Loan Charge-Offs and RecoveriesLoan charge-offs are recorded after considering such factors as the borrower’s financial condition, the value of underlying collateral, guarantees, and the status of collection activities. Loan balances considered uncollectible are charged-off against the ALLL and deducted from the carrying value of the related loans. Consumer loans are subject to mandatory charge-off at specified delinquency dates in accordance with regulatory guidelines. The value of the underlying collateral for consumer loans is considered when determining the charge-off amount if repossession is reasonably assured and in process. Refer to Note 4—Loans and Leases for additional information. Realized recoveries of amounts previously charged-off are credited to the ALLL. Allowance for Loan and Lease LossesThe ALLL represents management’s best estimate of credit losses expected over the life of the loan or lease, adjusted for expected contractual payments and the impact of prepayment expectations. Estimates for loan and lease losses are determined by analyzing quantitative and qualitative components present as of the evaluation date using the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 326 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. Adjustments to the ALLL are recorded with a corresponding entry to the provision or benefit for credit losses. The ALLL is calculated based on a variety of considerations, including, but not limited to actual net loss history of the various loan and lease pools, delinquency trends, changes in forecasted economic conditions, loan growth, estimated loan life, and changes in portfolio credit quality. Loans and leases are segregated into pools with similar risk characteristics and each have a model that is utilized to estimate the ALLL. These ALLL models estimate the probability of obligor default (“PD”) and loss given default (“LGD”) for individual loans and leases within each risk pool based on historical loss experience, borrower characteristics, collateral type, forecasts of future economic conditions, expected future recoveries and other factors. The loan and lease level undiscounted ALLL is calculated by applying the modeled PD and LGD to monthly forecasted loan and lease balances which are adjusted for contractual payments, prior defaults, and prepayments. Prepayment assumptions were developed through a review of BancShares’ historical prepayment activity and considered forecasts of future economic conditions. Forecasted LGDs are adjusted for expected recoveries. Model outputs may be adjusted through a qualitative assessment to reflect trends that may not be adequately reflected within the models,
