Debt Securities
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company sold available-for-sale debt securities with an amortized cost basis of $1.2 billion, realizing a loss of $179.6 million, and repositioned the proceeds into a purchase of available-for-sale residential mortgage-backed securities with an amortized cost basis of $1.1 billion. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company sold available-for-sale U.S. Treasury securities with an amortized cost of $56.4 million and realized a gain of $489,000.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value as of September 30, 2024, excluding accrued interest receivable, of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities are presented below by contractual maturity. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities of mortgage-backed securities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties.

At September 30, 2024, the Company had 43 available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, comprised of 6 U.S. Treasury securities, 35 residential mortgage-backed securities and two CRT securities. The unrealized losses on the available-for-sale debt securities were the result of changes in market interest rates compared to the date the securities were acquired rather than the credit quality of the issuers or underlying loans. The Company does not currently intend to sell and based on current conditions it does not believe it is likely that the Company will be required to sell these available-for-sale debt securities before recovery of the amortized cost of such securities in an unrealized loss position and has therefore recorded the unrealized losses related to this portfolio in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss), net (“AOCI”). Held-to-maturity securities consist of government guaranteed securities for which no loss is expected. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no allowance for credit losses was established for available-for-sale or held-to-maturity debt securities.
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, debt securities with carrying values of approximately $425,000 and $1.6 million, respectively, were pledged to secure certain customer deposits.
