Our success depends, to a certain extent, upon local, national and global economic and political conditions, as well as governmental monetary policies. Our financial performance generally, and in particular the ability of borrowers to pay interest on and repay principal of outstanding loans and the value of collateral securing the loans, as well as demand for loans and other products and services we offer, is highly dependent upon the business environment in the markets where we operate and the United States as a whole. A favorable business environment is generally characterized by, among other factors, economic growth, efficient capital markets, low inflation, low unemployment, high business and investor confidence, and strong business earnings. Unfavorable or uncertain economic and market conditions can be caused by a decline in economic growth both in the United States and internationally, declines in business activity or investor or business confidence, limitations on the availability of or increases to the cost of credit and capital, increases in inflation or interest rates, high unemployment, natural disasters, trade policies and tariffs, or a combination of these factors. Current economic conditions are being heavily impacted by recent inflationary conditions and higher interest rates, the effects of which may impact our profitability by negatively impacting our fixed costs and expenses. Economic and inflationary pressure on consumers and uncertainty regarding economic improvement could result in changes in consumer and business spending, borrowing, and savings habits. Such conditions could have a material adverse effect on the credit quality of our loans and our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our investment securities portfolio as a whole is exposed to credit risk associated with rating agency downgrades and defaults of the issuers of those securities. We measure expected credit losses on our investment portfolio through our current expected credit loss (“CECL”) estimate. Increases to the provision for credit losses would have a negative impact on our results of operations and regulatory capital ratios. Additionally, an insufficient CECL provision may result in additional losses that would have an adverse impact on our results of operations. The investment portfolio’s performance, including the existence of unrealized and unrecognized losses in the portfolio, also may create reputational risk for us, particularly in conjunction with the conditions of the banking industry generally, that could result in deposit outflows or reduced access to funding, or negatively impact our ability to attract and retain prospective customers.
Moreover, we are considered a “user” of consumer reports provided by consumer reporting agencies under the FCRA,Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”), as amended by the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. FCRA regulates and protects consumer information collected by consumer reporting agencies and imposes specific obligations on “users” of consumer reports. Such obligations may include restricting the sharing of information contained in a consumer report, notifying consumers when such reports are used to make an adverse decision, and, in the context of completing employee background checks, providing a notice containing certain disclosures to the consumer and obtaining their consent.

During the third quarter and after the Federal Reserve’s announcement that rates would be reduced by 50 basis points, management made the strategic decision to lock in borrowing costs by placing $90.0 million in FHLB advances with maturities of 12- and 18-months at a weighted average rate of 3.89%. Of this amount, $41.1 million was utilized to prepay the principal and accrued interest of the BTFP borrowings at a rate of 4.87% that was scheduled to mature in January of 2025 and approximately $30.0 million was utilized to repay overnight borrowings related to the repayment of the $40.0 million FHLB advance that matured in September at a rate of 4.53%. The remainder was used to fund loan growth in the fourth quarter of 2024.
As indicated below, the total interest-earning asset mix remained relatively constant at December 31, 20242025 aswhen compared to December 31, 2023.2024. The mix for each year is illustrated below.
Outstanding gross loans of $1.5 billion at December 31, 20242025 reflected growth of $74.1$40.9 million in 2024.2025. Since December 31, 2023,2024, commercial real estate loans increased by $32.7$44.4 million, acquisition and development loans increaseddecreased by $18.2$5.0 million,million as construction projects were completed and rolled into permanent financing, commercial and industrial loans increaseddecreased by $12.9$10.5 million, residential mortgage loans increased $18.9by $18.1 million, and consumer loans decreased by $8.6$6.1 million.million as production continued to be outpaced by amortization. Commercial growth was offset during 2025 by unusually high payoffs as a result of clients utilizing cash to repay or consolidate debt.
New commercial loan production for the year ended December 31, 20242025 was approximately $247.0 million, which compares to $189.5 million.million Thefor pipelinethe ofyear commercial loans as ofended December 31, 20242024. wasThe commercial pipeline continued to be strong at December 31, 2025 at $61.0 million, and unfunded, commercial construction loans totaled approximately $11.5$46.5 million. Commercial amortization and payoffs were approximately $114.1$170.5 million throughfor the year ended December 31, 2024 due primarily to pay-offs of short-term commercial loans as well as normal amortizations of the commercial loan portfolio.2025.
New residential mortgage loan production for year ended December 31, 20242025 was approximately $73.5$76.7 million, with most of this production comprised of in-house loans. The pipeline of in-house, portfolio loans as ofat December 31, 20242025 was $5.3$4.5 million. TheUnfunded commitments related to residential mortgageconstruction productionloans leveltotaled declined$14.5 inmillion theat fourthDecember quarter31, of 2024 due to the increasing interest rates and seasonality of this line of business.2025.
Accruing loans past due 30 days or more was 0.32% at both December 31, 2025 and 2024. Non-accrual loans totaled $4.2 million at December 31, 2025 compared to $4.9 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease in non-accrual balances at December 31, 2025 was due to principal paydowns and the charge-off of $0.6 million related to a non-accrual commercial and industrial relationship that was recorded during the second half of 2025.
Individually evaluated loans totaled $19.6 million at December 31, 2025 and $4.4 million at December 31, 2024. This increase primarily relates to one credit relationship in our commercial and industrial portfolio that is in the automotive dealership industry. While the credit was not past-due or non-accrual, it was not meeting the contractual terms of the loan agreement; therefore, management felt it was prudent to designate the credit as individually evaluated at December 31, 2025. A $0.4 million specific reserve within the ACL was calculated against the credit using discounted cash flows at December 31, 2025.
A loan that is considered a non-accrual or modified loan may be subject to the individually evaluated loan analysis if the commitment is $0.1 million$100,000 or greater; otherwise, the modified loan remains in the appropriate segment in the ACL model and associated reserves are adjusted based on changes in the discounted cash flows resulting from the modification of the modified loan.flows. For a discussion with respect to reserve calculations regarding individually evaluated loans, refer to the “NonrecurringIndividually Loansevaluated loans” section in Note 17, Fair Value of Financial Instruments.
From time to time, we may modify certain loans to borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulty. In some cases, these modifications may result in new loans. Loan modifications to borrowers may be in the form of a principal forgiveness, an interest rate reduction, an other-than-insignificant payment delay, a term extension, or a combination thereof, among other things. The below table shows details of loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty at December 31, 2024:
The below table presents the amortized cost basis of loans that were both experiencing financial difficulty and modified during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, by class and by type of modification. The percentage of the amortized cost basis of loans that were modified to borrowers in financial distress as compared to the amortized cost basis of each class of financing receivable is also presented below:
All loans presented in the table above were performing in accordance with their modified terms at December 31, 2025 and 2024.
All loans presented in the table above were performing in accordance with their modified terms at December 31, 2024 Effective January 1, 2023, we adopted the accounting guidance in FASB’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments- Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, universally referred to as CECL. In connection with our adoption of ASU 2016-13, we made changes to our loan portfolio segments to align with the methodology of CECL. Refer to Note 5, Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses, for further discussion of these portfolio segments. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 resulted in a Day 1 adjustment of $2.9 million to our ACL, including an increase of $2.0 million to the ACL for loans and $0.9 million to the ACL for unfunded commitments. The Corporation recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $2.2 million as of January 1, 2023 for the cumulative effect of adopting ASU 2016-13.
The ACL was $19.5 million at December 31, 2025 compared to $18.2 million at December 31, 2024 compared to $17.5 million at December 31, 2023.2024.

Accruing loans past due 30 days or more was 0.32% at December 31, 2024 compared to 0.24% at December 31, 2023. Non-accrual loans totaled $4.9 million at December 31, 2024 compared to $4.0 million at December 31, 2023. The increase in non-accrual balances at December 31, 2024 related to two commercial and industrial loan relationships totaling $12.1 million that were moved to non-accrual during the first quarter of 2024. Subsequent to being moved to non-accrual, one of the borrowers liquidated collateral and reduced the balances by $5.5 million. Additionally, a total of $2.8 million in collateral was moved to repossessed assets in the fourth quarter of 2024. We recognized $1.3 million in net charge-offs and $3.0 million in principal reductions on the other commercial credit during 2024 related to the liquidation of collateral at depressed prices. The Bank continues to liquidate collateral on both loan relationships.
The total fair value of AFS securities was $94.5$107.1 million and the book value of HTM securities totaled $175.6$171.5 million at December 31, 2024,2025, representing an increase of $12.7 million and a decrease of $2.7 million and $38.8$4.1 million, respectively, since December 31, 2023. In 2024, $37.5 million in U.S. Treasury bonds matured and the proceeds were used to repay the $40.0 million FHLB advance that matured in March. Additionally, there were $15.0 million in maturities, calls, and principal paydowns in the portfolio.2024. New investment purchases in the amount of $11.2$24.6 million were made during 20242025 to enhance the overall yield of the portfolio. Management intends to hold the portfolio relatively stable in 20252026 by reinvesting cashflows back into the portfolio to enhance the overall yield of the portfolio. The investment portfolio is primarily utilized for liquidity purposes, management of interest sensitivity and collateralization needs.
Approximately $79.8$91.1 million of the AFS portfolio was valued using Level 2 pricing and had net unrealized losses of $17.7$13.9 million at December 31, 2024.2025. The remaining $14.7$16.0 million of the AFS securities represents the collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) portfolio, which was valued using significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 pricing. The $4.0$2.8 million in net unrealized losses associated with the CDO portfolio relates to nine pooled trust preferred securities. There have been no changes to the ratings or payment status of the CDO portfolio in 2025.
Total deposits at December 31, 2025 increased by $160.3 million when compared to December 31, 2024. In January 2025, $50.0 million in brokered time deposits with an average interest rate of 4.24% were obtained to fund the repayment of $50.0 million in overnight borrowings that were outstanding on December 31, 2024. Savings and money market accounts increased by $70.2 million due primarily to the expansion of current and new relationships throughout 2025. Non-interest-bearing checking deposits increased by $26.3 million due primarily to seasonal fluctuations of deposit balances of two commercial customers in the healthcare sector, and interest-bearing checking deposits increased by $6.0 million as we experienced seasonal fluctuations in municipal and commercial account balances. Retail time deposits increased by $7.8 million since December 31, 2024. We repaid a $25.0 million brokered time deposit at its maturity in January 2026.
Total deposits at December 31, 2024 increased by $23.9 million when compared to December 31, 2023. Interest-bearing demand deposits increased by $35.9 million in 2024, which included the shift of approximately $22.0 million from overnight investment sweep balances to FDIC insured accounts due to management’s strategy to release pledging of investment securities for municipalities to provide additional liquidity. Money market accounts increased by $61.5 million due primarily to the expansion of current and new relationships throughout the year and a shift from certificates of deposit. Traditional savings accounts decreased by $20.3 million and time deposits decreased by $52.4 million. The decrease in time deposits was due to a decrease of $22.4 million in retail CDs related to maturities of a nine-month special CD promotion in 2023 and the maturity and repayment of $30.0 million in brokered CDs during the year. The Bank has worked closely with customers as these retail CDs mature to transition them to other deposit and wealth management products offered by the Bank.
Short-term borrowings decreased by $47.7 million as a result of the purchase of $50.0 million brokered time deposits to repay the overnight borrowings, which was partially offset by increases in the overnight investment sweep product. Long-term borrowings decreased by $25.0 million due to the repayment of a matured $25.0 million FHLB borrowing in September 2025.
Short-term borrowings increased by $20.0 million when compared to December 31, 2023 due to an increase of $50.0 million in overnight borrowings from the Federal Reserve, offset by a shift of approximately $22.0 million in overnight investment sweep balances into FDIC insured accounts due to management’s strategy to release pledging of investment securities for municipalities to provide additional liquidity. The overnight borrowings were replaced with brokered certificates of deposit in January 2025. Long-term borrowings increased by $10.0 million when compared to December 31, 2023. Maturities of FHLB advances of $40.0 million in March and $40.0 million in September were fully repaid. During the third quarter and after the Federal Reserve’s announcement that rates would be reduced by 50 basis points, management made the strategic decision to lock in borrowing costs by placing $90.0 million in FHLB advances with maturities of 12- and 18-months and a weighted average rate of 3.89%. Of this amount, $41.1 million was utilized to prepay the principal and accrued interest of the BTFP borrowing at a rate of 4.87% that was scheduled to mature in January of 2025 and approximately $30.0 million was utilized to repay overnight borrowings related to the repayment of the September $40.0 million maturity at a rate of 4.53%.

The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was 3.89% compared to 3.61% for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Notes:
Net interest income, on a non-GAAP, FTE basis, increased by $2.1$1.9 million for the firstsecond quarter of 2026 when compared to the firstsecond quarter of 2025. This increase was driven by an increase of $1.7$1.3 million in interest income.

The following tabletables setsset forth an analysis of volume and rate changes in interest income and interest expense for our average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities for the six- and three-month periods ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025:
Note: The change in interest income/expense due to both volume and rate has been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.
Specific allocations have been made for loans where management has determined that the collateral supporting the loans is not adequate to cover the loan balance, and the qualitative factors affecting the estimated allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) have been adjusted based on the current economic environment and the characteristics of the loan portfolio. The provision for credit losses was $0.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to $0.9 million for the quarter ended MarchJune 31,30, 20262025. comparedProvision tofor $0.7credit losses was $1.7 million and $1.5 million for the quarterfirst endedsix Marchmonths 31,of 2025.2026 and 2025, respectively.

In reporting interim financial information, income tax provisions should be determined under the procedures set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, Income Taxes (Section 740-270-30). This guidance provides that at the end of each interim period, an entity should make its best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. The rate so determined should be used in providing for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis. The effective tax rate should reflect anticipated investment tax credits, capital gains rates, and other available tax planning alternatives. In arriving at this effective tax rate, however, no effect should be included for the tax related to significant, unusual or extraordinary items that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effect in reports for the interim period or for the fiscal year. The effective income tax rates, as a percentage of income, for the three-monthsix-month periods ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 were both24.1% 24.6%.and 24.7%, respectively.
The following table sets forth certain selected financial data for the six- and three-month periods ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 under GAAP (as reported) and non-GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are required to be disclosed in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the United States. Management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with a greater understanding of the Corporation’s operating results in addition to the results measured in accordance with GAAP. While management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Corporation’s performance, this information should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP or considered to be more important than financial results determined in accordance with GAAP.

The ACL “base case” model is derived from various economic forecasts provided by widely recognized sources. Management evaluates the variability of market conditions by examining the peak and trough of economic cycles. These peaks and troughs are used to stress the base case model to develop a range of potential outcomes. Management then determines the appropriate reserve through an evaluation of these various outcomes relative to current economic conditions and known risks in the portfolio. For the three-monthsix-month period ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the range of outcomes would produce a 26%16% reduction or a 44%43% increase in reserves based on the best-case and worst-case scenarios, respectively.

At MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we were asset sensitive.
NII modeling allows management to view how changes in interest rates will affect the spread between the yield paidearned on assets and the cost of deposits and borrowed funds. Unlike traditional Gap modeling, NII modeling takes into account the different degree to which installments in the same repricing period will adjust to a change in interest rates. It also allows the use of different assumptions in a falling versus a rising rate environment. The period considered by the NII modeling is the next eight quarters.
NPV / EVE modeling focuses on the change in the market value of equity. NPV / EVE is defined as the market value of assets less the market value of liabilities plus/minus the market value of any off-balance sheet positions. By effectively looking at the present value of all future cash flows on or off the balance sheet, NPV / EVE modeling takes a longer-term view of interest rate risk. This complements the shorter-term view of the NII modeling.
Based on the simulation analysis performed at MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, management estimated the following changes in net interest income, assuming the indicated rate changes:
The Corporation became slightly moreless asset sensitive as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 when compared to December 31, 2025 as a result of increased reductions of liabilities related to theovernight repaymentborrowings ofat theJune brokered30, CD and FHLB borrowings.2026. All changes in net interest income from our simulation analysis remain within our policy limits.
This estimate is based on assumptions that may be affected by unforeseeable changes in the general interest rate environment and any number of unforeseeable factors. Rates on different assets and liabilities within a single maturity category adjust to changes in interest rates to varying degrees and over varying periods of time. The relationshipsrelationship between lending rates and rates paid on purchased funds are not constant over time. Management can respond to current or anticipated market conditions by lengthening or shortening the Bank’s sensitivity through loan repricings or changing its funding mix. The rate of growth in interest-free sources of funds will influence the level of interest-sensitive funding sources. In addition, the absolute level of interest rates will affect the volume of earning assets and funding sources. As a result of these limitations, the interest-sensitive gap is only one factor to be considered in estimating the net interest margin.
As of both MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Bank was considered “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.
