Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Bank of Hawaii Corporation (the “Parent”) is a Delaware corporation and a bank holding company headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii.  Bank of Hawaii Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) provide a broad range of financial products and services to customers in Hawaii, Guam, and other Pacific Islands.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Parent and its subsidiaries.  The Parent’s principal operating subsidiary is Bank of Hawaii (the “Bank”).

The consolidated financial statements in this report have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Certain prior period information has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.  Operating results for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and accompanying notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to the financial statements.

Variable Interest Entities

Variable interests are defined as contractual ownership or other interests in an entity that change with fluctuations in an entity’s net asset value.  The primary beneficiary consolidates the variable interest entity (“VIE”).  The primary beneficiary is defined as the enterprise that has both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the VIE.

The Company participates in limited partnerships or limited liability companies that sponsor low-income housing projects.  These entities provide funds for the construction and operation of apartment complexes that provide affordable housing to lower-income households.  If these developments successfully attract a specified percentage of residents falling in that lower-income range, state and/or federal income tax credits are made available to the partners.  The tax credits are generally recognized over 10 years for federal and 5 years for state.  In order to continue receiving the tax credits each year over the life of the entity, the low-income residency targets must be maintained.

Prior to January 1, 2015, the Company utilized the effective yield method whereby the Company recognized tax credits generally over 10 years and amortized the initial cost of the investment to provide a constant effective yield over the period that tax credits are allocated to the Company.  On January 1, 2015, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-01, “Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects” prospectively for new investments. ASU No. 2014-01 permits reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met.  As permitted by ASU No. 2014-01, the Company elected to continue to utilize the effective yield method for investments made prior to January 1, 2015.

Table of Contents

Unfunded commitments to fund these low-income housing entities were $39.0 million and $21.3 million as of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively.  These unfunded commitments are unconditional and legally binding and are recorded in other liabilities in the consolidated statements of condition.  See Note 6 Affordable Housing Projects Tax Credit Partnerships for more information.

The Company also has limited partnership interests in solar energy tax credit partnership investments.  These partnerships develop, build, own and operate solar renewable energy projects.  Over the course of these investments, the Company expects to receive federal and state tax credits, tax-related benefits, and excess cash available for distribution, if any.  The Company may be called to sell its interest in the limited partnerships through a call option once all investment tax credits have been recognized.  Tax benefits associated with these investments are generally recognized over 6 years.

Although these entities meet the definition of a VIE, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the entities, as the general partner has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the entities.  While the partnership agreements allow the limited partners, through a majority vote, to remove the general partner, this right is not deemed to be substantive as the general partner can only be removed for cause.

The investments in these entities are initially recorded at cost, which approximates the maximum exposure to loss as a result of the Company’s involvement with these unconsolidated entities.  The balance of the Company’s investments in these entities was $123.6 million and $84.6 million as of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively, and is included in other assets in the consolidated statements of condition.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans and Leases

The current expected credit loss (“CECL”) approach requires an estimate of the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure (or pool of exposures).  It replaces the incurred loss approach’s threshold that delayed the recognition of a credit loss until it was probable a loss event was incurred.

The estimate of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amounts.  Historical loss experience is generally the starting point for estimating expected credit losses.  The Company then considers whether the historical loss experience should be adjusted for asset-specific risk characteristics or current conditions at the reporting date that did not exist over the historical period used.  The Company considers future economic conditions and portfolio performance as part of a reasonable and supportable forecast period.

Portfolio segment is defined as the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic methodology to determine its allowance for credit losses (“ACL”).  The Company has designated two portfolio segments of loans and leases, commercial and consumer.   These portfolio segments are further disaggregated into classes, which represent loans and leases of similar type, risk characteristics, and methods for monitoring and assessing credit risk.  The commercial portfolio segment is disaggregated into four classes, commercial and industrial, commercial mortgage, construction, and lease financing.  The consumer portfolio segment is also disaggregated into four classes, residential mortgage, home equity, auto, and other (which is comprised of revolving credit, installment, and consumer lease financing arrangements).  Each commercial and consumer portfolio class is also segmented based on risk characteristics.

Commercial portfolio segment

The historical loss experience for the commercial portfolio segment is primarily determined using a Cohort method.  This method pools loans into groups (“cohorts”) sharing similar risk characteristics and tracks each cohort’s historical net charge-offs to calculate a historical loss rate.  The historical loss rates for each cohort are then averaged to calculate an overall historical loss rate which is applied to current loan balances to arrive at the quantitative baseline portion of the ACL for most of the commercial portfolio segment.

Table of Contents

The Company also considers qualitative adjustments to the quantitative baseline.  For example, the Company considers the impact of current environmental factors at the reporting date that did not exist over the period from which historical experience was used.  Relevant factors include, but are not limited to, concentrations of credit risk (geographic, large borrower, and industry), economic trends and conditions, changes in underwriting standards, experience and depth of lending staff, trends in delinquencies, and the level of criticized loans.

The Company also incorporates a one-year reasonable and supportable (“R&S”) loss forecast period to account for the effect of forecasted economic conditions and other factors on the performance of the commercial portfolio, which could differ from historical loss experience.  The Company performs a quarterly asset quality review which includes a review of forecasted gross charge-offs and recoveries, nonperforming assets, criticized loans and leases, and risk rating migration.  The asset quality review is reviewed by management and the results are used to consider a qualitative overlay to the quantitative baseline.  After the one-year R&S loss forecast period, this overlay adjustment assumes an immediate reversion to historical loss rates for the remaining expected life of the loan.

The Company establishes a specific reserve for individually evaluated loans which do not share similar risk characteristics with the loans included in the quantitative baseline.  These individually evaluated loans are removed from the pooling approach discussed above for the quantitative baseline, and include non-accrual loans, troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), and other loans as deemed appropriate by management.  In addition, the Company individually evaluates “reasonably expected” TDRs, which are identified by the Company as a commercial loan expected to be classified as a TDR within the next six months.  Management judgment is utilized to make this determination.

Consumer portfolio segment

The historical loss experience for the consumer portfolio segment is primarily determined using a Vintage method.  This method measures historical loss behavior in the form of a historical loss rate for homogenous loan pools that originate in the same period, known as a vintage.  The historical loss rates are then applied to origination loan balances by vintage to determine the quantitative baseline portion of the ACL for most of the consumer portfolio segment.  The homogenous loan pools are segmented according to similar risk characteristics (e.g., residential mortgage, home equity) and may be sub-segmented further (e.g., geography, lien position) depending on the product.

After determining the ACL quantitative baseline, the Company also considers qualitative adjustments to the quantitative baseline.  For example, the Company considers the impact of current environmental factors at the reporting date that did not exist over the period from which historical experience was used.  The environmental factors considered for the consumer portfolio are similar to the aforementioned factors considered for the commercial portfolio.

The Company also incorporates a one-year R&S loss forecast period to account for forecasted economic conditions and other factors on the performance of the consumer portfolio which could differ from historical loss experience.  The Company performs a quarterly asset quality review designed to estimate gross charge-offs and recoveries for the forecast period.  Management evaluates additional factors that may not be reflected in the net charge-off forecast to determine whether a qualitative overlay adjustment is warranted.

As of the January 1, 2020, implementation date, and following the one-year R&S loss forecast period, the Company chose a reversion back to average historical loss rates using a straight line method based on forecasted and relatively benign economic conditions at the measurement date, with the exception of the home equity portfolio.  For the home equity portfolio, the Company elected to revert back to average historical loss rates using a straight line method over the halfway point of the average life of the portfolio.  The halfway point is used for the home equity portfolio given the longer average life length compared to the other consumer portfolios.

Since the first quarter of 2020, following the one-year R&S loss forecast period, the Company chose an immediate reversion back to average historical loss rates.  The reversion method was due to the impact of COVID-19 which created a much more volatile and uncertain economic outlook.  The Company is forecasting that losses during the R&S loss forecast period will be impacted by the unprecedented fiscal, monetary and regulatory programs to support the economy, as well as the assistance the Company is providing to borrowers through its various credit assistance programs.  Given this forecast and the uncertainty of the impact of COVID-19 after the one-year R&S loss forecast period, the Company determined that an immediate reversion was appropriate for this measurement date.

The Company establishes a specific reserve for individually evaluated loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with the loans included in the quantitative baseline.  These individually evaluated loans include “reasonably expected” TDRs, identified by the Company as a consumer loan for which a borrower’s application of loan modification due to hardship has been approved by the Company.

See Note 4 Loans and Leases and the Allowance for Credit Losses for more information.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Held-to-Maturity (“HTM”) Debt Securities

The Company’s HTM debt securities are also required to utilize the CECL approach to estimate expected credit losses.  Substantially all of the Company’s HTM debt securities are issued by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises.  These securities carry the explicit and/or implicit guarantee of the U.S. government, are widely recognized as “risk free,” and have a long history of zero credit loss.  Therefore, the Company did not record an allowance for credit losses for these securities.

The Company also carries a limited portfolio of HTM municipal bonds.  As of September 30, 2020, the entire portfolio consisted of State of Hawaii bonds carrying a Moody’s rating of Aa2, with a portion of these bonds escrowed to maturity.  To estimate the expected credit losses, the Company utilized the probability of default (“PD”)/loss given default (“LGD”) methodology.  The PD, which represents the percentage likelihood that a bond will default over a given time period, is primarily based upon the bond’s current credit rating and maturity and computed using Moody’s rating transition matrix, which provides the probability of a rating migrating to default within a one-year period (adjustments are made for longer maturities).  The LGD, which represents the percentage of loss if a default occurs, is based on the median recovery rate for municipals according to Moody’s.  The Company’s exposure at default, represented by the carrying value of the municipal bond portfolio, is multiplied with the PD and the LGD to arrive at the expected credit loss.  Management may exercise discretion to make adjustments based on environmental factors.  As of September 30, 2020, the Company determined that the expected credit loss on its municipal bond portfolio was de minimis, and therefore, an allowance for credit losses was not recorded.  See Note 3 Investment Securities for more information.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Available-for-Sale (“AFS”) Debt Securities

The impairment model for available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities differs from the CECL approach utilized by HTM debt securities because AFS debt securities are measured at fair value rather than amortized cost.  Although ASU No. 2016-13 replaced the legacy other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) model with a credit loss model, it retained the fundamental nature of the legacy OTTI model.  One notable change from the legacy OTTI model is when evaluating whether credit loss exists, an entity may no longer consider the length of time fair value has been less than amortized cost.  For AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis.  If either criteria is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income.  For AFS debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors.  In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors.  If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security.  If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis.  Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income.  Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as a provision for (or reversal of) credit losses.  Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of an AFS security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.  As of September 30, 2020, the Company determined that the unrealized loss positions in AFS securities were not the result of credit losses, and therefore, an allowance for credit losses was not recorded.  See Note 3 Investment Securities for more information.

Accrued Interest Receivable

Upon adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” and its related amendments on January 1, 2020, the Company made the following elections regarding accrued interest receivable:

Collateral-Dependent Loans

A financial asset is considered collateral-dependent when the debtor is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale or operation of the collateral.  For all classes of loans and leases deemed collateral-dependent, the Company elected the practical expedient to estimate expected credit losses based on the collateral’s fair value less cost to sell.  In most cases, the Company records a partial charge-off to reduce the loan’s carrying value to the collateral’s fair value less cost to sell.  Substantially all of the collateral consists of various types of real estate including residential properties; commercial properties such as retail centers, office buildings, and lodging; agriculture land; and vacant land.

Reserve for Unfunded Commitments

The reserve for unfunded commitments (the “Unfunded Reserve”) represents the expected credit losses on off-balance sheet commitments such as unfunded commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  However, a liability is not recognized for commitments unconditionally cancellable by the Company.  The Unfunded Reserve is recognized as a liability (other liabilities in the consolidated statements of condition), with adjustments to the reserve recognized in other noninterest expense in the consolidated statements of income.  The Unfunded Reserve is determined by estimating future draws and applying the expected loss rates on those draws.  Future draws are based on historical averages of utilization rates (i.e., the likelihood of draws taken).  To estimate future draws on unfunded balances, current utilization rates are compared to historical utilization rates.  If current utilization rates are below historical utilization rates, the rate difference is applied to the committed balance to estimate the future draw.  Loss rates are estimated by utilizing the same loss rates calculated for the Allowance general reserves.  For the commercial portfolio, the historical loss rates were calculated utilizing the Cohort methodology, while the consumer portfolio utilized the Vintage methodology.

Operating, Accounting and Reporting Considerations related to COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, including Hawaii and the Pacific Islands.  In response to this crisis, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was passed by Congress and signed into law on March 27, 2020.  The CARES Act provides an estimated $2.2 trillion to fight the COVID-19 pandemic and stimulate the economy by supporting individuals and businesses through loans, grants, tax changes, and other types of relief.  Some of the provisions applicable to the Company include, but are not limited to:

Also in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the National Credit Union Administration (“NCUA”), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), in consultation with the state financial regulators (collectively, the “agencies”) issued a joint interagency statement (issued March 22, 2020; revised statement issued April 7, 2020).  Some of the provisions applicable to the Company include, but are not limited to:

The Company began offering short-term loan modifications to assist borrowers during the COVID-19 national emergency.  These modifications generally involve principal and/or interest payment deferrals for up to six months.  These modifications generally meet the criteria of both Section 4013 of the CARES Act and the joint interagency statement, and therefore, the Company does not account for such loan modifications as TDRs.  As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to negatively impact the economy, the Company began offering an additional round of loan modifications to borrowers continuing to struggle as a result of COVID-19.  Similar to the initial modifications granted, the additional round of loan modifications are granted specifically under Section 4013 of the CARES Act and generally involve principal and/or interest payment deferrals for up to an additional six months for commercial and consumer loans, and principal-only deferrals for up to an additional 12 months for selected commercial loans.  On August 3, 2020, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council on behalf of its members (collectively “the FFIEC members”) issued a joint statement on additional loan accommodations related to COVID-19.  The joint statement clarifies that for loan modifications in which Section 4013 is being applied, subsequent modifications could also be eligible under Section 4013.  To be eligible, each loan modification must be (1) related to the COVID event; (2) executed on a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019; and (3) executed between March 1, 2020, and the earlier of (A) 60 days after the date of termination of the National Emergency or (B) December 31, 2020.  Substantially all of the Company’s additional round of loan modifications granted under Section 4013 of the CARES Act are in compliance with the aforementioned FFIEC requirements.  Accordingly, the Company does not account for such loan modifications as TDRs.

In April 2020, the FASB staff issued a Q&A document on accounting for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The FASB staff noted that entities may elect to not evaluate whether certain concessions provided by lessors to mitigate the effects of COVID-19 on lessees are lease modifications.  This option is intended to reduce the operational challenges of individually assessing every COVID-19 related lease concession to determine whether it results in having to apply Topic 842 lease modification guidance. This election is available only for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that do not result in a substantial increase in either the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee.  For entities that choose this election, they may account for the concession as if no changes to the lease contract were made.  Under that accounting, a lessor would continue to recognize income.  The Company has elected to apply the relief provided by the FASB not to evaluate individual contracts.  The Company also elected not to apply the lease modification framework for concessions granted.

The Company, as lessor, granted lease concessions on some of its sales-type finance leases for equipment and automobiles.  Equipment lease concessions primarily consists of interest-only payments for a six-month period.  Regular lease payments resume after the six-month period and the maturity date is extended by six months.  Automobile lease concessions primarily consist of six-month extension programs whereby lease payments currently due are deferred and shifted to the end of the lease term.  Interest income continues to accrue during the deferral period.  As of September 30, 2020, the Company has not offered a material amount of additional concessions.

The Company, as lessor, leases and subleases real property to lessee tenants under operating leases.  As of September 30, 2020, no material lease concessions have been granted to lessees.  The Company, as lessee, also leases real estate property for branch locations, ATM locations, and office space.  As of September 30, 2020, the Company has not requested any lease concessions.

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2020

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.”  This ASU significantly changes how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income.  The standard replaces the “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” approach known as current expected credit loss (“CECL”).  CECL applies to: (1) financial assets measured at amortized cost, and (2) certain off-balance sheet credit exposures.  This includes, but is not limited to, loans, leases, held-to-maturity securities, loan commitments, and financial guarantees.  The CECL approach does not apply to AFS debt securities.  For AFS debt securities with unrealized losses, entities measure credit losses in a similar manner to legacy GAAP except that the credit losses are now recognized as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities.  As a result, entities will recognize improvements to estimated credit losses immediately in earnings rather than as interest income over time.  ASU No. 2016-13 also changes the accounting for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans.  ASU 2016-13 expanded or revised the disclosure requirements related to loans and debt securities.  In addition, entities are required to disclose the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination.  ASU No. 2016-13 was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019.

The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2020, and applied the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, as of January 1, 2020 (i.e., modified retrospective approach).  Upon adoption of the standard, the Company recorded a $5.1 million decrease to the reserve for credit losses, which resulted in a $3.6 million after-tax increase to retained earnings as of January 1, 2020.  The tax effect resulted in an increase to deferred tax liabilities.  This “Day 1” impact of CECL adoption is summarized below:

The Company did not record an allowance for AFS or HTM securities on Day 1 as the investment portfolio consists primarily of debt securities explicitly or implicitly backed by the U.S. Government for which credit risk is deemed minimal.  The impact going forward will depend on the composition, characteristics, and credit quality of the loan and securities portfolios as well as the economic conditions at future reporting periods.  See Note 3 Investment Securities and Note 4 Loans and Leases and the Allowance for Credit Losses for more information.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.”  This ASU eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.  Among the changes, entities will no longer be required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements.  ASU No. 2018-13 was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted.  As ASU No. 2018-13 only revises disclosure requirements, it did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments.”  With respect to Topic 326, ASU 2019-04 clarifies the scope of the credit losses standard and addresses issues related to accrued interest receivable balances, recoveries, variable interest rates and prepayments, among other things.  The Company made the accounting policy elections not to measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable, to write-off accrued interest amounts by reversing interest income, and to present accrued interest receivable separately from the related financial asset on the statements of financial condition.  The amendments to Topic 326 were adopted concurrently with ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020.  The financial statement impact in regards to the amendments to Topic 326 are incorporated within ASU 2016-13 mentioned above.  With respect to Topic 825, on recognizing and measuring financial instruments, ASU 2019-04 addresses the scope of the guidance, the requirement for remeasurement under ASC 820 when using the measurement alternative, certain disclosure requirements and which equity securities have to be remeasured at historical exchange rates.  The amendments to Topic 825 were effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.  The Company elected to early adopt the amendments to Topic 815 in June 2019.  See Note 1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, for more information.

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326); Targeted Transition Relief.”  This ASU allows entities to irrevocably elect, upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the fair value option on financial instruments that (1) were previously recorded at amortized cost and (2) are within the scope of ASC 326-20 if the instruments are eligible for the fair value option under ASC 825-10.  The fair value option election does not apply to HTM debt securities.  Entities are required to make this election on an instrument-by-instrument basis.  ASU 2019-05 was adopted concurrently with ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020.  The Company did not elect the fair value option, and therefore, ASU 2019-05 did not impact the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses.”  This ASU requires entities to include certain expected recoveries of the amortized cost basis previously written off, or expected to be written off, in the allowance for credit losses for purchased credit-deteriorated (“PCD”) financial assets.  It also provides transition relief related to TDRs, allows entities to exclude accrued interest amounts from certain required disclosures and clarifies the requirements for applying the collateral maintenance practical expedient.  ASU 2019-11 was adopted concurrently with ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020, and did not have a material impact to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
