Discussion of Operating Results

Net Interest Income/Net Interest Margin

Tax-equivalent net interest income for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $42.9 million, compared to $43.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, and $41.6 million for the first quarter of 2025. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, the decrease was primarily driven by lower loan interest income due to lower average loan balances and lower overnight funds income, partially offset by higher investment securities income due to new investment purchases at higher yields and lower deposit interest expense. Two less calendar days contributed to the decline compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the increase was primarily attributable to higher investment securities income due to new investment purchases at higher yields and higher overnight funds income due to higher average balances that outpaced a decrease in loan interest income due to lower average balances.

Our net interest margin for the first quarter of 2026 was 4.24%, a decrease of two basis points from the fourth quarter of 2025 and an increase of two basis points over the first quarter of 2025. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 the decrease was primarily attributable to a lower overnight funds rate and lower average loan balances. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the increase reflected favorable investment securities repricing partially offset by a lower overnight funds rate and lower average loan balances. For the first quarter of 2026, our cost of funds was 81 basis points, a decrease of one basis point from the fourth quarter of 2025 and a decrease of three basis points from the first quarter of 2025. Our cost of deposits (including noninterest bearing accounts) was 81 basis points, 82 basis points, and 82 basis points, respectively, for the same periods.

Provision for Credit Losses 

We recorded a provision expense for credit losses of $0.7 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $2.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2025. Activity within the components of the provision (loans held for investment (“HFI”) and unfunded loan commitments) for each reported period is provided in the table on page 14. We discuss the various factors that impacted our provision expense for Loans HFI in further detail below under the heading Allowance for Credit Losses.

Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $19.9 million, a $0.2 million, or 0.8%, decrease from the fourth quarter of 2025 and similar to the first quarter of 2025. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2025 reflected a $0.5 million decrease in wealth management fees and a $0.2 million decrease in deposit fees, partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in other income. The decline in wealth management fees was primarily due to a decrease in retail brokerage fees. The increase in other income was due to a $0.5 million miscellaneous recovery. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, a $1.7 million decrease in wealth management fees was offset by a $0.7 million increase in other income, a $0.5 million increase in deposit related fees, and a $0.4 million increase in mortgage banking revenues. The decline in wealth management fees was attributable to a decrease in retail brokerage assets under management and lower insurance commission revenue due to the sale of our insurance subsidiary in 2025. The increase in other income reflected the aforementioned miscellaneous recovery of $0.5 million.

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $41.4 million, a $1.5 million, or 3.5%, decrease from the fourth quarter of 2025 and a $2.7 million, or 6.9%, increase over the first quarter of 2025. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2025 reflected a $2.7 million decrease in compensation expense, partially offset by a $1.2 million increase in other expense. The decrease in compensation expense was primarily due to higher performance-based incentive pay of $2.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. The increase in other expense reflected a $1.5 million pension plan settlement gain recorded in the fourth quarter of 2025. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the increase reflected a $2.9 million increase in other expense and a $0.3 million increase in occupancy expense, which was partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in compensation expense. The increase in other expense was primarily attributable to a $4.1 million increase in other real estate expense that reflected a gain from the sale of our operations center building in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by decreases in charitable contributions, professional fees, and other miscellaneous expenses. The increase in occupancy expense was primarily attributable to higher expense for maintenance agreements and software. The decrease in compensation expense reflected a decrease in commission expense related to the sale of our insurance subsidiary.

Income Taxes

We realized income tax expense of $4.8 million (effective rate of 23.5%) for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $4.9 million (effective rate of 26.3%) for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $5.1 million (effective rate of 23.3%) for the first quarter of 2025. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, the variance in the effective tax rate reflected discrete items for both quarters, including a benefit in the first quarter of 2026 related to stock-based compensation and an expense in the fourth quarter of 2025 related to an Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 162(m) limitation for executive compensation. Absent discrete items or new tax credit investments, we expect our annual effective tax rate to approximate 24% for 2026.

Discussion of Financial Condition

Earning Assets

Average earning assets totaled $4.090 billion for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $53.9 million, or 1.3% over the fourth quarter of 2025, and an increase of $95.9 million, or 2.4% over the first quarter of 2025. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, the change in earning asset mix reflected a $113.1 million increase in investment securities and a $0.5 million increase in loans held for sale (“HFS”), partially offset by a $29.9 million decrease in overnight funds sold and a $29.8 million decrease in loans held for investment. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the increase was primarily attributable to a $136.8 million increase in investment securities and an $86.7 million increase in overnight funds sold, partially offset by a $127.6 million decrease in loans held for investment.

Average loans HFI decreased by $29.8 million, or 1.16% from the fourth quarter of 2025, and decreased by $127.6 million, or 4.8% from the first quarter of 2025. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, the decline was primarily attributable to decreases in residential real estate loans of $16.3 million, commercial real estate loans of $10.2 million, construction loans of $4.2 million, consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $2.3 million, and commercial loans of $1.5 million, partially offset by an increase in home equity loans of $4.0 million. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the decline was primarily attributable to declines in construction loans of $56.8 million, commercial real estate loans of $32.6 million, consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $23.4 million, residential real estate loans of $21.8 million, and commercial loans of $11.3 million, partially offset by an increase in home equity loans of $19.1 million.

Loans HFI at March 31, 2026, decreased by $27.7 million, or 1.1%, from December 31, 2025, and decreased by $142.4 million, or 5.4%, from March 31, 2025. Compared to December 31, 2025, the decline was primarily due to decreases in residential real estate loans of $22.2 million, commercial real estate loans of $12.9 million, commercial loans of $10.1 million, other loans of $7.6 million and consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $2.8 million, partially offset by increases in construction loans of $9.7 million and home equity loans of $3.0 million. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the decrease was primarily attributable to declines in commercial real estate loans of $51.1 million, residential real estate loans of $41.9 million, construction loans of $35.7 million, consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $26.7 million, and commercial loans of $14.1 million, partially offset by an increase in home equity loans of $17.9 million.

Allowance for Credit Losses

At March 31, 2026, the allowance for credit losses for loans HFI totaled $31.0 million comparable to $31.0 million and $29.7 million at December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Activity within the allowance is provided on Page 10. The slight increase in the allowance over March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to utilization of a higher forecasted unemployment rate in calculating loan loss rates. Net loan charge-offs were 10 basis points of average loans for the first quarter of 2026 versus 18 basis points for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 9 basis points for the first quarter of 2025. At March 31, 2026, the allowance represented 1.23% of loans HFI compared to 1.22% at December 31, 2025, and 1.12% at March 31, 2025.

Credit Quality

Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and other real estate) totaled $13.0 million at March 31, 2026 compared to $10.5 million at December 31, 2025 and $4.4 million at March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets was 0.29%, compared to 0.24% at December 31, 2025 and 0.10% at March 31, 2025. Nonaccrual loans totaled $11.1 million at March 31, 2026, a $2.5 million increase over December 31, 2025 and a $6.8 million increase over March 31, 2025. The increase over December 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to the addition of four residential 1-4 family real estate loans totaling $1.9 million. Other real estate totaled $1.8 million at March 31, 2026 and reflected the addition of a banking office property for $1.2 million during the first quarter of 2026. Further, classified loans totaled $14.5 million at March 31, 2026, a $0.2 million increase over December 31, 2025 and a $4.6 million decrease from March 31, 2025.  

Deposits

Average total deposits were $3.691 billion for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $43.5 million, or 1.2%, over the fourth quarter of 2025 and an increase of $25.5 million, or 0.7%, over the first quarter of 2025. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, the increase was primarily attributable to higher public funds balances of $99 million, driven by seasonal inflows from municipal clients as they receive their tax receipts beginning in late November, partially offset by declines in core deposits of $64 million (noninterest bearing and interest bearing DDAs). The increase over the first quarter of 2025 was due to growth in both core deposit balances, and public funds.

At March 31, 2026, total deposits were $3.752 billion, an increase of $89.3 million, or 2.4%, over December 31, 2025, and a decrease of $32.3 million, or 0.9%, from March 31, 2025. The increase over December 31, 2025, was driven by higher core deposit balances of $103 million (primarily noninterest bearing and NOW accounts), partially offset by a decrease in public funds balances of $25 million (primarily NOW accounts). The decrease from March 31, 2025, was primarily due to lower public funds balances (noninterest bearing accounts). Total public funds balances were $629.9 million at March 31, 2026, $654.7 million at December 31, 2025, and $648.0 million at March 31, 2025.  

Liquidity

The Bank maintained an average net overnight funds (i.e., deposits with banks plus FED funds sold, less FED funds purchased) sold position of $407.7 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $437.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 and $320.9 million in the first quarter of 2025. Compared to both prior periods, the variance reflected higher average deposits and lower average loans and the deployment of excess liquidity into the investment security portfolio.
  
We also view our investment portfolio as a liquidity source as we have the option to pledge securities in our portfolio as collateral for borrowings or deposits, and/or to sell selected securities in our portfolio. Our portfolio consists of debt issued by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. governmental agencies, municipal governments, and corporate entities. At March 31, 2026, the weighted-average maturity and duration of our portfolio were 2.98 years and 2.64 years, respectively, and the available-for-sale portfolio had a net unrealized after-tax loss of $11.7 million.

At March 31, 2026, we had the ability to generate approximately $1.651 billion (excludes overnight funds position of $425 million) in additional liquidity through various sources including various federal funds purchased lines, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, the Federal Reserve Discount Window, and brokered deposits.
  
Capital

Shareowners’ equity was $559.9 million at March 31, 2026 compared to $552.9 million at December 31, 2025 and $512.6 million at March 31, 2025. For the first three months of 2026, shareowners’ equity was positively impacted by net income attributable to shareowners of $15.8 million, the issuance of stock of $2.8 million, and stock compensation accretion of $0.5 million. Shareowners’ equity was reduced by a common stock dividend of $4.6 million ($0.27 per share), repurchases of our common stock of $2.6 million (63,088 shares), net adjustments totaling $2.6 million related to transactions under our stock-based compensation plans, and a net $2.3 million decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive gain. The net unfavorable change in accumulated other comprehensive gain was primarily due to a $2.2 million increase in the investment securities loss.

At March 31, 2026, our total risk-based capital ratio was 21.62%, compared to 21.45% at December 31, 2025 and 19.20% at March 31, 2025. Our common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 19.08%, 18.56%, and 16.08%, respectively, on these dates. Our leverage ratio was 11.65%, 11.77%, and 11.17%, respectively, on these dates. At March 31, 2026, all our regulatory capital ratios exceeded the thresholds to be designated as “well-capitalized” under the Basel III capital standards. Further, our tangible common equity ratio (non-GAAP financial measure) was 10.79% at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, compared to 9.61% at March 31, 2025. If our unrealized held-to-maturity securities loss of $7.2 million (after-tax) were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, our adjusted tangible capital ratio would be 10.62%.
