A sensitivity analysis of our ACL was performed as of March 31, 2026. Based on this sensitivity analysis, a 25% increase in the assumed prepayment speed on loans would result in an $899,000, or 2.04%, decrease to the ACL. A 25% decrease in the assumed prepayment speed on loans would result in a $1.1 million, or 2.56%, increase to the ACL. Additionally, a one percentage point increase in the unemployment rate would result in a $1.1 million, or 2.46%, increase to the ACL and a one percentage point decrease in the unemployment rate would result in a $970,000, or 2.20%, decrease to the ACL. Management reviews the results using the comparison scenario for sensitivity analysis and considers the results when evaluating the qualitative factor adjustments.

Current wording

A sensitivity analysis of our ACL was performed as of June 30, 2026. Based on this sensitivity analysis, a 25% increase in the assumed prepayment speed on loans would result in a $1.2 million, or 2.7%, decrease to the ACL. A 25% decrease in the assumed prepayment speed on loans would result in a $794,000, or 1.8%, increase to the ACL. Additionally, a one percentage point increase in the unemployment rate would result in a $790,000, or 1.8%, increase to the ACL and a one percentage point decrease in the unemployment rate would result in a $1.3 million, or 2.9%, decrease to the ACL. Management reviews the results using the comparison scenario for sensitivity analysis and considers the results when evaluating the qualitative factor adjustments.

On a quarterly basis, we stress test our nine qualitative risk factors, which are categorized by lending policy, procedures and strategies; economic conditions; changes in nature and volume of the portfolio; credit and lending staff; problem loan trends; loan review results; collateral value; concentrations; and regulatory and business environment, by creating two scenarios, a moderate stress scenario and a major stress scenario. In the Moderate Stress scenario, the status of the nine risk factors across all pooled loan types were set at “High-Moderate Risk” while in the Major Stress scenario, the status of the nine risk factors across all pooled loan types were set at “Major Risk.” Under the Moderate Stress scenario, the ACL would increase by $11.0 million, or 24.89%, as of March 31, 2026. Under the Major Stress scenario, the ACL would increase by $31.3 million, or 70.80%, as of March 31, 2026. Management compared the stress test results to our internal forecasts for earnings and capital and has concluded that the Company would remain well-capitalized under these stressed scenarios.

Previous wording

At March 31, 2026, total assets were $4.2 billion, a decrease of $14.0 million from December 31, 2025. The decrease in total assets was primarily the result of a decrease of $15.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and a decrease of $10.5 million in income tax receivable. The decrease in cash supported an increase of $10.9 million in gross loans HFI to $3.3 billion at March 31, 2026, and an increase of $8.6 million in securities available for sale ("AFS") to $415.8 million at March 31, 2026. The decrease in income tax receivable of $10.5 million was the result of refunds of taxes previously paid that were received from taxing authorities in the first quarter of 2026. Total deposits decreased by $10.5 million to $3.3 billion as of March 31, 2026. The decrease in total deposits during the first quarter of 2026 was due to a $61.9 million decrease in wholesale deposits offset by a $51.4 million increase in retail deposits. The increase in retail deposits included a $219.4 million increase in non-maturity interest-bearing deposits and a $168.4 million decrease in time deposits as a portion of the maturing time deposits moved into a high-yield savings product. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits totaled $526.9 million, or 15.8% of total deposits, at March 31, 2026, which is similar to the balances at December 31, 2025. The gross loan to deposit ratio was 99.6% at March 31, 2026, compared to 99.0% at December 31, 2025.

Current wording

At June 30, 2026, total assets were $4.3 billion, an increase of $66.7 million from December 31, 2025. The increase in total assets was primarily the result of an increase of $70.7 million in cash and cash equivalents. A portion of this cash was held in anticipation of the $40.0 million redemption of subordinated notes on July 1, 2026. At June 30, 2026, total deposits were $3.4 billion, an increase of $40.2 million from December 31, 2025. The increase in total deposits was due to a $145.8 million increase in retail deposits offset by a $105.6 million decrease in wholesale deposits. The increase in retail deposits included a $234.9 million increase in nonmaturity interest-bearing deposits and a $154.2 million decrease in time deposits as a portion of the maturing time deposits moved into a high-yield savings product. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $65.1 million to $591.6 million, or 17.5% of total deposits, at June 30, 2026, compared to $526.5 million, or 15.7% of total deposits, at December 31, 2025. The gross loan to deposit ratio was 97.6% at June 30, 2026, compared to 99.0% at December 31, 2025 and 101.5% at June 30, 2025.

Previous wording

Nonperforming assets decreased $4.6 million to $48.8 million, or 1.16% of total assets, at March 31, 2026, from $53.5 million, or 1.27% of total assets, at December 31, 2025. The $4.6 million decrease in nonperforming assets was primarily attributable to a $4.6 million decrease in OREO to $4.3 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $8.8 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease in OREO was due to the sale of one property and a $350,000 valuation provision on a remaining OREO property. The sale resulted in a $1.2 million gain.

Current wording

Nonperforming assets decreased $5.3 million to $43.6 million, or 1.02% of total assets, at June 30, 2026, from $48.8 million, or 1.16% of total assets, at March 31, 2026. The $5.3 million decrease in nonperforming assets was primarily attributable to a $20.8 million decrease in nonperforming loans partially offset by a $15.6 million increase in OREO (included in "accrued interest and other assets"). The increase in OREO was due to the transfer of one nonperforming construction loan to OREO, offset by the sale of the existing OREO properties.

Previous wording

Previous wording

The principal component of our earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans, cash and investments (interest-earning assets) and the interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds (interest-bearing liabilities). Net interest margin is net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets for the period. The level of interest rates and the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income and net interest margin. The net interest spread is the yield on average interest-earning assets minus the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin and net interest spread are included on a tax equivalent (“TE”) basis by adjusting interest income utilizing the federal statutory tax rate of 21% for 2026 and 2025. Our net interest income, interest spread, and net interest margin are sensitive to general business and economic conditions. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, monetary supply, and the strength of the international, national and state economies, in general, and more specifically, the local economies in which we conduct business. Our ability to manage net interest income during changing interest rate environments will have a significant impact on our overall performance. We manage net interest income through affecting changes in the mix of interest-earning assets as well as the mix of interest-bearing liabilities, changes in the level of interest-bearing liabilities in proportion to interest-earning assets, and in the growth and maturity of earning assets. For additional information see “Capital Resources and Liquidity Management” and Part I,Item 3. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" included in this Report.

Previous wording

The net interest margin (“NIM”) increased 16 basis points to 3.15% for the first quarter of 2026, from 2.99% for the fourth quarter of 2025. The NIM increase included an 8 basis point increase in the yield on average total interest-earning assets and an 8 basis point decrease in the overall cost of funds. The yield on average total interest-earning assets increased to 5.86% for the first quarter of 2026 from 5.78% for the fourth quarter of 2025 due mostly to the impact of a 7 basis point increase in the yield on average loans and a 4 basis point increase from the FHLB special dividend. Average loans represented 84% of average interest-earning assets in the first quarter of 2026, which was unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2025.

Current wording

The net interest margin ("NIM") was 3.06% for the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of 9 basis points from 3.15% for the first quarter of 2026. The NIM decrease included a 5 basis point decrease in the yield on average total interest-earning assets, combined with a 4 basis point increase in the overall cost of funds. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased to 5.81% for the second quarter of 2026 from 5.86% for the first quarter of 2026 due mostly to the impact of a 4 basis point decrease from lower FHLB dividends and a 1 basis point decrease in the yield on average total loans.

Previous wording

Net interest income increased $4.3 million to $30.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $26.2 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase in net interest income was due to an increase in interest income of $4.5 million, offset by a $127,000 increase in interest expense. The increase in interest income was driven by loan growth as average total interest-earning assets were $252.1 million, or 6.8%, higher for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same quarter in 2025. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits, offset by lower rates paid on those deposits.

Current wording

Net interest income increased $2.8 million to $30.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $27.3 million for the second quarter of 2025. The increase in net interest income was due to an increase in interest income of $3.0 million, partially offset by a $202,000 increase in interest expense. The increase in interest income was primarily due to average interest-earning asset growth of $193.6 million, or 5.2%, as compared to the same quarter in 2025. The growth in average interest-earning assets included higher average total loans, securities available for sale, and cash and cash equivalents. The impact of higher average interest-earning assets on income was partially offset by lower market interest rates as compared to the same period in 2025. The increase in interest expense was driven largely by an increase in the cost of subordinated notes due to their repricing on April 1, 2026, from 4.00% to 6.98%.

Previous wording

The $4.5 million increase in interest income was due mainly to a $4.3 million increase in interest income from average total loans, of which $3.3 million was attributed to higher average balances and $1.0 million was attributed to an increase in rates. Average total loans increased $216.9 million due to strong loan growth since the end of the first quarter of 2025. The yield on average total loans increased 13 basis points to 6.14% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to 6.01% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Current wording

The $3.0 million increase in interest income was due mainly to a $3.0 million increase in interest income from average total loans, of which $2.2 million was attributed to higher average balances, and $795,000 attributed to higher rates. Average total loans were $3.3 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, an increase of $144.3 million, or 4.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2025. The yield on average total loans increased 10 basis points to 6.13% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to 6.03% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Previous wording

The NIM was 3.15% for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of 27 basis points from 2.88% for the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to a 19 basis point decrease in the total cost of funds to 2.96% combined with a 10 basis point increase in the yield on average total interest-earning assets to 5.86% for the first quarter of 2026 when compared to the rates for the first quarter of 2025. The increase in the yield on average total interest-earning assets was due mainly to an increase in loan rates, as well as the impact of the FHLB special dividend in the first quarter of 2026; there was no FHLB special dividend in 2025. The decrease in funding costs was due to the lower average total cost of interest-bearing deposits, offset by the higher average total cost for FHLB advances. Average noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $526.1 million, or 16% of total average deposits, for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $520.2 million, or 17% of total average deposits, for the first quarter of 2025.

Current wording

The NIM was 3.06% for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 14 basis points from 2.92% for the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to a 14 basis point decrease in the total cost of funds to 3.00%, and a 2 basis point increase in the yield on average interest-earning assets to 5.81% for the second quarter of 2026 from 5.79% for the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in funding costs was due to the lower average cost of interest-bearing deposits in response to lower market rates, offset by the higher average cost for borrowings. Average noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $535.8 million, or 16% of total average deposits, for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $526.1 million, or 17% of total average deposits, for the second quarter of 2025. The increase in the yield on average interest-earning assets was due mainly to a 10 basis point increase in the yield on average total loans.

Previous wording

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2026 was $4.3 million, an increase of $1.4 million from $2.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. The increase in noninterest income was mainly due to higher net gain on OREO of $890,000, recoveries of fully charged-off acquired loans of $484,000, and interest income on the tax refunds related to purchased federal tax credits of $360,000, offset partially by lower gain on sale of loans of $133,000. The sale of $4.9 million of mortgage loans and $4.0 million of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans resulted in gains of $324,000 for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the sale of mortgage loans of $22.0 million and SBA loans of $2.9 million for gains of $457,000 for the fourth quarter of 2025.

Current wording

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2026 was $3.0 million, a decrease of $1.2 million from $4.3 million for the first quarter of 2026. The decrease in noninterest income was mainly due to lower gains from OREO of $1.1 million, and lower other income of $870,000, offset partially by higher gain on sale of loans of $640,000. The net loss on OREO was $221,000 in the second quarter compared to the net gain on OREO of $890,000 in the first quarter. The decrease in other income was due to the first quarter including a $484,000 recovery of a fully charged-off acquired loan and $360,000 of interest income on the tax refunds related to purchased federal tax credits; there were no similar items in the second quarter of 2026. The sale of $42.1 million of mortgage loans and $8.1 million of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans resulted in gains of $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the sale of mortgage loans of $4.9 million and SBA loans of $4.0 million for gains of $324,000 for the first quarter of 2026.

Previous wording

We recorded an income tax provision of $4.4 million, $2.6 million, and $900,000, reflecting an effective tax rate of 28.0%, 20.2%, and 28.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 is lower than the federal and state statutory tax rates due primarily to state tax planning strategies. The lower effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2026 resulted from benefits from purchased Federal tax credits and other state tax benefits in 2025.

Current wording

The table below shows our investment securities’ gross unrealized losses and estimated fair value by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The unrealized losses on these securities were primarily attributed to changes in interest rates. There was no ACL on the AFS or HTM securities portfolios as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025. We monitor our securities portfolio to ensure that all our investments have adequate credit support and we consider the lowest credit rating for identification of potential impairment. The issuers of these securities have not, to our knowledge, evidenced any cause for default on these securities. As of March 31, 2026, all of our investment securities in an unrealized loss position received an investment grade credit rating. These securities have fluctuated in value since their purchase dates as market rates have also fluctuated. However, we have the ability and the intention to hold these securities until their fair values recover to cost or until their respective maturity dates. As such, management does not deem these securities to be impaired under the current expected credit loss model. A summary of our analysis of these securities and the unrealized losses is described more fully in "Note 3 —* *Investment Securities" of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Annual Report. Economic trends may adversely affect the value of the portfolio of investment securities that we hold.
