## Management's discussion and analysis

the borrower, who could not obtain comparable terms from alternative financing sources. In the first nine months of 2020, 33 loans totaling $1.8 million were identified as troubled debt restructurings.

The balance of troubled debt restructured loans decreased $2.0 million from December 31, 2019. Changes during the first nine months of 2020 can be attributed to new restructurings in conjunction with bankruptcy offset by payments received on existing troubled debt restructured loans, including the $1.9 million payoff of a commercial loan relationship. Please refer to Note 8 “Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses,” for additional information on troubled debt restructurings.

In March 2020, the Company began offering short-term loan modifications to assist borrowers during the COVID-19 national emergency. These modifications typically provide for the deferral of both principal and interest for 90 days. The CARES Act, along with a joint agency statement issued by banking regulators, provides that modifications meeting certain criteria made in response to COVID-19 do not need to be accounted for as a TDR. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has granted approximately 6,800 deferrals to its customers with aggregate principal balances of $1.4 billion. Payment deferrals granted on approximately 6,300 accounts or $1.3 billion in balances have expired as of October 23, 2020. It is possible that some of these deferrals will be extended in order to provide support for certain COVID-19 impacted customers. As of October 23, 2020, for the accounts on which payment deferrals have expired, 145 accounts or $13.2 million are past due 30-59 days, 25 accounts or $0.4 million are past due 60-89 days and 45 accounts or $1.2 million are past due 90 or more days and still in accruing status.

We discontinue interest accruals on a loan when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to fully collect principal or interest due according to the contractual terms of the loan. A loan is also placed on nonaccrual status when, based on regulatory definitions, the loan is maintained on a “cash basis” due to the weakened financial condition of the borrower. Generally, loans 90 days or more past due are placed on nonaccrual status, except for consumer loans, which are placed on nonaccrual status at 150 days past due.

Nonperforming loans are closely monitored on an ongoing basis as part of our loan review and work-out process. The probable risk of loss on these loans is evaluated by comparing the loan balance to the fair value of any underlying collateral or the present value of projected future cash flows. Losses or a specifically assigned allowance for loan losses are recognized where appropriate.

Nonperforming loans, including loans held for sale, increased $17.5 million to $49.7 million at September 30, 2020 compared to $32.2 million at December 31, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, $40.4 million of loans were moved to nonaccrual including the transfer of five commercial real estate relationships totaling $32.5 million and one commercial, financial, agricultural and other relationship totaling $0.7 million. Offsetting these additions was a $3.9 million payoff of a commercial real estate relationship, a $1.9 million payoff of a commercial, financial, agricultural and other relationship and a $2.3 million paydown of a commercial, financial, agricultural and other relationship.

The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 177.58% as of September 30, 2020, compared to 160.28% at December 31, 2019, and 141.64% at September 30, 2019. The amount of specific reserves included in the allowance for nonperforming loans was determined by using fair values obtained from current appraisals and updated discounted cash flow analyses. The allowance for credit losses includes specific reserves of $7.4 million and general reserves of $80.9 million as of September 30, 2020. Specific reserves increased $5.0 million from December 31, 2019, and $5.9 million from September 30, 2019. The increase from both periods is primarily due to specific reserves of $5.7 million added on the $27.0 million in new commercial real estate nonaccrual loans. Offsetting this was a $0.9 million decrease in specific reserves related to commercial, financial, agricultural and other loans and an $0.8 million decrease related to commercial real estate loans due to the aforementioned payoffs. Management believes that the allowance for credit losses is at a level deemed sufficient to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2020.

Criticized loans totaled $189.0 million at September 30, 2020 and represented 2.7% of the loan portfolio. The level of criticized loans increased as of September 30, 2020 when compared to December 31, 2019, by $88.4 million, or 87.8%. Classified loans totaled $80.2 million at September 30, 2020 compared to $52.0 million at December 31, 2019, an increase of $28.2 million, or 54.1%. The increase in criticized loans is the result of the aforementioned changes in nonperforming loans as well as credit downgrades on borrowers primarily in the hospitality and retail sectors. Delinquency on accruing loans for the same period decreased $1.9 million, or 14.4%, the majority of which are residential real estate loans.

The allowance for credit losses was $88.3 million at September 30, 2020, or 1.27% of total loans outstanding, compared to 0.83% reported at December 31, 2019, and 0.82% at September 30, 2019. General reserves, or the portion of the allowance related to loans that were not specifically evaluated for impairment, as a percentage of non-impaired loans were 1.17% at September 30, 2020 compared to 0.80% at December 31, 2019 and 0.80% at September 30, 2019. General reserves as a percentage of non-impaired originated loans were 1.24% at September 30, 2020 compared to 0.86% at December 31, 2019 and 0.87% at September 30, 2019. The increase in the general reserve for both periods is reflective of higher qualitative reserves
