From David P. Boyle, Company Chair and Chief Executive Officer
"Our fourth quarter 2025 results are a fitting cap to a year marked by disciplined execution. Our balance sheet remains strong and well-positioned, asset quality metrics improved, and we once again delivered top quartile returns compared to our peers. At the beginning of the year, we set goals to achieve a more granular, diverse and relationship-based loan portfolio, to grow our core deposits and non-interest income by delivering our full suite of products and services, and to continue our expansion into new and existing markets. We accomplished those goals and I am incredibly proud of the teamwork demonstrated across the Company to deliver what we said we would. By staying true to our core values of serving & leading, delivering more, elevating everyone, and always being invested in the long-term success of those around us, the foundation as we enter 2026 is solid. I'm grateful for the support of our shareholders and look forward to delivering increased value for them, our customers, our employees, and our communities."

Results of Operations
Fourth Quarter 2025 compared to Third Quarter 2025
The Company reported fourth quarter 2025 net income applicable to common shares of $30.0 million, or $1.98 per diluted common share, compared to third quarter 2025 net income applicable to common shares of $29.7 million, or $1.97 per diluted common share.
-- Period-end total gross loans were $5.4 billion at December 31, 2025, a
decrease of $171.8 million from September 30, 2025, as the Company exited
approximately $201.5 million of non-strategic loans while originating
$383.3 million of new, relationship-based loan commitments.
-- Period-end total deposits were $6.4 billion at December 31, 2025, a
decrease of $8.1 million from September 30, 2025. Excluding a $60.0
million decrease in brokered deposits, core deposits increased $51.9
million.
-- Net interest income for the quarter was $74.9 million compared to $73.8
million in the prior quarter due to a decrease in interest expense of
$1.2 million. The decrease in total interest expense was primarily driven
by lower deposit costs from a decrease in the balance of brokered time
deposits and lower rates on certain deposit products.
-- Net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis (non-GAAP1)
increased to 4.11% versus 4.08% in the third quarter of 2025, mainly
attributable to a decrease in yield on interest-bearing liabilities
compared to the third quarter of 2025.
-- Accretion income on loans during the quarter was $8.7 million, and the
amortization expense impact on interest expense was $1.4 million, or 39.3
bps of net interest margin on an annualized basis in the fourth quarter
of 2025. In the prior quarter, accretion income on loans during the
quarter was $8.2 million, and the amortization expense impact on interest
expense was $1.4 million, or 36.7 bps of net interest margin on an
annualized basis.
-- The cost of total deposits, including non-interest bearing deposits, was
1.80% in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 1.87% in the third
quarter of 2025. The decrease in the cost of deposits was mostly due to a
decrease in the rate paid on interest-bearing deposits compared to the
third quarter of 2025.
-- The Company recorded credit provision expense in the fourth quarter of
2025 of $136 thousand and the Company's allowance for credit losses at
December 31, 2025, was $67.8 million, or 1.3% of total loans.
-- Total non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $11.6
million compared to $11.6 million in the prior quarter. While collection
of death proceeds from company-owned life insurance increased
non-interest income by $1.7 million in the fourth quarter, this increase
was offset by decreases in other categories of non-interest income
including service charges and fees, net gains (losses) on securities and
other non-interest income in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the
third quarter of 2025.
-- Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $48.5 million
compared to $48.1 million in the third quarter of 2025, with all
categories remaining relatively flat quarter over quarter.

Operating net income is a non-GAAP measure that is derived from net income adjusted for significant items. The Company believes that operating net income is useful in periods with certain significant items such as merger-related expenses. The operating net income is more reflective of management's ability to grow the business and manage expenses. Adjusted non-interest expense also removes these significant items, such as merger-related expenses. Management believes it represents a more normalized non-interest expense total for periods with identified significant items.

Pretax, pre-provision earnings is a non-GAAP measure and is based on adjusting income before income taxes and to exclude provision for (recapture of) credit losses. We believe that pretax, pre-provision earnings is a useful tool to help evaluate the ability to provide for credit costs through operations and provides an additional basis to compare results between periods by isolating the impact of provision for (recapture of) credit losses, which can vary significantly between periods.

In management's view, tangible common equity measures are capital adequacy metrics that may be meaningful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, in assessing the Company's use of equity and in facilitating comparisons with peers. These non-GAAP measures are valuable indicators of a financial institution's capital strength because they eliminate intangible assets from shareholders' equity and retain the effect of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) in shareholders' equity.

The interest income earned on certain earning assets is completely or partially exempt from federal income tax. As such, these tax-exempt instruments typically yield lower returns than taxable investments. To provide more meaningful comparisons of net interest income, we use net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis by increasing the interest income earned on tax-exempt assets to make it fully equivalent to interest income earned on taxable investments. 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. 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 and this adjustment is not permitted under GAAP. FTE net interest income is only used for calculating FTE net interest margin, which is calculated by annualizing FTE net interest income and then dividing by the average earning assets. The tax rate used for this adjustment is 21%. Net interest income shown elsewhere in this presentation is GAAP net interest income.
(1) Non-GAAP financial measures referenced in this release are used by management to measure performance in operating the business that management believes enhances investors' ability to better understand the underlying business performance and trends related to core business activities. Reconciliations of non-GAAP operating measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the non-GAAP reconciliation tables in this release. Non-GAAP measures should not be used as a substitute for the closest comparable GAAP measurements.
