Current report

As a result of the LNKB Merger, as of May 1, 2026, we have total consolidated assets of $11.0 billion, compared to $7.9 billion as of December 31, 2025. The increase in the size of our assets will lead to additional scrutiny from governmental authorities. Banks with $10 billion or more in total assets are, among other things: examined directly by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”) with respect to various federal consumer financial laws; subject to reduced dividends on any holdings of Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond common stock; subject to limits on interchange fees pursuant to Section 920 of the Electronic Funds Transfer Act (known as the Durbin Amendment); no longer treated as a “small institution” for FDIC deposit insurance assessment purposes; and no longer eligible to elect to be subject to the Community Bank Leverage Ratio. Compliance with these additional ongoing requirements may necessitate additional personnel, the design and implementation of additional internal controls, and the incurrence of significant expenses, which could have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Current report

The Durbin Amendment. The Federal Reserve's regulations implementing the Durbin Amendment cap the maximum permissible interchange fee for covered issuers at $0.21 per transaction plus 5 basis points multiplied by the value of the transaction, with an additional $0.01 per transaction for issuers that implement policies and procedures reasonably designed to achieve certain fraud-prevention standards. Prior to crossing the $10 billion threshold, the Bank was exempt from these interchange fee limitations. Beginning July 1, 2027, the Bank will become subject to the Durbin Amendment's interchange fee limitations, which will reduce the interchange income we receive on debit card transactions. While we are still evaluating the full impact, we expect the Durbin Amendment to result in a meaningful reduction in our debit card interchange revenue. We are exploring strategies to mitigate this impact, including reviewing our deposit product pricing and fee structures.

Current report

CFPB Supervision. Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), the CFPB has examination and primary enforcement authority over insured depository institutions with more than $10 billion in assets for compliance with federal consumer financial laws. As a result of crossing this threshold, the Bank is now subject to CFPB supervision, which includes periodic examinations by the CFPB. The CFPB has broad rulemaking authority over consumer financial products and services. CFPB supervision may result in increased compliance costs, require changes to certain of our business practices, and subject us to potential enforcement actions or penalties if we are found to be in violation of federal consumer financial laws.

Current report

FDIC Insurance. For institutions with greater than $10 billion in assets, deposit insurance pricing is based on a supervisory rating system designed to take into account and reflect all financial and operational risks that a bank may face, including capital adequacy, asset quality, management capability, earnings, liquidity, and sensitivity to market risk (“CAMELS”), in addition to financial measures used to estimate an institution’s ability to withstand asset-related and funding-related stress, and a measure of loss severity that estimates the relative magnitude of potential losses to the FDIC in the event of the institution’s failure. Banks with $10 billion or more in total assets may be subject to assessments or increases in premiums from time to time if the FDIC needs to replenish the Deposit Insurance Fund to required levels.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2025

Current report

Net income applicable to common shares for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was $36.4 million, compared to net income applicable to common shares of $56.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The $20.3 million decrease in net income applicable to common shares was primarily the result of an increase in merger-related expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Current report

Net interest income increased by $17.7 million to $164.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $147.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The main driver for this increase was the impact of the LNKB Merger which resulted in an increase in the balance of interest-earning assets, in excess of the increase in interest-bearing liabilities.

Current report

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded credit provision expense of $1.4 million compared to a provision of $1.1 million, which was a small increase compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the provision for off-balance sheet credit exposures was $2.0 million, compared to a recovery of $492.0 thousand, for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Current report

Non-interest income increased by $3.8 million, or 16.6%, to $26.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $22.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. All categories of non-interest income increased except service charges and fees and net (losses) gains on securities for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increases in income from fiduciary and wealth management income was driven by the acquisition of Burke & Herbert Wealth Services, LLC, while increases in company-owned life insurance, bank debit and other card revenue and other non-interest income were driven by the LNKB Merger, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Current report

Non-interest expense increased by $45.9 million, or 46.4%, to $144.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $99.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to the effect of the LNKB Merger and included higher legal, consulting, audit, investment banking, software contract terminations, and change-in-control salary and benefit payments for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Current report

Net interest income totaled $164.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $147.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in net interest income was primarily driven by the LNKB Merger and results reflecting higher average balances of interest-earning assets in excess of the higher average balances of interest-bearing liabilities. Accretion income associated with acquired loans totaled $16.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $23.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Current report

The tax-adjusted net interest margin was 4.12% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 4.17% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in tax-adjusted net interest margin was primarily driven by lower accretion income and the acquisition of lower yielding loans from the LNKB Merger which led to lower rates on interest-earning assets.

Current report

The yield for the taxable loan portfolio was 6.58% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 6.93% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily the result of an increase in the balance of lower yielding loans due to the LNKB Merger, as well as lower accretion income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Current report

The tax-adjusted yield on the total investment securities portfolio was 4.23% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 3.90% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was mainly due to higher yields through reinvestment in our securities portfolio as well as an increase in balances due to the LNKB Merger.

Current report

The rate on interest-bearing deposits decreased to 2.21% during the six months ended June 30, 2026, from 2.47% during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the LNKB Merger which resulted in an increase in lower rate deposits and decreases in interest rates across the different categories of deposit liabilities as well as decreases in market rates.

Current report

(5)The interest rate spread represents the difference between the fully taxable-equivalent weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets and the weighted-average rate of interest-bearing liabilities for the period.

Current report

Total interest income was $242.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $222.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of 8.9%. The increase in interest income was primarily due to the LNKB Merger and an increase in the balance of interest-earning assets, partially offset by a decrease in accretion income, when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. Interest income on loans increased by $11.0 million and interest income on securities increased $8.8 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to a higher volume of interest earning assets and higher reinvestment rates in our securities portfolio.

Current report

Total interest expense was $77.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $75.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Current report

The largest percentage increase included a $1.8 million increase in other non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, driven by increases in the utilization of services and fees in other non-interest income categories.

Previous wording

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based on current beliefs, expectations, or assumptions regarding the future of the business, future plans and strategies, operational results, and other future conditions of the Company. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q regarding the prospects of our industry or our prospects, plans, financial position, or business strategy may constitute forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “plans,” “expects” or “does not expect,” “is expected,” “look forward to,” “budget,” “scheduled,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “will continue,” “intends,” “the intent of,” “have the potential,” “anticipates,” “does not anticipate,” “believes,” “should,” “should not,” or variations of such words and phrases that indicate that certain actions, events, or results “may,” “could,” “would,” “might,” or “will,” “be taken,” “occur,” or “be achieved,” or the negative of these terms or variations of them or similar terms. Additionally, forward–looking statements speak only as of the date they are made; the Company does not assume any duty, does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation to update such forward–looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether because of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. Furthermore, because forward–looking statements are subject to assumptions and uncertainties, actual results or future events could differ, possibly materially, from those indicated in or implied by such forward-looking statements because of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Further, factors identified herein are not necessarily all of the factors that could cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by any of the forward-looking statements.

Current wording

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based on current beliefs, expectations, or assumptions regarding the future of the business, future plans and strategies, operational results, and other future conditions of the Company. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q regarding the prospects of our industry or our prospects, plans, financial position, or business strategy may constitute forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “plans,” “expects” or “does not expect,” “is expected,” “look forward to,” “budget,” “scheduled,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “will continue,” “intends,” “the intent of,” “have the potential,” “anticipates,” “does not anticipate,” “believes,” “should,” “should not,” or variations of such words and phrases that indicate that certain actions, events, or results “may,” “could,” “would,” “might,” or “will,” “be taken,” “occur,” or “be achieved,” or the negative of these terms or variations of them or similar terms. Additionally, forward–looking statements speak only as of the date they are made; the Company does not assume any duty, does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation to update such forward–looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether because of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. Furthermore, because forward–looking statements are subject to assumptions and uncertainties, actual results or future events could differ, possibly materially, from those indicated in or implied by such forward-looking statements because of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Further, factors identified herein are not necessarily all of the factors that could cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by any of the forward-looking statements. Other factors, including unknown or unpredictable factors, also could harm the Company.

Previous wording

For acquisitions, we are required to record the assets acquired, including identified intangible assets such as core deposit intangibles, and the liabilities assumed at their respective fair values. The difference between consideration and the net fair value of assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Management uses significant estimates and assumptions to value such items, including projected cash flows, repayment rates, default rates and losses assuming default, discount rates, and realizable collateral values. The allowance for credit losses for purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) and purchased seasoned loans (“PSL”) loans is recognized within acquisition accounting. The allowance for credit losses for non-PCD and non-PSL assets is recognized as provision for credit losses in the same reporting period as the acquisition. Fair value adjustments are amortized or accreted into the income statement over the estimated life of the acquired assets or assumed liabilities. The purchase date valuations and any subsequent adjustments determine the amount of goodwill recognized in connection with the acquisition. The use of different assumptions could produce significantly different valuation results, which could have material positive or negative effects on our results of operations. The carrying value of goodwill recorded must be reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, as well as on an interim basis if events or changes indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss must be recognized for any excess of carrying value over fair value of the goodwill.

Previous wording

The allowance for credit losses represents our estimate of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and projections including reasonable and supportable, reversion, and post-reversion forecasts. It is a valuation account that is deducted from the financial assets’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. Financial assets are charged-off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a financial asset is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off.

Financial assets are charged-off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a financial asset is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off.

Previous wording

The Company’s loan portfolio is the largest financial asset that is in scope of this critical accounting estimate. Determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses is considered a critical accounting estimate, because it is based on the evaluation of the size and current risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and prepayment experience as related to credit contractual terms. Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information from internal and external sources. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses; adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics, such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, and delinquency levels, as well as for changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values, or other relevant factors. The model methodology used for funded credits, along with taking into consideration the probability of drawdowns or funding on unfunded commitments and whether such commitments are irrevocable or not by the Company, is how the Company determines the allowance for credit losses for unfunded commitments. These evaluations are conducted at least quarterly and more frequently, if deemed necessary.

Determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses is considered a critical accounting estimate, because it is based on the evaluation of the size and current risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and prepayment experience as related to credit contractual terms. Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information from internal and external sources. Historical credit loss experience as related to macroeconomic data provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses over defined credit contractual terms. Qualitative adjustments to modeled loss rates are made for differences in current portfolio risk characteristics, such as for credit concentrations and for adversely classified or graded credits.

Previous wording

The Company is using an internally developed model that produces an estimate of the allowance for credit losses as the lifetime expected credit losses of the loan portfolio. This model uses a remaining useful life or weighted average remaining maturity (“WARM”) method within defined-contractual terms by federal call codes. The model forecasts net charge-off rates by call codes using ordinary least squares (“OLS”) regression models that use macroeconomic variables to forecast the Company’s and peer banks’ net charge-off rates. These models are used to produce reasonable and supportable forecasts of net charge-off rates. The macroeconomic variables utilized by the Company include variables that meet defined criteria in forecasting credit losses for our loan portfolio. These variables include, but are not limited to, unemployment rates, housing and commercial real estate prices, gross domestic product levels, equity market conditions or interest rates, as well as other variables that are portfolio-specific, such as those pertaining to commercial real estate or to residential loan portfolios. The Company sources the macroeconomic variables and the macroeconomic variable forecasts that it uses in its ACL model from the Standard & Poor’s Global Market Intelligence and from CoStar Group.

Current wording

The Company is using a third-party developed model that produces an estimate of the allowance for credit losses as the lifetime expected credit losses of the loan portfolio. This model uses a remaining useful life or WARM method within defined contractual terms by federal call codes. The model forecasts charge-off rates by call codes using ordinary least squares (“OLS”) regression models that use macroeconomic variables to forecast the Company’s charge-off rates. These models are used to produce reasonable and supportable forecasts of charge-off rates. The macroeconomic variables utilized by the Company are sourced from third parties and include variables that meet defined criteria in forecasting credit losses for our loan portfolio. These variables include, but are not limited to such items as equity market conditions or interest rates, as well as to portfolio-specific indicators, such as those that pertain to the commercial real estate or to the residential loan portfolios. To review the integrity of the modeled output, Management validates, validates the specific loan and macroeconomic data inputs.

Previous wording

The Company currently has set an initial reasonable and supportable forecast period of two years with subsequent immediate reversion to the historical average loss rates in remaining periods of the modeled contractual terms. Based on management’s analysis, adjustments may be applied for additional factors impacting the risk of loss in the loan portfolio beyond information used to calculate reasonable and supportable forecast and the subsequent reversion to historical loss information on collectively evaluated loans. As the reasonable and supportable forecast and reversion period forecast reflects the use of the macroeconomic variable loss drivers, management may consider that an additional or reduced reserve is warranted through qualitative risk factors based on current and expected conditions, including those that utilize supplemental information relative to the macroeconomic variable loss drivers. Qualitative adjustments considered by management include the following: (i) management’s assessment of macroeconomic forecasts used in the model and how those forecasts align with management’s overall evaluation of current expected credit conditions; (ii) organization specific risks such as credit concentrations, collateral specific risks, nature and size of the portfolio, and external factors that may ultimately impact credit quality; and (iii) underwriting and delinquency trends. The qualitative factors applied at March 31, 2026, and the importance and levels of the qualitative factors applied, may change in future periods depending on the level of changes to items such as the uncertainty of economic conditions and management’s assessment of the level of credit risk within the loan portfolio as a result of such changes, compared to the amount of ACL calculated by the model. Management reviews supplemental data sources including historical net charge-off rates and data measuring other specific credit outcomes from its systems of record in supporting qualitative factors. However, qualitative factor evaluations are inherently imprecise and require significant management judgment.

The Company currently has set an initial reasonable and supportable forecast period of two years with a subsequent one-year input reversion period to the historical mean input forecast loss rates in the remaining or post-reversion periods of the modeled contractual terms. Based on management’s analysis, adjustments may be applied for additional factors impacting the risk of loss in the loan portfolio beyond information used to calculate reasonable and supportable forecasts and the subsequent reversion to historical loss information on collectively evaluated loans.

The qualitative factors applied at June 30, 2026, and the importance and levels of the qualitative factors applied, may change in future periods depending on the level of changes to items such as the uncertainty of economic conditions and management’s assessment of the level of credit risk within the loan portfolio as a result of such changes, compared to the amount of ACL calculated by the model exclusive of qualitative factors. Management reviews supplemental data sources including historical charge-off rates and data measuring other specific credit outcomes from its systems of record in supporting qualitative factors.

The Bank believes its underwriting and monitoring standards for commercial real estate loans are sufficient to evaluate its loan portfolio and keep it from incurring significant losses. The largest concentration of the Bank’s commercial real estate loans are in Virginia (approximately 49.6%), and the Bank does not have significant exposure to any economic areas of the country that are underperforming the national economy. Additionally, the Bank’s overall exposure to the “Office Building / Condo” collateral type is 17.3% of total commercial real estate loans, including owner-occupied commercial real estate and acquisition, construction & development. The Bank believes that the combined loan portfolio is well-diversified, generally seasoned, manageable, and will outperform the industry in terms of performance through the economic cycle; however, our underwriting, review, and monitoring cannot eliminate all of the risks related to these loans. For further discussion see Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors”.

Net income applicable to common shares for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $27.1 million, compared to net income applicable to common shares of $27.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The $0.1 million increase was due to a decrease in interest expense, and an increase in non-interest income, partially offset by a decrease in interest income, and an increase in non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Current wording

Net income applicable to common shares for the three months ended June 30, 2026, was $9.3 million, compared to net income applicable to common shares of $29.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025. The $20.4 million decrease in net income applicable to common shares was primarily the result of an increase in merger-related expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Previous wording

The tax-adjusted net interest margin was 4.09% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 4.18% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in tax-adjusted net interest margin was primarily driven by results that reflect lower interest income, primarily related to lower accretion income, partially offset by lower interest expense related to lower deposit rates, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Current wording

The tax-adjusted net interest margin was 4.15% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 4.17% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in tax-adjusted net interest margin was primarily driven by the LNKB Merger and the acquisition of additional lower yielding loans which led to lower rates on interest-earning assets and lower accretion income when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Previous wording

Total interest expense was $33.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $37.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in interest expense was due to results that reflect lower rates on interest-bearing liabilities, and lower amortization expense associated with fair value marks for liabilities acquired in the Summit Merger. Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits decreased by $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, due to lower market rates. Interest on subordinated debt acquired in the Summit Merger was $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Interest expense on short-term borrowings amounted to $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, due to higher average balances.

The largest dollar increase was a $1.8 million increase in net gains on securities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was driven by an increase in sales in our AFS securities portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. Increases in fiduciary and wealth management, income from company-owned life insurance, and other non-interest income exceeded declines in service charges and fees income and bank debit and other card revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The fiduciary and wealth management increase was driven by increased wealth and fiduciary services performance.

Current wording

Non-interest income increased 7.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The largest dollar and percentage increase was a $1.4 million increase in other non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was driven by an increase in the utilization of services and fees in other non-interest income categories for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. Increases in fiduciary and wealth management, service charges and fees, income from company-owned life insurance, bank debit and other card revenue, and other non-interest income exceeded the decline in net (losses) gains on securities for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The fiduciary and wealth management increase was driven by the acquisition of Burke & Herbert Wealth Services, LLC and increased wealth and fiduciary services performance, while the decrease in net (losses) gains from securities was driven by security sales.

Previous wording

Non-interest expense increased $1.7 million, or 3.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The largest dollar increase for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 was a $1.3 million increase in other operating expenses, mostly driven by an increase in merger related expenses. The largest dollar decrease was a $614.0 thousand decrease in core deposit intangible amortization which declined due to its accelerated amortization method. See Note 13 — Other Operating Expense in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on “Other” non-interest expense.

Current wording

Non-interest expense increased $44.2 million, or 89.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the LNKB Merger and merger expenses which included higher legal, consulting, audit, investment banking, software contract terminations, and change-in-control salary and benefit payments during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The largest dollar increase for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $20.1 million for salaries and wages, mostly driven by change-in-control salary and benefit payments and a larger company-wide headcount, while core deposit intangible amortization increased due to the addition of new intangible assets from the LNKB Merger. See Note 13 — Other Operating Expense in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on “Other” non-interest expense.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

The model methodology used for funded credits, along with taking into consideration the probability of drawdowns or funding on unfunded commitments and whether such commitments are irrevocable or not by the Company, is how the Company determines the allowance for credit losses for unfunded commitments. These evaluations are conducted at least quarterly and more frequently, if deemed necessary.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

The rate on our short-term borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was 3.70%, compared to 3.90% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was due to decreases in the Federal Funds Rate and other short-term market rates and the addition of derivative swaps that decreased our cost of borrowing. The rate on our subordinated debt was 9.68% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 9.73% for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

The following table sets forth the major components of net interest income and the related yields and rates for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2025, for comparison (dollars in thousands).

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

The following table sets forth the dollar difference in interest earned and paid for each major category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the noted periods and the amount of such change attributable to changes in average balances (volume) or changes in average interest rates. Interest income and interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2025, are annualized using actual days over calendar year method. Volume variances are equal to the increase or decrease in average balance multiplied by current period rates, and rate variances are equal to the increase or decrease in rate times prior period average balances. Variances attributable to both rate and volume changes are calculated by multiplying the change in rate by the change in average balance and are allocated to the volume variance. See table below (in thousands).

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

Net interest income is the principal component of the Company’s income stream and represents the difference, or spread, between interest and fee income generated from earning assets and the interest expense paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest margin, stated as a percentage, is the yield obtained by dividing the difference between interest income generated on earning assets and the interest expense paid on all funding sources by average earning assets.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

Fluctuations in interest rates as well as changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities can impact net interest income and net interest margin. Management closely monitors both total net interest income and the net interest margin and seeks to maximize net interest income without exposing the Company to an excessive level of interest rate risk through our asset and liability policies. Interest rate risk is managed by monitoring the pricing, maturity and repricing options of all classes of interest-bearing assets and liabilities.

(6)The net interest margin represents FTE net interest income as a percent of average interest-earning assets for the period.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

Taxable-equivalent net interest margin, as presented above, is calculated by dividing FTE net interest income by total average earning assets. Net interest income, on an FTE basis, is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company believes provides a more accurate picture of the interest margin for comparative purposes. Management believes FTE net interest income is a standard practice in the banking industry, and when net interest income is adjusted on an FTE basis, yields on taxable, nontaxable, and partially taxable assets are comparable; however, the adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on net income. FTE net interest income is calculated by adding the tax benefit on certain financial interest-earning assets, whose interest is tax-exempt, to total interest income then subtracting total interest expense. As a non-GAAP measure, FTE net interest income should not be considered as a substitute for the nearest comparable GAAP measure, net interest income. Net interest income shown elsewhere in this presentation is GAAP net interest income. The following table reconciles GAAP net interest income to FTE net interest income (in thousands).
