SBA servicing asset is determined by estimating the present value of the asset’s future cash flows utilizing market-based prepayment rates, discount rates and other assumptions validated through industry surveys, third-party vendor analyses, and market sales data. The valuations for the servicing asset use assumptions market participants would use in determining fair value including market discount rates, prepayment speeds, servicing income, servicing costs, default rates and other market driven data, as well as the market’s perception of future interest rate movements. MSRs and SBA servicing asset are classified as Level 3.

Fair Value Option

The Company has elected the fair value option for mortgage loans held for sale primarily to ease the operational burden required to maintain hedge accounting for these loans. The Company also has opted for the fair value option for the SBA servicing asset, as it is the industry-preferred method for valuing such assets.

Changes in Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

When a determination is made to classify a financial instrument within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement. However, since Level 3 financial instruments typically include, in addition to the unobservable or Level 3 components, observable components (that is, components that are actively quoted and can be validated to external sources), the gains and losses below include changes in fair value due in part to observable factors that are part of the valuation methodology.

There were no changes in hierarchy classifications of Level 3 assets or liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2024. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the MSRs recorded at fair value on a recurring basis for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 is as follows. The changes in fair value of the MSRs are recorded in Mortgage Banking Income on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We used the following methods and assumptions in estimating our fair value disclosures for financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those models are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rates and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. The use of different methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The fair value estimates presented in the table below are based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. Such amounts have not been revalued for purposes of these consolidated financial statements since those dates and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and Cash Equivalents—The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. Cash and Cash Equivalents is considered Level 1.

Trading Securities—The fair values of trading securities are determined as follows: (1) for those securities that have traded prior to the date of the Consolidated Balance Sheets but have not settled (date of sale) until after such date, the sales price is used as the fair value; and, (2) for those securities which have not traded as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet, the fair value was determined by broker price indications of similar or same securities. The valuation of trading securities is considered Level 2.

Investment Securities—Securities available for sale are valued at quoted market prices or dealer quotes. Securities held to maturity are valued at quoted market prices or dealer quotes similar to securities available for sale. The carrying value of FHLB and FRB stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions and the carrying value of our investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries approximates fair value resulting in a Level 1 classification. Other investments with a non-readily determinable fair value are in a Level 3 classification. See Note 3Securities for additional information, as well as page F-63 regarding fair value.

Loans held for sale—The fair values disclosed for mortgage loans held for sale are based on commitments from investors for loans with similar characteristics and/or actual observable market prices provided by market participants. The fair value of the purchased guaranteed portion of the SBA loans is determined based upon their committed sales price, and actual observable market prices provided to secondary market participants from the originating banks who are selling their guaranteed portions of loans. As such, the fair value adjustments for mortgage and SBA loans held for sale in a Level 2 classification.

Loans—The fair value of loans is based on an exit price. To estimate an exit price, all loans (fixed and variable) are being valued with a discounted cash flow analyses for loans that includes our estimate of future credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loans. Fair values for certain mortgage loans (e.g., one-to-four family residential) and other consumer loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on our current rates offered for new loans of the same type, structure and credit quality. Fair values for other loans (e.g., commercial real estate and investment property mortgage loans, commercial and industrial loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses-using interest rates we currently offer for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for non-performing loans are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis. Loans are considered Level 3 classification.

Deposit Liabilities—The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest-bearing checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts, and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits. The methodology used for deposit liabilities results in a Level 2 classification.

Federal Funds Purchased and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase—The carrying amount of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings maturing within ninety days approximate their fair values and are considered Level 2 classification.

Other Borrowings—The fair value of other borrowings is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis on our current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of instruments. Other borrowings are considered Level 3.

Accrued Interest—The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value. The accrued interest receivable for trading securities, available for sale and held to maturity securities, and other investment securities and accrued interest payable for deposits and other borrowings are considered Level 2. The accrued interest receivable for loans is considered Level 3.

Derivative Financial Instruments—The fair value of derivative financial instruments (including interest rate swaps) is estimated using pricing models of derivatives with similar characteristics or discounted cash flow models where future floating cash flows are projected and discounted back. Derivative financial instruments are considered Level 2.

The estimated fair value, and related carrying amount, of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:

Note 24—Regulatory Matters

The Company is subject to regulations with respect to certain risk-based capital ratios. These risk-based capital ratios measure the relationship of capital to a combination of balance sheet and off-balance sheet risks. The values of both balance sheet and off-balance sheet items are adjusted based on the rules to reflect categorical credit risk. In addition to the risk-based capital ratios, the regulatory agencies have also established a leverage ratio for assessing capital adequacy. The leverage ratio is equal to Tier 1 capital divided by total consolidated on-balance sheet assets (minus amounts deducted from Tier 1 capital). The leverage ratio does not involve assigning risk weights to assets.

Under current regulations, the Company and the Bank are subject to a minimum required ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital (“CET1”) to risk-weighted assets of 4.5% and a minimum required ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6%. The minimum required leverage ratio is 4%. The minimum required total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio is 8%.

In order to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executives, a covered banking organization is also required to maintain a “capital conservation buffer” in addition to its minimum risk-based capital requirements. This buffer is required to consist solely of CET1, and the buffer applies to all three risk-based measurements (CET1, Tier 1 capital and total capital). The capital conservation buffer consists of an additional amount of Tier 1 common equity equal to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets.

The Bank is also subject to the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, which identifies five capital categories for insured depository institutions (well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized) and is based on specified thresholds for each of the three risk-based regulatory capital ratios (CET1, Tier 1 capital and total capital) and for the leverage ratio.

The following table presents actual and required capital ratios as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, for the Company and the Bank under the current capital rules. Capital levels required to be considered well capitalized are based upon prompt corrective action regulations.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the capital ratios of the Company and the Bank were in excess of the minimum regulatory requirements and exceeded the thresholds for the “well capitalized” regulatory classification.

With the implementation of ASU 2016-13 in January 2020, the Company recorded additional allowance for credit losses for loans of $54.4 million, deferred tax assets of $12.6 million, an additional reserve for unfunded commitments of $6.4 million and an adjustment to retained earnings of $44.8 million. Instead of recognizing the effects from ASU 2016-13 at adoption, the standard included a transitional method option for recognizing the adoption date effects on the Company’s regulatory capital calculations over a three-year phase-in. In March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the regulatory agencies provided an additional transitional method option of a two-year deferral for the start of the three-year phase-in of the recognition of the adoption date effects of ASU 2016-13 along with an option to defer the current impact on regulatory capital calculations of ASU 2016-13 during the first two years (“5-year method”). Under this 5-year method, the Company would recognize an estimate of the previous incurred loss method for determining the allowance for credit losses in regulatory capital calculations and the difference from the CECL method would be deferred for two years. After two years, the effects from adoption date and the deferral difference from the first two years of applying CECL would be phased-in over three years using the straight-line method. The regulatory rules provided a one-time opportunity at the end of the first quarter of 2020 for covered banking organizations to choose its transition option for CECL. The Company chose the 5-year method and is deferring the recognition of the effects from adoption date and the CECL difference from the first two years of application. This amount was fixed as of December 31, 2021, and that amount began the three-year phase out in the first quarter of 2022 with the final 25% being phased out in 2024.

In addition, the Company must adhere to various U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) regulatory guidelines including required minimum capital to maintain their HUD approved status. Failure to comply with the HUD guidelines could result in withdrawal of this certification. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with HUD guidelines. The Company is also subject to various capital requirements by secondary market investors.

*    As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, counterparties provided $53.9 million and $45.2 million, respectively, of cash collateral to the Company to secure swap asset positions that were not centrally cleared, which is included in Interest-bearing Deposits within Total Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Counterparties also pledged $30.4 million and $47.8 million in investment securities to secure swap asset positions that were not centrally cleared. The Company provided $1.9 million to counterparties to secure swap positions that were not centrally cleared as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Balance Sheet Fair Value Hedge

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company maintained loan swaps, with an aggregate notional amount of $3.9 million and $9.2 million, respectively, accounted for as a fair value hedge. The amortized cost basis of the loans being hedged were $3.8 million and $9.7 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. This derivative protects us from interest rate risk caused by changes in the SOFR curve in relation to a certain designated fixed rate loan. The derivative converts the fixed rate loan to a floating rate. Settlement occurs in any given period where there is a difference in the stated fixed rate and variable rate and the difference is recorded in net interest income. The fair value of this hedge is recorded in either other assets or in other liabilities depending on the position of the hedge with the offset recorded in loans.

Non-designated Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

Customer Swap

The Company maintains interest rate swap contracts with loan customers of respondent bank customers of the Correspondent Banking Division, in addition to loan customers of the Bank, that are classified as non-designated hedges and are not speculative in nature. These agreements are designed to convert customers’ variable rate loans with the Company and respondent bank customers to fixed rate. These interest rate swaps are executed with loan customers to facilitate a respective risk management strategy and allow the customer to pay a fixed rate of interest to the Company. These interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by executing offsetting interest rate swaps with unrelated market counterparties to minimize the net risk exposure to the Company resulting from the transactions and allow the Company to receive a variable rate of interest. The interest rate swaps pay and receive interest based on a one-month SOFR floating rate plus a credit spread, with payments being calculated on the notional amount. The interest rate swaps are settled monthly with varying maturities.

The variation margin settlement payment and the related derivative instruments fair value are considered a single unit of account for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Depending on the net position of the swaps with LCH and CME, the fair value, net of the variation margin, is reported in Derivative Assets or Derivative Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the expense or income attributable to the variation margin for the centrally cleared swaps with LCH and CME is reported in Noninterest Income, specifically within Correspondent and Capital Markets Income. The daily settlement of the derivative exposure does not change or reset the contractual terms of the instrument.

As the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the interest rate swaps had an aggregate notional amount of approximately $25.2 billion and $22.6 billion, respectively. At December 31, 2024, the fair value of the interest rate swap derivatives is recorded in Other Assets at $160.3 million in Other Liabilities at $878.0 million. The fair value of derivative assets at December 31, 2024 was reduced by $719.4 million in variation margin payments applicable to swaps centrally cleared through LCH and CME. At December 31, 2023, the fair value of the interest rate swap derivatives was recorded in Other Assets at $169.0 million and Other Liabilities at $803.5 million. The fair value of derivative liabilities at December 31, 2023 was reduced by $635.3 million in variation margin payments applicable to swaps centrally cleared through LCH and CME. All changes in fair value are recorded through earnings within Correspondent and Capital Markets Income, a component of Noninterest Income on the Consolidated Statements of Net Income. There was a net gain of $645,000 and $596,000 recorded on these derivatives for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These derivative transactions have collateral requirements, both at the inception of the trade and as the value of each derivative position changes. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we provided $272.3 million and $251.5 million of cash collateral to the counterparty which the Company has the right to reclaim and is included in Cash and Cash Equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Deposits in Other Financial Institutions (Restricted Cash). The Company also provided $90.4 million and $104.1 million in investment securities at market value as collateral on the counterparty, which is included in Investment Securities – Available for Sale. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, counterparties provided $53.9 million and $45.2 million of cash collateral to the Company to secure swap asset positions that were not centrally cleared which the Company has the obligation to return and is included in Interest-bearing Deposits within Total Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Balance Sheet Economic Hedge

During the third quarter of 2023, management began executing a series of short-term interest rate hedges to address monthly accrual mismatches related to the Company’s Assumable Rate Conversion (“ARC”) program and its transition from LIBOR to SOFR after June 30, 2023. The Company is required to execute the correspondent side of its back-to-back swaps with customers with the central clearinghouses (CME or LCH). Term SOFR was not available to execute through CME and LCH, and therefore, management elected to convert to the CME-eligible daily SOFR. Because many of the respondent bank customers converted to Term SOFR, this created interest rate basis risk. To address this risk, monthly interest rate hedges were executed to minimize the impact of accrual mismatches between the monthly Term SOFR used by the customer and the daily SOFR rates used by the central clearinghouses.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company maintained an aggregate notional amount of $3.1 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively, in short-term interest rate hedges that were accounted for as economic hedges. As noted above, the derivatives protect the Company from interest rate risk caused by changes in the term and daily SOFR accrual mismatches. The fair value of these hedges is recorded in either Other Assets or in Other Liabilities depending on the position of the hedge with the offset recorded in Correspondent Banking and Capital Market Income, a component of Noninterest Income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. There was a net gain of $36,000 and net loss of $5,000 for these derivatives for the year ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Foreign Exchange

The Company may enter into foreign exchange contracts with customers to accommodate their need to convert certain foreign currencies into U.S. Dollars. To offset the foreign exchange risk, the Company may enter into substantially identical agreements with an unrelated market counterparty to hedge these foreign exchange contracts. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no outstanding contracts or agreements related to foreign currency. There was no gain or loss recorded related to the foreign exchange derivative for the years ended December 31, 2024 or 2023.

Mortgage Banking

The Company also has derivatives contracts that are not classified as accounting hedges to mitigate risks related to the Company’s mortgage banking activities. These instruments may include financial forwards, futures contracts, and options written and purchased, which are used to hedge MSRs; while forward sales commitments are typically used to hedge the mortgage pipeline. Such instruments derive their cash flows, and therefore their values, by reference to an underlying instrument, index or referenced interest rate. The Company does not elect hedge accounting treatment for any of these derivative instruments and as a result, changes in fair value of the instruments (both gains and losses) are recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income in Mortgage Banking Income.

Mortgage Servicing Rights (“MSRs”)

Derivatives contracts related to MSRs are used to help offset changes in fair value and are written in amounts referred to as notional amounts. Notional amounts provide a basis for calculating payments between counterparties but do not represent amounts to be exchanged between the parties and are not a measure of financial risk. On December 31, 2024, the Company had derivative financial instruments outstanding with notional amounts totaling $129.0 million related to MSRs, compared to $142.0 million on December 31, 2023. The estimated net fair value of the open contracts related to the MSRs was recorded as a loss of $1.8 million at December 31, 2024, compared to a gain of $2.6 million at December 31, 2023.

The following table presents the Company’s notional value of forward sale commitments and the fair value of those obligations along with the fair value of the mortgage loan pipeline.

The portfolio of residential mortgages serviced for others, which is not included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $6.7 billion and $6.6 billion at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Servicing loans for others generally consists of collecting mortgage payments, maintaining escrow accounts and disbursing payments to investors. The amounts of contractually specified servicing fees earned by the Company during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $16.8 million and $16.5 million, respectively. Servicing fees are recorded in Mortgage Banking Income in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, MSRs were $89.8 million and $85.2 million, respectively, on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. MSRs are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a component of Mortgage Banking Income in the Consolidated Statements of Net Income. The market value adjustments related to MSRs recorded in Mortgage Banking Income for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were gain of $4.1 million and loss of $1.3 million, respectively. The Company has used various free standing derivative instruments to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in fair value resulting from changes in market value adjustments, in addition to changes in valuation inputs and assumptions related to MSRs.

The following table presents the changes in the fair value of MSRs and its offsetting hedge.

The fair value of MSRs is highly sensitive to changes in assumptions and is determined by estimating the present value of the asset’s future cash flows utilizing market-based prepayment rates, discount rates and other assumptions validated through industry surveys, third-party vendor analyses, and market sales data. Changes in prepayment speed assumptions have the most significant impact on the fair value of MSRs. Generally, as interest rates decline, mortgage loan prepayments accelerate due to increased refinance activity, which results in a decrease in the fair value of the MSR. Measurement of fair value is limited to the conditions existing and the assumptions utilized as of a particular point in time, and those assumptions may not be appropriate if applied at a different time. See Note 23—Fair Value for additional information regarding fair value.

The characteristics and sensitivity analysis of the MSRs are included in the following table.

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. Changes in fair value based on changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the residential MSRs is calculated without changing any other assumption, while in reality changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which may either magnify or counteract the effect of the change. The derivative instruments utilized by the Company would serve to reduce the estimated impacts to fair value included in the table above.

Whole mortgage loan sales were $1.1 billion and $859.9 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, of which $776.7 million and $679.8 million, respectively, or 72.6% and 79.1%, respectively, were sold with servicing rights retained by the Company.

The Company retains no beneficial interests in these sales but may retain the servicing rights for the loans sold. The risks related to the sold loans with the retained servicing rights due to a representation or warranty violation such as noncompliance with eligibility or servicing requirements, or customer fraud, that should have been identified in a loan file review are disclosed in Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, under the “Loans Held for Sale” section. The Company is obligated to subsequently repurchase a loan if such representation or warranty violation is identified by the purchaser. The aggregated principal balances of loans repurchased for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were approximately $1.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively. There were approximately $28,000 and $8,000 in loss reimbursement and settlement claims paid during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Mortgage loans held for sale have historically been comprised of residential mortgage loans awaiting sale in the secondary market, which generally settle in 15 to 45 days. At December 31, 2024, mortgage loans held for sale were $98.1 million, compared to $50.9 million at December 31, 2023. Please see Note 23—Fair Value, under the “Fair Value Option”, section in this Form 10-K for summary of the fair value and the unpaid principal balance of loans held for sale and the changes in fair value of these loans.

Note 28—Segment Reporting

The Company, through the Bank, provides a broad range of financial services to individuals and companies primarily in South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Georgia and Virginia. These services include, but not limited to, demand, time and savings deposits; lending and credit card servicing; ATM processing; mortgage banking services; correspondent banking services and wealth management and trust services. The Company’s operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on an organization-wide basis. Accordingly, the Company’s banking and finance operations are not considered by management to constitute more than one reportable operating segment. This single segment is the General Banking Unit.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Executive Committee. The CODM generally meets monthly and membership includes the senior executive management team including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Strategy Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Risk Officer; and other executives.

The CODM assesses performance of the General Banking Unit using a variety of figures, metrics and key performance indicators. However, the CODM primarily utilizes net income and Net Interest Margin (“NIM”) to make business decisions. The CODM monitors these profitability measures at each meeting, and is regularly featured in various investor presentations, earnings releases, and other internal management reports. These performance and profitability measures influence business decisions and allocation of resources within the General Banking Unit.

The table below provides information about the General Banking Unit. The most significant expenses to the General Banking Unit are deposit and other borrowing interest expense as well as employee compensation.

Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]

Cybersecurity risk management is an integral part of our overall enterprise risk management system. We have a cross-departmental approach to identifying, assessing, and managing cybersecurity risk, including input from employees and our Board of Directors (the "Board"). The Board and its Risk Committee and Audit Committee (respectively, the “Risk Committee” and the “Audit Committee”), as well as senior management in, among other areas, the information security, information technology, operations, and risk management (including enterprise and operational risk) areas, devote significant resources to cybersecurity and risk management processes to adapt to the changing cybersecurity landscape and to identify and respond to cybersecurity threats and incidents in a timely and effective manner. Our cybersecurity risk management program leverages the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) framework, which organizes cybersecurity risks into five categories: identify, protect, detect, respond and recover. We regularly assess the threat landscape and take a holistic view of cybersecurity risks, with a layered cybersecurity strategy based on prevention, identification, and remediation. Our information technology and information security areas review enterprise risk management-level cybersecurity risks continually, and key cybersecurity risks are incorporated into the Company’s Enterprise Risk Management Framework that supports its Risk Appetite Statement. In addition, we have a set of Company-wide policies and procedures concerning cybersecurity matters, such as policies related to encryption standards, antivirus protection, remote access, multifactor authentication, confidential information, and the use of the internet, social media, email and wireless devices. These policies go through an internal review process and are approved by appropriate members of management. On an annual basis, the Board approves the Company’s Information Security Policy and Program which provides a layered approach to cybersecurity, and includes administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the security, confidentiality, and integrity of customer information in accordance with applicable law.

Cybersecurity Risk Board of Directors Oversight [Text Block]

The Board has ultimate oversight responsibility for the Company’s risk management and recognizes the importance of protecting the data provided by the Company’s customers and employees and devotes considerable time and attention to overseeing the strategies the Company employs to protect our data and systems and to mitigate against cybersecurity risk. A cybersecurity expert chairs the Risk Committee and provides technology-related insight and guidance to the Company. As part of the Risk Committee’s responsibility for monitoring key business and regulatory risks, the Risk Committee receives from both our Chief Information Officer and CISO quarterly reports and materials which include a review of cybersecurity and information technology key risk indicators, test results and related remediation, and any recent cybersecurity threats or incidents and how the Company is managing those threats or incidents. The Risk Committee also periodically reviews reports on the threat environment, vulnerability assessments, results of penetration testing, and potential cybersecurity and data privacy incidents, as well as information on ongoing employee training relating to data privacy and cybersecurity and how to protect data against cyber threats. Further, on a quarterly basis, our CRO presents to the Risk Committee updates from our Director of Enterprise and Operational Management on the Company’s business continuity program, which covers, among other things, outages and incidences and disaster recovery and business continuity testing. The Risk Committee also approves the annual risk assessment required by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Moreover, the CISO follows a risk-based escalation process to notify the Risk Committee outside of the cycle of regular updates when management has identified an emerging risk or material issue related to cybersecurity. The Risk Committee also reports material cybersecurity risks to the full Board, based on our CISO’s assessment of risk. In addition, the Audit Committee reviews reports of the Company’s internal audit department’s periodic audits of our information security area and various components thereof.

Cybersecurity Risk Role of Management [Text Block]

The Company’s Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) is responsible for developing and implementing our information security program and reporting on cybersecurity matters to the Company’s Chief Risk Officer (“CRO”), who oversees and supervises the risk function, including the information security, compliance, legal, operational (which includes business continuity, model risk, and third party risk functions) and enterprise risk areas. Our CISO has over 20 years of experience in information technology leadership, eight years of which is experience in leading information security oversight, and others on our information security team have various information security degrees and certifications within applicable disciplines. Our CISO receives reports from our information security team on a regular basis and monitors the prevention, detection, mitigation and remediation of cybersecurity incidents.

Our information security team regularly monitors alerts and meets to discuss threat levels, trends and remediation. The team also regularly collects data on cybersecurity threats and risk areas and conducts an annual risk assessment. Further, we conduct periodic external and internal control validations to assess our processes and procedures and the threat landscape, and we maintain a vulnerability management program designed to identify vulnerabilities and coordinate remediation efforts for any identified vulnerabilities in the environment. We regularly test defenses by performing simulations and drills at both a technical level (including through penetration tests) and by reviewing our operational policies and procedures with third-party experts. These tests and assessments are useful tools for maintaining a robust cybersecurity program to protect our investors, customers, employees, and vendors. Results of these ongoing activities are reported quarterly to management through the Cyber and Information Technology Steering Committee. In addition, we periodically perform simulations and tabletop exercises at the management level and incorporate external resources and advisors as needed. All employees are required to complete information security training at least once every year, and we require employees in certain roles to complete additional role-based, specialized cybersecurity trainings.

We have continued to expand investments in information security and cybersecurity, including providing additional end-user training, using layered defenses, identifying and protecting critical assets, strengthening monitoring and alerting, and engaging third-party cybersecurity experts. For example, in 2023, the Bank engaged a third-party cybersecurity consultant to conduct a review of the Company’s information security and cybersecurity program in relation to overall threat trends and specific factors affecting the Bank’s cyber risk profile, and in 2024, a third-party cybersecurity consultant reviewed the Company’s vulnerability management program These reviews assisted management in enhancing the Company’s cyber-risk reduction efforts, including updating Bank’s cybersecurity strategy and program. The Company also maintains cybersecurity insurance provided by carriers that can provide additional technical, legal, and consultation services in the event of a security event that requires additional staff or expertise, including attorneys, forensic accountants, and public relations professionals, among others.

In addition to assessing our own cybersecurity preparedness, we also identify, evaluate and manage cybersecurity risks associated with use of third-party vendors and service providers. Our third-party risk function conducts an annual review of third-party hosted applications with a specific focus on any sensitive data shared with third parties. Our information security area regularly reviews third-party vendors and service providers, including their System and Organization Controls (SOC) 1 or SOC 2 report. If a third-party vendor or service provider is not able to provide a SOC 1 or SOC 2 report, we take additional steps to assess its cybersecurity preparedness and assess our relationship on that basis. The frequency and granularity of our review of third-party vendors and service providers is based on an assigned risk rating for each third-party vendor and service provider. Our assessment of risks associated with use of third-party vendors and service providers is part of our overall cybersecurity risk management framework.

Unless otherwise mentioned or unless the context requires otherwise, references herein to “SouthState,” the “Company” “we,” “us,” “our” or similar references mean SouthState Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. References to the “Bank” means SouthState Bank, National Association.

Basis of Consolidation

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and other entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Assets held by the Company in trust are not assets of the Company and are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Reportable Segment

Reportable Segment

The Company, through the Bank, provides a broad range of financial services to individuals and companies primarily in South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Georgia and Virginia. These services include, but not limited to, demand, time and savings deposits; lending and credit card servicing; ATM processing; mortgage banking services; correspondent banking services and wealth management and trust services. The Company’s operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on an organization wide basis. Accordingly, the Company’s banking and finance operations are not considered by management to constitute more than one reportable operating segment.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses for loans and investment securities held to maturity, fair value of financial instruments, fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations, evaluating impairment of investment securities, goodwill and other intangible impairment tests and valuation of deferred tax assets.

In connection with the determination of the allowance for credit losses, management has identified specific loans as well as adopted a policy of providing amounts for loan valuation purposes which are not identified with any specific loan but are derived from models based on macroeconomic factors and forecasts. Management believes that the allowance for credit losses is appropriate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions or reductions to the allowance for credit losses may be necessary based on changes in economic forecasts. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of the examination process, periodically review the banking subsidiary’s allowance for credit losses. Such agencies may require additions to the allowance for credit losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Bank provides agribusiness, commercial, and residential and other consumer loans to customers primarily throughout South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Virginia and Georgia. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of our borrowers’ abilities to honor their contracts is dependent upon economic conditions within South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Virginia, Georgia and the surrounding regions.

The Company considers concentrations of credit to exist when, pursuant to regulatory guidelines, the amounts loaned to a multiple number of borrowers engaged in similar business activities which would cause them to be similarly impacted by general economic conditions represents 25% of total Tier 1 capital plus regulatory adjusted allowance for credit losses of the Company, or $1.2 billion at December 31, 2024. Based on this criteria, we had seven such credit concentrations at December 31, 2024, including loans secured by 1st mortgage 1-4 family owner occupied residential property (including condos and home equity lines) of $9.5 billion, loans to lessors of nonresidential buildings (except mini warehouses) of $5.5 billion, loans secured by business assets including accounts receivable, inventory and equipment of $3.0 billion, loans to lessors of residential buildings (investment properties and multi-family) of $2.9 billion, loans secured by jumbo (original loans greater than $766,550) 1st mortgage 1-4 family owner occupied residential property of $2.7 billion, loans secured by owner occupied office buildings (including medical office buildings) of $2.0 billion, and loans secured by owner occupied nonresidential buildings (excluding office buildings) of $1.9 billion. The risk for these loans and for all loans is managed collectively through the use of credit underwriting practices developed and updated over time. The loss estimate for these loans is determined using our standard ACL methodology.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents, for the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statements of cash flows, include the following items disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Balance Sheet; Cash and Due from Banks, Federal funds sold and Interest-earnings Deposits with Banks and Deposits in Other Financial Institutions (Restricted Cash). The restricted cash is used as collateral on the counterparty for the interest rate swap contracts with loan customers of respondent bank customers of the Correspondent Banking Division. Due from bank balances are maintained at other financial institutions. Federal funds sold are generally purchased and sold for one-day periods, but may, from time to time, have longer terms.

The Company enters from time to time into purchases of securities under agreements to resell substantially identical securities. When the Company enters into such repurchase agreements, the securities purchased under agreements to resell generally consist of U.S. government sponsored entities and agency mortgage backed securities. The Company may elect to use other asset classes at its discretion. It is the Company’s practice to take possession of securities purchased under agreements to resell. The securities are delivered into the Company’s account maintained by a third party custodian designated by the Company under a written custodial agreement that explicitly recognizes the Company’s interest in the securities. The Company monitors the market value of the underlying securities, including accrued interest, which collateralizes the related receivable on agreements to resell. These agreements were considered to be cash equivalents with maturities within less than one year. The Company held no securities under agreements to resell at December 31, 2024.

Trading Securities

Trading Securities

Through its Correspondent Banking Department and the Bank’s wholly owned broker dealer SouthState|Duncan-Williams, the Company purchases trading securities and subsequently sells them to their customers to take advantage of market opportunities, when presented, for short-term revenue gains. Securities purchased for this portfolio are primarily municipals, treasuries, mortgage-backed agency, and SBA securities and are held for short periods of time. This portfolio is carried at fair value and realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in trading securities revenue, a component of Correspondent Banking and Capital Market Income in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Investment Securities

Investment Securities

Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held to maturity” and carried at amortized cost. Securities not classified as held to maturity, including equity securities with readily determinable fair values, are classified as “available for sale” and carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in Other Comprehensive Income.

Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using methods approximating the interest method over the terms of the securities. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities available for sale are determined using the specific identification method.

In accordance with as ASC Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Available for sale Debt Securities, Management evaluates securities for impairment where there has been a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis of a security to determine whether there is a credit loss associated with the decline in fair value on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. For securities designated as held for sale, credit losses are calculated individually, rather than collectively, using a discounted cash flow method, whereby management compares the present value of expected cash flows with the amortized cost basis of the security. The credit loss component would be recognized through the provision for credit losses. Consideration is given to (1) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer including looking at default and delinquency rates, (2) the outlook for receiving the contractual cash flows of the investments, (3) the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (4) our intent to hold the security as well as there being no requirement to sell the security, (5) the anticipated outlook for changes in the general level of interest rates, (6) credit ratings, (7) third-party guarantees, and (8) collateral values. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition, and the issuer’s anticipated ability to pay the contractual cash flows of the investments. The Company performed an analysis that determined that the following securities have a zero expected credit loss: U.S. Treasury Securities, Agency-Backed Securities including securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, FHLB, FFCB and SBA. All of the U.S. Treasury and Agency-Backed Securities have the full faith and credit backing of the United States Government or one of its agencies. Municipal securities and all other securities that do not have a zero expected credit loss are evaluated quarterly to determine whether there is a credit loss associated with a decline in fair value. All debt securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2024 continue to perform as scheduled and we do not believe there is a credit loss or a provision for credit losses is necessary. Also, as part of our evaluation of our intent and ability to hold investments, we consider our investment strategy, cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy and interest rate risk position. We do not currently intend to sell the securities within the portfolio and it is not more-likely-than-not that we will be required to sell the debt securities.

Other investments include stock acquired for regulatory purposes, investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and other nonmarketable investment securities. Stock acquired for regulatory purposes include Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) stock and Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) stock. These securities do not have a readily determinable fair value because their ownership is restricted and they lack a market for trading. As a result, these securities are carried at cost and are periodically evaluated for impairment. Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries represent a minority investment in SCBT Capital Trust I, SCBT Capital Trust II, SCBT Capital Trust III, TSB Statutory Trust I, SAVB Capital Trust I, SAVB Capital Trust II, Southeastern Bank Financial Statutory Trust I, Southeastern Bank Financial Statutory Trust II, Provident Community Bancshares Capital Trust I, FCRV Statutory Trust I, Community Capital Statutory Trust I, CSBC Statutory Trust I, and Provident Community Bancshares Capital Trust II. These investments are recorded at cost and the Company receives quarterly dividend payments on these investments. Other nonmarketable investment securities consist of Business Development Corporation stock and stock in Banker’s Banks. These investments also do not have a readily determinable fair value because their ownership is restricted and they lack a market for trading. As a result, these securities are carried at cost and are periodically evaluated for impairment.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans Held for Sale

The Company sells residential mortgages to government sponsored entities (“GSEs”) and third-party investors, who may issue securities backed by pools of such loans. The Company retains no beneficial interests in these sales, but may retain the servicing rights for the loans sold. The Company is obligated to subsequently repurchase a loan if the purchaser discovers a representation or warranty violation such as noncompliance with eligibility or servicing requirements, or customer fraud, that should have been identified in a loan file review.  Mortgage loans held for sale are accounted for at fair value on an individual loan basis. Estimated fair value is determined on the basis of existing forward commitments, or the current market value of similar loans.  Changes in the fair value, and realized gains and losses on the sales of mortgage loans, are reported in Mortgage Banking Income, a component of Noninterest Income in our Consolidated Statements of Income. Interest income on loans held for sale is reported in Loans, including fees, a component of Interest Income in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company purchases the guaranteed portions of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans from third-party originators. The guaranteed portions of SBA loans purchased by the Company are aggregated into pools with similar characteristics to create a security representing an interest in those pools through the SBA’s fiscal transfer agent (”FTA”). Gains or losses on the sale of the securities and individual guaranteed portions of loans are both recorded in Correspondent Banking and Capital Markets Income in Noninterest Income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Sales of the securities are accounted for as of the settlement date, which is the date the Company surrenders control over the transferred assets. The guaranteed portion of the SBA loans that have not been pooled or sold, are reported as Loans Held for Sale on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet and recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The fair value of the purchased guaranteed portion of the SBA loans is determined based upon their committed sales price, and actual observable market price provided to secondary market participants from the originating banks who are selling their guaranteed portions of loans.

Loans

Loans

Loans that management has originated and has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay off generally are reported at their unpaid principal balances, less unearned income and net of any deferred loan fees and costs. Unearned income on installment loans is recognized as income over the terms of the loans by methods that approximate the interest method. Interest on other loans is calculated by using the simple interest method on daily balances of the principal amount outstanding.

Premiums and discounts on purchased loans and non-refundable loan origination and commitment fees, net of direct costs of originating or acquiring loans, are deferred and recognized over the contractual or estimated lives of the related loans as an adjustment to the loans’ constant effective yield, which is included in interest income on loans.

We place loans on nonaccrual once reasonable doubt exists about the collectability of all principal and interest due. Generally, this occurs when principal or interest is 90 days or more past due, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection and excludes factored receivables. For factored receivables, which are commercial trade credits rather than promissory notes, the Company’s practice, in most cases, is to charge-off unpaid recourse receivables when they become 240 days past due from the invoice due date and the non-recourse receivables when they become 240 days past due from the statement due date. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

A loan is evaluated individually for loss when it is on nonaccrual and has a net book balance over $1 million. Large pools of homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for loss and reserved at the pool level. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as nonaccrual, provided that management expects to collect all amounts due, including interest accrued at the contractual interest rate for the period of delay.

Modifications to Troubled Borrowers

Modifications to Troubled Borrowers

As of January 1, 2023, the Company adopted and applied prospectively ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, that requires the elimination of designation of loans as TDRs. Management measures expected credit losses over the contractual term of a loan. When determining the contractual term, the Company considers expected prepayments but is precluded from considering expected extensions, renewals, or modifications. Longstanding TDR accounting rules were replaced as of January 1, 2023 with ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (See Recent Accounting and Regulatory Pronouncements section of this Note 1). In accordance with the adoption of ASU 2022-02, any loans modified to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty are reviewed by the Bank to determine if an interest rate reduction, a term extension, an other-than-insignificant payment delay, a principal forgiveness, or any combination of these has occurred.

Allowance for Credit Losses ("ACL")

Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”)

The Company complies with the requirements of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, sometimes referred to herein as ASU 2016-13. Topic 326 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses; ASU No. 2019-05, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses; and ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments. This standard applies to all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off balance sheet credit exposures, including loans, investment securities and unfunded commitments.

ACL – Investment Securities

Management uses a systematic methodology to determine its ACL for investment securities held to maturity. The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the held to maturity portfolio. Management considers the effects of past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts on the collectability of the loan portfolio. The Company’s estimate of its ACL involves a high degree of judgment; therefore, management’s process for determining expected credit losses may result in a range of expected credit losses. Management monitors the held to maturity portfolio to determine whether a valuation account should be recorded. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $2.3 billion of held to maturity securities and no related valuation account. As of December 31, 2024, the held to maturity portfolio consisted of U.S. Government Agency, U.S. Government Agency Residential and Commercial Mortgage-backed securities, and Small Business Administration loan-backed securities. At December 31, 2024, management does not believe that a fair value below amortized cost is due to credit related factors.

ASC Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Available for sale Debt Securities, changed the accounting for recognizing impairment on available for sale debt securities. Each quarter, management evaluates impairment where there has been a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis of a security to determine whether there is a credit loss associated with the decline in fair value. Management considers the nature of the collateral, potential future changes in collateral values, default rates, delinquency rates, third-party guarantees, credit ratings, interest rate changes since purchase, volatility of the security’s fair value and historical loss information for financial assets secured with similar collateral among other factors. Credit losses are calculated individually, rather than collectively, using a discounted cash flow method, whereby management compares the present value of expected cash flows with the amortized cost basis of the security. The credit loss component would be recognized through the Provision for Credit Losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Management excludes the accrued interest receivable balance from the amortized cost basis in measuring expected credit losses on the investment securities and does not record an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable as the Company reverses any accrued interest against interest income if an investment is placed on nonaccrual status. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the accrued interest receivables for investment securities recorded in Other Assets were $24.2 million and $26.5 million, respectively.

ACL – Loans

The ACL for loans held for investment reflects management’s estimate of credit losses that will result from the inability of our borrowers to make required loan payments. The Company makes adjustments to the ACL by recording a provision for or recovery of credit losses through earnings. Loans charged off are recorded as reductions to the ACL on the balance sheet and subsequent recoveries of loan charge-offs are recorded as increases to the ACL when they are received.

Management uses systematic methodologies to determine its ACL for loans held for investment and certain off-balance-sheet credit exposures. The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loan portfolio. Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, credit quality, or term, as well as for changes in macroeconomic conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, gross domestic product, property values, or other relevant factors. The Company’s estimate of its ACL involves a high degree of judgment; therefore, management’s process for determining expected losses may result in a range of expected losses. The Company’s ACL recorded in the balance sheet reflects management’s best estimate within the range of expected losses. The Company recognizes in net income the amount needed to adjust the ACL for management’s current estimate of expected losses.

The Company’s ACL is calculated using collectively evaluated and individually evaluated loans. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans with similar risk characteristics are grouped into homogenous segments, or pools, for analysis. The Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) method is used for each loan in a pool, and the results are aggregated at the pool level. A probability of default and absolute loss given default are applied to a projective model of the loan’s cash flow while considering prepayment and principal curtailment effects. The analysis produces expected cash flows for each instrument in the pool by pairing loan-level term information (e.g., maturity date, payment amount, interest rate, etc.) with top-down pool assumptions (e.g., default rates and prepayment speeds). The Company has identified the following portfolio segments: Owner-Occupied Commercial Real Estate, Non-Owner Occupied Commercial Real Estate, Multifamily, Municipal, Commercial and Industrial, Commercial Construction and Land Development, Residential Construction, Residential Senior Mortgage, Residential Junior Mortgage, Revolving Mortgage, and Consumer and Other.

In determining the proper level of the ACL, management has determined that the loss experience of the Bank provides the best basis for its assessment of expected credit losses. The Company therefore used its own historical credit loss experience by each loan segment over an economic cycle, while excluding loss experience from certain acquired institutions (i.e., failed banks). For most of the segment models for collectively evaluated loans, the Company incorporated two or more macroeconomic drivers using a statistical regression modeling methodology.

Management considers forward-looking information in estimating expected credit losses. The Company subscribes to a third-party service which provides a quarterly macroeconomic baseline outlook and alternative scenarios for the United States economy. The baseline, along with the evaluation of alternative scenarios, is used by management to determine the best estimate within the range of expected credit losses. Management has evaluated the appropriateness of the reasonable and supportable forecast scenarios and has made adjustments as needed. For the contractual term that extends beyond the reasonable and supportable forecast period, the Company reverts to the long term average loss rate within four quarters using a straight-line approach. The Company generally uses an eight-quarter forecast and four-quarter reversion period. The forecast period and scenarios used are reviewed on a quarterly basis and may be adjusted based on management's view of the current economic conditions and level of predictability the forecast can provide.

While quantitative allowance methodologies strive to reflect all risk factors, any estimate involves assumptions and uncertainties resulting in some level of imprecision. Imprecision exists in the estimation process due to the inherent time lag between obtaining information, performing the calculation, as well as variations between estimates and actual outcomes. As a result, amounts determined under the methodologies described above are adjusted by management to consider the potential impact of other qualitative factors not captured in the quantitative model adjustments which include, but are not limited to, the following: imprecision or conditions not captured in economic scenario assumptions, emerging risks related to either changes in the internal or external environment that are affecting specific portfolios, trends in loan or portfolio level credit metrics not captured in quantitative modeling, or model imprecision adjustments. The consideration of these items results in adjustments to allowance amounts included in the Company’s allowance for credit losses for each loan portfolio.

During 2024, updates were made to certain estimates used in the Company’s current expected credit loss model, the most significant of which included expanding the number of macroeconomic variables used in the quantitative modes, incorporating more granular loss data, and adjusting the reasonable and supportable forecast period from one to two years. Management continues to update and expand our qualitative framework to further address factors not captured in the quantitative process.

The Company’s ACL is calculated using collectively evaluated and individually evaluated loans. Even though portions of the allowance may be allocated to specific loans or pools of loans, the entire allowance is available for any credit that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.

When a loan no longer shares similar risk characteristics with its segment, the asset is assessed to determine whether it should be included in another pool or should be individually evaluated. The Company’s threshold for individually evaluated loans includes all non-accrual loans with a net book balance in excess of $1.0 million. Management will monitor the credit environment and make adjustments to this threshold in the future if warranted. Based on the threshold above, consumer financial assets will generally remain in pools unless they meet the dollar threshold. The expected credit losses on individually evaluated loans will be estimated based on discounted cash flow analysis unless the loan meets the criteria for use of the fair value of collateral, either by virtue of an expected foreclosure or through meeting the definition of collateral-dependent. Financial assets that have been individually evaluated can be returned to a pool for purposes of estimating the expected credit loss insofar as their credit profile improves and that the repayment terms were not considered to be unique to the asset.

Management measures expected credit losses over the contractual term of a loan. Effective January 1, 2023, the ACL includes expected losses on modifications of non-accrual loans over $1 million to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty estimated on an individual basis. Otherwise, a change to the ACL is not recorded upon modification because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance historical data.

For purchased credit-deteriorated, otherwise referred to herein as PCD, assets are defined as acquired individual financial assets (or acquired groups of financial assets with similar risk characteristics) that, as of the date of acquisition, have experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination, as determined by the Company’s assessment. The Company records acquired PCD loans by adding the expected credit losses (i.e., allowance for credit losses) to the purchase price of the financial assets rather than recording through the provision for credit losses in the income statement. The expected credit loss, as of the acquisition day, of a PCD loan is added to the allowance for credit losses. The non-credit discount or premium is the difference between the unpaid principal balance and the amortized cost basis as of the acquisition date. Subsequent to the acquisition date, the change in the ACL on PCD loans is recognized through the Provision for Credit Losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The non-credit discount or premium is accreted or amortized, respectively, into interest income over the remaining life of the PCD loan on a level-yield basis.

The Company follows its nonaccrual policy by reversing contractual interest income in the income statement when the Company places a loan on nonaccrual status. Therefore, management excludes the accrued interest receivable balance from the amortized cost basis in measuring expected credit losses on the portfolio and does not record an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the accrued interest receivable for loans recorded in Other Assets were $133.0 million and $127.0 million, respectively.

The Company has a variety of assets that have a component that qualifies as an off-balance sheet exposure. These primarily include undrawn portions of revolving lines of credit and standby letters of credit. The expected losses associated with these exposures within the unfunded portion of the expected credit loss will be recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. Management has determined that a majority of the Company’s off-balance sheet credit exposures are not unconditionally cancellable. Management completes funding studies based on historical data to estimate the percentage of unfunded loan commitments that will ultimately be funded to calculate the reserve for unfunded commitments. Management applies this funding rate, along with the loss factor rate determined for each pooled loan segment, to unfunded loan commitments, excluding unconditionally cancellable exposures and letters of credit, to arrive at the reserve for unfunded loan commitments. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the liability recorded for expected credit losses on unfunded commitments was $45.3 million and $56.3 million, respectively. The current adjustment to the ACL for unfunded commitments is recognized through the Provision for Credit Losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Other Real Estate Owned and Bank Property Held For Sale

Other Real Estate Owned and Bank Property Held For Sale

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) consists of properties obtained through foreclosure or through a deed in lieu of foreclosure in satisfaction of loans. The Company discloses former branch site assets as bank property held for sale and reports within Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Both OREO and bank property held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value and the fair value was determined on the basis of current valuations obtained principally from independent sources, adjusted for estimated selling costs. At the time of foreclosure or initial possession of collateral, for OREO, any excess of the loan balance over the fair value of the real estate held as collateral is treated as a charge against the ACL. At the time a bank property is no longer in service and is moved to held for sale, any excess of the current book value over fair value is recorded as an expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income in the merger and branch consolidation related expense line item. The property is then actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. Subsequent adjustments to the value for those being held for sale are described in the following paragraph.

The Company reports subsequent declines in the fair value of OREO and bank properties held for sale below the new cost basis through valuation adjustments. Significant judgments and complex estimates are required in estimating the fair value of these properties, and the period of time within which such estimates can be considered current is significantly shortened during periods of market volatility. In response to market conditions and other economic factors, management may utilize liquidation sales as part of its problem asset disposition strategy. As a result of the significant judgments required in estimating fair value and the variables involved in different methods of disposition, the net proceeds realized from sales transactions could differ significantly from the current valuations used to determine the fair value of these properties. Management reviews the value of these properties periodically and adjusts the values as appropriate. Revenue and expenses from OREO operations, as well as gains or losses on sales and any subsequent adjustments to the value, are recorded as OREO Expense and Loan Related Expense, a component of Noninterest Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Expenses related to bank property held for sale, as well as gains or losses on sales and any subsequent adjustments to the value, are recorded in Other Expenses, a component of Noninterest Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Business Combinations and Method of Accounting for Loans Acquired

Business Combinations and Method of Accounting for Loans Acquired

The Company accounts for its acquisitions under FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, which requires the use of the acquisition method of accounting. All identifiable assets acquired, including loans, are recorded at fair value, which now requires us to record purchased financial assets with credit deterioration (PCD assets), defined as a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination or issuance, at the purchase price plus the allowance for credit losses expected at the time of acquisition. Under this method, there is no credit loss expense affecting net income on acquisition of PCD assets. Changes in estimates of expected credit losses after acquisition are recognized as provision for credit losses (or recovery for credit losses) in subsequent periods as they arise. Any non-credit discount or premium resulting from acquiring a pool of purchased financial assets with credit deterioration shall be allocated to each individual asset. At the acquisition date, the initial allowance for credit losses determined on a collective basis shall be allocated to individual assets to appropriately allocate any non-credit discount or premium. The non-credit discount or premium, after the adjustment for the allowance for credit losses, shall be accreted to interest income using the interest method based on the effective interest rate determined after the adjustment for credit losses at the adoption date.

A purchased financial asset that does not qualify as a PCD asset is accounted for similar to an originated financial asset. Generally, this means that an entity recognizes the allowance for credit losses for non-PCD assets through net income at the time of acquisition. In addition, both the credit discount and non-credit discount or premium resulting from acquiring a pool of purchased financial assets that do not qualify as PCD assets shall be allocated to each individual asset. This combined discount or premium shall be accreted to interest income using the effective yield method.

For further discussion of our loan accounting and acquisitions, see Note 2—Mergers and Acquisitions, Note 4—Loans and Note 5—Allowance for Credit Losses to the audited consolidated financial statements.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Office equipment, furnishings, and buildings are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation computed principally on the declining-balance and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the terms of the related leases including lease renewals only when the Company is reasonably assured of the aggregate term of the lease. Additions to premises and equipment and major replacements are added to the accounts at cost. Maintenance and repairs and minor replacements are charged to expense when incurred. Gains and losses on routine dispositions are reflected in current operations.

Leases

Leases

Right-of-Use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. We determined that we do not have any leases classified as finance leases, and that all of our leases are operating leases, with the exception of the two minor finance leases acquired through the merger with CenterState. ROU assets and liabilities for operating leases are recognized at commencement date based on present value of lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the lease commencement date over the lease term. Because the rate implicit in the lease is typically not known, the lease incremental borrowing rate is determined by averaging the borrowing rates of multiple borrowing sources available to the Bank. For operating leases, lease expense is determined by the sum of the lease payments to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had operating ROU assets of $95.8 million and $100.3 million, respectively, recorded within Premises and Equipment on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and a lease liability of $103.9 million and $108.3 million, respectively, recorded within Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

Bank Owned Life Insurance

BOLI is comprised of long-term life insurance contracts on the lives of certain current and past employees where the insurance policy benefits and ownership are retained by the employer. Its cash surrender value is an asset that the Company uses to partially offset the future cost of employee benefits. The cash value accumulation on BOLI is permanently tax deferred if the policy is held to the insured person’s death and certain other conditions are met.

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of goodwill, core deposit intangibles and client list intangibles that result from the acquisition of other banks or branches from other financial institutions. Core deposit intangibles represent the value of long-term deposit relationships acquired in these transactions. Client list intangibles represent the value of long-term client relationships for the wealth and trust management business. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the sum of the estimated fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired less the estimated fair value of the liabilities assumed in a business combination. At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance of goodwill was $1.9 billion. Goodwill has an indefinite useful life and is evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value.

ASC Topic 350 requires an entity record an impairment charge if the reporting unit’s fair value exceeds its carrying value. The impairment charge will be limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The standard eliminates the requirement to calculate a goodwill impairment charge using Step 2 which involved calculating an implied fair value of goodwill for each reporting unit for which the first step indicated impairment. The standard does not change the guidance on completing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity will still be able to perform today’s optional qualitative goodwill impairment assessment before determining whether to proceed to the quantitative step of determining whether the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds it fair value.

The Company evaluated the carrying value of goodwill as of October 31, 2024, our annual test date, and determined that no impairment charge was necessary.

Core deposit intangibles and client list intangibles consist primarily of amortizing assets established during the acquisition of other banks. This includes whole bank acquisitions and the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities from other financial institutions. Core deposit intangibles, included in Core Deposit and Other Intangibles in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the deposit accounts acquired (generally 10 to 13 years) on an accelerated basis method which reasonably approximates the anticipated benefit stream from the accounts. The estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed for by comparing current balances to the initial estimates calculated at the time of merger or acquisition. Client list intangibles, included in Core Deposit and Other Intangibles in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the client lists acquired (generally 15 years) on the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed for reasonableness.

Mortgage Servicing Rights ("MSRs")

Mortgage Servicing Rights (“MSRs”)

The Company has a mortgage loan servicing portfolio with related mortgage servicing rights. MSRs represent the present value of the future net servicing fees from servicing mortgage loans. Servicing assets and servicing liabilities must be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. For subsequent measurements, an entity can choose to measure servicing assets and liabilities either based on fair value or lower of cost or market. The Company uses the fair value measurement option for MSRs.

The methodology used to determine the fair value of MSRs is subjective and requires the development of a number of assumptions, including anticipated prepayments of loan principal. Fair value is determined by estimating the present value of the asset’s future cash flows utilizing estimated market-based prepayment rates and discount rates, interest rates and other economic factors and assumptions validated through comparison to trade information, industry surveys, and with the use of independent third-party appraisals. Risks inherent in the MSRs valuation include higher than expected prepayment rates and/or delayed receipt of cash flows. The value of MSRs is significantly affected by interest rates available in the marketplace, which influence loan prepayment speeds. In general, during periods of declining interest rates, the value of mortgage servicing rights declines due to increasing prepayments attributable to increased mortgage refinance activity. Conversely, during periods of rising interest rates, the value of servicing rights generally increases due to reduced refinance activity. MSRs are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a component of Mortgage Banking Income.

Transfer of Financial Assets

Transfer of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over the transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when: (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. The Company reviews all sales of loans by evaluating specific terms in the sales documents and believes that the criteria discussed above to qualify for sales treatment have been met as loans have been transferred for cash and the notes and mortgages for all loans in each sale are endorsed and assigned to the transferee. Investors perform quality control reviews of mortgage loans purchased including post-purchase, early payment default, servicing, and post-foreclosure reviews. If a loan level deficiency cannot be remedied and breaches a term contained in the Investor agreement in effect at the time of loan delivery, the reviews may result in loan repurchase demands, or other alternative remedies. In certain sales, mortgage servicing rights may be retained and in other programs potential loss exposure from the credit enhancement obligation may be retained, both of which are evaluated and appropriately measured at the date of sale.

The Company maintains a risk management program to manage interest rate risk and pricing risk associated with its mortgage lending activities. This program includes the use of forward contracts and other derivatives that are used to offset changes in value of the mortgage inventory due to changes in market interest rates. Forward contracts to sell primarily fixed-rate mortgage loans are entered into to reduce the exposure to market risk arising from potential changes in interest rates. This could affect the fair value of mortgage loans held for sale and outstanding interest rate lock commitments which guarantee a certain interest rate if the loan is ultimately funded by the Company as a mortgage loan held for sale. The commitments to sell mortgage loans are at fixed prices and are schedule to settle on specific dates.

The Company enters into interest rate lock commitments for residential mortgage loans which commits it to lend funds to a potential borrower at a specific interest rate and within a specified time period. Interest rate lock commitments that relate to origination of mortgage loans that, if originated, will be held for sale, are considered derivative financial instruments under applicable accounting guidance. Outstanding interest rate lock commitments expose the Company to the risk that the price of the mortgage loans underlying the commitments may decline due to increases in mortgage interest rates from the inception of the rate lock to the funding of the loan and the eventual commitment for sale into the secondary market.

The Company packages the fixed rate conforming mortgage loans to be sold to investors. The Company records the sale when the transferred loans are purchased by the investor and the accounting criteria for the sale are met. Gains or losses recorded depend in part on the net carrying amount of the loans sold, which is allocated between the loans sold and retained interests based on their relative fair values at the date of sale. Since quoted market prices are not typically available, the fair value of retained interests is estimated through the services of a third-party service provider to determine the net present value of expected future cash flows. Such models incorporate management’s best estimates of key variables, such as prepayment speeds and discount rates that would be used by market participants and are appropriate for the risks involved. The Company generally retains mortgage servicing rights on residential loans sold in the secondary market to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Loans sold to other third-party investors are sold servicing released. Gains and losses incurred on loans sold to third-party investors are included in Mortgage Banking Income in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The majority of our revenue is derived primarily from interest income from receivables (loans) and securities. Other revenues are derived from fees received in connection with deposit accounts, mortgage banking activities including gains from the sale of loans and loan origination fees, correspondent banking activities including revenue from the sale of fixed income securities and fees from hedging services, and trust and investment advisory services. We recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

We report network costs associated with debit card and ATM transactions netted against the related fees from such transactions. For years 2024, 2023, and 2022, gross interchange and debit card transaction fees totaled $44.1 million, $41.3 million, and $40.7 million, respectively, while related network costs totaled $19.4 million, $20.7 million, and $18.5 million, respectively. On a net basis, the Company reported $24.8 million, $20.6 million, and $22.2 million, respectively, as interchange and debit card transactions fees in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income within Noninterest Income for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.

The Company maintains contracts to provide services, primarily for investment advisory and/or custody of assets. Through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, the Bank, and SouthState Advisory, Inc., the Company contracts with its customers to perform IRA, Trust, and/or Custody and Agency advisory services. Total revenue recognized from these contracts with customers was $45.5 million, $39.4 million, and $39.0 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. The Bank has contracts with its customers to perform deposit account services. Total revenue recognized from these contracts with customers is $142.3 million, $134.6 million, and $129.7 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. Due to the nature of our relationship with the customers that we provide services, we do not incur costs to obtain contracts and there are no material incremental costs to fulfill these contracts that should be capitalized.

Disaggregation of Revenue - The portfolio of services provided to the Company’s customers which generates revenue for which the revenue recognition standard applies consists of approximately 1.2 million active contracts at December 31, 2024. The Company has disaggregated revenue according to the timing of the transfer of service. Total revenue derived from contracts in which services are transferred at a point in time was $234.0, $237.3 million, and $266.8 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. Total revenue derived from contracts in which services are transferred over time was $23.5 million, $20.9 million, and $20.2 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. Revenue is recognized as the services are provided to the customers. Economic factors impacting the customers could affect the nature, amount, and timing of these cash flows, as unfavorable economic conditions could impair the customers’ ability to provide payment for services. This risk is mitigated as we generally deduct payments from customers’ accounts as services are rendered.

Contract Balances - The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable on our balance sheet. Most contracts call for payment by a charge or deduction to the respective customer account but there are some that require a receipt of payment from the customer. For fee per transaction contracts, the customers are billed as the transactions are processed. For hourly rate and monthly service contracts related to trust and some investment revenues, the customers are billed monthly (generally as a percentage basis point of the market value of the investment account). In some cases, specific to SouthState Advisory, Inc., customers are billed in advance for quarterly services to be performed based on the past quarter’s average account balance. These do create contract liabilities or deferred revenue, as the customers pay in advance for service. Neither the contract liabilities nor the accounts receivables balances are material to the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Performance Obligations - A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account for revenue recognition. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The performance obligations for these contracts are satisfied as the service is provided to the customer (either over time or at a point in time). The payment terms of the contracts are typically based on a basis point percentage of the investment account market value, fee per hour of service, or fee for service incurred. There are no significant financing components in the contracts. Excluding deposit services revenues, which are mostly billed at a point in time as a fee for services incurred, all other contracts contain variable consideration in that fees earned are derived from market values of accounts or from hours worked for services performed which determines the amount of consideration to which we are entitled. The variability is resolved when the hours are incurred or services are provided. The contracts do not include obligations for returns, refunds, or warranties. The contracts are specific to the amounts owed to the Company for services performed during a period should the contracts be terminated.

Significant Judgments - All of the contracts create performance obligations that are satisfied at a point in time excluding the contracts billed in advance through SouthState Advisory, Inc. and some immaterial deposit revenues. Revenue is recognized as services are billed to the customers. Variable consideration does exist for contracts related to our trust and investment services as revenues are based on market values and services performed. The Company has adopted the right-to-invoice practical expedient for trust management contracts through SouthState Bank, which we contract with our customers to perform IRA, Trust, and/or Custody services.

Advertising Costs

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred and advertising communication costs the first time the advertising takes place. The Company may establish accruals for anticipated advertising expenses within the course of a fiscal year.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as (1) unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities (2) unrealized gains and losses on effective portions of derivative financial instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges and (3) net change in unrecognized amounts related to pension and post-retirement benefits, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Such items, along with net income, are components of total comprehensive (loss) income (see Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) on page F-8).

Employee Benefit Plans

Employee Benefit Plans

The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) allows for a look-back option which establishes the purchase price as an amount based on the lesser of the stock’s market price at the grant date or its market price at the exercise (or purchase) date. For the shares issued in exchange for employee services under the plan, the Company accounts for the plan under the FASB ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, in which the fair value measurement method is used to estimate the fair value of the equity instruments, based on the share price and other measurement assumptions at the grant date. See Note 17Share-Based Compensation for the amount the Company recognized as expense for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of the transactions reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the tax basis and financial statement. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the Provision for Income Taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

The Company will evaluate and recognize income tax benefits related to any uncertain tax positions using the recognition and measurement thresholds outlined in the applicable guidance. If the Company does not believe that it is more likely than not that an uncertain tax position will be sustained, the Company records a liability for the uncertain tax positions. If a tax benefit is more-likely-than not of being sustained based on the applicable authority, the Company records an income tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on other expense line in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Accrued interest and penalties are included on the related liability lines in the consolidated balance sheet.

See Note 11Income Taxes to the consolidated financial statements for further details and discussion.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential shares had been issued. Potential shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units (non-vested shares and vested shares subject to a holding period), and are determined using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the number of incremental shares is determined by assuming the issuance of stock for the outstanding stock options, reduced by the number of shares assumed to be repurchased from the issuance proceeds, using the average market price for the year of the Company’s stock. Weighted-average shares for the basic and diluted EPS calculations have been reduced by the average number of unvested restricted shares.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company’s interest rate risk management strategy incorporates the use of derivative financial instruments. Historically, the Company has used interest rate swaps to essentially convert a portion of its variable-rate debt to a fixed rate. Cash flows related to variable-rate debt will fluctuate with changes in an underlying rate index. When effectively hedged, the increases or decreases in cash flows related to the variable-rate debt will generally be offset by changes in cash flows of the derivative instrument designated as a hedge. This strategy is referred to as a cash flow hedge. For derivatives designated as hedging exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction (cash flow hedge), the derivative’s entire unrealized gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings or when the hedged instrument and related swap are terminated before maturity. For derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recognized in earnings immediately. The Company did not use cash flow hedges for the years ended December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

The Company maintains loan swaps which are accounted for as a fair value hedge. This derivative protects the Company from interest rate risk caused by changes in the SOFR curve in relation to a certain designated fixed rate loan. Fair value hedges convert the fixed rate to a floating rate. For discussion related to Reference Rate Reform, please refer to the caption “Accounting Standards Adopted” within this Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

The Company’s risk management strategy for its mortgage banking activities incorporates derivative instruments used to economically hedge both the value of the mortgage servicing rights and the mortgage pipeline. These derivative instruments are not designated as hedges and are not speculative in nature. The derivative instruments that are used to hedge the value of the mortgage servicing rights include financial forwards, futures contracts, and options written and purchased. When-issued securities and mandatory cash forward trades are typically used to hedge the mortgage pipeline. These instruments derive their cash flows, and therefore their values, by reference to an underlying instrument, index or referenced interest rate.

During 2023, management began executing a series of short-term interest rate hedges to address monthly accrual mismatches related to the Company’s Assumable Rate Conversion (“ARC”) program and its transition from LIBOR to SOFR after June 30, 2023. The Company is required to execute the correspondent side of its back-to-back swaps with customers with the central clearinghouses, London Clearing House (“LCH”) and Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”). Term SOFR was not available to execute through CME and LCH, and therefore, management elected to convert to the CME-eligible daily SOFR. Because many of the respondent bank customers converted to term SOFR, this created interest rate basis risk. To address this risk, monthly interest rate hedges were executed to minimize the impact of accrual mismatches between the monthly term SOFR used by the customer and the daily SOFR rates used by the central clearinghouses. As these economic interest rate hedges do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of the swaps are recognized directly in earnings.

The Company’s risk management strategy also incorporates the use of interest rate swap contracts that help in managing interest rate risk within the loan portfolio and foreign currency exchange. These derivatives are not designated as hedges and are not speculative, and result from a service the Company provides to certain customers. The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously economically hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that the Company executes with a third-party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings.

The Company enters into master netting agreements with counterparties which requires collateral to cover exposures as identified within the derivative instruments not designated hedges of interest rate risk. Where legally enforceable, these master netting agreements give the Company, in the event of default by the counterparty, the right to liquidate securities held as collateral and to offset receivables and payables with the same counterparty.

The Company determined the variation margin payments for the Company’s interest rate swaps centrally cleared through LCH and CME meet the legal characteristics of daily settlements of the derivatives (settle-to-market) rather than collateral (collateralize-to-market). As a result, the variation margin payment and the related derivative instruments are considered a single unit of account for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Depending on the net position, the fair value of the single unit of account is reported in Derivative Assets or Derivative Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, as opposed to interest-earning deposits (restricted cash) within Cash and Cash Equivalents or interest-bearing deposits within Total Deposits. In addition, the expense or income attributable to the variation margin payments for the centrally cleared swaps is reported in Noninterest Income, specifically within Correspondent and Capital Markets Income, as opposed to Interest Income or Interest Expense. The daily settlement of the derivative exposure does not change or reset the contractual terms of the instrument.

By using derivative instruments, the Company is exposed to credit and market risk. If the counterparty fails to perform, credit risk is equal to the fair value gain in a derivative. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, this situation generally indicates that the counterparty is obligated to pay the Company, and, therefore, creates a repayment risk for the Company. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, the Company is obligated to pay the counterparty and, therefore, has no repayment risk. The Company minimizes the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties that are reviewed periodically by the Company.

The Company’s derivative activities are monitored by its Asset-Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) as part of that committee’s oversight of the Company’s asset/liability and treasury functions. The Company’s ALCO is responsible for implementing various hedging strategies that are developed through its analysis of data from financial

simulation models and other internal and industry sources. The resulting hedging strategies are then incorporated into the overall interest-rate risk management process.

The Company recognizes the fair value of derivatives as assets or liabilities in the financial statements. The accounting for the changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative instrument at inception. The change in fair value of the effective portion of cash flow hedges is accounted for in Other Comprehensive Income rather than Net Income. Gains and losses recognized from changes in fair value on derivatives are reported in Derivative Assets and Derivatives Liabilities lines under cash flows from operating activities section in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments that are not intended as a hedge are accounted for in Net Income in the period of the change.

See Note 26—Derivative Financial Instruments for further disclosure.

Recent Accounting and Regulatory Pronouncements

Recent Accounting and Regulatory Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted

In March 2022, FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU eliminate the long-standing accounting guidance for Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, as it is no longer meaningful due to the introduction of Topic 326, which requires an entity to consider lifetime expected credit losses on loans when establishing an allowance for credit losses. Thus, most losses that would have been realized for a TDR under Subtopic 310-40 are now captured by the accounting required under Topic 326. The amendments in this ASU also require that an entity disclose current-period gross write offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses Measured at Amortized Cost. The Company adopted ASU No. 2022-02 effective January 1, 2023. We elected to apply a prospective transition method, which applies only to modifications occurring after the adoption date. For loans meeting the Bank’s materiality criteria, which includes loans in excess of $250,000, an assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of the modification. On the transition date, the former TDR loans as of December 31, 2022 were designated as individually evaluated loans on January 1, 2023 and retained the allowance for credit losses allocated to these loans at the adoption date as the credit risk of these loans did not change. Aside from the changes to the disclosures required by ASU No. 2022-02, the ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848 – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting and subsequently expanded the scope of ASU No. 2020-04 with the issuance of ASU No. 2021-01 and extended the sunset date to December 31, 2024 with ASU No. 2022-06. This update provides companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that will be discontinued. The amendments in this update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The main provisions for contract modifications include optional relief by allowing the modification as a continuation of the existing contract without additional analysis and other optional expedients regarding embedded features. The amendments in this update were effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 and may be applied through December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 which clarified that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. ASU 2022-06 extended the effective date through December 31, 2024. The amendments are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024 and can be adopted at the instrument level on an ongoing basis. Management adopted these optional expedients beginning April 1, 2023 to coincide with the transition and modification of our LIBOR-exposed instruments. Most of the loan modifications met the requirements of these practical expedients, as most were subject to the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act which permits a replacement index with a spread adjustment. These modifications did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The Company adopted ASU 2023-02, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method effective January 1, 2024, and changed the accounting method of its LIHTC structured investments from the equity method to the proportional amortization method. The Company adopted ASU 2023-02 using the modified retrospective approach. Under this adoption approach, management was required to verify the LIHTCs met the conditions for proportional amortization method as of the date the investments were originally made by the Bank. In addition, management evaluated the actual tax credits and other income tax benefits received, as well as the remaining benefits expected to be received, as of the adoption date. The cumulative difference between the equity method and proportional amortization method resulted in a one-time cumulative effect adjustment recorded through retained earnings as of January 1, 2024. The cumulative effect resulting from the adoption of proportional amortization method was a net reduction to retained earnings of $10.2 million.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to improve disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and address requests from investors and other allocators of capital for additional, more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. Segment information gives investors an understanding of overall performance and is key to assessing potential future cash flows. In addition, although information about a segment’s revenue and measure of profit or loss is disclosed in an entity’s financial statements, there is limited information disclosed about a segment’s expenses. The key amendments include annual and interim disclosures of significant expenses and other segment items that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of profit or loss, as well as any other key measure of performance used for segment management decisions. This ASU also requires disclosure of key profitability measures used in assessing performance and how to allocate resources. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 using the retrospective approach. Aside from the new disclosures required by ASU No. 2023-07, the ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. See Note 28—Segment Reporting for further disclosure.

Issued But Not Yet Adopted Accounting Standards

On November 2024, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, to provide investors with more decision-useful information about a public business entity’s expense by improving disclosures on income statement expenses. Investors indicated that information regarding cost of sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A), employee compensation costs, depreciation and amortization, and research and development could help them better comprehend an entity's cost structure and forecast future cash flows. This ASU requires additional disclosures about specific expense categories on an annual and interim basis in the notes to financial statements. Specifically, public companies will be required to disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory; employee compensation; depreciation; intangible asset amortization; and depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil-and gas-producing activities included in each relevant expense caption. Additional disaggregation of certain amounts in other disclosures is also required. The amendments in the ASU are effective for public business entities only for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company does not anticipate this ASU will have a material impact on its financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which aims to address requests for improved income tax disclosures from investors, lenders, creditors and other allocators of capital (collectively, “investors”) that use the financial statements to make capital allocation decisions. The amendments in this ASU address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information, including jurisdictional information, by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in both the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not anticipate this ASU will have a material impact on its financial statements.

(1) All of the junior subordinated debt above is adjustable rate based on three-month CME SOFR plus a spread adjustment with the transition from LIBOR of 0.26161% plus a spread ranging from 140 basis points to 285 basis points. All of the Company's junior subordinated debt transitioned to SOFR from LIBOR for repricing dates after June 30, 2023.

(2) The $200 million in Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.75% per year to, but excluding, June 1, 2025. On June 1, 2025, the Notes convert to a floating rate equal to SOFR plus 562 basis points. The Notes may be redeemed by the Company after June 1, 2025. The balance in the table above is net of debt issuance costs.

(3) The Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.50% per year to, but excluding, September 1, 2025.
