Current report
Net income for thesecond quarter of 2026 was$19.9 million, or $0.82 per diluted common share, compared with net income of $12.0 million, or $0.44 per diluted common share, in thesecond quarter of 2025. The increase reflected a $0.9 million increase in net interest income, a $10.6 million decrease in provision for credit losses, and a $0.2 million increase in noninterest income. These benefits were partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in noninterest expense, and a $3.1 million increase in income tax expense.
Current report
The Federal Reserve held its interest rates steady during the second quarter of 2026 by maintaining the target range for the federal funds rate at 3.50% to 3.75%. Interest rates have remained unchanged following the three 25-basis-point rate reductions in September, October and December 2025. The FOMC recently noted indicators suggest economic activity has continued to expand at a solid pace, labor market conditions remain solid, and the unemployment rate remains low, while inflation continues to be somewhat elevated. The Committee reiterated that future monetary policy decisions will continue to depend on incoming economic data, the evolving economic outlook, and the balance of risks to its dual mandate of maximum employment and price stability. As a result, the future path of interest rates remains uncertain and will continue to influence loan and deposit repricing, funding costs, and the Company's net interest income and net interest margin.
Current report
For thefirst six months of 2026, net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, was essentially unchanged at $117.4 million, while tax-equivalent net interest margin increased 42 basis points to 3.94% compared tothe first six months of 2025.
Current report
Interest Income. Interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, decreased $9.8 million to $88.4 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to a decline in average interest-earning assets. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased five basis points to 5.88% from 5.93%.
Current report
Average interest-earning assets decreased $609.0 million to $6.03 billion in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. A decrease in average loans of $855.4 million was partially offset by an increase in average investment securities of $250.3 million.
Current report
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $10.6 million to $28.6 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 2.35% from 2.91% due toa decrease in both rates paid on deposits and average balances.

Current report
Total gross loans decreased $108.3 million, or 2.5%, to $4.24 billion at June 30, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025. The loan portfolio mix remained relatively stable by category during the first six months of 2026, while continuing to shift toward community bank relationships as anticipated runoff occurred in the specialty finance and non-core portfolios.
Current report
The allowance for credit losses declined during the first six months of 2026 primarily due to charge-offs of previously reserved relationships, continued runoff within certain higher-risk loan portfolios, lower modeled expected credit losses resulting from updated portfolio characteristics and macroeconomic assumptions, and a reduction in qualitative adjustments reflecting continued improvement in portfolio credit quality. These decreases were partially offset by reserves established for Community Bank loan growth.
Current report
Charge-offs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were $13.3 million and $20.9 million, respectively, compared to $33.4 million and $51.4 millionfor the same periods in 2025. The Community Bank commercial real estate charge-offs included $8.6 million in connection with the execution of a resolution strategy for a previously identified nonperforming relationship and a $2.6 million charge-off related to a loan that was sold in the second quarter of 2026.
Current report
As previously discussed, the Company ceased originations of new construction loans within its specialty finance sector in the fourth quarter of 2024 and sold a significant portion of its non-core consumer lending portfolios and its equipment finance portfolios. These strategic decisions have resulted in the significant decrease of charge-offs in those sectors.
Current report
Although total nonperforming loans declined, certain categories experienced increases, including construction and land development, residential real estate, and the remaining lease portfolio. In addition, $9.6 million of loans modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the preceding 12 months were 30–59 days past due at June 30, 2026. Management continues to monitor these relationships and has incorporated their risk characteristics into loan grading, individual evaluations, and the allowance assessment, as applicable.
Removed paragraphs (4)
Previous report
The FOMC concluded its April 2026 meeting by leaving interest rates unchanged, citing low average job gains, elevated inflation, and a high level of uncertainty about the economic outlook stemming from developments in the Middle East. Federal Reserve policymakers voted to leave the benchmark federal funds rate unchanged at its current range of 3.50% to 3.75%. The move follows the central bank's decision to hold rates steady in January and March 2026 after three successive 25-basis-point rate cuts in September, October and December 2025. Economic data showing a slowdown in the labor market, inflation continuing to run higher than the Federal Reserve's 2% target and the unrest in Iran prompted policymakers to continue to pause rate cuts.
Previous report
Marketing expense. The increase in marketing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period of 2025, was primarily the result of increased brand marketing and program expenses related to deposit account acquisition.

Previous wording
In estimating expected credit losses as of March 31, 2026, we utilized certain forecasted macroeconomic variables from Oxford Economics in our models. The forecasted projections included, among other things, (i) U.S. gross domestic product ranging from 1.9% to 2.4% over the next four quarters; (ii) the 10-year treasury rate averaging 4.2% over the next four quarters; and (iii) Illinois unemployment rate averaging 4.7% through the first quarter of 2027.
Current wording
In estimating expected credit losses as of June 30, 2026, we incorporated certain macroeconomic variables from the Capital Economics forecast dated June 30, 2026 into our credit loss models. The Capital Economics forecast reflected a generally stable macroeconomic outlook relative to the prior quarter, including modest economic growth and unemployment levels that remained consistent with management's assessment of the economic environment. The forecasted projections included, among other things, (i) U.S. gross domestic product ranging from 1.5% to 2.1% over the next four quarters; (ii) annual consumer price index averaging 3.1% over the next four quarters; and (iii) U.S. unemployment rate averaging 4.3% through the second quarter of 2027. These assumptions resulted in lower modeled loss estimates for certain portfolios. In addition, the relative stability of the economic outlook and the absence of incremental economic risks not otherwise reflected in the models supported management's reduction of certain qualitative adjustments.
Previous wording
We qualitatively adjust the model results based on this scenario for various risk factors that are not considered within our modeling processes but are nonetheless relevant in assessing the expected credit losses within our loan pools. These Q-Factor adjustments are based upon management judgment and current assessment as to the impact of risks related to changes in lending policies and procedures; economic and business conditions; loan portfolio attributes and credit concentrations; and external factors, among other things, that are not already fully captured within the modeling inputs, assumptions and other processes. Management assesses the potential impact of such items within a range of severely negative impact to positive impact and adjusts the modeled expected credit loss by an aggregate adjustment percentage based upon the assessment. The qualitative factor adjustment at March 31, 2026, was approximately 55 basis points of total loans, decreasing slightly from 57 basis points at December 31, 2025.

The reduction primarily reflected continued improvement in portfolio credit quality and management's assessment that certain risks requiring qualitative adjustments have moderated since December 31, 2025.
