"I’m pleased with our first quarter 2026 results which have put us on a good trajectory for the year. Our new loan originations were strong and we grew our loan portfolio while maintaining a solid core deposit base. Our balance sheet is well-positioned, asset quality metrics are in line with our moderate risk profile, and we delivered top quartile returns compared to our peers.

Results of Operations

First Quarter 2026 compared to Fourth Quarter 2025

The Company reported first quarter 2026 net income applicable to common shares of $27.1 million, or $1.79 per diluted common share, compared to fourth quarter 2025 net income applicable to common shares of $30.0 million, or $1.98 per diluted common share.

  • Period-end total gross loans were $5.4 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $17.0 million from December 31, 2025, as the Company originated $132.0 million of new, relationship-based loan commitments.
  • Period-end total deposits were $6.3 billion at March 31, 2026, a decrease of $71.7 million from December 31, 2025. Excluding a $61.0 million decrease in brokered deposits, core deposits decreased $10.7 million.
  • Net interest income for the quarter was $71.8 million compared to $74.9 million in the prior quarter due to a decrease in interest income of $5.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $2.6 million. The decrease in total interest expense was primarily driven by lower deposit costs from a decrease in the balance of brokered time deposits and lower rates on certain deposit products.
  • Net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis (non-GAAP1) decreased to 4.09% versus 4.11% in the fourth quarter of 2025, mainly attributable to a decrease in average volume and average rate on loans and an increase in average volume on short-term borrowings compared to the fourth quarter of 2025.
  • Accretion income on loans during the quarter was $6.8 million, and the amortization expense impact on interest expense was $1.4 million, or 30.5 bps of net interest margin on an annualized basis in the first quarter of 2026. In the prior quarter, accretion income on loans during the quarter was $8.7 million, and the amortization expense impact on interest expense was $1.4 million, or 39.3 bps of net interest margin on an annualized basis.
  • The cost of total deposits, including non-interest bearing deposits, was 1.71% in the first quarter of 2026, compared to 1.80% in the fourth quarter of 2025. The decrease in the cost of deposits was mostly due to a decrease in the rate paid on interest-bearing deposits compared to the fourth quarter of 2025.
  • The Company recorded credit provision expense in the first quarter of 2026 of $213.0 thousand on loans and a recapture of $201.0 thousand on unfunded commitments and the Company’s allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2026, was $68.0 million, or 1.3% of total loans.
  • Total non-interest income for the first quarter of 2026 was $12.9 million compared to $11.6 million in the prior quarter, primarily due to an increase in gains on securities of $1.9 million and a $821.0 thousand increase in other non-interest income, which was partially offset by a decrease of $1.3 million in income from company-owned life insurance in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. In the prior quarter, collection of death proceeds from company-owned life insurance increased non-interest income by $1.7 million.
  • Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2026 was $51.4 million compared to $48.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily due to an increase in salaries, wages and employee benefits of $1.6 million, an increase in occupancy costs of $631.0 thousand and an increase in equipment rentals, depreciation and maintenance of $455.0 thousand.

Operating net income is a non-GAAP measure that is derived from net income adjusted for significant items. The Company believes that operating net income is useful in periods with certain significant items such as merger-related expenses. The operating net income is more reflective of management’s ability to grow the business and manage expenses. Adjusted non-interest expense also removes these significant items, such as merger-related expenses. Management believes it represents a more normalized non-interest expense total for periods with identified significant items.

Total revenue is a non-GAAP measure and is derived from total interest income less total interest expense plus total non-interest income. We believe that total revenue is a useful tool to determine how the Company is managing its business and demonstrates how stable our revenue sources are from period to period.

Pretax, pre-provision earnings (non-GAAP1)   $ 33,315   $ 38,047   $ 37,263   $ 37,805   $ 33,346


Pretax, pre-provision earnings is a non-GAAP measure and is based on adjusting income before income taxes and to exclude provision for (recapture of) credit losses. We believe that pretax, pre-provision earnings is a useful tool to help evaluate the ability to provide for credit costs through operations and provides an additional basis to compare results between periods by isolating the impact of provision for (recapture of) credit losses, which can vary significantly between periods.

Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP1)   $ 51.83   $ 51.13   $ 48.72   $ 45.73   $ 44.17


In management's view, tangible common equity measures are capital adequacy metrics that may be meaningful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, in assessing the Company's use of equity and in facilitating comparisons with peers. These non-GAAP measures are valuable indicators of a financial institution's capital strength because they eliminate intangible assets from shareholders' equity and retain the effect of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) in shareholders' equity.

In management’s view, tangible common assets measures complement tangible common equity measures and may be meaningful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, in assessing balance sheet composition and leverage and in facilitating comparisons with peers. These non‑GAAP measures enhance transparency by eliminating intangible assets from total assets, thereby providing additional insight into the relationship between the Company’s tangible asset base and its tangible common equity.

In management’s view, adjusted return on average common equity, return on average tangible common equity, adjusted return on average tangible common equity, and adjusted return on average assets are performance metrics that may be meaningful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, in evaluating the Company’s profitability and efficiency in deploying capital and assets and in facilitating comparisons with peers. These non‑GAAP measures provide additional insight into the Company’s underlying operating performance by focusing on returns generated from common equity, tangible common equity, and total assets, as applicable.

The adjusted measures exclude the after‑tax effect of one‑time merger‑related expenses, which management believes enhances period‑to‑period comparability and provides a more representative view of the Company’s ongoing earnings performance. Return on average tangible common equity measures further isolate performance attributable to tangible capital by excluding the impact of intangible assets, while return on average assets reflects the Company’s effectiveness in generating earnings from its overall asset base. Management believes these measures, when considered together and alongside GAAP results, provide useful supplemental information for assessing profitability, capital efficiency, and operating trends.

Net Interest Margin & Taxable-Equivalent Net Interest Income (non-GAAP1)

Net interest margin (non-GAAP1)     4.09 %     4.11 %     4.08 %     4.17 %     4.18 %


The interest income earned on certain earning assets is completely or partially exempt from federal income tax. As such, these tax-exempt instruments typically yield lower returns than taxable investments. To provide more meaningful comparisons of net interest income, we use net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis by increasing the interest income earned on tax-exempt assets to make it fully equivalent to interest income earned on taxable investments. FTE net interest income is calculated by adding the tax benefit on certain financial interest earning assets, whose interest is tax-exempt, to total interest income then subtracting total interest expense. Management believes FTE net interest income is a standard practice in the banking industry, and when net interest income is adjusted on an FTE basis, yields on taxable, nontaxable, and partially taxable assets are comparable; however, the adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on net income and this adjustment is not permitted under GAAP. FTE net interest income is only used for calculating FTE net interest margin, which is calculated by annualizing FTE net interest income and then dividing by the average earning assets. The tax rate used for this adjustment is 21%. Net interest income shown elsewhere in this presentation is GAAP net interest income.
