Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First Internet Bancorp (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 11, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 1 and Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2023, the Company changed its method of accounting for credit losses on financial instruments due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326: Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits.
We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matters communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans – Qualitative Adjustment
Critical Audit Matter Description
As described in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated allowance for credit losses (ACL) was $55,686,000 at December 31, 2025. The Company also describes in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements the “Allowance for Credit Losses” accounting policy around this estimate. The ACL for loans represents management's estimate of all expected credit losses over the expected life of the Company’s existing loan portfolio. Management estimates the ACL balance using relevant available information about the collectability of cash flows, from internal and external sources, including historical information relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. The Company includes qualitative adjustments to the ACL based on factors and considerations that have not otherwise been fully accounted for.
We have identified auditing the qualitative adjustments as a critical audit matter as management’s determination of the qualitative adjustments used in the ACL is subjective and involves significant management judgments. Our audit procedures related to the qualitative adjustments involved a high degree of auditor judgment to determine the relevance and reliability of data used in the development of the qualitative framework utilized.
The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
We obtained an understanding of the Company’s model and process for determining the allowance for credit losses, evaluated the design and implementation, and tested operating effectiveness of controls related to this estimate applied within the qualitative framework.
We evaluated management’s methodology for developing the qualitative factor adjustments, including the completeness and accuracy of the data utilized in the development of such adjustments.
Our evaluation focused on the qualitative factor framework as a whole, including how management’s judgments collectively influence the allowance and adjust the quantitative model outputs. We assessed whether the combined effect of these judgments was reasonable, internally consistent, and supported by relevant data and governance processes.

Opinion on the Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited First Internet Bancorp’s (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework: (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework: (2013)issued by COSO.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and our report dated March 11, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management’s Assessment of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definitions and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of reliable financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies of First Internet Bancorp and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies follows:
Description of Business
The Company was incorporated on September 15, 2005, and consummated a plan of exchange on March 21, 2006, by which the Company became a bank holding company and 100% owner of First Internet Bank of Indiana (the “Bank”).
The Bank offers a wide range of commercial, small business, consumer and municipal banking products and services. The Bank conducts its consumer and small business deposit operations primarily through digital channels on a nationwide basis and has no traditional branch offices. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions. The Bank is regulated by certain state and federal agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.
The Bank hasthree wholly owned subsidiaries. JKH Realty Services, LLC was established on August 20, 2012 as a single member limited liability company wholly owned by the Bank to manage other real estate owned properties as needed. First Internet Public Finance Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, was incorporated on March 6, 2017 and was established to provide municipal finance lending and leasing products to government entities and to purchase, manage, service, and safekeep municipal securities. SPF15, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, was incorporated on August 31, 2018 and was established to acquire and hold real estate.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s business activities are currently limited toone reporting unit and reportable segment, which is commercial banking.
Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”)
The Company also evaluates its relationships with other entities to identify whether they represent a VIE. The Company is considered to hold a controlling financial interest in a VIE when it is the primary beneficiary. As described in applicable accounting standards, the primary beneficiary consolidates the VIE. A primary beneficiary has both: 1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and 2) and the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, an entity that could potentially be significant to the entity. The Company considers all of its economic interests in the VIE when determining whether it has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. Certain equity investments held by the Company meet the criteria of a VIE. See Note 3 for additional information on the Company’s equity investments and VIEs.
Segment Information
The Company operates as a single reportable segment. While there are several lines of business within the operating segment, they are closely interrelated and cannot operate independently. Accordingly, the Chief Operation Decision Maker (“CODM”) evaluates operations and financial performance on a Company-wide basis and all of the Company’s operations are aggregated inone reportable operating segment. See Note 22 for additional segment information.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company utilizes processes that involve the use of significant estimates and the judgment of management in determining the amount of the Company’s allowance for credit losses (“ACL”). Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities
The Company classifies its securities in one of three categories and accounts for the investments as follows:
Securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held-to-maturity” and reported at amortized cost.
Securities that are acquired and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term with the objective of generating economic profits on short-term differences in market characteristics are classified as “trading securities” and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. The Company had no securities classified as “trading securities” at December 31, 2025 or 2024.
Securities not classified as either “held-to-maturity” or “trading securities” are classified as “available-for-sale” and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, after applicable taxes, excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of shareholders’ equity.
Interest and dividend income, adjusted by amortization of premium or discount, is included in earnings using the effective interest rate method. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets on the trade date. Gains and losses from the sale or disposal of securities are recognized as of the trade date in the consolidated statements of operations for the period in which securities are sold or otherwise disposed of. Gains and losses on sales of securities are determined using the specific-identification method.
Joint Ventures and Equity Security Accounting
The Company accounts for its investments in joint ventures using equity security accounting or proportional amortization method as appropriate. The investments in the limited partnerships or LLCs are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Investment in Limited Partnership
The investment in a limited partnership is recorded using equity security accounting. Losses due to impairment are recorded when it is determined that the investment no longer has the ability to recover its carrying amount. The benefits of low income housing tax credits associated with the investment are accrued when earned.
Loans Held-for-Sale
Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to noninterest income.
Gains and losses on loan sales are recorded in noninterest income, and direct loan origination costs and fees are deferred at origination of the loan and are recognized in noninterest income upon sale of the loan.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues as they are earned based on contractual terms, as transactions occur, or as services are provided and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company's principal source of revenue is interest income from loans and leases and investment securities.
Interest income on loans is accrued as earned using the interest method based on unpaid principal balances, except for interest on loans in nonaccrual status. Interest on loans in nonaccrual status is recorded as a reduction of loan principal when received.
Premiums and discounts are amortized using the effective interest method.
Loan fees, net of certain direct origination costs, primarily salaries and wages, are deferred and amortized to interest income as a yield adjustment over the life of the loan.
The Company also earns noninterest income through a variety of financial and transaction services provided to commercial and consumer clients such as sales of the government-guaranteed portion of U.S. Small Business Administration loans, loan servicing revenue, deposit accounts, debit cards, mortgage banking and portfolio loan sales. Revenue is recorded for noninterest income based on the contractual terms for the service or transaction performed. In certain circumstances, noninterest income is reported net of associated expenses.
Loans
Loans that management intends to hold until maturity are reported at their outstanding principal balance adjusted for unearned income, charge-offs, the ACL, any unamortized deferred fees or costs on originated loans, any unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans and any carrying value adjustments related to terminated interest rate swaps associated with loans.
For loans recorded at cost, interest income is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, as well as premiums and discounts, are recorded in accordance with our revenue recognition policy.
ASU 2016 - 13
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-03 Financial Instruments - Credit losses (“ASC 326”): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The CECL estimate is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures, including loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees and other similar instruments. Additionally, ASC 326 resulted in changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities.
The Company adopted ASC 326 for all financial assets measured at amortized cost, available-for-sale securities and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASC 326, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable U.S. GAAP. The Company recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $4.5 million as of January 1, 2023 for the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 326. The net adjustment to the ACL includes $2.3 million related to loans, $1.9 million related to off-balance sheet credit exposures and $0.3 million related to held-to-maturity debt securities.
ACL - Available-For-Sale (“AFS”) Debt Securities
For AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For AFS debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors, such as interest rates or market conditions. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an ACL is recorded. Changes in the ACL are recorded as a provision for, or recovery of, credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes that uncollectibility of an AFS debt security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.
ACL - Held-To-Maturity (“HTM”) Debt Securities
Management measures expected credit losses on HTM debt securities on a collective basis by major security type. Accrued interest receivable on HTM debt securities are excluded from the estimate of credit losses. The Company made the accounting policy election to not measure an ACL for accrued interest. Accrued interest deemed uncollectible will be written off through interest income. The HTM securities portfolio includes municipal securities, residential mortgage-backed-securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and corporate securities. All residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities are U.S. government issued or sponsored and substantially all municipal and corporate securities are rated investment grade or above.
The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
ACL - Loans
The ACL for loans represents management's estimate of all expected credit losses over the expected life of the Company’s existing loan portfolio. Management estimates the ACL balance using relevant available information about the collectability of cash flows, from internal and external sources, including historical information relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. When the Company is unable to forecast future economic events, management may revert to historical information.
Accrued interest receivable on loans are excluded from the estimate of credit losses. The Company made the accounting policy election to not measure an ACL for accrued interest receivable. Accrued interest deemed uncollectible will be written off through interest income.
ACL - Loans - Collectively Evaluated
The ACL is measured on a collective pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist.
The Company utilizes a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method to estimate the quantitative portion of the allowance for credit losses for loans evaluated on a collective pooled basis. For each segment, a loss driver analysis is performed in order to identify loss drivers and create a regression model for use in forecasting cash flows.
In creating the DCF model, the Company has established a one-year reasonable and supportable forecast period with a one-year straight line reversion to the long-term historical average. Due to its limited loss history, the Company elected to use peer data in certain loan segments for a more accurate calculation.
Key inputs into the DCF model include loan-level detail, including the amortized cost basis of individual loans, payment structure, loss history, and forecasted loss drivers. The Company utilizes a third party to provide economic forecasts under various scenarios, which are assessed quarterly considering the scenarios in the context of the current economic environment and loss risk.
Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans and adjusted for prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term excludes extensions, renewals, and modifications unless the extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company.
Additional key assumptions in the DCF model include the probability of default (“PD”), loss given default (“LGD”), and prepayment/curtailment rates. The Company utilizes the model-driven PD and a LGD derived from a method referred to as Frye Jacobs. The Frye Jacobs method is a mathematical formula that traces the relationship between LGD and PD over time and projects the LGD based on the level of PD forecasted. In all cases, the Frye Jacobs method is utilized to calculate LGD during the forecast period, reversion period and long-term historical average. Prepayment and curtailment rates were calculated through third party analysis of the Company’s own data.
Qualitative factors for the DCF include the following:
Changes in international, national, regional and local economic conditions
Changes in the quality of the Company’s loan review system
The effect of other external factors (e.g. competition, legal and regulatory requirements) on the level of estimated credit losses
ACL - Loans - Individually Evaluated
Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are excluded from the collective evaluation. Individual analysis will establish a specific reserve for loans, if necessary. Specific reserves on nonaccrual loans are typically based on management’s best estimate of the fair value of collateral securing these loans, adjusted for selling costs as necessary, assessment of guarantor strength, or the value of the government-guaranteed portion of U.S. Small Business Administration loans.
ACL - Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures
The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The ACL for off-balance sheet credit exposure is recorded as a liability and adjusted as a provision for credit loss expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. Funding rates are based on a historical analysis of the Company’s portfolio, while estimates of credit losses are determined using the same loss rates as funded loans.
Regulatory Capital
As permitted by the federal banking regulatory agencies, the Company has elected the option to delay the impact of the day one adoption of ASC 326. Refer to “Note 14: Regulatory Capital Requirements” for details of the phase-in transition adjustments.
Modified Loans to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
The Company may make modifications to certain loans in order to alleviate temporary difficulties in the borrower’s financial condition and/or constraints on the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, and to minimize potential losses to the Company. Modifications may include changes in the amortization terms of the loan, reductions in interest rates, acceptance of interest only payments, and/or reductions to the outstanding loan balance. Such loans may be placed on nonaccrual status when there is doubt concerning the full repayment of principal and interest or the loan has been delinquent for a period of 90 days or more. These loans may be returned to accrual status when all contractual amounts past due have been brought current, and the borrower’s performance under the modified terms of the loan agreement and the ultimate collectability of all contractual amounts due under the modified terms is no longer in doubt.
Provision for Credit Losses
A provision for estimated credit losses is charged to income based upon management’s evaluation of the potential losses. Such an evaluation, which includes a review of all loans for which full repayment may not be reasonably assured, considers, among other matters, the estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral, an assessment of guarantor strength, or the value of the government-guaranteed portion of U.S. Small Business Administration loans, as applicable, economic conditions, loan loss experience, and other factors that are particularly susceptible to changes that could result in a material adjustment in the near term. While management attempts to use the best information available in making its evaluations, future ACL adjustments may be necessary if conditions change substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluations.
Nonaccrual Loans
Any loan which becomes 90 days delinquent or for which the full collection of principal and interest may be in doubt will be considered for nonaccrual status. At the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all accrued but unpaid interest will be reversed from interest income. Placing a loan on nonaccrual status does not relieve the borrower of the obligation to repay interest. A loan placed on nonaccrual status may be restored to accrual status when all delinquent principal and interest has been brought current, and the Company expects full payment of the remaining contractual principal and interest.
Individually Evaluated Loans
A loan is individually evaluated, when, based on current information or events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due (principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Payments with delays not exceeding 90 days outstanding generally are not individually evaluated. Certain nonaccrual and substantially all delinquent loans more than 90 days past due may be individually evaluated. Generally, loans are placed on nonaccrual status at 90 days past due and accrued interest is reversed against earnings, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. The accrual of interest on individually evaluated and nonaccrual loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due.
Individually evaluated loans include nonperforming loans and also include loans where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions intended to maximize collection.
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 310, Receivables, requires that individually evaluated loans be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans’ effective interest rates or the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, and allows existing methods for recognizing interest income.
Policy for Charging Off Loans
The Company’s policy is to charge off a loan at any point in time when it no longer can be considered a bankable asset, meaning collectible within the parameters of policy. A secured loan is generally charged down to the estimated fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell, no later than when it is 120 days past due as to principal or interest. An unsecured loan generally is charged off no later than when it is 180 days past due as to principal or interest. A home improvement loan generally is charged off no later than when it is 90 days past due as to principal or interest.
Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Indianapolis Stock
Federal law requires a member institution of the FHLB system to hold common stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula. This investment is stated at cost, which represents redemption value, and may be pledged as collateral for FHLB advances.
Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, which range from three tofive years for software and equipment, ten years for land improvements, and 39 years for buildings.
Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned represents real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. When property is acquired, it is recorded at its fair value, less estimated costs to sell, at the date of acquisition with any resulting write-down charged against the ACL. A valuation allowance is recorded through noninterest expense for any subsequent deterioration of the property. Costs relating to holding and maintaining the property are recorded to noninterest expense as incurred. Upon the sale of other real estate owned the gain or loss, as applicable, is recorded to noninterest income.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to help manage exposure to interest rate risk and the effects that changes in interest rates may have on net income and the fair value of assets and liabilities. The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. Additionally, prior to the Company’s decision to exit its consumer mortgage business in the first quarter 2023, we entered into forward contracts related to our mortgage banking business to hedge the exposures we had from commitments to extend new residential mortgage loans to our customers and from our mortgage loans held-for-sale. The forward contracts were entered into in order to economically hedge the effect of changed interest rates resulting from the Company’s commitment to fund the loans.
Designating an interest rate swap as an accounting hedge allows the Company to recognize gains and losses in the income statement within the same period that the hedged item affects earnings. The Company includes the gain or loss on the hedged items in the same line item as the offsetting loss or gain on the related interest rate swaps. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, any gains or losses related to changes in fair value are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax. The fair value of interest rate swaps with a positive fair value are reported in accrued income and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets while interest rate swaps with a negative fair value are reported in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
The interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) and forward contracts are not designated as accounting hedges and are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in noninterest income in the consolidated statements of operation. The fair value of these derivative instruments with a positive fair value are reported in accrued income and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets, while derivative instruments with a negative fair value are reported in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company records or discloses certain assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are classified within one of three levels in a valuation hierarchy. ASC Topic 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities
There were no transfers that occurred and, therefore, recognized, between any of the fair value hierarchy levels at December 31, 2025 or 2024.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities reflect the impact of temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the basis of such assets and liabilities as measured by tax laws and regulations. Deferred income tax expense or benefit is based upon the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities from period to period, subject to an ongoing assessment of realization of deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, Indiana, and other state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for years before 2022.
ASC Topic 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company did not identify any material uncertain tax positions that it believes should be recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
(Loss)Earnings Per Share
(Loss) earnings per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of basic shares and dilutive shares outstanding during the year.
The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average common shares for the basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share computations.
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Basic (loss) earnings per share | |||
| Net (loss) income available to common shareholders | $(35,168) | $25,276 | $8,417 |
| Weighted average common shares | 8,729,970 | 8,690,416 | 8,837,558 |
| Basic (loss) earnings per common share | $(4.03) | $2.91 | $0.95 |
| Diluted (loss) earnings per share | |||
| Net (loss) income available to common shareholders | $(35,168) | $25,276 | $8,417 |
| Weighted average common shares | 8,729,970 | 8,690,416 | 8,837,558 |
| Dilutive effect of equity compensation | — | 75,309 | 21,332 |
| Weighted average common and incremental shares | 8,729,970 | 8,765,725 | 8,858,890 |
| Diluted (loss) earnings per common share1 | $(4.03) | $2.88 | $0.95 |
1 Potential dilutive common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted (loss) earnings per share in the periods where the effect would be antidilutive. There were no antidilutive shares for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Excluded from the computation of diluted (loss) earnings per share were weighted average antidilutive shares totaling 20,797 for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Share-based Compensation
The Company has a share-based compensation plan using the fair value recognition provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The plan is described more fully in Note 11.
Comprehensive (Loss) Income
Comprehensive (loss) income consists of net (loss) income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale, unrealized gains and losses on the transfer of securities available-for-sale to securities held-to-maturity, and unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges.
Reclassification adjustments have been determined for all components of other comprehensive income (loss) reported in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity.
Statements of Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents are defined to include cash on-hand, noninterest and interest-bearing amounts due from other banks and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods. The Company reports net cash flows for customer loan transactions and deposit transactions.
Bank-Owned Life Insurance
Bank-owned life insurance policies are carried at their cash surrender value. The Company recognizes tax-free income from the periodic increases in the cash surrender value of these policies and from death benefits.
Goodwill
Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually as of August 31, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances
change that indicate an impairment may exist. When assessing goodwill for impairment, first, a qualitative assessment
can be made to determine whether it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its estimated carrying value. If the results of the qualitative assessment are not conclusive, a quantitative goodwill test is performed. Alternatively, a quantitative goodwill test can be performed without performing a qualitative assessment.
Servicing Asset
The servicing asset is related to small business lending and single tenant lease financing loans sold. The servicing asset is recognized at the time of sale when servicing is retained and the income statement effect is recorded in loan servicing revenue. Servicing assets are recorded at fair value in accordance with ASC 860. Fair value is based on a third-party valuation model that calculates the present value of net servicing revenue.
Transfers of Financial Assets
Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company (put presumptively beyond the reach of the transferor and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership), (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications of prior year disclosures within Note 13 have been made to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or net change in cash and cash equivalents.
Note 2: Cash and Cash Equivalents
At December 31, 2025, the Company’s interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing cash accounts at other institutions exceeded the limits for full FDIC insurance coverage by $1.5 million. In addition, approximately $442.4 million and $7.6 million of cash was held at the Federal Reserve Bank and the FHLB of Indianapolis, respectively, which are not federally insured.
The Federal Reserve Act authorizes the Federal Reserve Board to establish reserve requirements within specified ranges for the purpose of implementing monetary policy on certain types of deposits and other liabilities of depository institutions. On March 15, 2020, the Federal Reserve Board reduced requirement ratios to zero percent effective March 26, 2020. As such, the Company is not currently required to maintain reserve funds in cash and/or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank.

1 Includes $0.3 million of additional premium related to terminated interest rate swaps associated with agency mortgage-backed securities - residential as of December 31, 2024.
Accrued interest receivable on AFS and HTM securities at December 31, 2025 was $3.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively, compared to $2.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively, at December 31, 2024, and is included in accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company elected to exclude all accrued interest receivable from securities when estimating credit losses.
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, over 84% and 92%, respectively, of mortgage-backed securities (including both AFS and HTM) held by the Company are issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies. These securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government and have a long history of no credit losses and it is expected that the securities will not be settled at prices less than the amortized cost bases of the securities as such securities are backed by the full faith and credit of and/or guaranteed by the U.S. government; therefore, the Company did not record an ACL on these securities.
Additionally, the Company evaluated credit impairment for individual AFS securities that are in an unrealized loss position and determined that the unrealized losses are unrelated to credit quality and are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and volatility in the financial markets. As the Company does not intend to sell the AFS securities that are in an unrealized loss position, and it is unlikely that it will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, the Company did not record an ACL on these securities.
The Company also evaluated its HTM securities that are in an unrealized loss position and considered issuer bond ratings, historical loss rates for bond ratings and economic forecasts. The ACL on HTM securities at December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
The carrying value of securities at December 31, 2025 is shown below by their contractual maturity date. Actual maturities will differ because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

There wereno gross realized gains or losses resulting from the sale of AFS securities recognized during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
As of December 31, 2025, the fair value of securities pledged as collateral was $986.7 million. The Company pledged these securities to both the FHLB and the Fed Discount Window to increase the Company’s borrowing capacity and provide collateral for existing FHLB advances.
Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the consolidated financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. The total fair value of these investments at December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $611.2 million and $603.9 million, which is approximately 59% and 72%, respectively, of the Company’s AFS and HTM securities portfolios. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s securities portfolio consisted of 618 positions, of which 395 were in an unrealized loss position. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s security portfolio consisted of 579 positions, of which 482 were in an unrealized loss position. The unrealized losses are related to the categories noted below.
U.S. Government-Sponsored Agencies, Municipal Securities and Corporate Securities
The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in securities issued by U.S. Government-sponsored agencies, municipal organizations and corporate entities were caused primarily by interest rate changes. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments. The Company does not intend to sell the investments, and it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the investments, before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be upon maturity.
Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities, Private Label Mortgage-Backed Securities and Asset-Backed Securities
The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in agency mortgage-backed securities, private label mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities were caused primarily by interest rate changes. The Company expects to recover the amortized cost basis over the terms of the securities. The Company does not intend to sell the investments, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments, before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be upon maturity.

Equity Investments
Equity investments, largely comprised of non-marketable equity investments, are generally accounted for under equity security accounting and are included within accrued income and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s non-marketable equity investments consist of limited partner interests in venture capital and Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) funds. After the initial commitment and over the course of the investment period, the Company will make capital contributions and receive a proportional share of profit and return of capital distributions as a result of fund performance until the funds wind down. While the partnership agreements allow the Company to remove the general partner, this right is not considered to be substantive as the general partner can only be removed for cause. All of these investments are generally non-redeemable and distributions are generally expected to be received through the liquidation of the underlying investments throughout the life of the investment fund. Investments may only be sold or transferred subject to the notice and approval provisions of the underlying investment agreements.
The following tables provide additional information related to equity investments accounted for under equity security accounting.

Variable Interest Entities
The above investments meet the criteria of a VIE. However, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the entities as it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss from unconsolidated VIEs includes the value of the investment recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and unfunded commitment. The Company believes the potential for loss from these investments is remote, the maximum exposure for the affordable housing investment was determined by assuming a scenario where related tax credits were recaptured.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company sold a total of $851.2 million of single tenant lease financing loans from which the Company recognized a pre-tax loss on sale of $38.2 million recorded within non-interest income. The transaction was executed as part of an initiative to strengthen the Company’s regulatory capital ratios and improve its interest rate risk position. Unrelated to this transaction, the Company also sold $35.0 million of single tenant lease financing loans which resulted in a gain on sale of $0.3 million recorded within non-interest income.
The general risk characteristics specific to each loan portfolio segment are as follows:
Commercial and Industrial: Commercial and industrial loans’ sources of repayment are primarily based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Loans are made for working capital, equipment purchases, or other purposes. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed and may incorporate a personal guarantee. This portfolio segment is generally concentrated in the Midwest and Southwest regions of the United States.
Owner-Occupied Commercial Real Estate: The primary source of repayment is the cash flow from the ongoing operations and activities conducted by the borrower, or an affiliate of the borrower, who owns the property. This portfolio segment is generally concentrated in the Midwest and Southwest regions of the United States and its loans are often secured by manufacturing and service facilities.
Investor Commercial Real Estate: These loans are made on a nationwide basis and are underwritten primarily based on the cash flow expected to be generated from the property and are secondarily supported by the value of the real estate. These loans typically incorporate a personal guarantee from the primary sponsor or sponsors. This portfolio segment generally involves larger loan amounts with repayment primarily dependent on the successful leasing and operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Investor commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by changing economic conditions in the real estate markets, industry dynamics or the overall health of the local economy where the property is located. The properties securing the Company’s investor commercial real estate portfolio tend to be diverse in terms of property type. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on property financial performance, collateral value, guarantor strength, economic and industry conditions together with other risk grade criteria. As a general rule, the Company avoids financing special use projects unless other underwriting factors are present to mitigate these additional risks.
Construction: Construction loans are made on a nationwide basis and are secured by land and related improvements and are made to assist in the construction of new structures, which may include commercial (retail, industrial, office, and multi-family) properties, land development for residential properties or single family residential properties offered for sale by the builder. These loans generally finance a variety of project costs, including land, site preparation, architectural services, construction, closing and soft costs and interim financing needs. The cash flows of builders, while initially predictable, may fluctuate with market conditions, and the value of the collateral securing these loans may be subject to fluctuations based on general economic changes.
Single Tenant Lease Financing: These loans are made on a nationwide basis to owners of real estate subject to long-term lease arrangements with single tenant operators. The real estate is typically operated by regionally, nationally or globally branded businesses. The loans are underwritten based on the financial strength of the borrower, characteristics of the real estate, cash flows generated from the lease arrangements and the financial strength of the tenant. Similar to the other loan portfolio segments, management monitors and evaluates these loans based on borrower and tenant financial performance, collateral value, industry trends and other risk grade criteria.
Public Finance: These loans are made on a nationwide basis to governmental and not-for-profit entities to provide both tax-exempt and taxable loans for a variety of purposes including: short-term cash-flow needs; debt refinancing; economic development; quality of life projects; infrastructure improvements; renewable energy projects; and equipment financing. The primary sources of repayment for public finance loans include pledged revenue sources including, but not limited to: general obligations; property taxes; income taxes; tax increment revenue; utility revenue; gaming revenues; sales tax; and pledged general revenue. Certain loans may also include an additional collateral pledge of mortgaged property or a security interest in financed equipment.
Healthcare Finance: These loans are made on a nationwide basis to healthcare providers, primarily dentists, for practice acquisition financing or refinancing that occasionally includes owner-occupied commercial real estate and equipment purchases. The sources of repayment are primarily based on the identified cash flows from operations of the borrower and related entities and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower.
Small Business Lending: These loans are made on a nationwide basis to small businesses and generally carry a partial guaranty from the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) under its 7(a) loan program. We generally sell the government guaranteed portion of SBA loans into the secondary market while retaining the non-guaranteed portion of the loan and the servicing rights. Loans in the small business lending portfolio have sources of repayment that are primarily based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on any underlying collateral provided by the borrower. Loans may, but do not always, have a collateral shortfall. For SBA loans where the guaranteed portion is retained, the SBA guaranty provides a tertiary source of repayment to the Bank in event of borrower default. Cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Loans are made for a broad array of purposes including, but not limited to, providing operating cash flow, funding ownership changes, and facilitating equipment and commercial real estate purchases.
Franchise Finance: These loans are made on a nationwide basis through our partnership with ApplePie Capital, which through their deep relationships with franchise brands provides franchisees with financing options for new franchise units, recapitalization, expansion, equipment and working capital. The sources of repayment are either based on identified cash flows from existing operations of the borrower or pro forma cash flow for new franchise locations.
Residential Mortgage: Residential mortgage loans are secured by one‑to‑four family residential properties, which are generally owner‑occupied. The Company establishes maximum loan‑to‑value ratios and requires private mortgage insurance when those thresholds are exceeded. Repayment performance is primarily dependent on the financial condition of the borrowers and may be adversely affected by broader economic factors, including employment conditions and changes in residential real estate values. While the portfolio is concentrated within the Company’s primary market area, risk is mitigated by the relatively small size of individual loans and the dispersion of borrowers across the residential communities served.
Home Equity: Home equity loans and lines of credit are typically secured by a subordinate lien on one‑to‑four family residential properties. Repayment is primarily dependent upon the borrowers’ financial capacity and may be adversely affected by unemployment levels, changes in residential property values, and other economic conditions within the relevant market areas. Although the Company has historically offered these products on a nationwide basis, credit risk is evaluated based on borrower characteristics, collateral valuation, and lien position.
Other Consumer: These loans primarily consist of secured consumer credit products, including loans collateralized by horse trailers or recreational vehicles. Some other consumer loans also includes credit cards and unsecured loans, such as small installment loans, home improvement loans and certain lines of credit. Repayment performance is dependent on borrowers’ personal income and overall financial condition, which may be adversely affected by economic factors such as unemployment levels and broader market conditions. Risk is partially mitigated by the presence of collateral, the relatively small loan size and broad distribution of individual exposures across the markets served.
ACL Methodology
The ACL for loans represents management's estimate of all expected credit losses over the expected life of the Company’s existing loan portfolio. Management estimates the ACL balance using relevant available information about the collectability of cash flows, from internal and external sources, including historical information relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. When the Company is unable to forecast future economic events, management may revert to historical information.
The Company's methodologies incorporate a one-year reasonable and supportable forecast period with a one-year straight line reversion to the long-term historical average for most segments.
The ACL methodology may also consider other adjustments to address changes in conditions, trends, and circumstances such as local industry changes that could have a significant impact on the risk profile of the loan portfolio and provide for adjustments that may not be reflected and/or captured in the historical loss data. These factors include: lending policies, imprecision in forecasting future economic conditions, loan profile, lending staff, problem loan trends, loan review, collateral, credit concentration, or other internal and external factors. The Company includes these as qualitative adjustments to the ACL which include, but are not limited to:
Changes in international, national, regional and local economic conditions
Changes in the quality of the Company’s loan review system
The effect of other external factors (e.g. competition, legal and regulatory requirements) on the level of estimated credit losses
The ACL is measured on a collective or pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company segments its portfolio generally by Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC") Call Report codes that align with its lines of business. Additional sub-segmentation has not been utilized to identify groups of loans with unique risk characteristics relative to the rest of the portfolio.
Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. These evaluations are typically performed on loans with a deteriorated internal risk rating. The ACL is determined based on several methods, including estimating the fair value of the underlying collateral or the present value of expected cash flows.
The Company relies on a third-party platform that offers multiple methodologies to measure historical life-of-loan losses.
Modified Loans to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
The Company may make modifications to certain loans in order to alleviate temporary difficulties in the borrower’s financial condition and/or constraints on the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, and to minimize potential losses to the Company. Modifications may include changes in the amortization terms of the loan, other-than-insignificant payment delays, reductions in interest rates, acceptance of interest only payments, and/or reductions to the outstanding loan balance. Such loans may be placed on nonaccrual status when there is doubt concerning the full repayment of principal and interest or the loan has been delinquent for a period of 90 days or more. These loans may be returned to accrual status when all contractual amounts past due have been brought current, and the borrower’s performance under the modified terms of the loan agreement and the ultimate collectability of all contractual amounts due under the modified terms is no longer in doubt. The Company typically measures the ACL on modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty on an individual basis when the loans are deemed to no longer share risk characteristics that are similar with other loans in the portfolio. The calculation of the ACL for these loans is based on a discounted cash flow approach for both those measured collectively and individually, unless the loan is deemed collateral dependent, which requires measurement of the ACL based on the estimated expected fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell. GAAP requires the Company to make certain disclosures related to these loans, including certain types of modifications, as well as how such loans have performed since their modifications.
Provision for Credit Losses
A provision for estimated losses on loans is charged to income based upon management’s evaluation of the potential losses. Such an evaluation, which includes a review of all loans for which full repayment may not be reasonably assured, considers, among other matters, the estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral, as applicable, economic conditions, loan loss experience, and other factors that are particularly susceptible to changes that could result in a material adjustment in the near term. While management attempts to use the best information available in making its evaluations, future ACL adjustments may be necessary if conditions change substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluations.
Policy for Charging Off Loans
The Company’s policy is to charge off a loan at any point in time when it no longer can be considered a bankable asset, meaning collectible within the parameters of policy. A secured loan is generally charged down to the estimated fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell, no later than when it is 120 days past due as to principal or interest. An unsecured loan generally is charged off no later than when it is 180 days past due as to principal or interest. A home improvement loan generally is charged off no later than when it is 90 days past due as to principal or interest.
The following tables present changes in the balance of the ACL during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The ACL was established based on historical loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts. These inputs did not indicate emerging credit deterioration within the small business lending or franchise finance portfolios as of December 31, 2024. However, during 2025, credit performance in these portfolios declined at a pace that exceeded prior expectations, resulting in higher-than-anticipated charge‑offs. In response to the observed deterioration, the Company increased the allowance allocated to these loan segments and implemented more stringent underwriting and lending standards to address the heightened credit risk.

Accrued interest receivable on loans totaled $23.1 million and $23.8 million at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. The Company made the accounting policy election to not measure an ACL for accrued interest receivable. Accrued interest deemed uncollectible will be written off through interest income.
In addition to the ACL, the Company maintains a reserve for off-balance sheet commitments, classified in other liabilities. This reserve is at a level management believes to be sufficient to absorb losses arising from unfunded loan commitments. The adequacy of the reserve for unfunded commitments is determined quarterly based on methodology similar to the methodology for determining the ACL. The following tables details activity in the provision for credit losses on off-balance sheet commitments for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its commercial loans, which are evaluated on a continual basis. A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades is as follows:
“Pass” - Higher quality loans that do not fit any of the other categories described below.
“Special Mention” - Loans that possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness which deserve close attention.
“Substandard” - Loans that possess a defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Loans that are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.
“Doubtful” - Such loans have been placed on nonaccrual status and may be heavily dependent upon collateral possessing a value that is difficult to determine or based upon some near-term event which lacks clear certainty. These loans have all of the weaknesses of those classified as Substandard; however, based on existing conditions, these weaknesses make full collection of the principal balance highly improbable.
The Company does not risk grade its consumer loans. It classifies them as either performing or nonperforming. Below is a description of those classifications:
“Performing” - Loans that are accruing and full collection of principal and interest is expected.
“Nonperforming” - Loans that are 90 days delinquent or for which the full collection of principal and interest may be in doubt.
The following table presents the credit risk profile of the Company’s commercial and consumer loan portfolios by loan class and by year of origination for the years indicated based on rating category and payment activity as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024

Loans are reclassified to non-accruing status when, in management’s judgment, the collateral value and financial condition of the borrower do not justify accruing interest. At the time the accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed against earnings. Interest income accrued in prior years, if any, is charged to the ACL. Payments subsequently received on nonaccrual loans are applied to principal. A loan is returned to accrual status when principal and interest are no longer past due and collectability is probable, typically after a minimum of nine consecutive months of performance.
The following table summarizes the Company’s nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing by loan class for the periods indicated:

Determining fair value for collateral dependent loans requires obtaining a current independent appraisal of the collateral and applying a discount factor, which includes selling costs if applicable, to the value. The fair value of real estate is generally based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers. The appraisers typically determine the value of the real estate by utilizing an income or market valuation approach. If an appraisal is not available, the fair value may be determined by using a cash flow analysis. Fair value on other collateral such as business assets is typically ascertained by assessing, either singularly or some combination of, asset appraisals, accounts receivable aging reports, inventory listings and/or customer financial statements. Both appraised values and values based on borrower’s financial information are discounted as considered appropriate based on age and quality of the information and current market conditions.
The following tables present the amortized cost basis of collateral dependent loans, which are individually evaluated to determine expected credit losses as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
The Company may agree to modify the contractual terms of a loan to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty as a part of ongoing loss mitigation strategies. These modifications may include interest rate reductions, principal or interest forgiveness, other-than-insignificant payment delays, term extensions and other actions intended to minimize loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral.
The Company hadtwelve loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025. The Company hadfive loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.
The following tables present loans that were both experiencing financial difficulty and modified during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Note 6: Goodwill
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the carrying amount of goodwill was $4.7 million. There have beenno changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually as of August 31, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that indicate an impairment may exist. When assessing goodwill for impairment, first, a qualitative assessment can be made to determine whether it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its estimated carrying value. If the results of the qualitative assessment are not conclusive, a quantitative goodwill test is performed. Alternatively, a quantitative goodwill test can be performed without performing a qualitative assessment.
Goodwill was assessed for impairment using a quantitative test performed as of August 31, 2025. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the net carrying value, and thereforeno goodwill impairment existed as of that date. However, there is a risk for impairment in the event of declines in general economic, market or business conditions and the resultant effect on forecasted growth rates, or any significant unfavorable change in the Company’s forecasted operations resulting from elevated levels of net charge-offs in the franchise finance and small business lending portfolios. If current and long-term projections decrease materially, the Company may be required to recognize impairment charges, which could be material to the results of operations.
Note 7: Servicing Asset
Activity for the servicing asset and the related changes in fair value for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 are shown in the table below.

| Loan servicing asset revaluation | (5,466) | (2,537) | (1,463) |
| Ending balance | $22,793 | $16,389 | $10,567 |
1 Balance includes $4.1 million of originated servicing asset related to the sale of single tenant lease financing loans sold during 2025.
Loans serviced for others are not included in the consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of these loans serviced for others as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 are shown in the table below.

| Single tenant lease financing | 825,207 | — | — |
| Total | $1,945,760 | $862,089 | $531,927 |
Loan servicing revenue totaled $8.7 million, $6.2 million and $3.8 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Loan servicing asset revaluation, which represents paydowns and the change in fair value of the servicing asset, resulted in a $5.5 million, $2.5 million and $1.5 million downward valuation for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The fair value of servicing rights is highly sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions. Though fluctuations in prepayment speeds and changes in secondary market premiums generally have the most substantial impact on the fair value of servicing rights, other influencing factors include changing economic conditions, changes to the discount rate assumption and the weighted average life of the servicing portfolio. Measurement of fair value is limited to the conditions existing and the assumptions used as of a particular point in time; however, those assumptions may change over time. Refer to Note 16 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments for further details.

Residential mortgage loans pledged were approximately $322.9 million and $334.3 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and commercial real estate loans pledged were approximately $115.0 million and $930.7 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The fair value of investment securities pledged to the FHLB was approximately $835.2 million and $795.0 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Based on this collateral and the Company’s holding of FHLB stock, the Company is eligible to borrow up to an additional $815.2 million at year-end 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $150.0 million of putable advance structures with the FHLB in which the FHLB holds a one-time option to put certain advances on a stated exercise date prior to maturity. Among the Company’s putable advance structures, none have passed their one-time exercise date, with the next exercise date occurring in 2027.
The Company’s FHLB advances are shown below by their contractual maturity dates. Actual maturities may differ due to the putable advance structures discussed above.

Note 10: Subordinated Debt
In June 2019, the Company issued $37.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.0% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) in a public offering. The 2029 Notes bear interest at a floating rate equal to three-month Term SOFR plus 4.376%. All interest on the 2029 Notes is payable quarterly. The 2029 Notes are scheduled to mature on June 30, 2029. The 2029 Notes are unsecured subordinated obligations of the Company and may be repaid at any time, without penalty. The 2029 Notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital under regulatory guidelines.
In October 2020, the Company entered into a term loan in the principal amount of $10.0 million, evidenced by a term note due 2030 (the “2030 Note”). The 2030 Note initially accrued interest at a fixed rate of 6.0% per year to, but excluding, November 1, 2025, and thereafter at a floating rate equal to three-month Term SOFR plus 5.795%. The 2030 Note is scheduled to mature on November 1, 2030. The 2030 Note is an unsecured subordinated obligation of the Company and may be repaid, without penalty, on any interest payment date on or after November 1, 2025. The 2030 Note is intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital under regulatory guidelines. The Company used the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2030 Note to redeem a subordinated term note that had been entered into in October 2015.
In August 2021, the Company issued $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”) in a private placement. The 2031 Notes initially bear a fixed interest rate of 3.75% per year to, but excluding, September 1, 2026, and thereafter at a floating rate equal to the then-current benchmark rate (initially three-month Term SOFR plus 3.11%). The 2031 Notes are scheduled to mature on September 1, 2031. The 2031 Notes are unsecured subordinated obligations of the Company and may be repaid, without penalty, on any interest payment date on or after September 1, 2026. The 2031 Notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital under regulatory guidelines. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2031 Notes to redeem subordinated notes issued by the Company in 2016. Pursuant to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and the initial purchasers of the 2031 Notes, the Company offered to exchange the 2031 Notes for subordinated notes that are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and have substantially the same terms as the 2031 Notes. On December 30, 2021, we completed an exchange of $59.3 million principal amount of the unregistered 2031 Notes for registered 2031 Notes in satisfaction of our obligations under the registration rights agreement. Holders of $0.7 million of unregistered 2031 Notes did not participate in the exchange.
The following table presents the principal balance and unamortized discount and debt issuance costs for the 2029 Notes, the 2030 Note and the 2031 Notes as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Note 11: Benefit Plans
401(k) Plan
The Company has a 401(k) plan established for substantially all full-time and part-time employees, as defined in the plan. Employee contributions are limited to the maximum established by the Internal Revenue Service on an annual basis. The Company has elected to match contributions equal to 100% up to the first 2% of employee deferrals and 50% for employee deferrals above 2% up to a maximum of 6%, equating to a maximum match of 4% of an individual’s eligible earnings, as defined in the plan. Contributions totaled approximately $1.4 million, $1.1 million and $0.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Employment Agreements
The Company is party to certain employment agreements with each of its Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The employment agreements each provide for annual base salaries and annual bonuses, if any, as determined from time to time by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. The annual bonuses are to be determined with reference to the achievement of annual performance objectives established by the Compensation Committee. The agreements also provide that each of the Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, may be awarded additional compensation, benefits, or consideration as the Compensation Committee may determine.
The agreements also provide for the continuation of salary and certain other benefits for a specified period of time upon termination of employment under certain circumstances, including resignation for “good reason,” termination by the Company without “cause” at any time or any termination of employment within twelve months following a “change in control,” along with other specific conditions.
2022 Equity Incentive Plan
The First Internet Bancorp 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”) was approved by our Board of Directors and ratified by our shareholders on May 16, 2022. The plan permits awards of incentive and non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, stock unit awards, performance awards and other stock-based awards. All employees, consultants and advisors of the Company or any subsidiary, as well as all non-employee directors of the Company, are eligible to receive awards under the 2022 Plan. The 2022 Plan initially authorized the issuance of 400,000 new shares of the Company’s common stock plus all shares of common stock that remained available for future grants under the First Internet Bancorp 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”). Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of the stock at grant date. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.
Award Activity Under 2022 Plan
The Company recorded $1.2 million, $1.5 million, and $0.8 million of share-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to stock-based awards under the 2022 Plan.

Directors Deferred Stock Plan
Until January 2014, the Company had a practice of granting awards under a stock compensation plan for members of the Board of Directors (“Directors Deferred Stock Plan”). The Company reserved 180,000 shares of common stock that could have been issued pursuant to the Directors Deferred Stock Plan. The plan provided directors the option to elect to receive up to 100% of their annual retainer in either common stock or deferred stock rights. Deferred stock rights were to be settled in common stock following the end of the deferral period payable on the basis of one share of common stock for each deferred stock right.
The following table summarizes the status of deferred stock rights related to the Directors Deferred Stock Plan for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Note 13: Related Party Transactions
In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into transactions with various related parties. In management’s opinion, such loans, other extensions of credit, and deposits were made in the ordinary course of business and were made on substantially the same terms (including interest rates and collateral) as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons. Further, in management’s opinion, these loans did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.
Related party loans and extensions of credit at December 31, 2025 and 2024 totaled $49.1 million and $47.7 million, respectively.
The following table presents the change in related party loans as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Deposits from related parties held by the Company at December 31, 2025 and 2024 totaled $41.5 million and $31.9 million, respectively.
Note 14: Regulatory Capital Requirements
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors.
The Basel III Capital Rules became effective for the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015, subject to a phase-in period for certain provisions. Quantitative measures established by the Basel III Capital Rules to ensure capital adequacy require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios of Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and Total capital, as defined in the regulations, to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to adjusted quarterly average assets (“Leverage Ratio”).
The Basel III Capital Rules were fully phased in on January 1, 2019 and require the Company and the Bank to maintain: 1) a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%, plus a 2.5% “capital conservation buffer” (resulting in a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 7.0%); 2) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (resulting in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5%); 3) a minimum ratio of Total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (resulting in a minimum Total capital ratio of 10.5%); and 4) a minimum Leverage Ratio of 4.0%.
The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Failure to maintain the minimum Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio plus the capital conservation buffer will result in potential restrictions on a banking institution’s ability to pay dividends, repurchase stock and/or pay discretionary compensation to its employees.
The following tables present actual and required capital ratios as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 for the Company and the Bank under the Basel III Capital Rules. The minimum required capital amounts presented include the minimum required capital levels as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 based on the Basel III Capital Rules. Capital levels required to be considered well capitalized are based upon prompt corrective action regulations, as amended to reflect the changes under the Basel III Capital Rules.
As permitted by the federal banking regulatory agencies, the Company has elected the option to delay the impact of the day one adoption of ASC 326. The transition adjustment of $4.5 million is phased into the regulatory capital calculations over a three-year period, with 25% of the adjustment recognized in 2023, 50% of the adjustment recognized in 2024, 75% of the adjustment recognized in 2025 and 100% of the adjustment recognized in 2026.

In the normal course of business, the Company makes various commitments to extend credit which are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had outstanding loan commitments totaling approximately $617.6 million and $667.7 million, respectively.
Note 16: Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASU Topic 820 also specifies a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Available-for-Sale Securities
Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. The Company did not own any securities classified within Level 1 of the hierarchy as of December 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Level 2 securities include U.S. Government-sponsored agencies, municipal securities, mortgage and asset-backed securities and corporate securities. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique widely used in the banking industry to value investment securities.
In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. Fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows. Discounted cash flows are calculated based off of the anticipated future cash flows updated to incorporate loss severities. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as default and deferral activity are reviewed and incorporated into the calculation. The Company did not own any securities classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy as of December 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Servicing Asset
Fair value is based on a loan-by-loan basis taking into consideration the origination dates of the loans, the current age of the loans and the remaining term to maturity. The valuation methodology utilized for the servicing asset begins with generating estimated future cash flows for each servicing asset based on its unique characteristics and market-based assumptions for prepayment speeds and costs to service. The present value of the future cash flows is then calculated utilizing market-based discount rate assumptions (Level 3).
Interest Rate Swap Agreements Back-to-Back
The Company offers interest rate swaps to certain loan customers to allow them to hedge the risk of rising interest rates on their variable rate loans. The Company originates a variable rate loan and enters into a variable-to-fixed interest rate contract with the customer. The Company also enters into an offsetting interest rate swap with a correspondent bank. These back-to-back swap agreements are intended to offset each other and allow the Company to originate a variable rate loan, while providing a contract for fixed interest payments for the customer. The net cash flow for the Company is equal to the interest income received from a variable rate loan originated with the customer. The fair value of these derivatives is based on a discounted cash flow approach.
The following tables present the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The following describes the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Individually Analyzed Collateral Dependent Loans
Loans for which it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest due according to contractual terms are measured for impairment. The amount of impairment may be determined based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, the estimated present value of future cash flows, or the loan’s observable market price.
If the individually evaluated loan is identified as collateral dependent, the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, is used to measure impairment. This method requires obtaining a current independent appraisal of the collateral and applying a discount factor to the value. If the individually evaluated loan is not collateral dependent, the Company utilizes a discounted cash flow analysis to measure impairment.
Individually evaluated loans with a specific valuation allowance based on the value of the underlying collateral or a discounted cash flow analysis are classified as Level 3 assets.
The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurement falls at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at amounts other than fair value:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For these instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Securities Held-to-Maturity
Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. The Company did not own any securities classified within Level 1 of the hierarchy as of December 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Level 2 securities include agency mortgage-backed securities - residential, municipal securities and corporate securities. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique widely used in the banking industry to value investment securities.
In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. Fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows. Discounted cash flows are calculated based off of the anticipated future cash flows updated to incorporate loss severities. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as default and deferral activity are reviewed and incorporated into the calculation. The Company did not own any securities classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy as of December 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Loans Held-for-Sale
For loans that are sold in an active secondary market, the fair value of these loans is estimated based on secondary market price indications for loans with similar interest rate and maturity characteristics. The fair value of other loans held-for-sale approximates carrying value.
Net Loans
The fair value of loans is estimated on an exit price basis incorporating discounts for credit, liquidity and marketability factors.
Accrued Interest Receivable
The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value.
Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis Stock
The fair value of this financial instrument approximates carrying value.
Deposits
The fair value of noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing demand deposits, savings accounts and money market accounts approximates carrying value. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit and brokered deposits are estimated using rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank
The fair value of fixed rate advances is estimated using rates currently offered for similar remaining maturities. The carrying value of variable rate advances approximates fair value.
Subordinated Debt
The fair value of the Company’s publicly traded subordinated debt is obtained from quoted market prices. The fair value of the Company’s remaining subordinated debt is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on current borrowing rates for similar types of debt instruments.
Accrued Interest Payable
The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value.
Commitments
The fair value of commitments to extend credit are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements with similar maturities and interest rates. The Company determined that the fair value of commitments was zero based on the contractual value of outstanding commitments at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Note 17: Mortgage Banking Activities
The Bank’s residential real estate lending business originated mortgage loans for customers and typically sold a majority of the originated loans into the secondary market. For most of the mortgages sold in the secondary market, the Bank hedged its mortgage banking pipeline by entering into forward contracts for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third party investors and entering into IRLCs with potential borrowers to fund specific mortgage loans that would be sold into the secondary market. To facilitate the hedging of the loans, the Bank elected the fair value option for loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market under mandatory pricing agreements. Changes in the fair value of loans held-for-sale, IRLCs and forward contracts are recorded in the mortgage banking activities line item within noninterest income. Refer to Note 18 for further information on derivative financial instruments.
During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company originated no mortgage loans held-for-sale and did not sell any mortgage loans into the secondary market. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company originated mortgage loans held-for-sale of $36.3 million and received $46.5 million from the sale of mortgage loans into the secondary market. During the first quarter 2023, the Company made the decision to exit the residential mortgage business.
The following table provides the components of income from mortgage banking activities for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Note 18: Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments from time to time to help manage exposure to interest rate risk and the effects that changes in interest rates may have on net income and the fair value of assets and liabilities. The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset/liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position.
The Company offers interest rate swaps to certain loan customers to allow them to hedge the risk of rising interest rates on their variable rate loans. The Company originates a variable rate loan and enters into a variable-to-fixed interest rate contract with the customer. The Company also enters into an offsetting interest rate swap with a correspondent bank. These back-to-back swap agreements are intended to offset each other and allow the Company to originate a variable rate loan, while providing a contract for fixed interest payments for the customer. The net cash flow for the Company is equal to the interest income received from a variable rate loan originated with the customer. The fair value of these derivatives is based on a discounted cash flow approach.
In December 2024, the Company terminated interest rate swaps utilized as cash flow hedges against Federal Home Loan Bank advances, which resulted in swap termination receipts from counterparties of $2.9 million. As the Company had no further liability exposure to the underlying index hedged, the Company reclassified this amount from accumulated other comprehensive loss to the consolidated statements of operations and recognized a gain on termination of interest rate swaps for the year ended December 31, 2024.
In November 2024, the Company’s interest rate swap derivative designated as fair value hedges matured. As a result, the Company has no remaining fair value hedge exposure at December 31, 2024.
In March 2021, the Company terminated the last of layer interest rate swaps associated with available-for-sale agency mortgage-backed securities - residential, which resulted in swap termination payments to counterparties totaling $1.9 million. The corresponding fair value hedging adjustment was allocated pro-rata to the underlying hedged securities and is being amortized over the remaining lives of the designated securities. The Company had amortization expense totaling less than $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, which was recognized as a reduction to interest income on securities.
In June 2020, the Company terminated all fair value hedging relationships associated with loans, which resulted in swap termination payments to counterparties totaling $46.1 million. The corresponding loan fair value hedging adjustment as of the date of termination is being amortized over the remaining lives of the designated loans, which have a weighted average term to maturity of 8.8 years as of December 31, 2025. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, amortization expense totaling $3.8 million and $4.9 million, respectively, related to these previously terminated fair value hedges was recognized as a reduction to interest income on loans.
The following table presents the notional amount and fair value of interest rate swaps utilized by the Company at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The fair values of interest rate swaps were estimated using a discounted cash flow method that incorporates current market interest rates as of the balance sheet date. Refer to “Note 16 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for additional information.
Back-to-back swaps consist oftwo interest-rate swaps (a customer swap and an offsetting counterparty swap). As a result of this offsetting relationship, no net gains or losses are recognized in income. The Company received no cash collateral from counterparties as security for their obligations related to these swap transactions at December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company pledged cash collateral of $0.3 million and $0 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, to counterparties as security for its obligations related to these agreements. Collateral posted and received is dependent on the market valuation of the underlying hedges.

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-08, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Purchased Loans.
