Dear Shareholders:
2025 was a defining year for Nicolet. We delivered record earnings and earnings per share while exceeding our targets across nearly every key performance metric. This performance likely places Nicolet among the top performing community banks in the country, and reflects disciplined execution and a relentless focus on fundamentals. Delivering record net income while expanding our net interest margin and growing core deposits reflects the strength of our core community bank franchise and the trust our customers place in us. We believe our model - rooted in community banking and long-term thinking - positions us well for the opportunities ahead in 2026, including welcoming the customers and employees of MidWest One Financial Group, Inc. (“MidWest One”).
