Current report

In June 2025, we completed the outsourcing of our consumer credit card portfolio resulting in the sale of $74.2 million of consumer credit card loans and recognition of a $4.3 million gain, net of the related consumer credit card rewards liability.

Current report

Net income increased $3.5 million to $121.9 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to net income of $118.4 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, for the same period in 2024, which is primarily attributable to higher net interest income, partially offset by higher provision for credit losses during the 2025 period.

Current report

Payment services revenues consist of interchange fees that merchants pay for processing electronic payment transactions and ATM service fees. Payment services revenues decreased $0.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, payment services revenues decreased $2.1 million, as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in credit card interchange revenue and a decrease in debit card revenues.

Current report

Service charges on deposit accounts are primarily driven by service fees and overdraft charges on deposit accounts. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $0.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, service charges on deposit accounts increased $1.1 million, as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by an increase in ACH and wire services.

Current report

Other income primarily includes company-owned life insurance revenues, check printing income, agency stock dividends, and gains on sales of miscellaneous assets. Other income decreased $1.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and decreased $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily due to a $7.3 million valuation allowance for loans transferred from loans held for investment to held for sale related to the pending sale of the Arizona and Kansas branches, partially offset by a $4.3 million gain received net of the related credit card rewards liability for the sale of the consumer credit card portfolio and an increase in life insurance proceeds.

Current report

Noninterest expense decreased $1.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 and decreased $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024.

Current report

Employee benefits expense increased $1.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher medical costs. Employee benefits expense increased $1.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher long-term incentives and payroll taxes, which were partially offset by lower medical costs.

Current report

Other expenses primarily include advertising and public relations costs; office supply, postage, freight, telephone, and travel expenses; donations expense; debit and credit card expenses; board of director fees; legal expenses; and other losses. Other expenses increased $1.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and increased $2.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily resulting from increases in donation expense compared to the same periods in 2024.

Current report

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law and contains numerous tax provisions. Since the bill was signed after the close of the quarter, no financial statement impact was reflected in the second quarter of 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the OBBBA on the consolidated financial statements.

Current report

Long-term debt increased $119.8 million, or 90.6%, to $252.0 million as of June 30, 2025 from $132.2 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily as a result of the Company’s issuance of $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.625% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2035 (the “2025 Subordinated Notes”) in the second quarter of 2025, which was partially offset by a reduction in debt related to the New Market Tax Credits that the Company consolidated through its controlling interest in variable interest entity investments. For additional information regarding the 2025 Subordinated Notes, see “Note – Long-Term Debt” in the accompanying “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this report.

Previous report

As previously disclosed, we recognized a material, partial charge-off of approximately $49.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 related to a single commercial and industrial loan relationship, for which a $26.5 million specific reserve was held as of September 30, 2024. As previously disclosed, on January 8, 2025, the borrower, under the control of a court-appointed receiver (the “Receiver”), entered into an asset purchase agreement with a third-party buyer pursuant to which the borrower agreed to sell substantially all of its assets to the buyer. Closing of such transaction occurred on January 21, 2025 and cash collateral retained by the Company was subsequently applied as payment. Proceeds of $16.5 million were received by the Receiver pursuant to the asset purchase agreement of which $10.0 million was applied to the remaining $12.3 million balance of the commercial and industrial loan relationship in the first quarter of 2025, after giving effect to the prior charge-off in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Previous report

Noninterest expense increased $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 driven by higher salaries and wages, which were partially offset by lower FDIC insurance premiums.

Previous report

Professional fees decreased $1.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in audit fees along with a decrease in consulting services related to process improvements.

Our loan portfolio consists of a mix of real estate, consumer, commercial, agricultural, and other loans, including fixed, adjustable, and variable rate loans. Our real estate loans comprise commercial real estate, construction (including residential, commercial, and land development construction loans), residential, agricultural, and other real estate loans. Fluctuations in the loan portfolio are directly related to the economies of the communities we serve. While each loan we originate must meet minimum underwriting standards we establish through our credit policies, our bankers are granted limited discretion to approve and price loans within pre-approved limits which assures that we are responsive to community needs in each market area and remain competitive. We fund our loan portfolio primarily with the core deposits from our clients and cash flows off of the investment portfolio. Historically, we have not relied on brokered deposits as a source of funding. We have also utilized wholesale funding sources to a limited extent.

Previous wording

The Company expects to see continued volatility in the economic markets, which may include recessionary signs in the economy resulting from, among other things, uncertain conditions due to changes in U.S. policies like the implementation of new tariffs and other trade policies.

Previous wording

A slowdown, downturn, or recession in the U.S. economy or changes in U.S. trade policies could impact the Company by impacting the level of deposits held by our clients, whether through a higher volume of withdrawals or through a lower volume of deposits.

The credit quality of the Company’s loans may also be impacted if clients must weather adverse economic conditions which could result in an increase in credit losses or other related expenses.

Client deposits are one of the Company’s primary lending sources. The credit quality of the Company’s loans may also be impacted if clients must weather adverse economic conditions which could result in an increase in credit losses or other related expenses. For example, we believe macroeconomic conditions have contributed to slower lease-up in our multifamily portfolio, which resulted in an increase in criticized assets during the second quarter of 2025.

Current wording

Net interest income increased $5.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in interest expense resulting from decreased rates on other borrowed funds along with a decrease in average other borrowed funds balances, partially offset by lower interest income on investment securities as a result of a decrease in average rates and average investment security balances and as a result of a decrease in average loan balances.

Previous wording

Salaries and wages expense increased $3.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher severance including the discontinuation of Indirect Lending, higher short-term incentive accruals, and less deferred loan costs, which were partially offset by lower salaries as a result of fewer employees.
