 offset the Company’s interest rate risk. For additional information on these derivatives see Note 2— “Acquisitions” in the 2024 Form 10-K and Note 5— “Derivatives.” Changes in the fair values of these derivatives, and related fees, are included in “Banking and service fees” on the condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.Additionally, the Company applies hedge accounting to certain derivative instruments for interest rate risk management purposes. The Company uses such derivative instruments to hedge forecasted variable cash flows from floating-rate deposits. For designated cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are initially recorded in OCI and subsequently recognized in earnings once the hedged item affects earnings. Derivative gains and losses reclassified to earnings are recognized in interest expense on the condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, consistent with the hedged floating-rate deposits.Hedge accounting relationships, including the associated risk management objective and strategy, are formally documented at inception. Additionally, the effectiveness of hedge accounting relationships is monitored throughout the duration of the hedge period. Hedge accounting treatment is discontinued either when the derivative is terminated, when it is determined that a derivative is not expected to be, or has ceased to be, effective as a hedge or if the Company removes the cash flow hedge designation. If a hedge accounting relationship is terminated, the amount in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) is recognized in earnings when the cash flows that were originally hedged affect earnings. However, if the original hedged transaction is deemed probable not to occur, the corresponding amount in AOCI is immediately recognized in income.Derivative assets and liabilities are not subject to any counterparty netting and are presented at fair value on a gross basis in “Other assets” and “Accounts payable and other liabilities”, respectively, in the condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash flows related to derivative assets and liabilities are presented in “Net change in assets and liabilities which provide (use) cash-Other Assets” and “Net change in assets and liabilities which provide (use) cash-Accounts payable and other liabilities,” respectively, in the condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.New Accounting StandardsRecently Adopted Accounting StandardsOn July 1, 2024, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-02 which permits an election, if certain conditions are met, to account for tax equity investments using the proportional amortization method, which was previously limited to low-income housing tax credit (“LIHTC”) investments.
