Gross loan balances decreased $80.1 million, or 3%, during the first quarter of 2026, reflecting lower mortgage warehouse line utilization, portfolio runoff, changes in commercial line utilization, and lower volumes of new credit extended. Mortgage warehouse balances declined $39.9 million, driven by seasonal activity and late-quarter paydowns. Excluding mortgage warehouse activity, loan balances declined modestly across several portfolios, including decreases of $9.1 million in commercial real estate loans, $19.9 million in other commercial loans, $9.7 million in residential real estate loans, $2.1 million in farmland loans, and $0.2 million in consumer loans. Other construction loans increased $0.8 million during the quarter.
As indicated in the loan rollforward below, new credit extended for the first quarter of 2026 decreased $19.0 million over the linked quarter comparison and $58.6 million over the same period in 2025. For the first three months ended 2026, we had $25.3 million in loan paydowns and maturities, along with a $22.6 million decrease in line of credit utilization, and a $39.9 million decrease in mortgage warehouse utilization. The reduction in new credit extended is primarily due to a strategic shift in our target customer base with a change to increase granularity within the portfolio by focusing more on
serving our local communities, as well as expanded commercial real estate lending. It is taking time to refresh the pipeline, but our pipeline had returned to prior quarter levels by the end of March 2026.
