The Company continued to enhance net interest income and net interest margin ("NIM") during the third quarter of 2026. The Company recorded net interest income of $114.8 million for the current quarter, compared to $111.3 million for the linked quarter and $102.5 million for the like quarter. NIM for the third quarter of 2026 expanded to 3.75% from 3.71% for the linked quarter and 3.46% for the like quarter.
Noninterest expenses were $64.0 million for the third quarter of 2026, up from $62.8 million for the linked quarter, and $60.2 million for the like quarter. Merger and acquisition expenses of $0.5 million were recognized during the third quarter of 2026 related to the pending Carolina Bank acquisition.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2026 was $114.8 million, an increase of 3.2% from the linked quarter of $111.3 million and an increase of 12.0% from the like quarter of $102.5 million. The increase in net interest income from the linked and like quarters resulted from additional loan volume and increasing loan yield through originations as well as one additional earning day compared to the linked quarter. For the linked quarter, the cost of deposits increased 0.04% partially a result of the rate increase during the quarter by the Federal Reserve.
The Company's NIM for the third quarter of 2026 was 3.75%, an increase of 4 basis points from the linked quarter and 29 basis points from the like quarter.
The linked quarter expansion of NIM was driven by a $152.6 million increase in average loans along with an 8 basis points expansion in loan yield. Additionally, taxable securities contributed an additional $1.0 million from increased balances and higher yields. Offsetting these increases, the cost of interest bearing deposits increased 7 basis points on growth of $83.5 million in average balances. Driving these increases, the average balance of money market deposits increased $135.2 million while the cost of those deposits increased 7 basis points.
The like quarter expansion of NIM was driven by growth of $751.5 million in average loans, coupled with a 6 basis point yield increase as well as the cost of interest bearing deposits decreasing 17 basis points. The Company shifted its mix of interest-earning assets to higher yielding assets from the like quarter, with loans increasing from 70.4% of average interest-earning assets to 74.3% in the current quarter, while securities contracted from 24.8% of average interest-earning assets to 22.5% and short-term investments contracted from 4.8% of average interest-earning assets to 3.1% .

The tax-equivalent amount reflects the tax benefit that the Company receives related to its tax-exempt loans and securities, which carry interest rates lower than similar taxable investments due to their tax-exempt status. This amount has been computed using the expected tax rate and is reduced by the related nondeductible portion of interest expense. |

Provision for Credit Losses and Credit Quality
For the three months ended September 30, 2026, June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, the Company recorded $1.3 million, $1.2 million and $3.4 million in provision for credit losses, respectively. The provision for the third quarter of 2026 was driven by net charge-offs of $2.1 million, partially offset by improved economic factors and the reversal of the remaining incremental reserve for potential exposure from Hurricane Helene. The Allowance for Credit Losses decreased $0.7 million to $124.2 million, or 1.36% of loans. Additionally, the $124 thousand reversal of provision for unfunded commitments during the quarter was primarily the result of lower reserve rates.
Asset quality remained strong with annualized net loan charge-offs of 0.09% for the third quarter of 2026. Total nonperforming assets ("NPAs") totaled $45.0 million at September 30, 2026, or 0.34% of total assets, consistent with June 30, 2026 and up slightly from 0.31% at September 30, 2025.

Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income for the third quarter of 2026 was $15.1 million, a $0.9 million decrease from the linked quarter, primarily related to a $0.9 million decrease in Other income, net. Adjusting for the $27.9 million securities loss earnback transaction in the third quarter of 2025, the current quarter reflected a 1.1% increase from an adjusted $15.0 million for the like quarter.
Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest expenses amounted to $64.0 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to $62.8 million for the linked quarter and $60.2 million for the like quarter. The $1.2 million, or 2.0%, increase in noninterest expense from the linked quarter was driven by a $1.0 million increase in Total personnel expense. The $3.8 million increase from the like quarter was driven by a $2.6 million increase in Total personnel expense. While noninterest expenses have been increasing, they are the result of the Company's continued growth as the efficiency ratio was 49.09% for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared to 49.12% for the linked quarter and 66.92% for the like quarter. We recognized $0.5 million of Merger and acquisition expenses during the third quarter of 2026 related to the pending Carolina Bank acquisition.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense totaled $13.3 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to $12.9 million for the linked quarter and $5.6 million for the like quarter, reflecting effective tax rates of 20.7%, 20.3% and 21.6% for the respective periods.

Included in interest income for the third quarter of 2026 was a loan purchase accounting discount accretion of $0.8 million compared to $1.1 million for the linked quarter and $1.6 million for the like quarter, with the activity primarily related to the continued repayments/reduction of the loan portfolio acquired from GrandSouth Bancorporation in January of 2023.
