Operating Results

Net Income and Earnings Per Share

Net income totaled $17.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $18.1 million for the third quarter of 2025 and $13.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. Net income available to common shareholders totaled $16.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $16.9 million for the third quarter of 2025 and $12.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The quarter-over-quarter decrease from the third quarter of 2025 was primarily due to merger-related expenses attributing to an increase in legal and professional expenses, and an increase in salaries and employee benefits related to sign on bonuses and severance expenses, partially offset by an increase in net interest income and an increase in non-margin loan fees. Dividends on our Series A Convertible Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") totaled $1.2 million for each of the quarters ended December 31, 2025, September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Basic and diluted earnings per share were $1.21 per share and $1.02 per share, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $1.22 per share and $1.03 per share, respectively, in the third quarter of 2025 and $0.92 per share and $0.79 per share, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Net Interest Margin and Net Interest Income

The net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2025 remained consistent with the third quarter of 2025 at 4.10%, compared to 3.71% for the fourth quarter of 2024.

Net interest income totaled $52.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of 2.7% from $50.8 million for the third quarter of 2025 and an increase of 20.2% from $43.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. Interest income totaled $92.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, a decrease of 0.4% from $92.5 million for the third quarter of 2025 and an increase of 7.7% from $85.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The quarter-over-quarter increase in net interest income primarily resulted from a decrease in interest expense. Interest expense was $39.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 4.2%, from $41.7 million for the third quarter of 2025 and a decrease of $2.2 million, or 5.2%, from $42.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily resulting from an reduction in rates paid on interest-bearing demand deposits.

Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense

Noninterest income totaled $4.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2025 and $2.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to an increase in non-margin loan fees during the fourth quarter of 2025.

Noninterest expense increased to $32.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $28.9 million for the third quarter of 2025 and $27.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The quarter-over-quarter increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to merger-related expenses. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company recorded merger-related expenses of $1.0 million in legal and professional expenses. Additionally, the Company recorded $1.5 million in salaries and employee benefits attributable to sign on bonuses and severance expenses during the fourth quarter of 2025. At December 31, 2025, the number of employees was 412, compared to 398 at September 30, 2025.

The efficiency ratio was 57.90% for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 53.03% for the third quarter of 2025 and 58.80% for the fourth quarter of 2024.

GAAP Reconciliation and Management's Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(unaudited)

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, we also evaluate our performance based on certain additional financial measures discussed in this earnings release as being non-GAAP financial measures. Specifically, we review Tangible Common Equity, Tangible Book Value Per Share, Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets, and Return on Average Tangible Common Equity for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We classify a financial measure as a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are not included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time in the United States in our statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows. Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating and other statistical measures or ratios, or statistical measures calculated using exclusively financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The non-GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this earnings release should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non-GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this earnings release may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. It is important to understand how other banking organizations calculate their financial measures with names similar to the non-GAAP financial measures we have discussed in this earnings release when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.

Management believes the following non-GAAP financial measures assist investors in understanding the financial condition of the company:

   -- Tangible Common Equity. The most directly comparable GAAP financial 
      measure for tangible common equity is total shareholders' equity. We 
      believe that this measure is important to many investors in the 
      marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to 
      period of tangible common equity. 
 
   -- Tangible Book Value Per Share. The most directly comparable GAAP 
      financial measure for tangible book value per share is book value per 
      share. We believe that the tangible book value per share measure is 
      important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in 
      changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of 
      changes in intangible assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets have 
      the effect of increasing total book value while not increasing our 
      tangible book value. 
 
   -- Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets. The most directly comparable 
      GAAP financial measure for tangible common equity is total shareholders' 
      equity, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible 
      assets is total assets, and the most directly comparable GAAP financial 
      measure for tangible common equity to tangible assets is total 
      shareholders' equity to total assets. We believe that this measure is 
      important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the 
      relative changes from period to period of tangible common equity to 
      tangible assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets. Goodwill 
      and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing both total 
      shareholders' equity and assets while not increasing our tangible common 
      equity or tangible assets. 
 
   -- Return on Average Tangible Common Equity. The most directly comparable 
      GAAP financial measure for average tangible common equity is average 
      shareholders' equity, and the most directly comparable GAAP financial 
      measure for return on average tangible common equity is return on average 
      common equity. We believe that this measure is important to many 
      investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes 
      from period to period of return on average tangible common equity, 
      exclusive of changes in intangible assets. Goodwill and other intangible 
      assets have the effect of increasing average shareholders' equity while 
      not increasing our tangible common equity. 

The calculations of these non-GAAP financial measures are as follows:
