Current report

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $43.8 million, or $1.70 per diluted common share, a $10.3 million, or 30.6%, increase compared to $33.6 million, or $1.30 per diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $8.4 million and an increase in noninterest income of $4.4 million, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $4.5 million.

Current report

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $92.6 million, an increase of $8.4 million, or 10.0%, compared to $84.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Interest income increased for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 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 $9.4 million, or 17.3%, from the six months ended June 30, 2025, as average rates paid on deposits and borrowings declined primarily driven by Federal Reserve rate cuts in the second half of 2025.

Current report

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $0.5 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to no provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2025.

Current report

Total noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $32.9 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 3.7%, from the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was driven by an increase in other noninterest income, retirement and benefit services revenue, and service charges on deposit accounts, partially offset by a decrease in the gain on sale of non-mortgage loans. Other noninterest income increased $1.7 million, or 86.1%, compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily driven by a gain on the sale of a property in the Rochester, Minnesota market, increased swap fee income, and mutual fund investment gains related to the underlying assets of the deferred compensation plans. Retirement and benefit services revenue increased $1.3 million, or 8.3%, in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily driven by recurring annual income. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $0.4 million, or 62.6%, compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to a reclassification of fees from other noninterest income to service charges on deposit accounts revenue in the first quarter of 2026. Gain on sale of non-mortgage loans decreased $2.1 million, or 100.0%, compared to the second quarter of 2025 due to a $2.1 million gain on the sale of a PCD hospitality loan during the second quarter of 2025.

Current report

Total noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $63.8 million, an increase of $4.4 million, or 7.4%, from the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was driven by an increase in retirement and benefit services revenue, mortgage banking revenue, other noninterest income, and service charges on deposit accounts, partially offset by a decrease in the gain on sale of non-mortgage loans. Retirement and benefit services revenue increased $2.6 million, or 8.2%, in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily driven by recurring annual income. Mortgage banking revenue increased $1.6 million, or 30.0%, in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, due to an increase in the mortgage servicing asset valuation, as well as an increase in sold loan volume. Other noninterest income increased $1.0 million, or 21.7%, in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily driven by a gain on the sale of a property in the Rochester, Minnesota market, increased swap fee income, and mutual fund investment gains related to the underlying assets of the deferred compensation plans. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $0.7 million, or 53.3%, in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to a reclassification of fees from other noninterest income to service charges on deposit accounts revenue in the first quarter of 2026. Gain on sale of non-mortgage loans decreased $2.1 million, or 100.0%, in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, due to a $2.1 million gain on the sale of a PCD hospitality loan during the second quarter of 2025.

Current report

Total noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $52.9 million, a $4.4 million, or 9.2%, increase compared to $48.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The underlying changes were driven by increases in compensation, professional fees and assessments, and other noninterest expense. Compensation increased $1.8 million, or 7.4%, primarily due to annual merit increases, as well as increases in the deferred compensation plan liabilities driven by mutual fund investment gains related to the underlying assets of the plans. Professional fees and assessments increased $1.4 million, or 61.7%, primarily due to the reclassification of consulting services and other third-party vendor expenses from business services, software and technology expense to professional fees and assessments, as well as an increase in legal fees. Other noninterest expense increased $1.5 million, or 104.3%, due to an increase in other real estate owned balances and related holding costs, as well as increased corporate insurance costs.

Current report

Total nonperforming loans were $7.5 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $69.1 million as of December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by the sale of three non-performing loans representing a construction, land and development relationship. There were no historical charge-offs on this relationship and there were no charge-offs recognized as a result of the transaction.

Current report

OREO and repossessed assets were $9.6 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $0.3 million as of December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the transfer of one 1-4 family property and one apartment complex to OREO in the second quarter of 2026.

Current report

Total deposits were $4.2 billion as of June 30, 2026, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 0.0%, from December 31, 2025. Interest-bearing deposits increased $48.2 million during this period, while noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $48.3 million. The decrease in total deposits was due to seasonal outflows from public funds depositors.
Removed paragraphs (2)

Previous 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.

Previous report

Total deposits were $4.3 billion as of March 31, 2026, an increase of $155.9 million, or 3.7%, from December 31, 2025. Interest-bearing deposits increased $106.2 million during this period, while noninterest-bearing deposits increased $49.7 million. The increase in total deposits was driven by growth in commercial deposits due to new and expanded client relationships and funding structure diversification through the utilization of callable brokered CDs. This growth was partially offset by outflows from our public funds depositors, which reached a typical seasonal low in the third quarter of 2025.

Previous wording

Net interest margin (on a tax-equivalent basis), a non-GAAP financial measure, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 3.77%, compared to 3.41% for the same period in 2025. The increase was mainly attributable to lower cost of funds and higher yields on investment securities.

The increase was mainly attributable to a one-time $1.6 million interest income recovery on a nonaccrual loan resolution, higher purchase accounting accretion and higher loan yields, partially offset by the impact of the subordinated debt refinancing and higher borrowing balances.

Previous wording

The following table presents average balance sheet information, interest income, interest expense and the corresponding average yields on assets, average yields earned, and rates paid for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

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.
