The increase was mainly attributed to a $1.2 million increase in salaries and employee benefits due to annual merit increases, a $1.1 million increase in subordinated debt redemption expense due to the recognition of deferred debt issuance costs upon the redemption of the 2031 Notes, and a $0.8 million increase in data processing expense due primarily to higher license and maintenance costs as a result of greater transaction volumes and increased vendor pricing. Partially offsetting the increases was a $0.4 million decrease in all other operating expenses.

Current report

Current report

Loans held for sale increased $23.8 million to $31.2 million at September 30, 2026 from $7.4 million at December 31, 2025, primarily due to the addition of an $18.0 million nonperforming commercial real estate loan transferred to loans held for sale during the three months ended September 30, 2026.

Special mention loans decreased $14.9 million to $56.2 million at September 30, 2026 from $71.1 million at December 31, 2025. The $14.9 million decrease reflected $24.4 million in downgrades from special mention to classified and $12.6 million in upgrades from special mention to pass, partially offset by $23.2 million of downgrades into special mention from pass. The $24.4 million of downgrades to the classified category and the $23.2 million of downgrades from the pass category both include a $21.2 million commercial real estate loan that was downgraded from pass to special mention in the first quarter, further downgraded to classified in the second quarter, and transferred to the held-for-sale category during the third quarter, at which time it incurred a $3.2 million charge-off.

Current report

Classified loans increased $52.3 million to $78.2 million at September 30, 2026 from $25.9 million at December 31, 2025.

The loans were downgraded proactively, as both remained current on payments at September 30, 2026.

Previous wording

Our primary source of revenue is net interest income, which is the difference between interest derived from assets, and interest paid on liabilities obtained to fund those assets. Our net interest income is affected by changes in the level and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as volume changes. Net interest income is also affected by changes in the yields earned on assets and rates paid on liabilities, referred to as rate changes. Interest rates charged on loans are affected principally by changes to market interest rates, the demand for loans, the supply of money available for lending purposes, and other competitive factors. Those factors are, in turn, affected by general economic conditions and other factors beyond our control, such as federal economic policies, the general supply of money in the economy, legislative tax policies, governmental budgetary matters, and the actions of the Federal Reserve.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, noninterest income was $16.9 million, an increase of $1.1 million compared with noninterest income of $15.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was due to a $0.7 million increase in gain on the sale of residential mortgage loans due to a higher volume of loans sold, a $0.5 million increase in trade finance and other service charges and fees, a $0.4 million increase in bank-owned life insurance income due to higher death benefit proceeds, and a $0.3 million increase in loan servicing income because of lower prepayments. Partially offsetting these increases to noninterest income was a $0.7 million decline in gain on sales of SBA loans due to a lower volume of loans sold.

Noninterest income increased 0.9%, or $0.2 million, to $25.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 from $25.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was due to a $0.9 million increase in trade finance and other service charges and fees due primarily to the issuance of higher value letters of credit and a $0.4 million increase in all other operating income due primarily to higher loan servicing income, partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in BOLI income due to lower death benefit proceeds, a $0.3 million decrease in gain on sale of SBA loans, and a $0.2 million decrease in gain on sale of residential mortgage loans.

Previous wording

Nonperforming loans consist of nonaccrual loans and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans and OREO. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of management, the full timely collection of principal or interest is in doubt. Generally, the accrual of interest is discontinued when principal or interest payments become more than 90 days past due, unless we believe the loan is adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. However, in certain instances, we may place a particular loan on nonaccrual status earlier, depending upon the individual circumstances surrounding the loan’s delinquency. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current income. Subsequent collections of cash are applied as principal reductions when received, except when the ultimate collectability of principal is probable, in which case interest payments are credited to income. Nonaccrual loans may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become current and full repayment is expected, which generally occurs after sustained payment of six months. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis for loans not meeting the criteria for nonaccrual. OREO consists of properties acquired by foreclosure or similar means.
