Acquisition of Century Financial Services Corporation
Current report
On November 1, 2026, we completed our acquisition of Century Financial Services Corporation (“Century”), the parent company of Century Bank, headquartered in Santa Fe, New Mexico, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September 16, 2026. Century merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving entity. The aggregate consideration to Century shareholders under the Merger Agreement consisted of $70.0 million in cash and 1,232,657 shares of our common stock, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares and of shares otherwise issuable to non-accredited shareholders, and was valued at approximately $142.3 million based on the closing price of our common stock on October 30, 2026. Shares not yet issued will be issued upon receipt of the remaining shareholders’ letters of transmittal. The $7.25 million good-faith deposit we funded during the third quarter of 2026 was applied toward the cash consideration at closing. In addition, Century’s outstanding phantom stock units vested upon completion of the merger and will be settled in cash for approximately $5.2 million. In connection with the merger, the Company assumed Century’s junior subordinated debentures and subordinated notes with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $39.5 million. The acquisition extends our franchise into New Mexico and adds approximately $1.2 billion of deposits. Century Bank is expected to merge with and into the Bank on or about January 1, 2027.
Current report
Because the acquisition was completed after September 30, 2026, the financial condition and results of operations presented in this report do not include Century. Century’s results will be included in our consolidated results beginning November 1, 2026. The acquisition will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and the initial accounting for the business combination, including the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, was incomplete as of the date of this report. We incurred acquisition-related expenses of $0.7 million and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively. See Notes 1 and 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Current report
Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was $9.8 million compared to $10.4 million for the same period in 2025, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 5.7%. Accounting, marketing, and legal fees expense was $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $0.2 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $0.7 million, or 308.1%. The increase in accounting, marketing, and legal fees was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting and legal fees tied to the acquisition of Century Financial Services Corporation. Additionally, ‘Other expense’ decreased by $1.3 million, which was primarily driven by the disposition of the Company’s oil and gas assets during the second quarter of 2026.
Current report
On November 1, 2026, we paid approximately $63 million in cash for the Century acquisition, net of the $7.25 million good-faith deposit funded during the third quarter. We also assumed Century’s junior subordinated debentures and subordinated notes with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $39.5 million. The acquisition added approximately $1.2 billion of deposits.
Current report
The capital amounts and ratios presented below do not reflect the Century acquisition, which was completed on November 1, 2026. The shares of common stock issued in the acquisition will increase shareholders’ equity, while the goodwill and core deposit intangibles recorded in the acquisition will be deducted in calculating regulatory capital.

Sale of Oil and Gas Assets
Previous report
During the second quarter of 2026, management successfully completed its objective to maximize the loan loss recovery related to an oil and gas loan. To refresh memories, in the fourth quarter of 2023, management expended $16.5 million to acquire certain oil and gas assets. Over the holding period, the Company received cash proceeds from oil and gas sales of $15.0 million, and when that is combined with the final second quarter sale proceeds of $5.2 million, the total cash recovery of $20.2 million exceeds the initial $16.5 million cash outlay by $3.7 million. Over the holding period from the fourth quarter of 2023 through the disposition in the second quarter of 2026, these assets generated cumulative pre-tax net income of approximately $3.7 million (which includes the $2.1 million non-cash loss on sale recognized in the second quarter), which we believe is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to the non-GAAP cash summary presented below.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation for Oil and Gas Assets (dollars in thousands):
Previous report
Net Cash Returned is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management to analyze the cash cycle of this specific investment. This measure has significant limitations and is not a substitute for results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. It should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income. This measure is reconciled from income before taxes by adding back only the non-cash expenses shown in the table above.

The increases in the efficiency ratios for the 2026 periods were primarily driven by the disposition of the Company’s oil and gas assets in the second quarter, which resulted in a $2.1 million pre-tax loss recorded in noninterest expense and a corresponding reduction in oil and gas related noninterest income.
Current wording
Pre-tax return on average assets and pre-tax return on average equity were 2.85% and 19.91%, respectively for the three months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to 3.05% and 23.69%, respectively, for the same periodin 2025.

For comparison, the Company recognized $1.6 million of oil and gas related revenues during the same period in 2025.

The allowance is based on management’s estimate of probable losses in the loan portfolio. In the opinion of management, the allowance is adequate to absorb estimated losses in the portfolio as of each balance sheet date. While management uses available information to analyze losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance. In analyzing the adequacy of the allowance, a comprehensive loan grading system to determine risk potential in loans is utilized together with the results of internal credit reviews.

Previous wording
To determine the adequacy of the allowance, the loan portfolio is broken into segments based on loan type. Historical loss experience factors by segment, adjusted for changes in trends and conditions, are used to determine an indicated allowance for each portfolio segment. These factors are evaluated and updated based on the composition of the specific loan segment. Other considerations include volumes and trends of delinquencies, nonaccrual loans, levels of bankruptcies, criticized and classified loan trends, expected losses on real estate secured loans, new credit products and policies, economic conditions, concentrations of credit risk and the experience and abilities of our lending personnel. In addition to the segment evaluations, impaired substandard loans with a balance of $250,000 or more are individually evaluated based on facts and circumstances of the loan to determine if a specific allowance amount may be necessary. Specific allowances may also be established for loans whose outstanding balances are below the $250,000 threshold when it is determined that the risk associated with the loan differs significantly from the risk factor amounts established for its loan segment.

Previous wording
The allowance is based on management’s estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. In the opinion of management, the allowance is adequate to absorb estimated losses in the portfolio as of each balance sheet date. While management uses available information to analyze losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions and changes in the composition of the loan portfolio. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance. In analyzing the adequacy of the allowance, a comprehensive loan grading system to determine risk potential in loans is utilized together with the results of internal credit reviews.

The allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of expected credit losses over the contractual lives of financial assets measured at amortized cost. In the opinion of management, the allowance is adequate to absorb estimated losses in the portfolio as of each balance sheet date.

Previous wording
To estimate the allowance for credit losses, the loan portfolio is segmented based on shared risk characteristics, primarily by loan type. Historical credit loss experience for each segment, adjusted for relevant current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts, is a significant input in determining the expected credit losses for each portfolio segment under the current expected credit loss methodology. These historical loss factors and adjustments are regularly evaluated and updated based on the evolving composition of each loan segment. Other considerations in our current expected credit loss estimation process include current volumes and trends of delinquencies, nonaccrual loans, levels of bankruptcies, trends in criticized and classified loans, expected losses on real estate secured loans, impact of new credit products and policies, current and forecasted economic conditions, concentrations of credit risk, and the experience and abilities of our lending personnel in the current environment. In addition to these segment-level estimations, loans with larger balances or unique risk profiles may be further analyzed based on specific facts and circumstances to refine the overall expected credit loss estimate. This individual analysis helps ensure the allowance for credit losses appropriately reflects the expected losses inherent in the portfolio. Adjustments to the segment-level or portfolio-level expected credit loss estimates may be necessary when specific loan characteristics warrant a different loss expectation than indicated by the segment risk factors.

Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $22.2 million compared to $18.6 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $3.6 million, or 19.4%. Salaries and employee benefits expense was $12.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $11.0 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $1.5 million, or 13.9%. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was primarily attributable to overall increases in compensation tied to Company performance and efforts to effectively compete for executive and non-executive talent. Additionally, ‘Other expense’ increased by $0.9 million, which was primarily driven by a $2.1 million pre-tax loss recognized on the disposition of the Company’s oil and gas assets during the second quarter of 2026.
