The cost basis and estimated fair value of available-for-sale debt securities at March 31, 2024, by contractual maturity, were as follows. Securities not due at a single maturity date, primarily collateralized mortgage obligations and residential mortgage-backed securities, are shown separately.

Sales of available-for-sale securities were as follows for the quarter ended:

Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) balances, net of tax, related to available-for-sale securities, were as follows:

Securities with market values of approximately $338.5 million and $324.1 million were pledged as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, as collateral for repurchase agreements, public funds, and for other purposes as permitted or required by law.

Securities with unrealized losses at March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023 not recognized in income are as follows:

Unrealized losses on securities have not been recognized into income because the securities are of high credit quality or have undisrupted cash flows. Management has the intent and ability to hold these securities for the foreseeable future, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates and volatility in securities markets. The fair values are expected to recover as the securities approach maturity.

At March 31, 2024, collateralized debt obligations with a cost basis of $2.2 million and fair value of $1.4 million, had previously recorded impairment of $173 thousand, which will not be recoverable until maturity of the security.

Accrued interest receivable on AFS debt securities totaled $2.2 million at March 31, 2024, and $2.4 million at December 31, 2023. These amounts are excluded from the estimate of credit losses. The Bancorp made the policy election to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis of AFS debt securities and report accrued interest separately on the consolidated balance sheet.
