 (loss).Held-to-maturity debt securities. Debt securities that the Company has the intent and ability to hold until maturity are classified as HTM and are carried at amortized cost, net of the allowance for credit losses. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the security as an adjustment to its yield using the interest method. Realized gains or losses from the sale of securities are calculated using the specific identification method. HTM debt securities are generally placed on nonaccrual status using factors similar to those described for loans. The amortized cost of the Company's HTM debt securities excludes accrued interest receivable, which is included in "Other assets" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company has made an accounting policy election not to recognize an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity debt securities, as the Company reverses any accrued interest against interest income if a debt security is placed on nonaccrual status. Any cash collected on nonaccrual HTM securities is applied to reduce the security's amortized cost basis and not as interest income. Generally, the Company returns a HTM security to accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal become current under the contractual terms of the security, and the collectability of remaining principal and interest is no longer doubtful. (g)  Allowance for Credit Losses on Held-to-Maturity Debt SecuritiesThe allowance for credit losses for HTM debt securities is recorded at the time of purchase, acquisition, or when the Company designates securities as HTM, representing the Company's best estimate of current expected credit losses as of the date of the consolidated balance sheets. For each major HTM debt security type, the allowance for credit losses is estimated collectively for groups of securities with similar risk characteristics. For debt securities that do not share similar risk characteristics, the losses are estimated individually. Debt securities that are either guaranteed or issued by the U.S. government or government agency, are highly rated by major rating agencies, and have a long history of no credit losses, are an example of such securities to which the Company applies a zero credit loss assumption. Any expected credit loss is provided through the allowance for credit losses on HTM debt securities and deducted from the amortized cost basis of the security, so that the balance sheet reflects the net amount that the Company expects to collect.
