Small Business Administration lending and other government guaranteed lending is an important part of our business. Our government guaranteed lending programs are dependent upon the U.S. federal government, and we face specific risks associated with originating SBA and other government guaranteed loans.
Our SBA lending program is dependent upon the U.S. federal government. As an approved participant in the SBA Preferred Lender’s Program (an "SBA Preferred Lender"), we enable our customers to obtain SBA loans without being subject to the potentially lengthy SBA approval process necessary for lenders that are not SBA Preferred Lenders. The SBA periodically reviews the lending operations of participating lenders to assess, among other things, whether the lender exhibits prudent risk management. When weaknesses are identified, the SBA may request corrective actions or impose enforcement actions, including revocation of the lender’s SBA Preferred Lender status. If we lose our status as an SBA Preferred Lender, we may lose some or all of our customers to lenders who are SBA Preferred Lenders, and as a result we could experience a material adverse effect to our financial results. Any changes to the SBA program, changes to program-specific rules impacting volume eligibility under the guaranty program, as well as changes to the program amounts authorized by Congress, may also have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, any default by the U.S. government on its obligations or any prolonged government shutdown could impede our ability to originate SBA loans or other government guaranteed loans or sell such loans in the secondary market, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Generally, we sell the guaranteed portion of our SBA 7(a) loans in the secondary market. These sales result in premium income for us at the time of sale and create a stream of future servicing income, as we retain the servicing rights to these loans. For the reasons described above, we may not be able to continue originating these loans or sell them in the secondary market. Furthermore, even if we are able to continue to originate and sell SBA 7(a) loans in the secondary market, we might not continue to realize premiums upon the sale of the guaranteed portion of these loans, or the premiums may decline due to economic and competitive factors. When we originate SBA loans, we incur credit risk on the non-guaranteed portion of the loans, and if a customer defaults on a loan, we share any loss and recovery related to the loan pro-rata with the SBA. If the SBA establishes that a loss on an SBA guaranteed loan is attributable to significant technical deficiencies in the manner in which the loan was originated, funded, or serviced by us, the SBA may seek recovery of the principal loss related to the deficiency from us. Generally, we do not maintain reserves or loss allowances for such potential claims and any such claims could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
The laws, regulations and standard operating procedures that are applicable to government guaranteed loan products may change in the future, particularly in light of the changes being made and scrutiny being given to government funded programs under the current U.S. presidential administration. We cannot predict the effects of these changes on our business and profitability. Because government regulation greatly affects the business and financial results of all commercial banks and bank holding companies and especially our organization, changes in the laws, regulations and procedures applicable to government guaranteed loans could adversely affect our ability to operate profitably.
Reputational risk and social factors may negatively affect us.
Our ability to attract and retain customers is highly dependent upon other external perceptions of our business practices and financial condition. Adverse perceptions could damage our reputation to a level that could lead to difficulties in generating and maintaining lending and deposit relationships and accessing equity or credit markets, as well as increased regulatory scrutiny of our business. Adverse developments or perceptions regarding the business practices or financial condition of our competitors, or our industry as a whole, may also indirectly adversely affect our reputation.
In addition, adverse reputational developments with respect to third parties with whom we have important relationships may negatively affect our reputation. All of the above factors may result in greater regulatory and/or legislative scrutiny, which may lead to laws or regulations that may change or constrain the manner in which we engage with our customers and the products we offer and may also increase our litigation risk. If these risks were to materialize, they could negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Societal, legislative and regulatory responses to environmental, social and governance (ESG) concerns, and anti ESGanti-ESG concerns, as well as diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and anti-DEI concerns, could adversely affect our business and performance, including indirectly through impacts on our customers.
Our business depends on our ability to successfully manage credit risk.
The operation of our business requires us to manage credit risk. As a lender, we are exposed to the risk that our borrowers may be unable to repay their loans according to their terms, and that the collateral securing repayment of their loans, if any, may not be sufficient to ensure repayment. In addition, there are risks inherent in making any loan, including risks with respect to the period of time over which the loan may be repaid, risks relating to proper underwriting, risks resulting from changes in economic and industry conditions and risks inherent in dealing with individual borrowers, including the risk that a borrower may not provide information to us about its business in a timely manner, and/or may present inaccurate or incomplete information to us, and risks relating to the value of collateral. In order to manage credit risk successfully, we must, among other things, maintain disciplined and prudent underwriting standards. The weakening of these standards for any reason, a lack of discipline or diligence in underwriting and monitoring loans, the inability to adequately adapt policies and procedures to changes in economic or any other conditions affecting borrowers and the quality of our loan portfolio, may result in defaults, foreclosures and additional charge-offs and may necessitate that we significantly increase our allowance for credit losses, each of which could adversely affect our net income. As a result, our inability to successfully manage credit risk could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Our commercial loans totaled $3.3$2.9 billion, or 80.2%78.4% of our total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2024.2025. These loans generally involve higher credit risks than residential real estate loans and are dependent upon our lenders and service providers maintaining close relationships with the borrowers. Payments on these loans are often dependent upon the successful operation and management of the underlying business or assets, and repayment of such loans may be influenced to a great extent by conditions in the market or the economy. Commercial loans typically involve larger loan balances than residential real estate loans and could lead to concentration risks within our commercial loan portfolio. In addition, our C&I, healthcare finance, franchisespecialty finance and small business loans have primarily been extended to small to medium-sized businesses that generally have fewer financial resources in terms of capital or borrowing capacity than larger entities. Our failure to manage this commercial loan growth and the related risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Portions of our commercial lending activities are geographically concentrated in Central Indiana and adjacent markets, and changes in local economic conditions may impact their performance.
We offer our consumer lending as well as construction, investor CRE, public finance, healthcare finance, franchise finance, small business lending and single tenant financing products and services throughout the United States. However, we serve C&I and certain CRE borrowers primarily in Central Indiana and adjacent markets. Accordingly, the performance of our CRE and C&I lending depends upon demographic and economic conditions in those regions. The profitability of our CRE and C&I loan portfolio may be impacted by changes in those conditions. Additionally, unfavorable local economic conditions could reduce or limit the growth rate of our CRE and C&I loan portfolios for a significant period of time, or otherwise decrease the ability of those borrowers to repay their loans, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
At December 31, 2024,2025, approximately 49.8% of our loans held for investment portfolio was comprised of commercial, residential mortgage and home equity loans with real estate as the primary component of collateral. Our real estate lending activities, and our exposure to fluctuations in real estate collateral values, are significant and may increase as our assets increase. The market value of real estate can fluctuate significantly in a relatively short period of time as a result of market conditions in the geographic area in which the real estate is located; in response to factors such as economic downturns and changes in the economic health of industries heavily concentrated in a particular area; and in response to changes in market interest rates, which influence capitalization rates used to value revenue-generating commercial real estate. If the value of real estate serving as collateral for our loans declines materially, a significant part of our loan portfolio could become under-collateralized and losses incurred upon borrower defaults would increase. Conditions in certain segments of the real estate industry, including homebuilding, lot development and mortgage lending, may have an effect on values of real estate pledged as collateral for our loans. The inability of purchasers of real estate, including residential real estate, to obtain financing may weaken the financial condition of our borrowers who are dependent on the sale or refinancing of property to repay their loans. Changes in the economic health of certain industries can have a significant impact on other sectors or industries which are directly or indirectly associated with those industries, and may impact the value of real estate in areas where such industries are concentrated.

The Company’s earnings depend substantially on the Company’s interest rate spread, which is the difference between (i) the rates the Bank earns on loans, securities, and other earning assets and (ii) the interest rates the Bank pays on deposits and other borrowings, and its costs of capital. These rates are highly sensitive to many factors beyond the Company’s control, including general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities. If market interest rates rise, especially at the pace they did in 2022 and 2023, the Company will face competitive pressure to increase the rates the Bank pays on deposits, which could negatively affect net interest margin. In addition, the interest rate on the Company’s other subordinated debt have, and are scheduled to change in 2025 and 2026, from fixed to floating rates. These changes could result in a decrease of net interest income. If market interest rates decline, the Bank could experience fixed-rate loan prepayments and higher investment portfolio cash flows, resulting in a lower reinvestment yield on earning assets. Earnings can also be impacted by the spread between short-term and long-term market interest rates.
As a part of our liquidity management, we use a number of funding sources in addition to core deposit growth and repayments and maturities of loans and investments. These sources include brokered deposits and FHLB advances. Further, in the past, we have raised additional capital in the public debt and equity markets to support balance sheet growth, refinance existing debt obligations, or explore strategic alternatives which may include additional asset, deposit or revenue generation channels. Our ability to source deposits and raise future capital, if needed, will depend upon our financial performance and conditions in the capital markets, as well as economic conditions generally. Further, if we need to raise capital in the future, we may have to do so when many other financial institutions are also seeking to raise capital and would then have to compete with those institutions for investors. Accordingly, such financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The recognition of gains on the sale of loans and servicing asset valuations reflect certain assumptions.
We continue to expect that gains on the sale of U.S. government guaranteed loans will continue to comprise a significant component of our revenue. The determination of these gains is based on assumptions regarding the value of unguaranteed loans retained, servicing rights retained and deferred fees and costs, and net premiums paid by purchasers of the guaranteed portions of U.S. government guaranteed loans. The value of retained unguaranteed loans and servicing rights are determined based on market-derived factors such as prepayment rates, current market conditions and recent loan sales. Deferred fees and costs are determined using internal analysis of the cost to originate loans. Significant errors in assumptions used to compute gains on sale of loans or servicing asset valuations could result in material revenue misstatements, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and profitability. In addition, if such valuations are not reflective of fair market value, then our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.
The Bank conducts its deposit gathering activities and a significant portion of its lending activities through digital channels. The financial services industry is undergoing rapid technological change, and we face constant evolution of customer demand for technology-driven financial and banking products and services. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvement and product development, marketing and implementation. Any failure to successfully keep pace with and fund technological innovation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As a financial institution, we are inherently exposed to risk in the form of theft and other fraudulent activities by customers, employees, or other third parties targeting us or our customers or data. Such activity may take many forms, including check fraud, electronic fraud, wire fraud, phishing, social engineering, spoofing, and other dishonest acts. Although we devote substantial resources to maintaining effective policies and internal controls to identify and prevent such incidents, given the increasing sophistication of possible perpetrators, we may experience financial losses or reputational harm as a result of fraud. Further, as a result of the increased sophistication of fraud activity, we continue to invest in systems, resources, and controls to detect and prevent fraud. This will result in continued ongoing investments inand the future.costs.
Federal and state regulators periodically examine our businessbusiness, and we may be required to remediate adverse examination findings.
The BSA, the USA PATRIOT Act and other laws and regulations require financial institutions, among other duties, to institute and maintain an effective anti-money laundering program and file suspicious activity and currency transaction reports as appropriate. The federal Financial Crimes Enforcement Network is authorized to impose significant civil money penalties for violations of those requirements and has engaged in coordinated enforcement efforts with the individual federal banking regulators, as well as the U.S. Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration and Internal Revenue Service. We are also subject to increased scrutiny of compliance with the rules enforced by the OFAC. If our policies, procedures and systems are deemed deficient, we would be subject to liability, including fines and regulatory actions, which may include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends and the necessity to obtain regulatory approvals to proceed with certain aspects of our business plan, including our acquisition plans. Failure to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist financing could also have serious reputational consequences for us. Any of these results could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company closed on the sale of $851.2 million of single tenant lease financing loans recognizing a pre-tax loss of $38.2 million on the transaction. The transaction was executed as part of an initiative to strengthen the Company’s regulatory capital ratios and improve its interest rate risk position. While the loss on the transaction negatively impacted shareholders’ equity and regulatory capital, the transaction significantly reduced risk-weighted assets, resulting in a net positive effect on regulatory capital ratios. Furthermore, the loan sale reduced the Company’s interest rate risk profile by reducing exposure to longer-duration assets. Additionally, the Company expects the transaction to have a beneficial impact on key profitability metrics, such as net interest margin and return on average assets, in future periods.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, return on average assets (“ROAA”), return on average equity (“ROAE”) and return on average tangible common equity (“ROATCE”) were 0.46%, 6.70% and 6.78%, respectively. The Company recognized gains of $2.9 million from termination of interest rate swap agreements and $1.8 million from prepayment of FHLB advances as well as expenses of $0.5 million in IT termination fees and $0.1 million in anniversary expenses. Adjusted net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, was $22.0 million, and adjusted diluted earnings per share was $2.51. Additionally, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, adjusted ROAA, adjusted ROAE and adjusted ROATCE were 0.40%, 5.83% and 5.90%, respectively.
Due to the steep decline in consumer mortgage volumes and the negative outlook for consumer mortgage lending, the Company decided to exit its consumer mortgage business during the first quarter 2023. This included its nationwide digital direct-to-consumer mortgage platform that originated residential loans for sale in the secondary market, as well as its local traditional consumer mortgage and construction-to-permanent business. In connection with this decision, the Company recognized $3.1 million of mortgage operations and exit costs during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The Company also recognized $0.1 million of mortgage banking revenue during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.
Additionally, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized a $6.9 million partial charge-off related to a commercial and industrial participation loan with a balance of $9.8 million, prior to the partial charge-off, that was moved to nonaccrual status late in the first quarter 2023. The Company received payment for the remaining balance of the participation loan during 2023.
The decrease in net income of $27.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 was due primarily to a decrease of $22.2 million, or 22.9%, in net interest income, an increase of $11.7 million, or 234.6%, in provision for loan losses and an increase of $6.2 million, or 8.4%, in noninterest expense, partially offset by a decrease of $8.0 million, or 176.3%, in income tax expense and an increase of $4.9 million, or 22.9%, in noninterest income.

The growth in total interest income was due primarily to an increase in interest earned on loansloans, resulting from an increase of 6330 bps in the yield earned on loans, as well as an increase of $311.7$225.7 million, or 8.5%,5.6%, in the average balance of loans, including loans held-for-sale. Additionally, the average balance of securities increased $146.7$149.0 million, or 23.5%,19.3%, and the yield earned on the securities portfolio increased 6413 bps.

The increase in total interest expense was due primarily to an increase of $25.6 million, or 244.6%, in interest expense associated with interest-bearing demand deposits, partially offset by decreases of $8.7 million, or 7.5%, in interest expense associated with certificates and brokered deposits, $5.6 million, or 10.9%, in interest expense associated with money market accounts and $3.4 million, or 15.7%, in interest expense associated with other borrowed funds. When combined with deposits formerly classified as fintech - brokered deposits, the increase in interest expense related to interest-bearing demand deposits was due primarily to a 378 bp increase in the cost of these deposits, as well as an increase of $516.3 million, or 81.2%, in the average balance of these deposits. The decrease in interest expense related to certificates and brokered deposits was driven by a 39 bp decline in cost of these deposits, partially offset by a slight increase in the average balance of these deposits. The decrease in the cost of funds was due to the combination of lower rates on new certificates of deposit production and using on-balance sheet liquidity to paydown higher-cost brokered deposits as they matured. The decrease in interest expense related to money market accounts was driven primarily by a decrease of 49 bps in the cost of these deposits, partially offset by a slight increase in the average balance of these deposits. The decrease in the cost of funds was due to the impact of decreases in the Fed Funds rate late in 2024 and in the second half of 2025. The decrease in interest expense related to other borrowed funds was driven by a decrease in the average balance of $207.2 million, or 32.9%, partially offset by an 87 bp increase in the cost of these funds. The decrease in the average balance of other borrowed funds was driven primarily by the early paydown of Federal Home Loan Bank advances late in 2024 as the Company deployed excess on-balance liquidity to reduce the size of the balance sheet and lower interest expense in future periods. The increase in the cost of the funds was due mainly to the cost of one issuance of subordinated debt repricing higher as its fixed-rate term expired in the third quarter of 2024 and converted to variable rate.
The increase in total interest expense was due primarily to increases of $29.8 million, or 34.8%, in interest expense associated with certificates and brokered deposits, $4.6 million, or 329.6%, in interest expense associated with fintech - brokered deposits and $4.3 million, or 68.9%, in interest expense associated with interest-bearing demand deposits. The increase in interest expense related to certificates and brokered deposits was driven by an increase of 55 bps in the cost of these deposits, as well as an increase of $390.2 million, or 19.1%, in the average balance of these deposits. The increase in the average balance of these deposits was driven by strong consumer and small business demand for certificates of deposits in 2024, partially offset by lower brokered deposit balances, as the Company used on-balance sheet liquidity to pay down higher-cost balances throughout 2024. The increase in interest expense related to fintech - brokered deposits was driven primarily by an increase of $108.8 million, or 329.6%, in the average balance of these deposits. The balance of these deposits is driven by payments volume associated with one of the Company’s fintech partnerships, which increased significantly year-over-year. The increase in interest expense related to interest-bearing demand deposits was due primarily to a 42 bp increase in the cost of these deposits, as well as an increase of $128.0 million, or 35.0%, in the average balance of these deposits. The increase in the average balance of these deposits was due to growth in deposit activity from certain fintech partnerships. The increase in the cost of funds across all of these deposit types reflects the impact of the elevated interest rate environment throughout 2024.

The decline in adjusted noninterest income of $1.7 million, or 3.9%, was due primarily to a decrease of $3.4 million, or 10.2%, in gain on sale of loans, partially offset by an increase of $1.7 million in other noninterest income. During 2025, the Company recognized $29.4 million in gain of sales of U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) 7(a) guaranteed loans compared to $33.2 million in 2024. The decrease was due mainly to a decrease in sold loan volume as the Company implemented a process change in the second quarter 2025 to hold SBA loans held-for-sale longer before selling into the secondary market. This process change had a one quarter effect as gain on sale revenue reverted to normalized levels in the third quarter 2025. The increase in other noninterest income was primarily driven by higher fintech partnership revenue resulting from increased program management fees and higher payments volume.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, noninterest income totaled $47.3 million, representing an increase of $21.2 million, or 81.2%, compared to $26.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in noninterest income was driven primarily by increases of $12.8 million in gain on sale of loans, $7.1 million in other income and $1.3 million in net loan servicing revenue. The increase in gain on sale of loans was due primarily to an increase of 48.8% in the volume of SBA 7(a) guaranteed loan sales as well as an increase of 83 bps to 108.17% in net gain on sale premium for the year. The increase in other income was due primarily to distributions from fund investments, as well as a gain on termination of interest rate swaps of $2.9 million and a gain on prepayment of FHLB advances of $1.8 million. The increase in net loan servicing revenue was due to growth in the balance of the Company’s SBA 7(a) servicing portfolio, partially offset by the fair value adjustment to the loan servicing asset.
Noninterest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was $95.0 million, representing an increase of $4.9 million or 5.5%, compared to $90.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. Excluding the IT termination fees of $0.5 million and anniversary expenses of $0.1 million, adjusted noninterest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 was $89.5 million.
The decline in adjusted noninterest expense of $5.5 million, or 6.1%, was due primarily to increases of $2.2 million, or 19.4%, in premises and equipment, $1.4 million, or 21.9%, in other noninterest expense and $1.1 million, or 22.2%, in deposit insurance premium. The increase in premises and equipment was driven by higher software maintenance costs. The increase in other noninterest expense was due mainly to higher fintech volume activity and the increase in deposit insurance premium was due to changes in the composition of the loan portfolio.
Noninterest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 was $90.1 million, representing an increase of $10.7, or 13.4%, compared to $79.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.

The increase in salaries and employee benefits was due primarily to higher small business lending incentive compensation and staff additions in small business lending and risk management, as well as higher incentive compensation accruals based on the increase in net income in 2024. The increase in premises and equipment was due primarily to non-recurring IT termination fees, property taxes and software maintenance expense. The increase in deposit insurance premium was due mainly to year-over-year asset growth and changes in the composition of the loan and deposit portfolios. The increase in other expenses was due primarily to various expenses, none of which were individually significant. The increase in consulting and professional fees was due primarily to increased consulting and audit fees.

The determination of the ACL and the related provision for credit losses are components of our significant accounting policies as discussed within Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements. The adequacy of the allowance for credit lossesACL and the provision are based on the review and evaluation of the loan portfolio and reflect management’s assessment of the risks and potential losses within the portfolio. This evaluation uses a discounted cash flow analysis based on historical loss data, reasonable and supportable forecasts and prepayment rates, as well as qualitative factors such as economic and business conditions, portfolio growth, concentrations of credit in the portfolio, trends in risk grades, delinquencies within the portfolio and changes in our lending policies and practices.
The ACL was $55.7 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $44.8 million as of December 31, 2024, compared to an ACL of $38.8 million as of December 31, 2023.2024.

In managing our investment securities portfolio, management focuses on providing an adequate level of liquidity and managing long-term interest rate risk, while earning an adequate level of investment income without taking undue credit risk. Investment securities that are acquired and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term with the objective of generating economic profits on short-term differences in market characteristics are classified as “trading securities.” We did not classify any securities as trading securities as of December 31, 20242025 and 2023.2024. Securities that we intend to hold until maturity are classified as “held-to-maturity” securities, and all other investment securities are classified as “available-for-sale.” The carrying values of available-for-sale investment securities are adjusted for unrealized gains or losses as a valuation allowance and any gain or loss is reported on an after-tax basis as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). income.
We periodically evaluate each security in an unrealized loss position to determine if there is an impairment.

The Company experienced strong growth in fintech partnership deposits during 2025, driving the increases in interest-bearing demand and noninterest-bearing deposits. The strong growth, combined with liquidity from the sale of the single tenant lease financing loans, provided the ability to pay down maturing higher-cost brokered deposits and certificates of deposit. Additionally, following the sale of the single tenant lease financing loans, the Company moved a significant amount of fintech partnership deposits off-balance sheet in order to manage the size of the balance sheet and improve profitability and balance sheet metrics.

Liquidity management is the process used by the Company to manage the continuing flow of funds necessary to meet its financial commitments on a timely basis and at a reasonable cost while also maintaining safe and sound operations. Liquidity, represented by cash and investment securities, is a product of the Company’s operating, investing and financing activities. The primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities, maturing loans and investment securities, access to wholesale funding sources and collateralized borrowings. While scheduled payments and maturities of loans and investment securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows are greatly influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. Therefore, the Company supplementsmay supplement deposit growth and enhancesenhance interest rate risk management through borrowings and wholesale funding, which are generally advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and brokered deposits.

This Management's Discussion and Analysis contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures, specifically tangible common equity, tangible assets, tangible book value per common share, tangible common equity to tangible assets, average tangible common equity, return on average tangible common equity, total interest income - FTE, net interest income - FTE, net interest margin - FTE, adjusted total revenue, pre-provision net revenue, adjusted pre-provision net revenue, adjusted noninterest income, adjusted noninterest expense, adjusted (loss) income before income taxes, adjusted income tax provision (benefit), provision, adjusted net (loss) income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average shareholders’ equity and adjusted return on average tangible common equity are used by the Company's management to measure the strength of its capital and analyze profitability, including its ability to generate earnings on tangible capital invested by its shareholders. The Company also believes that it is standard practice in the banking industry to present total interest income, net interest income and net interest margin on a fully-taxable equivalent basis, as those measures provide useful information for peer comparisons. Although the Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of its business, they should not be considered a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the following tables for the last three completed fiscal years ended on December 31.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Management believes the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting policy that requires the most significant judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. An estimate of potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio is determined and an allowance for those losses is established by considering factors including historical loss rates, expected cash flows, estimated collateral values, and other qualitative factors. The allowance for loan losses represents management’s best estimate of losses inherent in the existing loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses charged to expense and reduced by loans charged off, net of recoveries. Management evaluates the allowance for loan losses quarterly. If the underlying assumptions later prove to be inaccurate based on subsequent loss evaluations, the allowance for loan losses is adjusted.
Management estimates the appropriate level of allowance for loan losses by separately evaluating impaired and non-impaired loans. A specific allowance is assigned to an impaired loan when expected cash flows or collateral do not justify the carrying amount of the loan. The methodology used to assign an allowance to a non-impaired loan is more subjective. Generally, the allowance assigned to non-impaired loans is determined by applying historical loss rates to existing loans with similar risk characteristics, adjusted for qualitative factors including changes in economic and business conditions, unemployment rates, concentrations of credit, changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, terms of loans, risk grades, trends in charge-offs and recoveries, trends in delinquencies, nonaccrual loans, and impaired loans, and changes in lending policies and procedures. Because the economic and business climate in any given industry or market, and its impact on any given borrower, can change rapidly, the risk profile of the loan portfolio is periodically assessed and adjusted when appropriate. Notwithstanding these procedures, there still exists the possibility that the assessment could prove to be significantly incorrect and that an immediate adjustment to the allowance for loan losses would be required.
In the ordinary course of business, we may enter into financial transactions to extend credit, engage in interest rate swaps or other forms of commitments that may be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. Interest rate swaps were arranged to receive hedge accounting treatment and were classified as either fair value or cash flow hedges. Fair value hedges were purchased to convert certain fixed rate assets to floating rate. Cash flow hedges were used to convert certain variable rate liabilities into fixed rate liabilities. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had no interest rate swaps that were classified as either fair value or cash flow hedges. At December 31, 2023, we had interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $200.0 million. Refer to Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information about derivative financial instruments.

“Total assets increased $140.0 million, or 2.5%, to $5.7 billion at March 31, 2026 compared to $5.6 billion at December 31, 2025.

1 Yield on total interest-earning assets minus cost of total interest-bearing liabilities.
2 Net interest income divided by total average interest-earning assets (annualized).
3 On an FTE basis assuming a 21% tax rate. Net interest income is adjusted to reflect income from assets such as municipal loans and securities that are exempt from Federal income taxes. This is to recognize the income tax savings that facilitates a comparison between taxable and tax-exempt assets. The Company believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest margin and net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis, as these measures provide useful information to make peer comparisons. Net interest margin - FTE represents a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of this measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Liquidity management is the process used by the Company to manage the continuing flow of funds necessary to meet its financial commitments on a timely basis and at a reasonable cost while also maintaining safe and sound operations. Liquidity, represented by cash and investment securities, is a product of the Company’s operating, investing and financing activities. The primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities, maturing loans and investment securities, access to wholesale funding sources and collateralized borrowings. In addition, the Company may elect to hold certain deposit balances off-balance sheet, with optionality to bring them back onto the balance sheet as funding needs evolve. While scheduled payments and maturities of loans and investment securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows are greatly influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. Therefore, the Company may supplement deposit growth and enhancesenhance interest rate risk management through borrowings and wholesale funding, which are generally advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and brokered deposits.

The Company remains the issuer of, and maintains the records for, all accounts under the applicable account holder agreements and, importantly, retains transactional authority to move funds on-and-off balance sheet as liquidity needs merit. Such off-balance sheet deposits totaled $1.5$2.4 billion at MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and $1.1 billion at December 31, 2025 and primarily consist of fintech partnership deposits. The Company can also generate funds from wholesale funding sources and collateralized borrowings.
