Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $90.4 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $88.4 million in the first quarter of 2026. NIM (FTE) (non-GAAP) increased 7 basis points to 3.99% compared to 3.92% in the prior quarter. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased 4 basis points to 5.64% compared to 5.60% in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to a higher yield on loans. Total interest-bearing liability costs decreased 4 basis points to 2.50% compared to 2.54% in the first quarter of 2026 mainly due to a better funding mix. Average brokered deposits decreased $146.2 million while average interest-bearing customer deposits increased $119.8 million compared to the first quarter of 2026.

Asset Quality

The allowance for credit losses, or ACL, was unchanged at $93.3 million, or 1.16% of total portfolio loans, at June 30, 2026 compared to $93.3 million, or 1.17%, at March 31, 2026. The provision for credit losses was $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2026. Net loan charge-offs were $1.0 million, or 0.05% of average loans, compared to $1.7 million, or 0.09% of average loans, in the first quarter of 2026. NPAs decreased $9.7 million to $40.2 million, or 0.50% of total loans plus OREO, compared to $49.9 million, or 0.63%, at March 31, 2026.

Noninterest Income and Expense

Noninterest income increased $1.3 million to $14.9 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $13.6 million in the first quarter of 2026. Higher noninterest income related to a $0.4 million increase in debit and credit card fees due to the first quarter of 2026 being seasonally lower and a $0.3 million increase in other income primarily related to partnership income and unrealized gains on equity securities. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2026 there was a $0.2 million net gain on the sale of securities resulting from a $1.9 million gain related to Visa Class B-2 common stock conversion, which was mostly offset by a $1.7 million loss related to the repositioning of securities into longer duration, higher yielding securities.

Noninterest expense increased $2.0 million to $58.7 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $56.7 million in the first quarter of 2026. Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.3 million primarily related to annual merit increases and higher medical costs. Other noninterest expense increased $1.0 million primarily due to normal fluctuations across several expense categories and timing-related items.

Financial Condition

Total assets were $9.9 billion at both June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026. Cash and due from banks decreased $121.2 million related to an increase in loans compared to March 31, 2026. Total portfolio loans increased $99.0 million compared to March 31, 2026 with an increase in the commercial loan portfolio of $104.2 million and a decrease in the consumer loan portfolio of $5.2 million. The increase in the commercial loan portfolio was due to an increase in commercial and industrial of $79.0 million and an increase in commercial construction of $71.4 million, offset by a decline in commercial real estate of $46.2 million compared to March 31, 2026. Total deposits decreased $99.1 million due to lower brokered deposits of $100.4 million compared to March 31, 2026. Customer deposits were stable in the second quarter, following solid growth in the first quarter of 2026 with year-to-date growth of $307.7 million, or 8.0% annualized. Money market decreased $80.8 million, noninterest bearing deposits decreased $16.9 million, interest-bearing demand decreased $14.8 million and savings decreased $1.2 million, offset by an increase in certificates of deposit of $14.7 million, compared to March 31, 2026. The decrease in money market of $80.8 million is net of a decline in brokered money market deposits of $100.4 million offset by an increase in customer money market deposits of $19.6 million compared to March 31, 2026. Total borrowings increased $125.0 million to $275.3 million compared to $150.3 million at March 31, 2026 due to a decrease in brokered deposits and share repurchases.

During the second quarter of 2026, 1,074,924 shares were repurchased at an average price of $44.24 per share for $47.6 million. Total share repurchases over the past three quarters were 3,169,294 shares, representing 8.3% of outstanding shares, at an average price of $42.09 per share totaling $133.4 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to traditional measures presented in accordance with GAAP, our management uses, and this information contains or references, certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as tangible book value, return on average tangible shareholders' equity, PPNR to average assets, efficiency ratio on an FTE basis, tangible common equity to tangible assets and net interest margin on an FTE basis. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding our underlying operational performance and our business and performance trends as they facilitate comparisons with the performance of other companies in the financial services industry. Although we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors' understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to GAAP or considered to be more important than financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable with non-GAAP measures which may be presented by other companies. See Definitions and Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures for more information related to these financial measures.
