HELD-TO-MATURITY SECURITIES
HELD-TO-MATURITY SECURITIES
These are debt securities that Huntington has the intent and ability to hold until maturity. The debt securities are carried at amortized cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts using the interest method.

During 2016 and 2015, Huntington transferred federal agencies, mortgage-backed securities and other agency securities totaling $2.9 billion and $3.0 billion, respectively from the available-for-sale securities portfolio to the held-to-maturity securities portfolio. At the time of the transfer, $58 million of unrealized net losses and $6 million of unrealized net gains were recognized in OCI, respectively. The amounts in OCI will be recognized in earnings over the remaining life of the securities as an offset to the adjustment of yield in a manner consistent with the amortization of the premium on the same transferred securities, resulting in an immaterial impact on net income.
Listed below are the contractual maturities of held-to-maturity securities at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

Security Impairment
Huntington evaluates the held-to-maturity securities portfolio on a quarterly basis for impairment. Impairment would exist when the present value of the expected cash flows is not sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis at the balance sheet date. Under these circumstances, any impairment would be recognized in earnings. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, The Company evaluated held-to-maturity securities with unrealized losses for impairment and concluded no OTTI is required.
