Organization And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies 1.ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and General

Evans Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized as a New York business corporation and incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on October 28, 1988 for the purpose of becoming a bank holding company. Through August 2004, the Company was registered with the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”) as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. In August 2004, the Company filed for, and was approved as, a Financial Holding Company under the Bank Holding Company Act. The Company currently conducts its business through its two subsidiaries: Evans Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), a nationally chartered bank, and its subsidiary, Evans National Holding Corp. (“ENHC”); and Evans National Financial Services, LLC (“ENFS”) and its subsidiary, The Evans Agency LLC (“TEA”). Unless the context otherwise requires, the term “Company” refers collectively to Evans Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company conducts its business through its subsidiaries. It does not engage in any other substantial business.

On November 30, 2023 the Company sold substantially all of the assets of TEA to Gallagher and ceased its insurance business for the Company. See Note 2 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on the sale of TEA.

Regulatory Requirements

The Company is subject to the rules, regulations, and reporting requirements of various regulatory bodies, including the FRB, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), the New York State Department of Financial Services (“NYSDFS”), and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank, ENFS and their subsidiaries. All material inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Accounting Estimates

Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in order to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment and management evaluates them on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. We adjust our estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements in periods as they occur.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks and interest-bearing deposits at banks.

Securities

Securities which the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and are stated at cost, adjusted for discounts and premiums that are recognized in interest income over the period to the earlier of the call date or maturity using the level yield method. These securities represent debt issuances of local municipalities in the Bank’s market area for which market prices are not readily available. Management periodically evaluates the financial condition of the municipalities for any indication that the Bank does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of their bonds.

Securities classified as available for sale are stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported, net of deferred income taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, a component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses on sales of securities are computed using the specific identification method.

In instances where fair value of an available-for-sale debt security is less than its amortized cost basis and the Company does not intend to sell the available-for-sale debt security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis, the difference between the fair value and the amortized cost basis is separated into (a) the amount representing the credit loss and (b) the amount related to all other factors. The amount related to the credit loss is recognized as an allowance for credit losses while the amount related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes. If the Company intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not to be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis, the security is written down to fair value with the entire amount recognized in earnings. Subsequently, the Company accounts for the debt security as if the security had been purchased on the measurement date of the write down at an amortized cost basis equal to the previous amortized cost basis less the amount of the write down recognized in earnings.

The Bank does not engage in securities trading activities.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) System. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are recorded as a component of interest income.

Federal Reserve Bank Stock

The Bank is a member of the FRB. FRB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security. Both cash and stock dividends are recorded as a component of interest income.

Loan Servicing Assets

Servicing assets are related to residential mortgage loans sold and are recognized at the time of sale when servicing is retained with the income statement effect recorded in gains on loans sold. Servicing assets are initially recorded at fair value based on the present value of the contractually specified servicing fee, net of estimated servicing costs, over the estimated life of the loan. The servicing assets are subsequently amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans. The Company periodically evaluates servicing assets for impairment based upon the fair value of the assets as compared to their carrying amount.

Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or pay-off, generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for unamortized deferred fees or costs. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance and is recognized using the interest method. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the effective yield method of accounting for amortizing loans and straight line over an estimated life for lines of credit.

Loans become past due when the payment date has been missed. If payment has not been received within 30 days, then the loan is delinquent. Delinquent loans are placed into three categories; 30-59 days past due, 60-89 days past due, or 90+ days past due. Loans 90 or more days past due are considered non-performing.

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent, unless the credit is well secured and in process of collection. If the credit is not well secured and in the process of collection, the loan is placed on non-accrual status and is subject to charge-off if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. A loan can also be placed on nonaccrual before it is 90 days delinquent if management determines that it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect principal or interest due according to the contractual terms of the loan.

All interest due but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual status or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cost-recovery method, until it again qualifies for an accrual basis. Any cash receipts on non-accrual loans reduce the carrying value of the loans. Loans are returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, the adverse circumstances which resulted in the delinquent payment status are resolved, and payments are made in a timely manner for a period of time sufficient to reasonably assure their future dependability.

Loans placed on non-accrual status are individually assessed for impairment. Loan impairment is measured based on the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell, if the loan is collateral dependent. Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, estimated costs to sell, and/or

management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and the client’s business. The Company has an appraisal policy in which appraisals are obtained upon a loan being downgraded on the Company’s internal loan rating scale to special mention or substandard depending on the amount of the loan, the type of loan and the type of collateral. All impaired nonaccrual loans are either graded special mention or substandard on the internal loan rating scale. Subsequent to the downgrade, if the loan remains outstanding and impaired for at least one year more, management may require another follow-up appraisal. Between receipts of updated appraisals, if necessary, management may perform an internal valuation based on any known changing conditions in the marketplace such as sales of similar properties, a change in the condition of the collateral, or feedback from local appraisers.

The Bank monitors the credit risk in its loan portfolio by reviewing certain credit quality indicators (“CQI”). The primary CQI for its commercial mortgage and commercial and industrial (“C&I”) portfolios is the individual loan’s credit risk rating. The following list provides a description of the credit risk ratings that are used internally by the Bank when assessing the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses:

Acceptable or better: Credits with a slight risk of loss. The loan is secured by collateral of sufficient value to cover the loan by an acceptable margin. The financial statements of the company demonstrate sufficient net worth and repayment ability. The company has established an acceptable credit history with the bank and typically has a proven track record of performance. Management is experienced, and has an at least average ability to manage the company. The industry has an average or less than average susceptibility to wide fluctuations in business cycles.

Watch: Credits are generally acceptable but warrant greater attention than those rated acceptable or better. Temporary performance issues, if left unresolved, may result in above average risk. The borrower’s financial position is not typically strong. Earnings, while still positive, may be inconsistent. Industry issues or external events (such as possible litigation exposure) may cause concern. Although ability to repay is not an immediate concern, more regular monitoring may be necessary as a result of the short-term performance issues or sensitivities to external events that may result in a weakening condition. Any perceived weaknesses are acceptable when viewed against the overall credit and collateral risks assumed. Borrowers are likely fully leveraged when compared to others in a similar industry and their ability to raise capital may be limited.

Special Mention: Credits that have potential weaknesses that warrant management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Borrowers in this category may be experiencing adverse operating trends (declining revenues or margins) or an ill proportioned balance sheet. Adverse economic or market conditions, such as interest rate increases or the entry of a new competitor, may also support a special mention rating. Nonfinancial reasons for rating a credit exposure as special mention include management problems, pending litigation, stale financial statements, an ineffective loan agreement or other material structural weakness, and any other significant deviation from prudent lending practices.

Potential weaknesses in commercial real estate loans may include, construction delays, changes in concept or project plan, slow leasing, rental concessions, deteriorating market conditions, impending expiry of a major lease, or other adverse events that do not currently jeopardize repayment.

Substandard: Credits that are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility of loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Substandard assets have a high probability of payment default, or they have other well-defined weaknesses. They are generally characterized by current or expected unprofitable operations, inadequate debt service coverage, inadequate liquidity, or marginal capitalization. Repayment may depend on collateral or other credit risk mitigates. Although substandard assets in the aggregate will have distinct potential for loss, an individual asset’s loss potential does not have to be distinct for the asset to be rated substandard.

A well-defined weakness may manifest itself via:

significant deterioration in financial condition of the borrower;

impairment of primary repayment source;

material deviation from planned absorption of rental or sales units; or

material deterioration in market conditions.


Commercial real estate credits evidencing one or more of the following characteristics are evaluated for a possible substandard classification:

slower than projected leasing or sales activity that threatens to result in protracted repayment or default;

lower than projected lease rates or sales prices that jeopardize repayment capacity;

changes in concept or plan due to unfavorable market conditions;

construction or tax liens;

inability to obtain necessary zoning or permits necessary to develop the project as planned;

a diversion of needed cash from an otherwise viable property to satisfy the demands of a troubled borrower or guarantor;

material imbalances in the construction budget;

significant construction delays;

expiration of a major lease or default by a major tenant;

poorly structured of overly liberal repayment terms.

When a project has slowed or stalled and the guarantor is providing some support but the loan has not been restructured, unless the guarantor is providing support of principal payments sufficient to retire the debt under reasonable terms, a substandard classification is typically warranted. If the guarantor is keeping interest payments current and shows a documented willingness and capacity to do so in the future, and collateral values protect against loss, the loan should generally be left on accrual. This level of support; however, does not fully mitigate the well-defined weaknesses in the credit and does not preclude a substandard classification.

Doubtful: Credits that have all the weaknesses inherent in one classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. A doubtful asset has a high probability of total or substantial loss but because of specific pending events that may strengthen the assets, its classification as loss is deferred. Borrowers in this category are usually in default, lack adequate liquidity or capital and lack the resources necessary to remain an operating entity. Because of high probability of loss, nonaccrual accounting treatment is required for doubtful assets.

Circumstances that might warrant a doubtful classification for commercial real estate loans could include collateral values that are uncertain due to a lack of comparisons in an inactive market, impending changes such as zoning classification, environmental issues, or the pending resolution of legal issues that may affect the realization of value in a sale.

Loss: Credits that are considered uncollectable and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. Borrowers in this category are often in bankruptcy, have formally suspended debt repayments, or have otherwise ceased normal business operations. The Company does not maintain an asset on the balance sheet if realizing its value would require long-term litigation or other lengthy recovery efforts.

The Company’s consumer loans, including residential mortgages and home equities, are not individually risk rated or reviewed in the Company’s loan review process. Consumers are not required to provide the Company with updated financial information as is a commercial customer. Consumer loans also carry smaller balances. Given the lack of updated information since the initial underwriting of the loan and small size of individual loans, the Company does not have credit risk ratings for consumer loans and instead uses delinquency status as the credit quality indicator for consumer loans. However, once a consumer loan is identified as impaired, it is individually evaluated for impairment.

Loans acquired in a business combination are recorded at fair value with no carry-over of an acquired entity’s previously established allowance for credit losses. Purchased impaired loans represent specifically identified loans with evidence of credit deterioration for which it was probable at acquisition that the Company would be unable to collect all contractual principal and interest payments. For purchased impaired loans, the excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value of acquired loans is recognized as interest income over the remaining lives of the loans. Subsequent decreases in the expected principal cash flows require the Company to evaluate the need for additions to the Company’s allowance for credit losses. Subsequent improvements in expected cash flows result first in the recovery of any related allowance for credit losses and then in recognition of additional interest income over the then remaining lives of the loans. For all other acquired loans, the difference between the fair value and outstanding principal balance of the loans is recognized as an adjustment to interest income over the lives of those loans.


Allowance for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses represents the amount charged against the Bank’s earnings to maintain an allowance level deemed necessary based on management’s evaluation of expected credit losses at the balance sheet date. In estimating expected losses in the loan portfolio, borrower-specific financial data and macro-economic assumptions are utilized to project losses over a reasonable and supportable forecast period.

On a quarterly basis, management of the Bank meets to review and determine the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. In making this determination, the Bank’s management analyzes the ultimate collectability of the loans in its portfolio by incorporating feedback provided by the Bank’s internal loan staff, an independent internal loan review function and information provided by examinations performed by regulatory agencies.

The analysis of the allowance for credit losses is composed of two components: individually analyzed loans and pooled loan portfolio allocation. The individually analyzed loans includes a detailed review of each impaired loan and an allocation is made based on this analysis. Factors may include the appraisal value of the collateral, the age of the appraisal, the type of collateral, the performance of the loan to date, the performance of the borrower’s business based on financial statements, and legal judgments involving the borrower. For pooled portfolio loans that share similar risk characteristics, the Bank utilizes statistically developed models to estimate amounts and timing of expected future cash flows, correlations of credit losses with various macroeconomic assumptions including unemployment and gross domestic product, as well as other factors used to determine the borrowers’ abilities to repay obligations.

For both the criticized and non-criticized loans in the pooled loan portfolio allocation, additional qualitative factors are applied. The qualitative factors applied to the pooled loan portfolio allocation reflect management’s evaluation of various conditions. The conditions evaluated include the following: levels and trends in delinquencies, non-accruals, and criticized loans; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in lending policies and credit quality underwriting standards; experience, ability, and depth of management; national and economic trends and conditions; changes in the quality of the loan review system; concentrations of credit risk; changes in collateral value; and large loan risk.

The total possible qualitative allocation is the difference between the maximum loss rate and the quantitative model loss rate. Management uses the same model to calculate the maximum loss rates and expected loss rates for each segment by stressing the model to worse-case economic environment scenarios. The economic forecasts in the maximum loss rate calculation reflect the worst economic environment observed for each economic factor. In addition, prepayment and curtailment rate speeds are adjusted to the 10th percentile, slowest observation. The resulting maximum loss rate calculation represents a lifetime reserve and is inputted into the qualitative framework within the current calculation. The difference between the quantitative model and the maximum model results are then allocated based on weight and risk assignments.

Foreclosed Real Estate

Foreclosed real estate is initially recorded at fair value (net of costs of disposal) at the date of foreclosure. Costs relating to development and improvement of property are capitalized, whereas costs relating to the holding of property are expensed. Assessments are periodically performed by management, and an allowance for losses is established through a charge to operations if the carrying value of a property exceeds fair value.

Operating Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception by assessing whether there is an identified asset and whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating leases with a term of more than one year are included in operating lease Right-of-Use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities. The Company made a policy election to apply the short-term lease exemption to any operating leases with an original term of less than 12 months, therefore no ROU asset or lease liability is recorded for these operating leases.

ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized on the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses the incremental borrowing rate commensurate with the lease term based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

Insurance Service and Fees

Commission revenue from selling commercial and personal property and casualty insurance on behalf of the insurance carriers is recognized at the time of the sale of the policy or when a policy renews. Commission revenue from selling benefit plans to commercial customers on behalf of the insurance carriers is recognized each month when the customer continues with the benefit plan. The Company also receives contingent commissions from insurance companies which are based on the overall profitability of their relationship based

primarily on the loss experience of the insurance placed by the Company. Contingent commissions from insurance companies are accrued throughout the year based on recent historical results. As loss events occur and overall performance becomes known, accrual adjustments are recorded until the cash is ultimately received. Financial services commissions and insurance claims services revenue are recognized when the services are rendered. Information on insurance service and fee revenue is included in Note 15 to these Consolidated Financial Statements, “Revenue Recognition of Non-interest Income.”

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company records the excess of the cost of acquired entities over the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, less liabilities assumed, as goodwill. The Company does not amortize goodwill and any acquired intangible asset with an indefinite useful economic life, but reviews them for impairment at a reporting unit level on an annual basis, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may be impaired. The Company has selected December 31 as the date to perform the annual impairment test. A reporting unit is defined as any distinct, separately identifiable component of one of our operating segments for which complete, discrete financial information is available and reviewed regularly by the segment’s management. Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on the Company’s balance sheet. The Company amortizes acquired intangible assets with definite useful economic lives, consisting of core deposit intangibles, customer relationships and trade names, over their useful economic lives, which range from 5 to 10 years, utilizing the straight-line method.

Business Combinations

The company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. Upon obtaining control of the acquired entity, the Company records all identifiable assets and liabilities at their estimated fair values. Goodwill is recorded when the consideration paid for an acquired entity exceeds the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired. Changes to the acquisition date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be made as adjustments to goodwill over a 12-month measurement period following the date of acquisition. Such adjustments are attributable to additional information obtained related fair value estimates of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Certain costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred.

Subordinated Debt

Long-term borrowings are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, which are recognized in interest expense using the interest method. Debt issuance costs are recognized in interest expense over the life of the instrument.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance

The Bank has purchased insurance on the lives of Company directors and certain members of the Company’s management. The policies accumulate asset values to meet future liabilities, including the payment of employee benefits, such as retirement benefits. Increases in the cash surrender value are recorded as other income in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

Properties and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Properties and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 39 years. Impairment losses on properties and equipment are realized if the carrying amount is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows and exceeds its fair value.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax effects attributable to differences between the financial statement value of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the periods 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 income tax expense.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per common share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is based on increasing the weighted-average number of shares of common stock by the number of shares of common stock that would be issued assuming the exercise of stock options. Such adjustments to weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding are made only when such adjustments are expected to dilute earnings per common share. Potential common shares that would have the effect of increasing diluted earnings per share are considered to be anti-dilutive and are not included in calculating diluted earnings per share. There were 82,979, 55,555 and 57,322 anti-dilutive shares in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes both net income and other comprehensive income (loss), including the change in unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, and the change in the liability related to pension costs, net of tax.

Employee Benefits

The Bank maintains a non-contributory, qualified, defined benefit pension plan (the “Pension Plan”) that covered substantially all employees before it was frozen on January 31, 2008. All benefits eligible participants had accrued in the Pension Plan until the freeze date have been retained. Employees have not accrued additional benefits in the Pension Plan from that date. The actuarially determined pension benefit in the form of a life annuity is based on the employee’s combined years of service, age and compensation. The Bank’s policy is to fund the minimum amount required by government regulations. Employees are eligible to receive these benefits at normal retirement age.

The Bank maintains a defined contribution 401(k) plan and accrues contributions due under this plan as earned by employees. In addition, the Bank maintains a non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for certain members of senior management, a non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan for directors and certain members of management, and a non-qualified Executive Incentive Retirement Plan for certain members of management, as described more fully in Note 12 to these Consolidated Financial Statements, “Employee Benefits and Deferred Compensation Plans.”

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period of the stock-based grant based on the estimated grant date value of the stock-based compensation that is expected to vest. The Company accounts for forfeitures of stock awards when they occur. When stock awards are granted, the Company assumes that the service condition will be achieved when determining the initial amount of compensation cost recognized. Information on the determination of the estimated value of stock-based awards used to calculate stock-based compensation expense is included in Note 13 to these Consolidated Financial Statements, “Stock-Based Compensation.”

Loss Contingencies

Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into off-balance sheet financial arrangements consisting of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The Bank provides guarantees in the form of standby letters of credit, which represent an irrevocable obligation to make payments to a third party if the borrower defaults on its obligation under a borrowing or other contractual arrangement with the third party. The Bank could potentially be required to make payments to the extent of the amount guaranteed by the standby letters of credit based on the terms of the agreement. There were no liabilities recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets related to standby letters of credit as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, reflecting management’s assessment of the value of the guarantee given the lack of historical activity and the likelihood of current customers to draw on the letters of credit. The Bank has not incurred any losses on its commitments during the past three years and has not recorded a reserve for its commitments.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgement regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect these estimates.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND DEVELOPMENTS

The FASB establishes changes to U.S. GAAP in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs when they are issued by FASB. Effective January 1, 2023 the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage

Disclosures. Excluding those ASUs, the Company did not adopt any accounting pronouncements during its current fiscal year that had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments – The Company adopted this ASU (commonly known as the Current Expected Credit Loss Impairment Model, or CECL) effective January 1, 2023. The main objective of this ASU is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in CECL replace the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates.

Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, the Company recognized a $2.7 million increase in the allowance for credit losses as of January 1, 2023 with a net of tax cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of $2.0 million.

ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures – The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2023. This ASU eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") in ASC 310-40, "Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors" for entities that have adopted the CECL model introduced by ASU 2016-13. ASU 2022-02 also requires that public business entities disclose current-period gross charge-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 adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, but did affect the financial statement disclosures.

Accounting standards that have been recently issued but not yet required to be adopted as of December 31, 2023, to the extent management believes their adoption will have not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures, are discussed below.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The updated accounting guidance requires expanded reportable segment disclosures, primarily related to significant segment expenses which are regularly provided to the company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Retrospective application is required. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have on the Company's financial statement disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The updated accounting guidance requires expanded income tax disclosures, including the disaggregation of existing disclosures related to the tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Prospective application is required, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have on the Company's financial statement disclosures.

On November 30, 2023, the Company completed the sale of significantly all of the assets of TEA to Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. and Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management Services, LLC and ceased insurance related activities for the Company. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the purchase agreement, as amended, at the closing of the transaction, Gallagher distributed $37.6 million in cash to TEA, of which $2.0 million was placed in a third party escrow account as security for the indemnification obligations of the Company and TEA relating to the representations and warranties included in the purchase agreement, and retained an additional $2.4 million to be payable to TEA at the end of a two year period based on the performance of certain customer accounts.

The purchase agreement contains customary representations and warranties regarding the parties. The purchase agreement provides that, for a period of five years following the closing of the transaction, the Company and its subsidiaries will not, subject to certain limited exceptions, engage in a business that is competitive with Gallagher’s business.

TEA recorded insurance revenue of $9.7 million in 2023, $9.8 million in 2022, and $9.9 million in 2021. Total net income for 2023, 2022, and 2021 was $15.7 million, $1.5 million, and $1.3 million, respectively. TEA’s 2023 net income included a pretax gain of $20.2 million and income tax expense of $6.6 million related to the sale. Details of the pretax gain on the sale is summarized below:

Management has assessed the securities available for sale in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2023 and determined that it expected to recover the amortized cost basis of its securities. As of December 31, 2023, the Company does not intend to sell nor is it anticipated that it would be required to sell any of its impaired securities before recovery of their amortized cost. Management believes the decline in fair value is primarily related to market interest rate fluctuations and not to the credit deterioration of the individual issuers. As a result, the Company does not hold allowance for credit losses relating to securities. The Company holds no

securities backed by sub-prime or Alt-A residential mortgages or commercial mortgages and also does not hold any trust-preferred securities.

The creditworthiness of the Company’s portfolio is largely reliant on the ability of U.S. government agencies such as the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), and municipalities throughout New York State to meet their obligations. In addition, dysfunctional markets could materially alter the liquidity, interest rate, and pricing risk of the portfolio. The stable past performance is not a guarantee for similar performance going forward.

The outstanding principal balance and the carrying amount of acquired credit-impaired loans totaled $0.8 million and $0.7 million at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. There were no valuation allowances for specifically identified impairment attributable to acquired credit-impaired loans at December 31, 2023 or 2022.

There were $566 million and $495 million in residential and commercial mortgage loans pledged to FHLBNY to serve as collateral for potential borrowings as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Residential Mortgages: The Company originates adjustable-rate and fixed-rate, one-to-four-family residential real estate loans for the construction, purchase, or refinancing of a mortgage. These loans are collateralized by owner-occupied properties located in the Company’s market area and are amortized over a period of 10 to 30 years. Loans on one-to-four-family residential real estate are mostly originated in amounts of no more than 80% of the property’s appraised value or have private mortgage insurance. Mortgage title insurance and hazard insurance are normally required. Construction loans have a unique risk, because they are secured by an incomplete dwelling.

The Company, in its normal course of business, sells certain residential mortgages which it originates and sells to FNMA and FHLB while maintaining the servicing rights for those mortgages. The Bank determines with each origination of residential real estate loans which desired maturities, within the context of overall maturities in the loan portfolio, provide the appropriate mix to optimize the Bank’s ability to absorb the corresponding interest rate risk within the Company’s tolerance ranges. This practice allows the Company to manage interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and credit risk. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s loan servicing portfolio principal balances was $113 million and $116 million, respectively, upon which it earned servicing fees. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company sold $8.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively, in loans to FNMA and FHLB and realized gains on those sales of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Gains or losses recognized upon the sale of loans are determined on a specific identification basis. No loans were sold to FHLMC by the Company during the years 2023 and 2022.

The Company had a related asset carried at fair value of approximately $1.1 million for the servicing portfolio rights at December 31, 2023 and 2022. There were no residential mortgages held for sale at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Commercial and Multi-Family Mortgages and Commercial Construction Loans: Commercial real estate loans are made to finance the purchases of real estate with completed structures or in the midst of being constructed. These commercial real estate loans are secured by first liens on the real estate, which may include apartments, hotels, retail stores or plazas, healthcare facilities, and other non-owner-occupied facilities. These loans are generally less risky than commercial and industrial loans since they are secured by real estate and buildings. The Company offers commercial mortgage loans with up to an 80% LTV ratio for up to 20 years on a variable and fixed rate basis. Many of these mortgage loans either mature or are subject to a rate call after three to five years. The Company’s underwriting analysis includes credit verification, independent appraisals, a review of the borrower's financial condition, and the underlying cash flows. Construction loans have a unique risk, because they are secured by an incomplete dwelling.

Home Equities: The Company originates home equity lines of credit and second mortgage loans (loans secured by a second lien position on one-to-four-family residential real estate). These loans carry a higher risk than first mortgage residential loans because they are in a second position with respect to collateral. Risk is reduced through underwriting criteria, which include credit verification, appraisals, a review of the borrower's financial condition, and personal cash flows. A security interest, with title insurance when necessary, is taken in the underlying real estate.

Commercial and Industrial Loans: These loans generally include term loans and lines of credit. Such loans are made available to businesses for working capital (including inventory and receivables), business expansion (including acquisition of real estate, expansion, and improvements) and equipment purchases. As a general practice, a collateral lien is placed on equipment or other assets owned by the borrower. These loans generally carry a higher risk than commercial real estate loans based on the nature of the underlying collateral, which can be business assets such as equipment and accounts receivable. To reduce the risk, management also attempts to secure real estate as collateral and obtain personal guarantees of the borrowers. To further reduce risk and enhance liquidity, these loans generally carry variable rates of interest, re-pricing in three- to five-year periods, and have a maturity of five years or less. Lines of credit generally carry floating rates of interest (e.g. prime plus a margin).

Consumer Loans: The Company funds a variety of consumer loans, including direct automobile loans, recreational vehicle loans, boat loans, home improvement loans, and personal loans (collateralized and uncollateralized). Most of these loans carry a fixed rate of interest with principal repayment terms typically ranging up to five years, based upon the nature of the collateral and the size of the loan. The majority of consumer loans are underwritten on a secured basis using the underlying collateral being financed. A minimal amount of loans are unsecured, which carry a higher risk of loss. These loans included overdrawn deposit accounts classified as loans of $0.1 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company monitors the credit risk in its loan portfolio by reviewing certain credit quality indicators (“CQI”). The primary CQI for the commercial mortgage and commercial and industrial portfolios is the individual loan’s credit risk rating. The following list provides a description of the credit risk ratings that are used internally by the Bank when assessing the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses:

Acceptable or better

Watch

Special Mention

Substandard

Doubtful

Loss

“Special mention” and “substandard” loans are weaker credits with a higher risk of loss and are categorized as “criticized” assets.

The Company’s consumer loans, including residential mortgages and home equities, are not individually risk rated or reviewed in the Company’s loan review process. Unlike commercial customers, consumer loan customers are not required to provide the Company with updated financial information. Consumer loans also carry smaller balances. Given the lack of updated information after the initial underwriting of the loan and small size of individual loans, the Company uses delinquency status as the primary credit quality indicator for consumer loans. However, once a consumer loan is identified as impaired, it is individually evaluated for impairment.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Effective January 1, 2023 the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which requires an allowance for credit losses be deducted from the amortized cost basis of financial assets to present the net carrying value at the amount that is expected to be collected over the contractual term of the asset. In determining the allowance for credit losses, accruing loans with similar risk characteristics are generally evaluated collectively. The Company utilizes discounted cash flow models considering relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount to project principal balances over the remaining contractual lives of the loan portfolios and to determine estimated credit losses through a reasonable and supportable forecast period. The models have been statistically developed based on historical correlations of credit losses with prevailing economic metrics, including unemployment and gross domestic product. The Company utilizes a reasonable and supportable forecast period of one year. Subsequent to this forecast

period the Company reverts, on a straight-line basis over a one-year period, to historical loss experience to inform its estimate of losses for the remaining contractual life of each portfolio. Model forecasts may be adjusted for inherent limitations of biases that have been identified through independent validation and back-testing of model performance to actual realized results. The Company also considered the impact of qualitative factors, including portfolio concentrations, changes in underwriting practices, imprecision in its economic forecasts, geopolitical conditions and other risk factors that might influence its loss estimation process.

The Company also estimates losses attributable to specific troubled credits identified through both normal and targeted credit review processes and includes all loans on nonaccrual status. The amounts of individually analyzed losses are determined through a loan-by-loan analysis. Such loss estimates are typically based on expected future cash flows, collateral values and other factors that may impact the borrower’s ability to pay. To the extent that those loans are collateral-dependent, they are evaluated based on recent estimations of the fair value of the loan’s collateral. In those cases where current appraisals may not yet be available, prior appraisals are utilized with adjustments, as deemed necessary, for estimates of subsequent declines in values as determined by line of business and/or loan workout personnel. Those adjustments are reviewed and assessed for reasonableness by the Company’s credit risk personnel. Accordingly, for real estate collateral securing larger nonaccrual commercial loans and commercial real estate loans, estimated collateral values are based on current appraisals and estimates of value. For non-real estate loans, collateral is assigned a discounted estimated liquidation value and, depending on the nature of the collateral, is verified through field exams or other procedures. In assessing collateral, real estate and non-real estate values are reduced by an estimate of selling costs. Charge-offs are based on recent indications of value from external parties that are generally obtained shortly after a loan becomes nonaccrual. Loans to consumers that file for bankruptcy are generally charged-off to estimated net collateral value shortly after the Company is notified of such filings. When evaluating individual home equity loans and lines of credit for charge off and for purposes of estimating losses in determining the allowance for credit losses, the Company considers the required repayment of any first lien positions related to collateral property.

Prior to 2023, the allowance for credit losses represented the amount that in management’s judgement reflected incurred credit losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio as of the balance sheet date. A description of the methodologies used by the Company to estimate its allowance for credit losses prior to January 1, 2023 is included in Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The following tables present the activity in the allowance for credit losses according to portfolio segment for the periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

The financial impacts of the commercial and industrial modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 was a maturity extension of six months. Residential mortgage loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during that same period were maturity extensions ranging from six months to 164 months. Commercial real estate loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, included in the table above, were maturity extensions ranging from six months and seven months. In addition, a payment modification was made to a commercial real estate borrower experiencing financial difficulty to restructure the payment schedule without extending the term of the loan. The amortized cost of this loan, not included in the table above, was $5.2 million at December 31, 2023.

The company has not committed to lend any additional amounts to the borrowers included in the previous table.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any loans made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were modified during 2023 that subsequently defaulted. Payment default is defined as movement to nonperforming status, foreclosure or charge-off, whichever occurs first.

The Company closely monitors the performance of loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts.

Troubled debt restructurings

Information on loan modifications prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023 is presented in accordance with the applicable accounting standards in effect at that time. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the Company modified two loans that were determined to be troubled debt restructurings, a home equity loan with an outstanding balance of $38 thousand that included extension of maturity and interest rate reduction concessions and a commercial and industrial loan with an outstanding balance of $461 thousand that included an extension of maturity.

Leases [Abstract]  
Leases 6.LEASES

The Company’s leases, consisting of property leases for certain bank branches, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease Right of Use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets were $3.8 million and $4.4 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Lease liabilities were $4.1 million and $4.7 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As these leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. Our lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.

 

Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease expenses were $1.1 million during each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, and are included in occupancy expense on the consolidated statement of income. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities were $1.1 million and $1.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and are included in cash flows from operating activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows. The weighted average discount rate related to the Company’s leases were 2.8%, and 3.0% as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.  The weighted average remaining lease term related to the Company’s leases was 6.0 years and 6.7 years as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.  Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable leases as of December 31, 2023 were as follows:

Goodwill [Abstract]  
Goodwill And Intangible Assets 7.GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price of the acquisition over the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The Company had $1.8 million in goodwill at December 31, 2023, compared with $12.7 million in goodwill at December 31, 2022.

On November 30, 2023 the Company wrote-off $10.9 million of goodwill and $0.8 million of intangible assets in connection with the sale of TEA. See Note 2 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on the sale of TEA.

Goodwill of $1.8 million at December 31, 2023 relates to the banking activities segment of the Company. There were no additions to goodwill during 2023 or 2022.

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying value. The Company measures the fair value of its reporting units annually, as of December 31. There was no impairment of goodwill recognized during 2023 or 2022.

There were no additions to intangible assets during 2023 or 2022. The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of other intangible assets at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:

The Bank has the ability to borrow additional funds from the FHLB based on the securities or real estate loans that can be used as collateral and to purchase additional federal funds through one of the Bank’s correspondent banks. Given the current collateral available, additional advances of up to $364 million can be drawn on the FHLB via the Bank’s Overnight Line of Credit Agreement. There were $566 million and $495 million in residential and commercial mortgage loans pledged to FHLBNY to serve as collateral for potential borrowings as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, the Bank is required to hold stock in FHLBNY. The Bank held FHLBNY stock with a carrying value of $4.9 million and $10.4 million as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The Bank has the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve and participates in the Bank Term Funding Program. At December 31, 2023 the Bank had $86 million in short-term borrowings with the FRB and $3.1 million in additional availability to borrow against collateral. By placing sufficient collateral in safekeeping at the Federal Reserve Bank, the Bank could borrow at the discount window.

Subordinated debt comprised $20.0 million of subordinated notes and $11.3 million of trust preferred capital securities at December 31, 2023 and 2022.

On July 9, 2020, the Company issued $20.0 million of fixed to floating rate subordinated notes. The subordinated notes have an initial fixed interest rate of 6.00% to, but excluding, July 15, 2025, payable semi-annually in arrears. From and including July 15, 2025 to but excluding the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate will reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum initially equal to the then-current three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plus 590 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. The subordinated notes mature on July 15, 2030. The Company is entitled to redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after July 15, 2025, and to redeem the subordinated notes at any time in whole upon certain other events.

On October 1, 2004, Evans Capital Trust I, a statutory business trust wholly-owned by the Company (the “Trust”), issued $11.0 million in aggregate principal amount of floating rate preferred capital securities due November 23, 2034 to various investors (the “Capital Securities”) and $0.3 million of common securities to the Company (the “Common Securities”). The Capital Securities represent preferred undivided interests in the assets of the Trust. The Common Securities represent the initial capital contribution of the Company to the Trust, which have not been consolidated and are included in “Other Assets” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Under the Federal Reserve Board’s current risk-based capital guidelines, the Capital Securities are includable in the Company’s Tier 1 (Core) capital. The Common Securities are wholly-owned by the Company and are the only class of the Trust’s securities possessing general voting powers.

The Capital Securities have a distribution rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.65%, and the distribution dates are February 23, May 23, August 23, and November 23. The distribution rate was 8.24% at December 31, 2023.

The proceeds from the issuances of the Capital Securities and Common Securities were used by the Trust to purchase $11.3 million in aggregate liquidation amount of floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (“Junior Subordinated Debentures”) of the Company, due October 1, 2037.

The Junior Subordinated Debentures represent the sole assets of the Trust, and payments under the Junior Subordinated Debentures are the sole source of cash flow for the Trust. The interest rate payable on the Junior Subordinated Debentures was 8.24% at December 31, 2023.

Holders of the Capital Securities receive preferential cumulative cash distributions on each distribution date at the stated distribution rate, unless the Company exercises its right to extend the payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures for up to twenty quarterly periods, in which case payment of distributions on the respective Capital Securities will be deferred for comparable periods. During an extended interest period, in accordance with terms as defined in the indenture relating to the Capital Securities, the Company may not pay dividends or distributions on, or repurchase, redeem, or acquire any shares of its capital stock. The agreements governing the Capital Securities, in the aggregate, provide a full, irrevocable, and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the payment of distributions on, the redemption of, and any liquidation distribution with respect to the Capital Securities. The obligations under such guarantee and the Capital Securities are subordinate and junior in right of payment to all senior indebtedness of the Company.

The Capital Securities will remain outstanding until the Junior Subordinated Debentures are repaid at maturity, are redeemed prior to maturity, or are distributed in liquidation to the Trust. The Capital Securities are mandatorily redeemable in whole, but not in part, upon repayment at the stated maturity dates of the Junior Subordinated Debentures or the earlier redemption of the Junior Subordinated Debentures in whole upon the occurrence of one or more events (“Events”) set forth in the indentures relating to the Capital Securities, and in whole or in part at any time contemporaneously with the optional redemption of the related Junior Subordinated Debentures in whole or in part. The Junior Subordinated Debentures are redeemable prior to their stated maturity dates at the Company’s option: (i) on or after the stated optional redemption dates, in whole at any time, or in part from time to time; or (ii) in whole, but not in part, at any time within 90 days following the occurrence and during the continuation of one or more of the Events, in each case subject to possible regulatory approval. The redemption price of the Capital Securities and the related Junior Subordinated Debentures upon early redemption would be at the liquidation amount plus accumulated but unpaid distributions.

Employee Benefits And Deferred Compensation Plans

12.EMPLOYEE BENEFITS AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS

Employees’ Pension Plan

The Bank has a defined benefit pension plan that covered substantially all employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Pension Plan”). The Pension Plan provides benefits that are based on the employees’ compensation and years of service. The Bank uses an actuarial method of amortizing prior service cost and unrecognized net gains or losses which result from actual experience and assumptions being different than those that are projected. The amortization method the Bank uses recognizes the prior service cost and net gains or losses over the average remaining service period of active employees which exceeds the required amortization. The Pension Plan was frozen effective January 31, 2008. Under the freeze, eligible employees will receive the benefits already earned through January 31, 2008 at retirement, but will not be able to accrue any additional benefits. As a result, service cost will no longer be incurred.

Selected Financial Information for the Pension Plan is as follows:

The Company did not contribute to the Pension Plan in 2023 and expects that it will not contribute to the Pension Plan in 2024.

The expected long-term rate of return on Pension Plan assets assumption was determined based on historical returns earned by equity and fixed income securities, adjusted to reflect future return expectations based on plan targeted asset allocation. Equity and fixed income securities were assumed to earn returns in the ranges of 4.5% to 11% and 4% to 5%, respectively. When these overall return expectations are applied to the Pension Plan’s targeted allocation, the expected rate of return was determined to be 5.50%, which is within the range of expected return. The Company’s management will continue to evaluate its actuarial assumptions, including the expected rate of return, at least annually, and will adjust as necessary.

The weighted average asset allocation of the Pension Plan at December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Pension Plan measurement date, was as follows:

The portfolio is invested in accordance with sound investment practices. Consistent with this approach, the investment strategy is to diversify the portfolio in order to reduce risk and to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet the obligations of the Plan. The Plan’s long-term asset allocation under normal market conditions is 34% equity investment and 66% fixed income assets and other short term investments and cash equivalents. The investment objective of the allocation in equity investments emphasizes long term capital appreciation. These equity investments are diversified across market capitalization, industries, style and geographical location. The investment objective of the fixed income allocation is to generally provide a diversified source of income with an awareness of capital preservation. The primary objective of the investment philosophy is capital preservation.


The major categories of assets in the Bank’s Pension Plan as of year-end are presented in the following table. Assets are segregated according to their investment objective by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (see Note 20 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments).

The discount rate utilized by the Company for determining future pension obligations is based on a review of long-term bonds that receive one of the two highest ratings given by a recognized rating agency. The discount rate determined on this basis decreased from 5.22% at December 31, 2022 to 5.00% at December 31, 2023 for the Company's Pension Plan.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans

The Bank also maintains a non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan (the “SERP”) covering certain members of the Company’s senior management. The SERP was amended during 2003 to provide a benefit based on a percentage of final average earnings, as opposed to the fixed benefit that was provided for in the superseded plan.

On April 8, 2010, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the adoption of the Evans Bank, N.A. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for Senior Executives (“the Senior Executive SERP”). The “old” SERP plan will keep its participants at the time of the creation of the Senior Executive SERP, but any future executives identified by the Board of Directors as eligible for SERP benefits will participate in the Senior Executive SERP. A participant is generally entitled to receive a benefit under the Senior Executive SERP upon a termination of employment, other than for “cause”, after the participant has completed 10 full calendar years of service with the Bank. No benefit is payable under the Senior Executive SERP if the participant’s employment is terminated for “cause” or if the participant voluntarily terminates before completing 10 full calendar years of service with the Bank. In addition, the payment of benefits under the Senior Executive SERP is conditioned upon certain agreements of the participant related to confidentiality, cooperation, non-competition, and non-solicitation. A participant will be entitled to a retirement benefit under the Senior Executive SERP if his or her employment with the Bank terminates other than for “cause”. The “accrued benefit” is based on a percentage of the participant’s final average earnings, which is determined based upon the participant’s total annual compensation over the highest consecutive five calendar years of the participant’s employment with the Bank, accrued over the participant’s “required benefit service”. The percentages and years of service requirements are set forth in each participant’s Participation Agreement, and range from 25% to 35% and from 15 to 20 years.

The obligations related to the two SERP plans are indirectly funded by various life insurance contracts naming the Bank as beneficiary. The Bank has also indirectly funded the SERPs, as well as other benefits provided to other employees, through bank-owned life insurance. The Bank uses an actuarial method of amortizing unrecognized net gains or losses which result from actual experience and assumptions being different than those that are projected. The amortization method the Bank is using recognizes the net gains or losses over the average remaining service period of active employees, which exceeds the required amortization.

Other Compensation Plans

The Company has a non-qualified deferred compensation plan whereby directors and certain officers may defer a portion of their base pre-tax compensation. Additionally, the Company has a non-qualified executive incentive retirement plan, whereby the Company defers on behalf of certain officers a portion of their base compensation until retirement or termination of service, subject to certain vesting arrangements. Aggregate expense under these plans was approximately $0.1 million in 2023, and $0.2 million in 2022 and 2021. The benefit obligation, included in other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, was $1.8 million at December 31, 2023 and was 1.9 million at December 31, 2022.

These benefit plans are indirectly funded by bank-owned life insurance contracts with a total aggregate cash surrender value of approximately $42.8 million and $41.8 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Increases in cash surrender value are included in other non-interest income on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. Endorsement split-dollar life insurance benefits have also been provided to directors and certain officers of the Bank and its subsidiaries during employment.

The Company acquired a deferred compensation plan from FSB during 2020 which requires the Company to make scheduled payments to the participants. At December 31, 2023, this plan consisted of one participant that receives $5 thousand in monthly payments through June 2033. The benefit obligation, included in other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, was $0.6 million at December 31, 2023.

The Company also has a defined contribution retirement and thrift 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) for its employees who meet certain length of service and age requirements. The provisions of the 401(k) Plan allow eligible employees to contribute a portion of their annual salary, up to the IRS statutory limit. The 401(k) plan includes a Qualified Automatic Contribution Arrangement (“QACA”). This arrangement features automatic deferred contributions with annual escalation, a QACA matching contribution, and an additional matching contribution. Employees vest in employer contributions over six years. The Company’s expense under the 401(k) Plan was approximately $1.4 million in each of 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

At December 31, 2023, the Company had two stock-based compensation plans, which are described below. The compensation cost charged against income for those plans was $0.9 million in each of 2023 and 2022, and $0.7 million in 2021, and is included in “Salaries and Employee Benefits” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. All stock option and restricted stock expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. In addition, expenses for director stock-based compensation were recognized to reflect $0.3 million in 2023 and $0.2 million in each of 2022 and 2021, as part of “Other” expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

2019 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan

Under the Company’s 2019 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and, prior to the adoption of the 2019 Plan by shareholders in April 2019, under the Company’s 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan” and together with the 2019 Plan, the “Equity Plans”), the Company has granted options or restricted stock to officers, directors and key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Under the Equity Plans, the Company was authorized to issue up to 603,883 shares of common stock. Under the Equity Plans, the exercise price of each option is not to be less than 100% of the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant and an option’s maximum term is ten years. If available, the Company normally issues shares out of its treasury for any options exercised or restricted shares issued. The options have vesting schedules from 12 months through 5 years. At December 31, 2023, there were a total of 184,300 shares available for grant under the 2019 Plan. The Company may no longer make grants under the 2009 Plan.

There were no options granted as part of the 2023 and 2022 compensation plan. The fair value of 2021 option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

2021

%

Weighted Average Fair Value

$

7.80

The Company used historical volatility calculated using daily closing prices for its common stock over periods that match the expected term of the option granted to estimate the expected volatility. The risk-free interest rate assumption was based upon U.S. Treasury yields appropriate for the expected term of the Company's stock options based upon the date of grant. The expected dividend yield was

based upon the Company's recent history of paying dividends. The expected life was based upon the options’ expected vesting schedule and historical exercise patterns.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company also maintains the Evans Bancorp, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”). As of December 31, 2023, there were 34,175 shares of common stock available to issue to full-time employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, nearly all of whom are eligible to participate. Under the terms of the Purchase Plan, employees can choose each year to have up to 15% of their annual base earnings withheld to purchase the Company’s common stock. Employees can purchase stock only on June 30 and December 31 each year during the term of the Purchase Plan for 85% of the price on the purchase date. Under the Purchase Plan, the Company issued 13,906, 12,731 and 12,166 shares to employees in 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Compensation cost is calculated by the value of the 15% discount only. The compensation cost that was charged against income for the Purchase Plan was less than $0.1 million in 2023, 2022, and 2021.

The taxable gain from the disposition of TEA is higher than the gain recorded in the financial statements. While a portion of the difference relates to the reversal of prior temporary adjustments for depreciation and amortization, there is also $5.6 million of non-deductible goodwill reflected in the gain recorded in the financial statements for which no deferred tax liabilities have been recorded.

The net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 is included in “other assets” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

In assessing the ability of the Company to realize the benefit of the 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, including assessing all positive and negative evidence and the weight of such evidence. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, availability of operating loss carrybacks, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income, the opportunity for net operating loss carrybacks, and projections for future taxable income over the periods which deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the benefits of these deductible differences at December 31, 2023.

The state tax credit carryforward has an indefinite life with no expiration date in which to utilize the credit.

The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021.

Accrued penalties and interest were immaterial at December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

The Company is subject to routine audits of its tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and various state taxing authorities. The tax years 2020-2022 remain subject to examination by the IRS.

Revenue Recognition Of Non-Interest Income


15. REVENUE RECOGNITION OF NON-INTEREST INCOME



Insurance Service and Fees: Insurance services revenue relates to various revenue streams from services provided by TEA and the Bank. As a result of the sale of TEA, 2023 insurance service and fees revenue reflects eleven months of TEA activity as well as the full year of the Banks’ wealth management activity. See Note 2 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on the sale of TEA.

A description of the Company’s material revenue streams in non-interest income accounted for under ASC 606 follows:

 

TEA earned commission revenue from selling commercial and personal property and casualty (“P&C”) insurance as well as employee benefits (“EB”) solutions to commercial customers.

TEA had agreements with various insurance companies to sell policies to customers on behalf of the carriers. The performance obligation for TEA is to sell annual P&C policies to commercial customers and consumers. This performance obligation is met when a new policy is sold or when an existing policy renews. The policies are generally one year terms. In the agreements with the respective insurance companies, a commission rate is agreed upon.  The commission is recognized at the time of the sale of the policy or when a policy renews. 

   

TEA has signed contracts with insurance carriers that enable TEA to sell benefit plans to commercial customers on behalf of the insurance carriers. The performance obligation for TEA is to sell the plans to commercial customers. After the initial sale when the customer signs an agreement to purchase the offered benefit plan, the performance obligation is met each month when a customer continues utilizing benefit plans from the carrier. The customer does not commit to a specific length of time with the carrier. In the agreements with the respective insurance companies, a commission rate is agreed upon. Revenue is recognized each month when the customer continues with the benefit plan sold by TEA.



TEA also earned contingent profit sharing revenue. The insurance companies measure the loss ratio for TEA’s customers and pay TEA according to how profitable TEA customers are.

TEA has signed written agreements with insurance carriers that document payouts to TEA based on the loss ratios of its customers. The performance obligation for TEA is to maintain a customer base with loss ratios below the agreed upon thresholds. In the contracts with the insurance companies, payout rates based on loss ratios are documented. The consideration is variable as loss ratios vary based on customer experience.  TEA’s performance obligation is over the course of the year as its customers’ performance with insurance carriers is measured throughout the year as losses occur. Due to the variable nature of contingent profit sharing revenue, TEA accrued contingent profit sharing revenue throughout the year based on recent historical results. As loss events occur and overall performance becomes known to TEA, accrual adjustments were made until the cash was ultimately received. 



Financial services commission revenue from the Bank related to wealth management such as life insurance, annuities, and mutual funds sales is also included in the “insurance service and fees” line of the income statement.

The Company earns wealth management fees from its contracts with customers for certain financial services.  Fees that are transaction-based are recognized at the point in time that the transaction is executed.  Other related services provided include financial planning services and the fees the Bank earns are recognized when the services are rendered. 

In addition, included in non-interest income during 2021 were insurance claims services revenue recorded at Frontier Claims Services, Inc. (“FCS”). FCS discontinued operations on December 31, 2021.

FCS has signed agreements with insurance companies to perform claims services including investigative and adjustment services related to residential and commercial lines. The performance obligation was for FCS to investigate the insurance claims and inspecting the damage to determine the extent of the insurance company’s liability. FCS was paid based on time and materials expended to investigate the claim. The rates paid are determined in the agreement between FCS and the respective insurance companies. Upon completion of its claims inspection work, FCS bills the insurance company for services rendered and recognizes the revenue earned.

Service charges on deposit accounts

The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance and overdraft. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as ATM use fees, stop payment charges, statement rendering and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time the Company fulfills the customer's request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Similarly, overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs as this corresponds with the Company's performance obligation. Service charges on deposit accounts are withdrawn from the customer's account balance.

Interchange fee income

The Company earns interchange fees from cardholder transactions conducted through the Mastercard payment network. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized concurrent with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. Interchange income is presented on the Consolidated Statements of Income net of expenses.

17.CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS

The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not reflect various commitments and contingent liabilities which arise in the normal course of business and which involve elements of credit risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk. These commitments and contingent liabilities are commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. A summary of the Bank’s commitments and contingent liabilities at December 31, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:

3,673

Total

$

434,968

$

379,840

Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit all include exposure to some credit loss in the event of non-performance of the customer. The Bank’s credit policies and procedures for credit commitments and financial guarantees are the same as those for extensions of credit that are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because they may expire without being drawn upon, they do not necessarily represent cash requirements to the Bank. The Bank has not incurred any losses on its commitments during the past three years and has not recorded a reserve for its commitments.

The Company has entered into contracts with third parties, some of which include indemnification clauses. Examples of such contracts include contracts with third-party service providers, brokers and dealers, correspondent banks, and purchasers of residential mortgages. Additionally, the Company has bylaws, policies, and agreements under which it agrees to indemnify its officers and directors from liability for certain events or occurrences while the directors or officers are, or were, serving at the Company’s request in such capacities. The Company indemnifies its officers and directors to the fullest extent allowed by law. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is unlimited, but would be affected by all relevant defenses to such claims, as well as directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company. Due to the nature of these indemnification provisions, it is not possible to quantify the aggregate exposure to the Company resulting from them.

Certain lending commitments for construction residential mortgage loans are considered derivative instruments under the guidelines of GAAP.  The changes in the fair value of these commitments, due to interest rate risk, are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as the fair value of these derivatives is not considered to be material.

The Company leases certain offices, land and equipment under long-term operating leases. The aggregate minimum annual rental commitments under these leases total approximately $1.0 million in 2024, $0.8 million in 2025, $0.8 million in 2026, $0.5 million in 2027, $0.4 million in 2028 and $1.0 million thereafter. The rental expense under operating leases contained in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income was $1.1 million in each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021.

All of the Bank’s loans, commitments, and standby letters of credit have been granted to customers in the Bank’s primary market areas of the Western New York and the Finger Lakes Region of New York State. Investments in state and municipal securities also involve governmental entities within the Bank’s primary market area. The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth in Note 4 to these Consolidated Financial Statements, "Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses." The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of loans outstanding. Standby letters of credit were granted to commercial borrowers. The Bank, as a matter of policy, does not extend credit to any single borrower or group in excess of 15% of capital.

Segment Information 19.SEGMENT INFORMATION

For the first eleven months of 2023 the Company was comprised of two primary business segments: banking activities and insurance agency activities. On November 30, 2023 the Company sold significantly all of the assets of the insurance agency to Gallagher, and ceased insurance related activities for the Company. As a result of the sale, insurance revenue and expenses reported within this Annual Report on Form 10-K reflect the first eleven months of 2023. The pre-tax gain on the sale of $20.2 million which includes all associated expenses relating to the sale was recognized during the fourth quarter of 2023 and had a $6.6 million of an increase in tax expense. In addition, the Company wrote off $11.7 million of goodwill and intangibles, and $1.9 million of other asset and liabilities due to the sale of TEA. See Note 2 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on the sale of TEA.

Prior to the sale, insurance agency activities included the selling of various premium-based insurance policies on a commission basis, including business and personal insurance, employee benefits, surety bonds, risk management, life, disability and long-term care coverage, as well as providing claims adjusting services to various insurance companies.

The banking business segment includes both commercial and consumer banking services, including a wide array of lending and depository services as well as offering non-deposit investment products, such as annuities and mutual funds. All sources of segment specific revenues and expenses contributed to management’s definition of net income.

Revenues from transactions between the two segments were not significant. The operating segments were separately managed, and their performance was evaluated based on net income.


The following tables set forth information regarding these segments for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021.

Fair Value Of Assets And Liabilities [Abstract]  
Fair Value Of Financial Instruments 20.FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

There are three levels of inputs to fair value measurements:

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs.

Observable market data should be used when available.

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE ON A RECURRING BASIS

Securities available for sale

Fair values for available for sale securities are determined using independent pricing services and market-participating brokers. The Company utilizes a third-party for these pricing services. The third-party utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information for structured securities, cash flow and, when available, loan performance data. Because many fixed income securities do not trade on a daily basis, the third-party service provider’s evaluated pricing applications apply information as applicable through processes, such as benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing, to prepare evaluations. In addition, our third-party pricing service provider uses model processes, such as the Option Adjusted Spread model, to assess interest rate impact and develop prepayment scenarios. The models and the process take into account market convention. For each asset class, a team of evaluators gathers information from market sources and integrates relevant credit information, perceived market movements and sector news into the evaluated pricing applications and models. The third-party, at times, may determine that it does not have sufficient verifiable information to value a particular security.

On a quarterly basis the Company reviews changes, as submitted by our third-party pricing service provider, in the market value of its securities portfolio. Individual changes in valuations are reviewed for consistency with general interest rate movements and any known credit concerns for specific securities. Additionally, on a quarterly basis the Company has its entire securities portfolio priced by a second pricing service to determine consistency with another market evaluator. If, on the Company’s review or in comparing with another servicer, a material difference between pricing evaluations were to exist, the Company may submit an inquiry to our third-party pricing service provider regarding the data used to value a particular security. If the Company determines it has market information that

would support a different valuation than our third-party service provider’s evaluation it can submit a challenge for a change to that security’s valuation. There were no material differences in valuations noted in 2023 or 2022.

Securities available for sale are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as the valuation provided by the third-party provider uses observable market data.

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE ON A NONRECURRING BASIS

The Company is required, on a nonrecurring basis, to adjust the carrying value of certain assets or provide valuation allowances related to certain assets using fair value measurements. The following table presents for each of the fair-value hierarchy levels as defined in this footnote, those assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2023 and 2022:

Individually analyzed loans

Collateral dependent loans carried at fair value have been partially charged-off or receive individually analyzed allocations of the allowance for credit losses. The Company evaluates and values collateral dependent individually analyzed loans at the time the loan is identified to be individually analyzed, and the fair values of such loans are estimated using Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. Each loan’s collateral value has a unique appraisal and management’s discount of the value is based on factors unique to each individually analyzed loan. The significant unobservable input in determining the fair value is management’s subjective discount on appraisals of the collateral securing the loan, which ranges from 10%-50%. Fair value is estimated based on the value of the collateral securing these loans. Collateral may consist of real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable and the value of these assets is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company. Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, estimated costs to sell, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and the client’s business.

The Company has an appraisal policy in which appraisals are obtained upon a commercial loan being downgraded on the Company’s internal loan rating scale to a special mention or a substandard depending on the amount of the loan, the type of loan and the type of collateral.  All individually analyzed commercial loans are graded substandard or worse on the internal loan rating scale.  For consumer loans, the Company obtains appraisals when a loan becomes 90 days past due or is determined to be individually analyzed, whichever occurs first.  Subsequent to the downgrade or reaching 90 days past due, if the loan remains outstanding and individually analyzed for at least one year more, management may require another follow-up appraisal.  Between receipts of updated appraisals, if necessary, management may perform an internal valuation based on any known changing conditions in the marketplace such as sales of similar properties, a change in the condition of the collateral, or feedback from local appraisers.  Collateral dependent individually analyzed loans had a gross value of $7.9 million, with an allowance for credit loss of $0.8 million, at December 31, 2023 compared with $1.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, at December 31, 2022.

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, including those that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or nonrecurring basis, were as follows:

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.

FHLB and FRB stock

The carrying value of FHLB and FRB stock, which are non-marketable equity investments, approximates fair value.

Loans

Fair value for pooled loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses.

Deposits

The fair value of demand deposits, NOW accounts, muni-vest accounts and regular savings accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of time deposits is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Borrowed Funds and Securities Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase

The fair value of securities sold under agreement to repurchase approximates its carrying value. The fair value of other borrowed funds was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Subordinated Debt

Subordinated debt consists of subordinated notes and trust preferred capital securities. There is no active market for the Company’s trust preferred capital securities and there have been no issuances of similar instruments in recent years.  The Company looked at a market bond index to estimate a discount margin to value the debentures.  The discount margin was very similar to the spread to LIBOR established at the issuance of the debentures.  As a result, the Company determined that the fair value of the adjustable-rate debentures approximates their face amount. The Company utilizes active markets with similar assets to determine the fair value of the subordinated notes.

Pension Plan Assets

Refer to Note 12 to these Consolidated Financial Statements, “Employee Benefits and Deferred Compensation Plans” for the fair value analysis of the Pension Plan assets.

Regulatory Matters 21.REGULATORY MATTERS

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table that follows) of Common Equity Tier I, Total Capital, and Tier I Capital (as defined in FRB regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined in FRB regulations), and of Tier I capital (as defined in FRB regulations) to average assets (as defined in FRB regulations). Management believes that as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

The most recent notification from their regulators categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum Common Equity Tier I, total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category rating.

The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios were as follows:

Dividends are paid as declared by the Board of Directors. Under New York law, the Company may pay dividends only if it is solvent and would not be rendered insolvent by the dividend payment and only from unrestricted and unreserved earned surplus, or if there is no surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.

The Company and the Bank are subject to dividend restrictions imposed by the FRB and the OCC, respectively. In general, it is the policy of the FRB that dividends should be paid only out of current earnings and only if the prospective rate of earnings retention by the holding company is consistent with the organization’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. Dividends may be paid by the Bank only if it would not impair the Bank’s capital structure, if the Bank’s surplus is at least equal to its common capital and if the dividends declared in any year do not exceed the total of retained net profits in that year combined with retained profits of the preceding two years.

Organization And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Organization And General Organization and General

Evans Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized as a New York business corporation and incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on October 28, 1988 for the purpose of becoming a bank holding company. Through August 2004, the Company was registered with the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”) as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. In August 2004, the Company filed for, and was approved as, a Financial Holding Company under the Bank Holding Company Act. The Company currently conducts its business through its two subsidiaries: Evans Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), a nationally chartered bank, and its subsidiary, Evans National Holding Corp. (“ENHC”); and Evans National Financial Services, LLC (“ENFS”) and its subsidiary, The Evans Agency LLC (“TEA”). Unless the context otherwise requires, the term “Company” refers collectively to Evans Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company conducts its business through its subsidiaries. It does not engage in any other substantial business.

On November 30, 2023 the Company sold substantially all of the assets of TEA to Gallagher and ceased its insurance business for the Company. See Note 2 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on the sale of TEA.

Regulatory Requirements Regulatory Requirements

The Company is subject to the rules, regulations, and reporting requirements of various regulatory bodies, including the FRB, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), the New York State Department of Financial Services (“NYSDFS”), and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Principles Of Consolidation Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank, ENFS and their subsidiaries. All material inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Accounting Estimates Accounting Estimates

Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in order to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment and management evaluates them on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. We adjust our estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements in periods as they occur.

Cash And Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks and interest-bearing deposits at banks.

Securities Securities

Securities which the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and are stated at cost, adjusted for discounts and premiums that are recognized in interest income over the period to the earlier of the call date or maturity using the level yield method. These securities represent debt issuances of local municipalities in the Bank’s market area for which market prices are not readily available. Management periodically evaluates the financial condition of the municipalities for any indication that the Bank does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of their bonds.

Securities classified as available for sale are stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported, net of deferred income taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, a component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses on sales of securities are computed using the specific identification method.

In instances where fair value of an available-for-sale debt security is less than its amortized cost basis and the Company does not intend to sell the available-for-sale debt security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis, the difference between the fair value and the amortized cost basis is separated into (a) the amount representing the credit loss and (b) the amount related to all other factors. The amount related to the credit loss is recognized as an allowance for credit losses while the amount related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes. If the Company intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not to be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis, the security is written down to fair value with the entire amount recognized in earnings. Subsequently, the Company accounts for the debt security as if the security had been purchased on the measurement date of the write down at an amortized cost basis equal to the previous amortized cost basis less the amount of the write down recognized in earnings.

The Bank does not engage in securities trading activities.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) System. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are recorded as a component of interest income.

Federal Reserve Bank Stock Federal Reserve Bank Stock

The Bank is a member of the FRB. FRB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security. Both cash and stock dividends are recorded as a component of interest income.

Loan Servicing Assets Loan Servicing Assets

Servicing assets are related to residential mortgage loans sold and are recognized at the time of sale when servicing is retained with the income statement effect recorded in gains on loans sold. Servicing assets are initially recorded at fair value based on the present value of the contractually specified servicing fee, net of estimated servicing costs, over the estimated life of the loan. The servicing assets are subsequently amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans. The Company periodically evaluates servicing assets for impairment based upon the fair value of the assets as compared to their carrying amount.

Loans Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or pay-off, generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for unamortized deferred fees or costs. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance and is recognized using the interest method. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the effective yield method of accounting for amortizing loans and straight line over an estimated life for lines of credit.

Loans become past due when the payment date has been missed. If payment has not been received within 30 days, then the loan is delinquent. Delinquent loans are placed into three categories; 30-59 days past due, 60-89 days past due, or 90+ days past due. Loans 90 or more days past due are considered non-performing.

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent, unless the credit is well secured and in process of collection. If the credit is not well secured and in the process of collection, the loan is placed on non-accrual status and is subject to charge-off if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. A loan can also be placed on nonaccrual before it is 90 days delinquent if management determines that it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect principal or interest due according to the contractual terms of the loan.

All interest due but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual status or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cost-recovery method, until it again qualifies for an accrual basis. Any cash receipts on non-accrual loans reduce the carrying value of the loans. Loans are returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, the adverse circumstances which resulted in the delinquent payment status are resolved, and payments are made in a timely manner for a period of time sufficient to reasonably assure their future dependability.

Loans placed on non-accrual status are individually assessed for impairment. Loan impairment is measured based on the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell, if the loan is collateral dependent. Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, estimated costs to sell, and/or

management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and the client’s business. The Company has an appraisal policy in which appraisals are obtained upon a loan being downgraded on the Company’s internal loan rating scale to special mention or substandard depending on the amount of the loan, the type of loan and the type of collateral. All impaired nonaccrual loans are either graded special mention or substandard on the internal loan rating scale. Subsequent to the downgrade, if the loan remains outstanding and impaired for at least one year more, management may require another follow-up appraisal. Between receipts of updated appraisals, if necessary, management may perform an internal valuation based on any known changing conditions in the marketplace such as sales of similar properties, a change in the condition of the collateral, or feedback from local appraisers.

The Bank monitors the credit risk in its loan portfolio by reviewing certain credit quality indicators (“CQI”). The primary CQI for its commercial mortgage and commercial and industrial (“C&I”) portfolios is the individual loan’s credit risk rating. The following list provides a description of the credit risk ratings that are used internally by the Bank when assessing the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses:

Acceptable or better: Credits with a slight risk of loss. The loan is secured by collateral of sufficient value to cover the loan by an acceptable margin. The financial statements of the company demonstrate sufficient net worth and repayment ability. The company has established an acceptable credit history with the bank and typically has a proven track record of performance. Management is experienced, and has an at least average ability to manage the company. The industry has an average or less than average susceptibility to wide fluctuations in business cycles.

Watch: Credits are generally acceptable but warrant greater attention than those rated acceptable or better. Temporary performance issues, if left unresolved, may result in above average risk. The borrower’s financial position is not typically strong. Earnings, while still positive, may be inconsistent. Industry issues or external events (such as possible litigation exposure) may cause concern. Although ability to repay is not an immediate concern, more regular monitoring may be necessary as a result of the short-term performance issues or sensitivities to external events that may result in a weakening condition. Any perceived weaknesses are acceptable when viewed against the overall credit and collateral risks assumed. Borrowers are likely fully leveraged when compared to others in a similar industry and their ability to raise capital may be limited.

Special Mention: Credits that have potential weaknesses that warrant management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Borrowers in this category may be experiencing adverse operating trends (declining revenues or margins) or an ill proportioned balance sheet. Adverse economic or market conditions, such as interest rate increases or the entry of a new competitor, may also support a special mention rating. Nonfinancial reasons for rating a credit exposure as special mention include management problems, pending litigation, stale financial statements, an ineffective loan agreement or other material structural weakness, and any other significant deviation from prudent lending practices.

Potential weaknesses in commercial real estate loans may include, construction delays, changes in concept or project plan, slow leasing, rental concessions, deteriorating market conditions, impending expiry of a major lease, or other adverse events that do not currently jeopardize repayment.

Substandard: Credits that are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility of loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Substandard assets have a high probability of payment default, or they have other well-defined weaknesses. They are generally characterized by current or expected unprofitable operations, inadequate debt service coverage, inadequate liquidity, or marginal capitalization. Repayment may depend on collateral or other credit risk mitigates. Although substandard assets in the aggregate will have distinct potential for loss, an individual asset’s loss potential does not have to be distinct for the asset to be rated substandard.

A well-defined weakness may manifest itself via:

significant deterioration in financial condition of the borrower;

impairment of primary repayment source;

material deviation from planned absorption of rental or sales units; or

material deterioration in market conditions.


Commercial real estate credits evidencing one or more of the following characteristics are evaluated for a possible substandard classification:

slower than projected leasing or sales activity that threatens to result in protracted repayment or default;

lower than projected lease rates or sales prices that jeopardize repayment capacity;

changes in concept or plan due to unfavorable market conditions;

construction or tax liens;

inability to obtain necessary zoning or permits necessary to develop the project as planned;

a diversion of needed cash from an otherwise viable property to satisfy the demands of a troubled borrower or guarantor;

material imbalances in the construction budget;

significant construction delays;

expiration of a major lease or default by a major tenant;

poorly structured of overly liberal repayment terms.

When a project has slowed or stalled and the guarantor is providing some support but the loan has not been restructured, unless the guarantor is providing support of principal payments sufficient to retire the debt under reasonable terms, a substandard classification is typically warranted. If the guarantor is keeping interest payments current and shows a documented willingness and capacity to do so in the future, and collateral values protect against loss, the loan should generally be left on accrual. This level of support; however, does not fully mitigate the well-defined weaknesses in the credit and does not preclude a substandard classification.

Doubtful: Credits that have all the weaknesses inherent in one classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. A doubtful asset has a high probability of total or substantial loss but because of specific pending events that may strengthen the assets, its classification as loss is deferred. Borrowers in this category are usually in default, lack adequate liquidity or capital and lack the resources necessary to remain an operating entity. Because of high probability of loss, nonaccrual accounting treatment is required for doubtful assets.

Circumstances that might warrant a doubtful classification for commercial real estate loans could include collateral values that are uncertain due to a lack of comparisons in an inactive market, impending changes such as zoning classification, environmental issues, or the pending resolution of legal issues that may affect the realization of value in a sale.

Loss: Credits that are considered uncollectable and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. Borrowers in this category are often in bankruptcy, have formally suspended debt repayments, or have otherwise ceased normal business operations. The Company does not maintain an asset on the balance sheet if realizing its value would require long-term litigation or other lengthy recovery efforts.

The Company’s consumer loans, including residential mortgages and home equities, are not individually risk rated or reviewed in the Company’s loan review process. Consumers are not required to provide the Company with updated financial information as is a commercial customer. Consumer loans also carry smaller balances. Given the lack of updated information since the initial underwriting of the loan and small size of individual loans, the Company does not have credit risk ratings for consumer loans and instead uses delinquency status as the credit quality indicator for consumer loans. However, once a consumer loan is identified as impaired, it is individually evaluated for impairment.

Loans acquired in a business combination are recorded at fair value with no carry-over of an acquired entity’s previously established allowance for credit losses. Purchased impaired loans represent specifically identified loans with evidence of credit deterioration for which it was probable at acquisition that the Company would be unable to collect all contractual principal and interest payments. For purchased impaired loans, the excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value of acquired loans is recognized as interest income over the remaining lives of the loans. Subsequent decreases in the expected principal cash flows require the Company to evaluate the need for additions to the Company’s allowance for credit losses. Subsequent improvements in expected cash flows result first in the recovery of any related allowance for credit losses and then in recognition of additional interest income over the then remaining lives of the loans. For all other acquired loans, the difference between the fair value and outstanding principal balance of the loans is recognized as an adjustment to interest income over the lives of those loans.

Allowance For Credit Losses

Allowance for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses represents the amount charged against the Bank’s earnings to maintain an allowance level deemed necessary based on management’s evaluation of expected credit losses at the balance sheet date. In estimating expected losses in the loan portfolio, borrower-specific financial data and macro-economic assumptions are utilized to project losses over a reasonable and supportable forecast period.

On a quarterly basis, management of the Bank meets to review and determine the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. In making this determination, the Bank’s management analyzes the ultimate collectability of the loans in its portfolio by incorporating feedback provided by the Bank’s internal loan staff, an independent internal loan review function and information provided by examinations performed by regulatory agencies.

The analysis of the allowance for credit losses is composed of two components: individually analyzed loans and pooled loan portfolio allocation. The individually analyzed loans includes a detailed review of each impaired loan and an allocation is made based on this analysis. Factors may include the appraisal value of the collateral, the age of the appraisal, the type of collateral, the performance of the loan to date, the performance of the borrower’s business based on financial statements, and legal judgments involving the borrower. For pooled portfolio loans that share similar risk characteristics, the Bank utilizes statistically developed models to estimate amounts and timing of expected future cash flows, correlations of credit losses with various macroeconomic assumptions including unemployment and gross domestic product, as well as other factors used to determine the borrowers’ abilities to repay obligations.

For both the criticized and non-criticized loans in the pooled loan portfolio allocation, additional qualitative factors are applied. The qualitative factors applied to the pooled loan portfolio allocation reflect management’s evaluation of various conditions. The conditions evaluated include the following: levels and trends in delinquencies, non-accruals, and criticized loans; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in lending policies and credit quality underwriting standards; experience, ability, and depth of management; national and economic trends and conditions; changes in the quality of the loan review system; concentrations of credit risk; changes in collateral value; and large loan risk.

The total possible qualitative allocation is the difference between the maximum loss rate and the quantitative model loss rate. Management uses the same model to calculate the maximum loss rates and expected loss rates for each segment by stressing the model to worse-case economic environment scenarios. The economic forecasts in the maximum loss rate calculation reflect the worst economic environment observed for each economic factor. In addition, prepayment and curtailment rate speeds are adjusted to the 10th percentile, slowest observation. The resulting maximum loss rate calculation represents a lifetime reserve and is inputted into the qualitative framework within the current calculation. The difference between the quantitative model and the maximum model results are then allocated based on weight and risk assignments.

Foreclosed Real Estate Foreclosed Real Estate

Foreclosed real estate is initially recorded at fair value (net of costs of disposal) at the date of foreclosure. Costs relating to development and improvement of property are capitalized, whereas costs relating to the holding of property are expensed. Assessments are periodically performed by management, and an allowance for losses is established through a charge to operations if the carrying value of a property exceeds fair value.

Operating Leases Operating Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception by assessing whether there is an identified asset and whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating leases with a term of more than one year are included in operating lease Right-of-Use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities. The Company made a policy election to apply the short-term lease exemption to any operating leases with an original term of less than 12 months, therefore no ROU asset or lease liability is recorded for these operating leases.

ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized on the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses the incremental borrowing rate commensurate with the lease term based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

Insurance Service And Fees Insurance Service and Fees

Commission revenue from selling commercial and personal property and casualty insurance on behalf of the insurance carriers is recognized at the time of the sale of the policy or when a policy renews. Commission revenue from selling benefit plans to commercial customers on behalf of the insurance carriers is recognized each month when the customer continues with the benefit plan. The Company also receives contingent commissions from insurance companies which are based on the overall profitability of their relationship based

primarily on the loss experience of the insurance placed by the Company. Contingent commissions from insurance companies are accrued throughout the year based on recent historical results. As loss events occur and overall performance becomes known, accrual adjustments are recorded until the cash is ultimately received. Financial services commissions and insurance claims services revenue are recognized when the services are rendered. Information on insurance service and fee revenue is included in Note 15 to these Consolidated Financial Statements, “Revenue Recognition of Non-interest Income.”

Goodwill And Other Intangible Assets Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company records the excess of the cost of acquired entities over the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, less liabilities assumed, as goodwill. The Company does not amortize goodwill and any acquired intangible asset with an indefinite useful economic life, but reviews them for impairment at a reporting unit level on an annual basis, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may be impaired. The Company has selected December 31 as the date to perform the annual impairment test. A reporting unit is defined as any distinct, separately identifiable component of one of our operating segments for which complete, discrete financial information is available and reviewed regularly by the segment’s management. Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on the Company’s balance sheet. The Company amortizes acquired intangible assets with definite useful economic lives, consisting of core deposit intangibles, customer relationships and trade names, over their useful economic lives, which range from 5 to 10 years, utilizing the straight-line method.

Business Combinations Business Combinations

The company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. Upon obtaining control of the acquired entity, the Company records all identifiable assets and liabilities at their estimated fair values. Goodwill is recorded when the consideration paid for an acquired entity exceeds the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired. Changes to the acquisition date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be made as adjustments to goodwill over a 12-month measurement period following the date of acquisition. Such adjustments are attributable to additional information obtained related fair value estimates of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Certain costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred.

Subordinated Debt Subordinated Debt

Long-term borrowings are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, which are recognized in interest expense using the interest method. Debt issuance costs are recognized in interest expense over the life of the instrument.
Bank-Owned Life Insurance Bank-Owned Life Insurance

The Bank has purchased insurance on the lives of Company directors and certain members of the Company’s management. The policies accumulate asset values to meet future liabilities, including the payment of employee benefits, such as retirement benefits. Increases in the cash surrender value are recorded as other income in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

Properties And Equipment Properties and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Properties and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 39 years. Impairment losses on properties and equipment are realized if the carrying amount is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows and exceeds its fair value.

Income Taxes Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax effects attributable to differences between the financial statement value of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the periods 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 income tax expense.

Earnings Per Share Earnings Per Share

Earnings per common share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is based on increasing the weighted-average number of shares of common stock by the number of shares of common stock that would be issued assuming the exercise of stock options. Such adjustments to weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding are made only when such adjustments are expected to dilute earnings per common share. Potential common shares that would have the effect of increasing diluted earnings per share are considered to be anti-dilutive and are not included in calculating diluted earnings per share. There were 82,979, 55,555 and 57,322 anti-dilutive shares in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes both net income and other comprehensive income (loss), including the change in unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, and the change in the liability related to pension costs, net of tax.

Employee Benefits Employee Benefits

The Bank maintains a non-contributory, qualified, defined benefit pension plan (the “Pension Plan”) that covered substantially all employees before it was frozen on January 31, 2008. All benefits eligible participants had accrued in the Pension Plan until the freeze date have been retained. Employees have not accrued additional benefits in the Pension Plan from that date. The actuarially determined pension benefit in the form of a life annuity is based on the employee’s combined years of service, age and compensation. The Bank’s policy is to fund the minimum amount required by government regulations. Employees are eligible to receive these benefits at normal retirement age.

The Bank maintains a defined contribution 401(k) plan and accrues contributions due under this plan as earned by employees. In addition, the Bank maintains a non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for certain members of senior management, a non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan for directors and certain members of management, and a non-qualified Executive Incentive Retirement Plan for certain members of management, as described more fully in Note 12 to these Consolidated Financial Statements, “Employee Benefits and Deferred Compensation Plans.”

Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period of the stock-based grant based on the estimated grant date value of the stock-based compensation that is expected to vest. The Company accounts for forfeitures of stock awards when they occur. When stock awards are granted, the Company assumes that the service condition will be achieved when determining the initial amount of compensation cost recognized. Information on the determination of the estimated value of stock-based awards used to calculate stock-based compensation expense is included in Note 13 to these Consolidated Financial Statements, “Stock-Based Compensation.”

Loss Contingencies Loss Contingencies

Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Financial Instruments With Off-Balance Sheet Risk Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into off-balance sheet financial arrangements consisting of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The Bank provides guarantees in the form of standby letters of credit, which represent an irrevocable obligation to make payments to a third party if the borrower defaults on its obligation under a borrowing or other contractual arrangement with the third party. The Bank could potentially be required to make payments to the extent of the amount guaranteed by the standby letters of credit based on the terms of the agreement. There were no liabilities recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets related to standby letters of credit as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, reflecting management’s assessment of the value of the guarantee given the lack of historical activity and the likelihood of current customers to draw on the letters of credit. The Bank has not incurred any losses on its commitments during the past three years and has not recorded a reserve for its commitments.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgement regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect these estimates.

Advertising Costs Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements And Developments RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND DEVELOPMENTS

The FASB establishes changes to U.S. GAAP in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs when they are issued by FASB. Effective January 1, 2023 the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage

Disclosures. Excluding those ASUs, the Company did not adopt any accounting pronouncements during its current fiscal year that had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments – The Company adopted this ASU (commonly known as the Current Expected Credit Loss Impairment Model, or CECL) effective January 1, 2023. The main objective of this ASU is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in CECL replace the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates.

Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, the Company recognized a $2.7 million increase in the allowance for credit losses as of January 1, 2023 with a net of tax cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of $2.0 million.

ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures – The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2023. This ASU eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") in ASC 310-40, "Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors" for entities that have adopted the CECL model introduced by ASU 2016-13. ASU 2022-02 also requires that public business entities disclose current-period gross charge-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 adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, but did affect the financial statement disclosures.

Accounting standards that have been recently issued but not yet required to be adopted as of December 31, 2023, to the extent management believes their adoption will have not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures, are discussed below.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The updated accounting guidance requires expanded reportable segment disclosures, primarily related to significant segment expenses which are regularly provided to the company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Retrospective application is required. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have on the Company's financial statement disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The updated accounting guidance requires expanded income tax disclosures, including the disaggregation of existing disclosures related to the tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Prospective application is required, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have on the Company's financial statement disclosures.

Revenue Recognition Of Non-Interest Income (Policy)

Dec. 31, 2023
Revenue Recognition Of Non-Interest Income [Abstract]  
Revenue Recognition 

Insurance Service and Fees: Insurance services revenue relates to various revenue streams from services provided by TEA and the Bank. As a result of the sale of TEA, 2023 insurance service and fees revenue reflects eleven months of TEA activity as well as the full year of the Banks’ wealth management activity. See Note 2 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on the sale of TEA.

A description of the Company’s material revenue streams in non-interest income accounted for under ASC 606 follows:

 

TEA earned commission revenue from selling commercial and personal property and casualty (“P&C”) insurance as well as employee benefits (“EB”) solutions to commercial customers.

TEA had agreements with various insurance companies to sell policies to customers on behalf of the carriers. The performance obligation for TEA is to sell annual P&C policies to commercial customers and consumers. This performance obligation is met when a new policy is sold or when an existing policy renews. The policies are generally one year terms. In the agreements with the respective insurance companies, a commission rate is agreed upon.  The commission is recognized at the time of the sale of the policy or when a policy renews. 

   

TEA has signed contracts with insurance carriers that enable TEA to sell benefit plans to commercial customers on behalf of the insurance carriers. The performance obligation for TEA is to sell the plans to commercial customers. After the initial sale when the customer signs an agreement to purchase the offered benefit plan, the performance obligation is met each month when a customer continues utilizing benefit plans from the carrier. The customer does not commit to a specific length of time with the carrier. In the agreements with the respective insurance companies, a commission rate is agreed upon. Revenue is recognized each month when the customer continues with the benefit plan sold by TEA.



TEA also earned contingent profit sharing revenue. The insurance companies measure the loss ratio for TEA’s customers and pay TEA according to how profitable TEA customers are.

TEA has signed written agreements with insurance carriers that document payouts to TEA based on the loss ratios of its customers. The performance obligation for TEA is to maintain a customer base with loss ratios below the agreed upon thresholds. In the contracts with the insurance companies, payout rates based on loss ratios are documented. The consideration is variable as loss ratios vary based on customer experience.  TEA’s performance obligation is over the course of the year as its customers’ performance with insurance carriers is measured throughout the year as losses occur. Due to the variable nature of contingent profit sharing revenue, TEA accrued contingent profit sharing revenue throughout the year based on recent historical results. As loss events occur and overall performance becomes known to TEA, accrual adjustments were made until the cash was ultimately received. 



Financial services commission revenue from the Bank related to wealth management such as life insurance, annuities, and mutual funds sales is also included in the “insurance service and fees” line of the income statement.

The Company earns wealth management fees from its contracts with customers for certain financial services.  Fees that are transaction-based are recognized at the point in time that the transaction is executed.  Other related services provided include financial planning services and the fees the Bank earns are recognized when the services are rendered. 

In addition, included in non-interest income during 2021 were insurance claims services revenue recorded at Frontier Claims Services, Inc. (“FCS”). FCS discontinued operations on December 31, 2021.

FCS has signed agreements with insurance companies to perform claims services including investigative and adjustment services related to residential and commercial lines. The performance obligation was for FCS to investigate the insurance claims and inspecting the damage to determine the extent of the insurance company’s liability. FCS was paid based on time and materials expended to investigate the claim. The rates paid are determined in the agreement between FCS and the respective insurance companies. Upon completion of its claims inspection work, FCS bills the insurance company for services rendered and recognizes the revenue earned.
