Current report
Net income increased $22.2 million to $144.1 million, or $1.47 per diluted share, during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to net income of $121.9 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, for the same period in 2025, which is primarily attributable to the $19.5 million gain recorded from the previously announced sale of the eleven Nebraska branches during the second quarter of 2026, partially offset by lower net interest income for the 2026 period.
Current report
Net interest income decreased $5.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease was partially influenced by the reduction in loans and deposits related to the sale of the Arizona and Kansas branches during the fourth quarter of 2025 and sale of eleven Nebraska branches during the second quarter of 2026, which resulted in a reduction of net interest income in the second quarter of 2026.
Current report
The provision for credit losses during the six months ended June 30, 2026 of $3.5 million included a provision for credit losses on loans held for investment of $2.9 million, a provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments of $1.0 million, and a reduction of credit losses on investment securities of $0.4 million. This compares to a provision for credit losses of $19.7 million during the same period in 2025. Net charge-offs were $12.1 million or an annualized 0.17% of average loans outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to net charge-offs of $14.8 million, or an annualized 0.17% of average loans outstanding during the same period in 2025. Net loan charge-offs during the six months ended June 30, 2026 were composed of charge-offs of $20.5 million, which were partially offset by recoveries of $8.4 million.
Current report

In January 2025, we announced our plans to stop originating indirect loans as of February 28, 2025. Under our indirect lending program, indirect loans were created when we purchased consumer loan contracts advanced for the purchase of automobiles, boats, recreational vehicles, and other consumer goods from the consumer product dealer network within the market areas we serve. Since discontinuing new originations, the indirect loan portfolio has continued to decline through scheduled amortization and normal portfolio runoff. This runoff is expected to continue over the remaining contractual terms of the existing loans, which generally mature in seven years or less. At March 31, 2026, indirect loans represented approximately 2.8% of loan balances and 76.6% of our consumer loan portfolio.

A slowdown, downturn, or recession in the U.S. economy or changes in U.S. trade policies could impact the Company, including 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. For example, the estimated effects of current and forecasted economic conditions are reflected in the Company’s provision for credit losses and allowance for credit losses.

Non-accrual loans. We generally place loans on non-accrual status when they become 90 days past due unless they are well secured and in the process of collection or if the collection of principal and interest is in doubt. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed from income. Non-accrual loans increased approximately $21.3 million, or 16.0%, to $154.8 million as of March 31, 2026, from $133.5 million as of December 31, 2025, primarily due to a single client relationship comprised of commercial and commercial real estate loans. As of March 31, 2026, there were approximately $53.1 million of non-accrual loans for which there was no related allowance for credit losses, as these loans had sufficient collateral securing the loan for repayment.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO). OREO consists of real property acquired through foreclosure on the collateral underlying defaulted loans. We record OREO at fair value less estimated selling costs. Any excess of loan carrying value over the fair value of the real estate at the time it is acquired, is recorded as a charge against the allowance for credit losses. Estimated losses that result from the ongoing periodic valuation of these properties are charged to earnings in the period in which they are identified. OREO increased $3.2 million, or 94.1%, to $6.6 million as of March 31, 2026, from $3.4 million as of December 31, 2025.

Previous wording
For loans acquired in business combinations with evidence of deterioration in credit quality since origination, the Company determines the fair value of the loans by estimating the amount and timing of principal and interest cash flows initially expected to be collected on the loans and discounting those cash flows at an appropriate market rate of interest. An allowance for credit losses is recognized by estimating the expected credit losses of the purchased asset and recording an adjustment to the acquisition date fair value to establish the initial amortized cost basis of the asset. Differences between the established amortized cost basis, and the unpaid principal balance of the asset, is considered to be a non-credit discount/premium and is accreted/amortized into interest income using the level yield interest method. Subsequent changes to the allowance for credit losses are recorded through provision expense using the same methodology as other loans held for investment.

Our net interest margin ratio increased 19 basis points to 3.43% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to 3.24% for the same period in 2025 and our net FTE interest margin ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased 18 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025.
