Summary. We recorded net income of $16.9 million and $18.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in 2025 second quarter results as compared to 2024 is due primarily to a prior year $2.7 million gain on Visa Inc. common stock, a $1.1 million unfavorable change in the fair value due to price of capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights and a $1.5 million increase in the provision for credit losses that were partially offset by a $3.3 million increase in net interest income.
Current wording
Summary. We recorded net income of $17.5 million and $13.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in 2025 third quarter results as compared to 2024 is due primarily to a $3.6 million favorable change in the fair value due to price of capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights and a $3.5 million increase in the net interest income that were partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in non-interest expense.
Previous wording
We recorded net income of $32.5 million and $34.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in 2025 year-to-date results as compared to 2024 is primarily due to a $3.9 million unfavorable change in the fair value due to price of capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights, the Visa Inc. common stock gain mentioned above, an increase in non-interest expense and an increase in the provision for credit losses that were partially offset by increases in net-interest income and gain on mortgage loans.
Current wording
We recorded net income of $50.0 million and $48.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in 2025 year-to-date results as compared to 2024 is primarily due to a $10.3 million increase in net interest income that was partially offset by a $4.0 million increase in non-interest expense, a $2.0 million increase in the provision for credit losses, a $1.8 million decrease in mortgage loan servicing, net and the prior year including a $2.7 million gain on Visa Inc. common stock.
Previous wording
Our net interest income totaled $44.6 million during the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $3.3 million, or 7.9% from the year-ago period. This increase primarily reflects a $142.7 million increase in average interest-earning assets and an 18 basis point increase in our tax equivalent net interest income as a percent of average interest-earning assets (the “net interest margin”).
Current wording
Our net interest income totaled $45.4 million during the third quarter of 2025, an increase of $3.5 million, or 8.4% from the year-ago period. This increase primarily reflects a $173.8 million increase in average interest-earning assets and a 17 basis point increase in our tax equivalent net interest income as a percent of average interest-earning assets (the “net interest margin”).
Previous wording
For the first six months of 2025, net interest income totaled $88.3 million, an increase of $6.8 million, or 8.3% from 2024. This increase primarily reflects a $155.2 million increase in average interest-earning assets and a 19 basis point increase in our net interest margin.
Current wording
For the first nine months of 2025, net interest income totaled $133.7 million, an increase of $10.3 million, or 8.3% from 2024. This increase primarily reflects a $161.6 million increase in average interest-earning assets and a 19 basis point increase in our net interest margin.
Previous wording
The increase in average interest-earning assets in both the three and six month periods of 2025 as compared to the same periods in 2024 primarily reflects growth in commercial and mortgage loans funded from a decrease in securities available for sale and an increase in core deposits.
Current wording
The increase in average interest-earning assets in both the three andnine month periods of 2025 as compared to the same periods in 2024 primarily reflects growth in commercial loans funded from decreases in installment loans and securities available for sale and held to maturity as well as an increase in deposits.
Previous wording
The increases in our net interest margin during the three and six month periods in 2025 is attributed to 28 basis point and 27 basis point decreases, respectfully in interest expense as a percent of average interest-earning assets ("Cost of Funds") that were only partially offset by 10 and eight basis point decreases, respectfully in interest income as a percent of average interest-earning assets ("Asset Yield") during those same periods. These decreases are primarily attributed to the decreases in the federal funds rate since September of 2024. Our Cost of Funds has been positively impacted by deposit pricing sensitivity to the decreases in interest rates discussed above as well as changes in funding mix (such as shifting from generally higher cost brokered deposits and other borrowings to relatively lower cost core deposits). Our Asset Yield has been negatively impacted by lower rates on variable rate loans as well as new loans being originated at lower rates than existing loans being paid off that has been partially offset by a shift in earning asset mix from generally lower rate investment securities to higher rate loans. See Asset/liability management.
Current wording
The increases in our net interest margin during the three and nine month periods in 2025 is attributed to 27 basis point decreases in interest expense as a percent of average interest-earning assets ("Cost of Funds") that were only partially offset by 10 basis point and eight basis point decreases, respectfully in interest income as a percent of average interest-earning assets ("Asset Yield") during those same periods. These decreases are primarily attributed to the decreases in the federal funds rate since September of 2024. Our Cost of Funds has been positively impacted by deposit pricing sensitivity to the decreases in interest rates discussed above. Our Asset Yield has been negatively impacted by lower rates on variable rate earning assets. However, this impact has been partially offset by the origination of new fixed rate loans at rates higher than those in our current portfolio, as well as a shift in earning asset mix from generally lower rate investment securities to higher rate loans. See Asset/liability management.
Previous wording
Our net interest income is also impacted by our level of non-accrual loans. In the second quarter and first six months of 2025, non-accrual loans averaged $7.7 million and $7.2 million, respectively. In the second quarter and first six months of 2024, non-accrual loans averaged $4.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

Previous wording
The $1.48 million increase in the provision for credit losses expense on loans from the prior year quarter to date period is primarily due to an increase in specific reserves on a $15.4 million commercial real estate loan that was downgraded during the quarter and an increase in pooled reserves on both commercial and retail loans that were partially offset by a four basis point decrease in allocations based on subjective factors and a reduction in specific reserves on two commercial and industrial loans due primarily to pay downs on those credits.
Current wording

The decrease in the allocation based on subjective factors was due in part to a generally less pessimistic economic outlook including previous expectations of the impact of new tariffs.
Previous wording
The $0.33 million increase in the provision for credit losses expense on loans from the prior year to date period is primarily due to a net increase in specific reserve allocations on both the commercial and retail loans (see above discussion on commercial specific loans) as well as a decrease in gross recoveries of previously charged-off commercial and retail loans, that were partially offset by a decrease in pooled allocations in the retail loan portfolio.

Previous wording
Our Loan Sales Margin is impacted by several factors including competition and the manner in which the loan is sold. Net gains on mortgage loans are also impacted by recording fair value accounting adjustments. Excluding these fair value accounting adjustments, the Loan Sales Margin would have been 1.59% and 1.32% in the second quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and would have been 1.73% and 1.28% in the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. These increases in the Loan Sales Margin (excluding fair value adjustments) were generally due in part to higher primary-to-secondary market pricing spreads relative to the same period last year.

With the completion of this exchange, we were able to record the fair value of the Visa Class C common stock through income (as it was convertible into publicly traded Visa Class A common stock) while the Visa Class B-2 common stock continues to be carried at zero. See note #13 to the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Previous wording
As summarized in the table above, the decrease in capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights during the first six months of 2025 is primarily attributed to the originated mortgage loan servicing rights sale. This transaction was executed in part to reduce the amount of exposure the bank had to rate variances that may impact the mortgage servicing right asset valuation in future periods. With this sale, it is expected mortgage loan servicing, net will decrease commensurate with the amount of servicing sold relative to the same periods in 2024. While the magnitude of fair value adjustments would also be expected to decrease, those adjustments are dependent upon factors that are harder to predict.

This compares to an income tax expense of $3.5 million and $11.9 million in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2024, respectively. The changes in expense for the first nine months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 is primarily due to changes in pretax income that was partially offset by an increase in non-taxable income and certain low income housing and solar tax credits.
Previous wording
Our actual income tax expense is different than the amount computed by applying our statutory income tax rate to our income before income tax primarily due to tax-exempt interest income, tax-exempt income from the increase in the cash surrender value on life insurance, and differences in the value of stock awards that vest and stock options that are exercised as compared to the initial fair values that were expensed.

Previous wording
Securities AFS in unrealized loss positions are evaluated quarterly for impairment related to credit losses. For securities AFS in an unrealized loss position, we first assess whether we intend to sell, or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For securities AFS that do not meet this criteria, we evaluate whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, we consider the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, adverse conditions specifically related to the security and the issuer and the impact of changes in market interest rates on the market value of the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, we compare the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security with 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 for the security, a credit loss exists and an ACL is recorded, limited to the amount that the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an ACL is recognized in other comprehen sive income (loss), net of applicable taxes. No ACL for securities AFS was needed at June 30, 2025. The increase in unrealized losses during the second quarter and first six months of 2025 is primarily attributed to an increase in interest rates since December 31, 2024. See note #3 to the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included within this report for further discussion.
