Reworded paragraphs (29)

Previous wording

Migration is an analysis that tracks a closed pool of loans for a configurable period of time and calculates a loss ratio on only those loans in the pool at the start date based on outstanding balance. Vintage is a predictive loss model that includes a reasonable approximation of probable and estimable future losses by tracking each loan's net losses over the life of the loan as compared to its original balance. For demand deposit overdrafts, the allowance for credit losses is measured using the historical loss rate. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not included in the collective evaluation. When management determines that foreclosure is probable, the expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate.

Previous wording

The Company uses a number of economic variables in its scenarios to estimate the Allowance for credit losses (ACL), with the most significant drivers being an unemployment rate forecast and qualitative adjustments. In the September 30, 2025 estimate, the Company assumed a 2-year unemployment forecast range of 4.3% to 4.7%, changed from 4.2% to 4.7% for the June 30, 2025 estimate. Historical loss rates from periods where the average unemployment rate matches the forecast range are considered when calculating the forecast period loss rate. In total, the changes in loss rates decreased the reserve $0.1 million for the quarter.

Previous wording

Based on sensitivity analysis of all portfolios, a 0.0050% change (slight improvement or decline on bank's scale) in all 11 qualitative risk factors (where assigned) would have a $2.3 million impact on the reserve allocation. Changing each factor by 0.01% (moderate improvement or decline) would have a $4.6 million impact. Management recognizes that these are extreme scenarios and it is very unlikely that all risk factors would change by 0.005% or 0.01% simultaneously. For the September 30, 2025 estimate, management did not adjust any qualitative factors utilized in the previous quarter.

The commercial and industrial ("C&I") loan portfolio consists of loans to corporate borrowers that are primarily in small to mid-size industrial and commercial companies. Collateral securing these loans includes equipment, machinery, inventory, receivables and vehicles.

Previous wording

Home equity loans increased $19.6 million during the first nine months of 2025. The Company's home equity loans represent loans to consumers that are secured by a second (or junior) lien on a residential property. Home equity loans allow consumers to borrow against the equity in their home without paying off an existing first lien. These loans consist of home equity lines of credit ("HELOC") and amortized home equity loans that require monthly installment payments. Home equity loans are underwritten with less documentation, lower loan-to-value ratios and for shorter terms than residential mortgage loans. The amount of credit extended is directly related to the value of the real estate at the time the loan is made.

Previous wording

Management systematically monitors the loan portfolio and the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis to provide for expected losses inherent in the portfolio. Management assesses the risk in each loan type based on historical trends, the general economic environment of its local markets, individual loan performance and other relevant factors. The Company's estimate of future economic conditions utilized in its provision estimate is primarily dependent on expected unemployment ranges over a two-year period. Beyond two years, a straight line reversion to historical average loss rates is applied over the life of the loan pool in the migration methodology. The vintage methodology applies future average loss rates based on net losses in historical periods where the unemployment rate was within the forecasted range. As a result of the Company’s quarterly analysis of the adequacy of the Allowance for Credit Losses, the Company recorded a recovery of credit losses of $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to a $1.2 million provision for credit losses recorded in the third quarter of 2024.

Previous wording

The Allowance for Credit Losses decreased slightly from $21.9 million at December 31, 2024 to $19.7 million at September 30, 2025. The Company recorded a recovery of credit losses of $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to a provision for credit losses of $1.2 million for the comparable period in 2024, and a recovery of credit losses of $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2025. The recovery of credit losses in the third quarter was primarily related to net recoveries of $0.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. More specifically, the allowance for credit losses allocated to the commercial and industrial portfolio has decreased by $1.7 million since December 31, 2024. The decrease is primarily due to an upgrade of a specific credit during the second quarter of 2025 that was downgraded in the third quarter of 2023, but has since seen improved financial performance.

The Allowance for Credit Losses decreased slightly from $19.9 million at December 31, 2025 to $19.7 million at March 31, 2026. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to no provision for credit losses for the comparable period in 2025, and a provision for credit losses of $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. The provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2026 was primarily related to a commercial loan for a movie theater that had been transferred to nonaccrual status in the third quarter of 2024. Due to further cash flow deterioration, a $0.85 million charge-off was recorded in the quarter ending March 31, 2026, leaving an outstanding balance of approximately $5.0 million. This charge-off was partially offset by a decline in loan balances from the fourth quarter of 2025 and net recoveries (exclusive of the movie theater charge-off) during the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
