Current report

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $44.9 million, an increase of $3.8 million, or 9.1%, compared to $41.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in net interest income for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to higher interest income on investment securities following the strategic balance sheet repositioning in the fourth quarter of 2025, partially offset by less purchase accounting accretion. Interest expense decreased $5.0 million, or 18.4%, from the first quarter of 2025, as the average rates paid on deposits and borrowings declined.

Current report

The Company recorded a provision release of $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to a provision for credit losses of $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2025. The provision release in the first quarter of 2026 was primarily driven by changes to loan balances and loan mix, largely due to decreases in balances in the commercial real estate construction, land and development pool, which is reserved at a higher rate than most other loan pools, in addition to decreases in reserves on individually evaluated loans.

Current report

Total noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $30.8 million, an increase of $3.2 million, or 11.6%, from the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was driven by an increase in mortgage banking and retirement and benefit services revenues. Mortgage banking revenue increased $2.0 million, or 131.5%, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025, due to an increase in the mortgage servicing asset valuation, as well as increased origination volume and improved gain on sale margin. Retirement and benefit services revenue increased $1.3 million, or 8.1%, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by both asset-based and transaction-based fees.

Current report

Total noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $50.4 million, a $27.0 thousand, or 0.1%, increase compared to $50.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The underlying changes were driven by increases in compensation, professional fees and assessments, and occupancy and equipment expense, offset by decreases in employee taxes and benefits and intangible amortization expense. Compensation increased $1.1 million, or 4.9%, from the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to higher annual bonus expense. Professional fees and assessments increased $0.8 million, or 26.8%, from the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to a reclassification of consulting services and other third-party vendor expenses from business services, software and technology expense to professional fees and assessments. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $0.5 million, or 17.9%, from the first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by facility investments and the strategic realignment of locations from owned to leased space. In the first quarter of 2026, employee taxes and benefits decreased $1.1 million, or 14.5%, from the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to lower claims on group insurance. Intangible amortization expense decreased $0.7 million, or 27.2%, in the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to the annual reset of the $33.5 million core deposit intangible recorded in connection with the HMNF acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Current report

Total loans outstanding were $4.0 billion as of March 31, 2026, a decrease of $13.3 million, or 0.3%, from December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a $28.3 million decrease in consumer loans, partially offset by a $15.1 million increase in commercial loans.

Previous report

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $50.5 million, or $1.95 per diluted common share, a $32.6 million, or 182.9%, increase compared to $17.8 million, or $0.89 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased primarily due to a $58.6 million increase in net interest income, partially offset by a $29.1 million increase in noninterest expense.

Previous report

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $43.1 million, an increase of $20.6 million, or 91.4%, compared to $22.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in net interest income for the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024 was primarily due to the earning assets acquired in the HMNF transaction, strong organic loan growth at higher yields, and purchase accounting accretion. Interest expense decreased $2.2 million, or 7.3%, from the third quarter of 2024, as average borrowing balances declined, alongside a decrease in the average rate paid on deposits, more than offset the increase in interest-bearing deposits stemming from the HMNF transaction and organic deposit growth.

Previous report

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $127.3 million, an increase of $58.6 million, or 85.2%, compared to $68.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily driven by the earning assets acquired in the HMNF transaction, strong organic loan growth at higher yields, and purchase accounting accretion. Interest expense decreased $3.6 million, or 4.2%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as the decline in average borrowing balances, alongside a decrease in the average rate paid on deposits, more than offset the increase in interest-bearing deposits stemming from the HMNF transaction and organic deposit growth.

Previous report

The Company did not record a provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2025, compared to a provision for credit losses of $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2024. The decrease in the provision for credit losses was primarily driven by the decrease in the provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments.

Previous report

Total noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $29.4 million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 3.8%, from the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in noninterest income was primarily driven by an increase of $0.9 million, or 35.0%, in mortgage banking revenue in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024, primarily driven by higher mortgage originations as a result of expansion into HMNF legacy markets. Retirement and benefit services revenue increased $0.4 million, or 2.2%, in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024, primarily driven by a 6.7% increase in assets under administration/management during that same period.

Previous report

Total noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $88.8 million, an increase of $7.8 million, or 9.6%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Mortgage banking revenue increased $1.9 million, or 27.3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by a higher gain on sale rate and increased mortgage servicing revenue from the HMNF transaction. Wealth revenue increased $1.7 million, or 8.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by an increase in assets under administration/management during that same period as a result of improved bond and equity markets as well as the HMNF transaction.

Previous report

Total noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $50.5 million, an $8.1 million, or 19.1%, increase compared to $42.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The year over year increase was primarily driven by higher compensation expense, business services, software and technology expense, intangible amortization expense, occupancy and equipment expense, and employee taxes and benefits expense. Compensation expense and employee taxes and benefits expense increased primarily due to increased head count resulting from the HMNF transaction. Business services, software and technology expense increased primarily due to the increased company size following the HMNF transaction along with multiple platform upgrades. Intangible amortization expense increased primarily due to the $33.5 million core deposit intangible recorded in connection with the HMNF transaction.
