Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income (FTE) of $111.5 million increased $4.9 million from the previous quarter and increased $14.6 million from the prior year quarter. The increase from the previous quarter was primarily due to a 9 basis point expansion in the net interest margin and a $133.8 million increase in interest earning assets.

The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2025 was 3.92%, an increase of 9 basis points from the previous quarter and an increase of 36 basis points from the third quarter of 2024. The increase from the previous quarter was due primarily to a lower cost of funds.

Total average deposits grew $102.7 million, or 4.0% annualized, in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the previous quarter.

Total average loans grew $222.8 million, or 9.4% annualized, in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the previous quarter.

Asset Quality

Provision expense in the third quarter of 2025 totaled $11.3 million as compared to $8.9 million in the previous quarter (excluding acquisition Day-1 non-PCD provision for CenterGroup).

The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of end-of-period loans in the third quarter of 2025 was 1.34% as compared to 1.39% in the previous quarter.

At September 30, 2025, nonperforming loans totaled $88.7 million, a decrease of $10.8 million from the previous quarter. The decrease from the prior quarter was driven by a decreased balance of $15.9 million for an individual commercial floorplan relationship that was transferred to nonaccrual status during the second quarter of 2025.

Nonperforming loans represented 0.91% of total loans for the period ended September 30, 2025 as compared to 1.04% and 0.83% for the periods ended June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively.

During the third quarter of 2025, net charge-offs were $12.2 million as compared to $2.8 million in the previous quarter and $8.8 million in the third quarter of 2024. The increase from the previous quarter was due to a $5.5 million chargeoff for the aforementioned floorplan relationship and a $2.8 million chargeoff from the sale of five recently acquired loans with a $2.6 million loan mark.

Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans (annualized) were 0.51%, 0.12% and 0.39% for the periods ended September 30, 2025, June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively.

Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense

Noninterest income (excluding securities gains and losses) totaled $24.5 million for the third quarter of 2025, a $0.3 million decrease from the second quarter of 2025 and unchanged from the third quarter of 2024.

The quarter-over-quarter change was driven by a $0.3 million increase in gain on sale of mortgage loans, a $0.4 million increase in trust income, and a $0.4 million increase in brokerage commissions, offset by a $1.1 million decrease in gain on sale of other loans primarily due to gains on the sale of other real estate owned (OREO) properties in the prior quarter.

Total security gains were $0.4 million during the third quarter of 2025 due to the early call of a discounted note.

Noninterest expense (excluding merger-related expense) of $72.7 million increased $0.4 million from the previous quarter. The increase was primarily due to a $0.5 million increase in advertising and promotional expense and a $0.3 million increase in intangible amortization, partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in other loan expense.

The core efficiency ratio was 52.3% during the third quarter of 2025 as compared to 54.1% in the previous quarter and 56.7% in the third quarter of 2024.

Full time equivalent staff was 1,548 at September 30, 2025, 1,562 at June 30, 2025, and 1,500 at September 30, 2024.

(a) Deposits on the above balance sheet for periods prior to June 30, 2025 reflect a reclassification to interest-bearing deposits from savings deposits in order to remove the impact of an internal sweep program related to regulatory reserve requirements. The internal sweep program was terminated in the second quarter of 2025, therefore prior periods are now shown without the reclassification.

DEFINITIONS AND RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

Note: Management believes that it is standard practice in the banking industry to present these non-GAAP measures. These measures provide useful information to management and investors by allowing them to make peer comparisons.

(1) Net interest income has been computed on a fully taxable equivalent basis ("FTE") using the federal income tax statutory rate of 21%.

(2) Core efficiency ratio excludes from total revenue the impact of derivative mark-to-market and excludes from "total noninterest expense" the amortization of intangibles and any other unusual items deemed by management to not be related to normal operations, such as merger, acquisition and severance costs.

(3) Includes held for sale loans.

(4) Excludes held for sale loans.
