| ● | any service interruptions, cyber incidents or other breaches relating to our technology systems, security systems or infrastructure or those of our third-party providers; |
| ● | the occurrence of fraud or other financial crimes within our business; |
| ● | competition from other financial services providers, including traditional financial institutions and fintechs, and the effects of disintermediation within the banking business including consolidation within the industry; |
| ● | changes to federal government lending programs like the SBA’s Preferred Lender Program and the FHA’s insurance programs, including the impact of changes in regulations and budget appropriations on such programs; |
| ● | impairment of our mortgage servicing rights, disruption in the secondary market for mortgage loans, declines in real estate values, or being required to repurchase mortgage loans or reimburse investors; |
| ● | claims and litigation related to our fiduciary responsibilities in connection with our trust and wealth business; |

| ● | developments in technology, such as artificial intelligence, the success of our digital growth strategy, and our ability to incorporate innovative technologies in our business and provide products and services that satisfy our clients’ expectations for convenience and security; |
| ● | our ability to integrate Vista Bank into our business may be more difficult, costly or time consuming than expected and we may fail to realize the anticipated benefits or cost savings of the acquisition; |
| ● | failure to obtain regulatory approvals or consummate attractive acquisitions or continue to increase organic loan growth would restrict our growth plans: |
| ● | the accuracy of projected operating results for assets and businesses we acquire; |

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
March 31, 2026
Note 1 Basis of Presentation
National Bank Holdings Corporation is a bank holding company that has elected financial holding company status and was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 2009. The Company is headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado, and its primary operations are conducted through its wholly owned subsidiaries NBH Bank and BOJHT. NBH Bank is a Colorado state-chartered bank and a member of the Federal Reserve, and BOJHT is a Wyoming state-chartered bank and a member of the Federal Reserve. The Company provides a variety of banking products to both commercial and consumer clients through a network of over
The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements serve to update the National Bank Holdings Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, NBH Bank, BOJHT and 2UniFi, LLC. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and, where applicable, with general practices in the banking industry or guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory agencies. However, they may not include all information and notes necessary to constitute a complete set of financial statements under GAAP applicable to annual periods and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the financial information contained in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications of prior years’ amounts are made whenever necessary to conform to current period presentation. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other interim period. All amounts are in thousands, except share data, or as otherwise noted.
GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. By their nature, estimates are based on judgment and available information. Management has made significant estimates in certain areas, such as the fair values of financial instruments, contingent liabilities and the ACL. Because of the inherent uncertainties associated with any estimation process and future changes in market and economic conditions, it is possible that actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
The Company’s significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 2 of the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2025 and are contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to the application of significant accounting policies since December 31, 2025, except for the following:
Acquisition activities—The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured and recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition, including identifiable intangible assets. If the fair value of net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of consideration paid, a bargain purchase gain is recognized at the date of acquisition. Conversely, if the consideration paid exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired, goodwill is recognized at the acquisition date. Fair values are subject to refinement for up to a maximum of
Identifiable intangible assets are recognized separately if they arise from contractual or other legal rights or if they are separable (i.e., capable of being sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged separately from the entity). The depositor relationship related to deposit liabilities, the client relationship related to assets under management, acquired technology intangibles and the trade name intangible (known as the core deposit, client relationship, acquired technology intangible assets and trade name intangible, respectively) may be exchanged in observable exchange transactions. As a result, these intangible assets are considered identifiable, because the separability criterion has been met.

Note 2 Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has not adopted any recent accounting pronouncements in addition to those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, except for the following:
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans. The update amends the guidance in ASC 326 on the accounting for certain purchased loans. Under the new guidance, the initial recognition of the ACL for purchased loans that meet the criteria to be deemed purchased seasoned loans is aligned with the treatment for PCD loans. Specifically, an ACL is established for the initial estimate of expected credit losses as of the acquisition date and recorded through a gross-up adjustment to the amortized cost basis of the loans. The Company elected to adopt ASU 2025-08 early, as permitted by the guidance, as of January 1, 2026. The update impacted purchase accounting entries related to loans from the Vista acquisition as described below in note 3.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Topic 350): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The update eliminates the accounting consideration of software project development stages and enhances the guidance around the threshold for cost capitalization. The Company adopted ASU 2025-06 early as of January 1, 2026, using a prospective transition approach. The update did not have a material impact to the financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The update is related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC Topic 606. It allows all entities to elect a practical expedient that assumes current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The update also allows for an accounting policy election, which is not applicable to public business entities. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 as of January 1, 2026, on a prospective basis, and elected to use the practical expedient. The guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Note 3 Acquisition Activities
On January 7, 2026, the Company completed its acquisition of Vista Bancshares, Inc., the bank holding company of Texas-based Vista Bank. Pursuant to the merger agreement executed in September 2025, the Company paid $
The Company determined that this acquisition constitutes a business combination as defined in ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, as of the date of the acquisition, the Company has recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value. The Company determined fair values in accordance with the guidance provided in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Fair value is established by discounting the expected future cash flows with a market discount rate for like maturities and risk instruments. The estimation of expected future cash flows, market conditions, other future events and actual results could differ materially from the original estimates. The determination of the fair values of fixed assets, loans, OREO and core deposit intangible involves a high degree of judgment and complexity.
12
The table below summarizes net assets acquired (at fair value) and consideration transferred in connection with the Vista acquisition. The fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities noted in the table may change during the provisional period, which may last up to twelve months subsequent to the acquisition date. The Company may obtain additional information to refine the valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities and adjust the recorded fair value.

In connection with the Vista acquisition, the Company recorded $
Cash and due from banks—The carrying amount of these assets was deemed a reasonable estimate of fair value based on the short-term nature of these assets.
Investment securities available-for-sale— The investment securities portfolio fair value was determined utilizing third-party pricing services.
Loans, net—The fair value of loans were based on a discounted cash flow methodology that considered the loans’ underlying characteristics including account type, remaining terms of loan, annual interest rates or coupon, interest types, past delinquencies, timing of principal and interest payments, current market rates, loan to value ratios, loss exposure and remaining balance. The discount rates applied were based upon a build-up approach considering the alternative cost of funds, capital charges, servicing costs, and a liquidity premium. Loans were aggregated according to similar characteristics when applying the valuation method.
Core deposit and other intangibles—The Company recorded a core deposit intangible asset of $
13
was valued using the relief‑from‑royalty method, which estimates fair value based on projected revenues, an assumed market‑based royalty rate, and a discount rate applied to the resulting cash flows.
The core deposit intangible and trade name intangible will be amortized straight-line over
Deposits—By definition, the fair value of demand and saving deposits equals the amount payable. For time deposits acquired, the Company utilized an income approach, discounting the contractual cash flows on the instruments over their remaining contractual lives at prevailing market rates.
Accounting for acquired loans
The Company adopted ASU 2025-08 as of January 1, 2026, which impacted the accounting for acquired loans. The Company grouped acquired loans according to similar characteristics. Loans that reflected a more-than-insignificant deterioration of credit were categorized as purchased credit deteriorated loans, and all other loans were categorized as purchased seasoned loans. For both PSLs and PCD loans, the initial estimate of expected credit losses was included in the balance of loans with an offsetting amount recorded to the ACL as of the date of acquisition.
The following table provides a summary of loans purchased as part of the Vista acquisition as of the acquisition date:

The Company does not measure expected credit losses on a financial asset, or group of financial assets, in which historical credit loss information adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts results in an expectation that nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is zero. Management evaluated held-to-maturity securities noting they are backed by loans guaranteed by either U.S. government agencies or GSEs, and management believes that default is highly unlikely given this governmental backing and long history without credit losses. Additionally, management notes that yields on which the portfolio generally trades are based upon market views of prepayment and liquidity risk and not credit risk. The Company has no intention to sell any held-to-maturity securities and believes it will not be required to sell any held-to-maturity securities before the recovery of their amortized cost.

Loans evaluated individually
We evaluate loans individually when they no longer share risk characteristics with pooled loans. These loans include loans on non-accrual status, loans in bankruptcy, and modified loans as described below. If a specific allowance is warranted based on the borrower’s overall financial condition, the specific allowance is calculated based on discounted expected cash flows using the loan’s initial contractual effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral less selling costs for collateral-dependent loans.
A loan is considered collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. Management individually evaluates collateral-dependent loans with an amortized cost basis of $

Loan modifications
The Company’s policy is to review each prospective credit to determine the appropriateness and the adequacy of security or collateral prior to making a loan. In the event of borrower default, the Company seeks recovery in compliance with lending laws, the respective loan agreements, and credit monitoring and remediation procedures that may include modifying a loan to provide a concession by the Company to the borrower from their original terms due to borrower financial difficulties in order to facilitate repayment. The Company considers loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties, where such a concession is utilized, to be modified loans. Modified loans may include principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, other-than-insignificant-payment delays, term extensions or any combination thereof.

In evaluating the loan portfolio for an appropriate ACL level, excluding loans evaluated individually, loans were grouped into segments based on broad characteristics such as primary use and underlying collateral. Within the segments, the portfolio was further disaggregated into classes of loans with similar attributes and risk characteristics for purposes of developing the underlying data used within the discounted cash flow model including, but not limited to, prepayment and recovery rates as well as loss rates tied to macro-economic conditions within management’s reasonable and supportable forecast. The ACL also includes subjective adjustments based upon qualitative risk factors including asset quality, loss trends, lending management, portfolio growth and loan review/internal audit results.

Note 10 Regulatory Capital
As a bank holding company that has elected to be treated as a financial holding company, the Company, NBH Bank and BOJHT are subject to regulatory capital adequacy requirements implemented by the Federal Reserve, in addition to those implemented by the FDIC for NBH Bank and BOJHT, including maintaining capital positions at the “well-capitalized” level. The federal banking agencies have risk-based capital adequacy regulations intended to provide a measure of capital adequacy that reflects the degree of risk associated with a banking organization’s operations. Under these regulations, assets are assigned to one of several risk categories, and nominal dollar amounts of assets and credit equivalent amounts of off-balance-sheet items are multiplied by a risk-adjustment percentage for the category. Regulatory authorities can initiate certain mandatory actions if the Company, NBH Bank or BOJHT fail to meet the minimum capital requirements, which could have a material effect on our financial statements and business generally.

Note 11 Revenue from Contracts with Clients
Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with clients are satisfied. Below is the detail of the Company’s revenue from contracts with clients, including service charges and other deposit account related fees, bank card fees and other non-interest income. Other non-interest income includes trust and wealth management fees and Cambr fee income.
32
Service charges and other account-related fees
Service charge fees are primarily comprised of monthly service fees, check orders and other deposit account related fees. Other fees include revenue from processing wire transfers, bill pay service, cashier’s checks and other services. The Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Check orders and other deposit account-related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to clients’ accounts.
Bank card fees
Bank card fees are primarily comprised of debit card income, ATM fees, merchant services income and other fees. Debit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Visa. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Bank cardholder uses a non-Bank ATM or a non-Bank cardholder uses a Bank ATM. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit card transactions. The Company’s performance obligation for bank card fees is largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month.
Other non-interest income
Trust and wealth management fees
The trust and wealth management business offers separately managed investment account solutions and trustee services to clients. Services may include custody of assets, trustee services, wealth management and directed trusts. The Company charges an asset-based fee earned for personal and corporate accounts. Additional fees may include minimum annual fees, fees for additional tax reporting and preparation for irrevocable trust returns or annual flat fees for certain trusts. The performance obligations related to this revenue include items such as performing investment advisory services, custody and record-keeping services, and fund administrative and accounting services. The performance obligations are satisfied upon completion of service and fees are generally a fixed flat rate or based on a percentage of the account’s market value per the contract with the client. These fees are recorded within other non-interest income in the consolidated statements of operations.
Cambr fee income
Cambr operates a deposit acquisition and processing platform that generates core deposits from accounts offered through third-party embedded finance companies. Cambr’s platform facilitates the movement of embedded finance companies’ client deposits into FDIC-insured accounts at banks within Cambr’s network. Cambr generates fee income by charging a percentage-based fee of the deposit balance placed into the Cambr network. The performance obligation is satisfied upon completion of service, and Cambr fee income is recorded within other non-interest income in the consolidated statements of operations.
Other non-interest expense
Included within other non-interest expense are gains and losses from OREO sales, which are recognized when the Company meets its performance obligation to transfer title to the buyer. The gain or loss is measured as the excess of the proceeds received compared to the OREO carrying value. Sales proceeds are received in cash at the time of transfer.

Note 15 Derivatives
Risk management objective of using derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company has established policies stipulating that neither carrying value nor fair value at risk should exceed established guidelines. The Company has designed strategies to confine these risks within the established limits and identify appropriate trade-offs in the financial structure of its balance sheet. These strategies include the use of derivative financial instruments to help achieve the desired balance sheet repricing structure while meeting the desired objectives of its clients. Currently, the Company employs certain interest rate swaps that are designated as fair value hedges, cash flow hedges and economic hedges. The Company manages a matched book with respect to its derivative instruments in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.
Fair values of derivative instruments on the balance sheet
The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification in the consolidated statements of financial condition as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Information about the valuation methods used to measure fair value is provided in note 17.

Cash flow hedges
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest income and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses floors and collars as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate floors designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty if interest rates fall below the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium. Interest rate collars designated as cash flow hedges involve the payments of variable-rate amounts if interest rates rise above the cap strike rate on the contract and receipt of variable-rate amounts if interest rates fall below the floor strike rate on the contract.
For derivatives that qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into interest income in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized over the life of the hedge on a systematic and rational basis. The earnings recognition of excluded components is included in interest income. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest income as interest payments are received on the Company’s variable-rate assets. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash flow hedges with a notional amount of $
Fair value hedges
Interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $
For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. The Company includes the gain or loss on the hedged items in the same line item as the offsetting loss or gain on the related derivatives. The following table presents the Company’s fixed-rate loans associated with the interest rate swaps and the loss included in loans receivable in the statements of financial condition as of the dates shown:

Non-designated hedges
Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and consist of interest rate swaps with commercial banking clients that facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the client swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had matched interest rate swap transactions with an aggregate notional amount of $
As part of its mortgage banking activities, the Company enters into interest rate lock commitments, which are commitments to originate loans where the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the clients have locked into that interest rate. The Company then locks in the loan and interest rate with an investor and commits to deliver the loan if settlement occurs (“best efforts”) or commits to deliver the locked loan in a binding (“mandatory”) delivery program with an investor. Fair value changes of certain
38
loans under interest rate lock commitments are hedged with forward sales contracts of MBS. Forward sales contracts of MBS are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in non-interest income. Interest rate lock commitments and commitments to deliver loans to investors are considered derivatives. The market value of interest rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts are not readily ascertainable with precision because they are not actively traded in stand-alone markets. The Company determines the fair value of interest rate lock commitments and delivery contracts by measuring the fair value of the underlying assets. The fair value of the underlying assets is impacted by current interest rates, remaining origination fees, costs of production to be incurred and the probability that the interest rate lock commitments will close or will be funded.
Certain additional risks arise from these forward delivery contracts in that the counterparties to the contracts may not be able to meet the terms of the contracts. The Company does not expect any counterparty to any MBS contract to fail to meet its obligation. Additional risks inherent in mandatory delivery programs include the risk that, if the Company fails to deliver the loans subject to interest rate risk lock commitments, it will still be obligated to “pair off” MBS to the counterparty. Should this be required, the Company could incur significant costs in acquiring replacement loans and such costs could have an adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.
The fair value of the mortgage banking derivative is recorded as a freestanding asset or liability with the change in value being recognized in current earnings during the period of change.

Credit-risk-related contingent features
The Company has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness for reasons other than an error or omission of an administrative or operational nature, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.
The Company also has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where, if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well/adequately capitalized institution, the counterparty has the right to terminate the derivative positions and the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements.
As of March 31, 2026, the termination value of derivatives in a net liability position related to these agreements was
Note 16 Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various off-balance sheet commitments to help meet the financing needs of clients. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, commercial and consumer lines of credit and standby letters of credit. The same credit policies are applied to these commitments as the loans in the consolidated statements of financial condition; however, these commitments involve varying degrees of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The total amounts of unused commitments do not necessarily represent future credit exposure or cash requirements, as commitments often expire without being drawn upon. However, the contractual amount of these commitments, offset by any additional collateral pledged, represents the Company’s potential credit loss exposure.
Total unfunded commitments at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were as follows:

Total unfunded commitments | $ | | $ | | ||
Commitments to fund loans—Commitments to fund loans are legally binding agreements to lend to clients in accordance with predetermined contractual provisions provided there have been no violations of any conditions specified in the contract. These commitments are generally at variable interest rates and are for specific periods or contain termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. The total amounts of unused commitments are not necessarily representative of future credit exposure or cash requirements, as commitments often expire without being drawn upon.
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit—In the ordinary course of business, the Company extends revolving credit to its clients. These arrangements may require the payment of a fee.
Commercial and standby letters of credit—The Company routinely issues commercial and standby letters of credit, which may be financial standby letters of credit or performance standby letters of credit. These are various forms of “back-up” commitments to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party. While these arrangements represent a potential cash outlay for the Company, the
40
majority of these letters of credit will expire without being drawn upon. Letters of credit are subject to the same underwriting and credit approval process as traditional loans, and as such, many of them have various forms of collateral securing the commitment, which may include real estate, personal property, receivables or marketable securities.
Contingencies
Mortgage loans sold to investors may be subject to repurchase or indemnification in the event of specific default by the borrower or subsequent discovery that underwriting standards were not met. The Company established a reserve liability for expected losses related to these representations and warranties based upon management’s evaluation of actual and historical loss history, delinquency trends or other documentation or deficiency findings in the portfolio and economic conditions. Charges against the reserve during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 totaling $

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be subject to litigation. Based upon the available information and advice from the Company’s legal counsel, management does not believe that any potential, threatened or pending litigation to which it is, or would reasonably become, a party will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.
Note 17 Fair Value Measurements
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to disclose the fair value of its financial instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. For disclosure purposes, the Company groups its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities into three different levels based on the nature of the instrument and the availability and reliability of the information that is used to determine fair value. The three levels are defined as follows:
| ● | Level 1—Includes assets or liabilities in which the valuation methodologies are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| ● | Level 2—Includes assets or liabilities in which the inputs to the valuation methodologies are based on similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds and other inputs obtained from observable market input. |
| ● | Level 3—Includes assets or liabilities in which the inputs to the valuation methodology are based on at least one significant assumption that is not observable in the marketplace. These valuations may rely on management’s judgment and may include internally-developed model-based valuation techniques. |
Level 1 inputs are considered to be the most transparent and reliable and level 3 inputs are considered to be the least transparent and reliable. The Company assumes the use of the principal market to conduct a transaction of each particular asset or liability being measured and then considers the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Whenever possible, the Company first looks for quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (level 1 inputs) to value each asset or liability. However, when inputs from identical assets or liabilities on active markets are not available, the Company utilizes market observable data for similar assets and liabilities. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and limits the use of unobservable inputs to occasions when observable inputs are not available. The need to use unobservable inputs generally results from the lack of market liquidity of the actual financial instrument or of the underlying collateral. While third-party price indications may be available in those cases, limited trading activity can challenge the observability of those inputs.
41
Changes in the valuation inputs used for measuring the fair value of financial instruments may occur due to changes in current market conditions or other factors. Such changes may necessitate a transfer of the financial instruments to another level in the hierarchy based on the new inputs used. The Company recognizes these transfers at the end of the reporting period that the transfer occurs. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, there were
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of each instrument under the valuation hierarchy:
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Measured on a Recurring Basis
Investment securities available-for-sale—Investment securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value and measured on a recurring basis. To the extent possible, observable quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value and, as such, these securities are classified as level 1. When quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are not available, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, discounted cash flows or other pricing characteristics are used to estimate fair values and the securities are then classified as level 2.
Equity securities with readily determinable fair values—Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are generally traded on an exchange and market prices are readily available. These securities are carried at fair value on a recurring basis based on quoted market prices and are classified as level 1.
Loans held for sale—The Company has elected to record loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market at estimated fair value. The portfolio consists primarily of fixed-rate residential mortgage loans that are sold within
Interest rate swap derivatives—The Company’s derivative instruments are limited to interest rate swaps that may be accounted for as fair value hedges or non-designated hedges. The fair values of the swaps incorporate credit valuation adjustments in order to appropriately reflect nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. The credit valuation adjustment is the dollar amount of the fair value adjustment related to credit risk and utilizes a probability weighted calculation to quantify the potential loss over the life of the trade. The credit valuation adjustments are calculated by determining the total expected exposure of the derivatives (which incorporates both the current and potential future exposure) and then applying the respective counterparties’ credit spreads to the exposure offset by marketable collateral posted, if any. Certain derivative transactions are executed with counterparties who are large financial institutions, or dealers. ISDA Master Agreements are employed for all contracts with dealers. These contracts contain bilateral collateral arrangements. The fair value inputs of these financial instruments are determined using discounted cash flow analysis through the use of third-party models whose significant inputs are readily observable market parameters, primarily yield curves, with appropriate adjustments for liquidity and credit risk, and are classified as level 2.
Mortgage banking derivatives—The Company relies on a third-party pricing service to value its mortgage banking derivative financial assets and liabilities, which the Company classifies as a level 3 valuation. The external valuation model to estimate the fair value of its interest rate lock commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale includes grouping the interest rate lock commitments by interest rate and terms, applying an average

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Measured on a Non-recurring Basis
Certain assets may be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as conditions warrant. These non-recurring fair value measurements typically result from the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or a write-down occurring during the period.
Individually evaluated loans—The Company records individually evaluated loans based on the fair value of the collateral when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all contractual amounts due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement.

Note 18 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is determined based upon quoted market prices to the extent possible; however, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques that may be significantly impacted by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Changes in any of these assumptions could significantly affect the fair value estimates. The fair value of the financial instruments listed below does not reflect a premium or discount that could result from offering all of the Company’s holdings of financial instruments at one time, nor does it reflect the underlying value of the Company, as ASC Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies and are based on the exit price concept within ASC Topic 825 and applied to this disclosure on a prospective basis. Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data in order to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

As of March 31, 2026, we had $12.6 billion in assets, $9.6 billion in loans, $10.5 billion in deposits, $1.7 billion in equity and $1.4 billion in assets under management in our trust and wealth management business.
Operating Highlights
Strategic execution
● | The Company closed the acquisition of Vista on January 7, 2026, which further strengthens the Company’s presence in the high-growth Dallas-Ft. Worth, Austin, and Lubbock, Texas markets. The acquisition added $1.9 billion in total loans and $2.2 billion in total deposits. The merger consideration totaled $377.7 million and consisted of $288.7 million in NBHC common stock and $89.0 million in cash. The core system conversion for this transaction will be completed during the third quarter of 2026. | |
● | During the first quarter of 2026, the Company generated record loan fundings of $805.5 million driving annualized loan growth of 12.4% on top of $1.9 billion in loans added in January 2026 from the Vista acquisition. | |
● | Enhanced shareholder returns by increasing the quarterly dividend by 3% to $0.32 per share and executed $16.1 million of share buybacks during the first quarter. | |
● | Received Moody’s long-term issuer rating of Baa2, and a Baseline Credit Assessment of Baa1 and initiated on-going monitoring by Moody’s. | |
● | In February 2026, the Company closed a public offering of $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes. The offering was increased to $150.0 million from a $100.0 million initial transaction given strong investor demand from a high-quality institutional investor base. |
Profitability and returns
● | | Net income totaled $20.8 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to net income of $24.2 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, acquisition and restructuring expenses totaled $11.8 million, after tax. Adjusted net income, which |
47
excludes these items, increased $8.4 million, or 34.6%, to $32.6 million, during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Adjusted earnings per–diluted share totaled $0.72 and $0.63 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, as a result of both organic growth and growth generated from the strategic acquisition of Vista. | ||
● | Pre-provision net revenue FTE totaled $32.1 million and $42.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Adjusted pre-provision net revenue FTE, which excludes acquisition and restructuring expenses, increased $5.5 million, or 13.1%, to $47.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year. | |
● | | The return on average assets totaled 0.70% and 0.99% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Excluding acquisition and restructuring expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2026, the adjusted return on average tangible assets increased 11 basis points to 1.20%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. |
● | | The return on average equity was 5.02% and 7.42% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Excluding acquisition and restructuring expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2026, the adjusted return on average tangible common equity increased 115 basis points to 11.79%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. |
Loan portfolio
● | Loans increased $2.2 billion, or 29.3%, to $9.6 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025. The increase was driven by record quarterly loan fundings totaling $805.5 million in addition to acquired Vista loans totaling $1.9 billion. | |
● | The Company maintained a conservatively structured loan portfolio represented by diverse industries and industry sector concentrations at 15% or less of total loans and all concentration levels remain well below our self-imposed limits. | |
● | Non-owner occupied CRE loans, which are comprised of multiple industry sectors, were 164.7% of the Company’s risk based capital, or 26.4% of total loans, and no specific property type comprised more than 7.0% of total loans at March 31, 2026. | |
● | The Company maintains a low level of non-owner occupied CRE retail properties and office properties. Including available credit, non-owner occupied CRE retail properties and office properties comprised 4.0% and 2.3% of total loans, respectively, at March 31, 2026. Multifamily loans totaled $320.3 million, or 3.3% of total loans at March 31, 2026. | |
● | We do not originate high-dollar non-amortizing or balloon payment mortgage loans to our clients. |
Credit quality
● | Allowance for credit losses totaled 1.18% of total loans at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. | |
● | | The Company continued to prudently manage credit risk in 2026, further strengthening our credit profile. Non-performing loans improved three basis points to 0.31% of total loans at March 31 2026, compared to 0.34% at December 31, 2025. |
● | Criticized loans decreased $10.7 million, or 3.4%, to $303.6 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025. | |
● | Provision expense for credit losses totaled $4.0 million and $10.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. | |
● | | Net charge-offs of $7.7 million and $15.1 million were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and annualized net charge-offs to average total loans totaled 0.34% and 0.80% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. |
Deposits
● | Average total deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $1.8 billion to $10.1 billion, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was driven by $2.2 billion of total deposits, on a spot basis, related to the Vista acquisition. | |
● | Average transaction deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $1.6 billion to $8.8 billion, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, driven by $2.0 billion of transaction deposits, on a spot basis, related to the Vista acquisition. | |
● | | The mix of transaction deposits to total deposits increased 19 basis points to 87.6% at March 31, 2026, compared to March 31, 2025. |
● | Cost of deposits improved nine basis points to 1.94% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, as a result of our disciplined deposit pricing. | |
● | Approximately 63% of our deposits were FDIC insured at March 31, 2026. |
48
Liquidity
● | The Company prudently manages liquidity and maintains a profile focused on core deposits and stable, long-term and diversified funding sources, including access to Cambr platform deposits. The Company maintains an investment portfolio with a short average duration and targets a neutral interest rate position. | |
● | On-balance sheet liquidity totaled $1.1 billion at March 31, 2026 and was comprised of $472.8 million of cash and $608.9 million of unencumbered investments. | |
● | Liquidity is monitored and managed to ensure that sufficient funds are available on demand to meet our business needs. At March 31, 2026, the Company’s available secured and committed borrowing capacity at the FHLB and FRB totaled $3.8 billion. The Company also accesses a variety of other short-term and long-term unsecured funding sources, which include access to Cambr platform deposits, multiple brokered deposit platform options and lines of credit. | |
● | Our investment securities portfolio has a short average duration and is entirely backed by U.S. government agencies or GSEs, which we believe mitigates the risk of material losses. Regarding the fair value of investment securities, our accumulated other comprehensive loss does not have a material impact on our capital position. |
Revenues
● | | Net interest income FTE increased 25.3% to $111.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $88.6 million during the same period in the prior year. |
● | | The net interest margin FTE expanded 13 basis points to 4.06% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, driven by a five basis point increase in earning asset yields and a nine basis point improvement in the cost of funds. The cost of funds totaled 1.98% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 2.07% during the three months ended March 31, 2025. |
● | During the three months ended March 31, 2026, non-interest income increased $2.6 million, or 16.9%, to $18.0 million, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by increases in our diversified sources of fee income including swap fee income, Cambr fee income, and trust income. |
Expenses
● | | Non-interest expense totaled $96.8 million, which included $15.3 million of acquisition and restructuring expenses, during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Non-interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2025 totaled $62.0 million. Excluding the acquisition and restructuring expenses, adjusted non-interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $19.5 million, or 31.4%, to $81.5 million, primarily due to an increase in core operating expenses driven by growth from our recent acquisition. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $5.0 million primarily driven by the 2UniFi capitalized asset depreciation in connection with the launch of 2UniFi in the third quarter of 2025. |
● | During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the efficiency ratio FTE totaled 75.1%, compared to 59.6% for the same period in the prior year. The adjusted efficiency ratio FTE totaled 61.3%, compared to 57.7% during the same period in the prior year. | |
● | | Income tax expense totaled $5.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $5.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 19.9%, compared to 18.0% for the full year 2025. |
Capital
● | The Company paid dividends of $0.32 per common share during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and declared a quarterly dividend of $0.32 per common share during the second quarter of 2026. | |
● | On January 27, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $100.0 million of the Company’s stock. This new program replaces the old stock repurchase program approved in May of 2023 in its entirety. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 401,869 shares of common stock for $16.1 million at a weighted average price per share of $40.07. The remaining authorization under the 2026 program as of March 31, 2026 was $83.9 million. | |
● | | Capital ratios continue to be well in excess of federal bank regulatory agency “well capitalized” thresholds, after deploying capital for the Vista acquisition. At March 31, 2026, our consolidated tier 1 leverage ratio was 10.45%, and our consolidated common equity tier 1 and tier 1 risk based capital ratios were 12.51%. |
49
● | The ratio of total shareholders’ equity to total assets was 13.2% at March 31, 2026, compared to 14.0% at December 31, 2025. Our tangible common equity capital ratio totaled 9.6% at March 31, 2026, compared to 11.0% at December 31, 2025, after deploying capital for the Vista acquisition. |
Key Challenges
Macroeconomic pressures have resulted in volatility and uncertainty in the banking industry and many other industries. Liquidity within the financial services sector remains tight, and we expect the intense competition for deposits throughout our markets to continue. While these are widespread challenges for the banking industry, the Company has not experienced a material impact to our financial condition, operations, client base, liquidity, capital position or risk profile.
Additionally, we face continual challenges implementing our business strategy. These include growing our assets, particularly loans, and deposits amidst intense competition, changing interest rates, adhering to changes in the regulatory environment and identifying and consummating disciplined acquisition and other expansionary opportunities in a competitive and inflationary environment. We will continue to make investments in our digital growth strategy and our digital financial ecosystem 2UniFi, and may also seek to partner with third parties to accelerate growth. 2UniFi may prove difficult to successfully scale and may require additional operational and control systems to manage fraud, cybersecurity, operational, legal and compliance risks.
While Vista integration activities are progressing and remain on track, acquisition integrations present operational and execution challenges. Integration activities require ongoing investments in systems, processes, and personnel. While the acquisition supports our long term growth strategy, the integration process may be more costly or time consuming than anticipated.
Future growth in our interest income will ultimately be dependent on our ability to originate high-quality loans and source other high-quality earning assets such as investment securities as well as our ability to access liquidity and manage our cost of funds. Over the past two years, the Federal Reserve lowered the prevailing interest rates by 175 basis points. While further rate changes remain unclear, our future earnings will be impacted by the Federal Reserve’s future interest rate policy decisions. Management employs risk management policies to monitor and limit exposure to changes in market rates, which is discussed in more detail in the Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations
About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain financial measures and ratios presented are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. We refer to these financial measures and ratios as “non-GAAP financial measures.” We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results. We believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and you should not rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. The non-GAAP financial measures we present may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by our peers or other companies. We compensate for these differences by providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever we present the non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of the impact of the components adjusted for in the non-GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual components may be considered when analyzing our performance.
Reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures are as follows:

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates
We use accounting principles and methods that conform to GAAP and general banking practices. We are required to apply significant judgment and make material estimates in the preparation of our financial statements and with regard to various accounting, reporting and disclosure matters. Assumptions and estimates are required to apply these principles where actual measurement is not possible or practical. The most significant of these estimates is described below.
Acquired loans
ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, requires all acquired loans be recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. The fair value for acquired loans at the time of acquisition is based on a variety of factors including discounted expected cash flows, adjusted for estimated prepayments and credit losses. In accordance with ASC 326, the fair value adjustment is recorded as premium or discount to the unpaid principal balance of each acquired loan. The net premium or discount on loans includes credit quality and interest rate considerations and is accreted or amortized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan using the level yield method. The Company early adopted ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans on January 1, 2026. That update amends the guidance in ASC 326 related to the accounting for purchased loans so that loans are recorded at their purchase price plus an allowance for expected credit losses, commonly known as the gross-up method.
Allowance for credit losses
The determination of the ACL, which represents management’s estimate of lifetime credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio at the balance sheet date, involves a high degree of judgment and complexity. The Company estimates the ACL by first disaggregating the loan portfolio into segments based upon broad characteristics such as primary use and underlying collateral. Within these segments, the portfolio is further disaggregated into classes of loans with similar attributes and risk characteristics. The ACL is determined at the class level, analyzing loss history based upon specific loss drivers and risk factors affecting each loan class. The Company utilizes a DCF model developed within a third-party software tool that incorporates forecasts of certain national macroeconomic factors (reasonable and supportable forecasts) which drive the losses predicted in establishing the Company’s ACL. Management accounts for the inherent uncertainty of the underlying economic forecast by reviewing and weighting alternate forecast scenarios. For periods beyond the reasonable and supportable forecast period, the Company reverts to historical long-term average loss rates on a straight-line basis. Additionally, the ACL calculation includes subjective adjustments for qualitative risk factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses to differ from historical experience. Changes in these assumptions, estimates or the conditions surrounding them may have a material impact on our financial condition.
Future Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-scope Improvements. The update amends the guidance in ASC 270 to improve the required interim disclosures and clarify when that guidance is applicable as well as clarify disclosures that should be provided in interim reporting periods. The guidance also requires entities to disclose events taking place after the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact. The standard is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact from ASU 2025-11 and does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements. The update includes targeted changes to the guidance in ASC 815 to better reflect risk management, reduce complexity and align with economic reality. The update will allow grouping of hedged items for forecasts with similar risk, more flexibility for variable-rate debt and simplified accounting for certain complex hedges, including swaps and options. It primarily affects cash flow hedges. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance must be adopted on a prospective basis, and there are transition provisions designed to assist in migrating existing hedging relationships to the new guidance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact from ASU 2025-09 and does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The update requires public business entities to disclose specific components of certain expense categories. This includes expense categories such as employee compensation, depreciation,
55
and intangible asset amortization. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and are to be applied on a prospective basis with an option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated the impact from ASU 2024-03 and does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements apart from the inclusion of additional disclosures.
Financial Condition
As of March 31, 2026, the Vista acquisition added $2.5 billion of total assets, including $339.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, $145.5 million of investment securities, $1.9 billion of loans and $29.5 million of allowance for credit losses. The acquisition also included total deposits of $2.2 billion.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, nearly all the available-for-sale investment portfolio was backed by mortgages. The residential mortgage pass-through securities portfolio is comprised of both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA securities. The other MBS are comprised of securities backed by FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA securities.

Mortgage-backed securities may have actual maturities that differ from contractual maturities depending on the repayment characteristics and experience of the underlying financial instruments. The estimated weighted average life of the available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities portfolio was 4.3 years and 4.6 years at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. This estimate is based on assumptions and actual results may differ. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the duration of the total available-for-sale investment portfolio was 3.6 years and 3.9 years, respectively.
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, adjustable-rate securities comprised 2.8% and 0.6%, respectively, of the available-for-sale MBS portfolio. The remainder of the portfolio was comprised of fixed-rate amortizing securities with 10- to 30-year contractual maturities, with a weighted average coupon of 2.46% per annum and 2.30% per annum at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The available-for-sale investment portfolio included $63.2 million of unrealized losses and $0.8 million of unrealized gains at March 31, 2026. At December 31, 2025, the available-for-sale investment portfolio included $60.2 million of unrealized losses and $2.9 million of unrealized gains. We believe any unrealized losses are a result of prevailing interest rates, and as such, we do not believe that any of the securities with unrealized losses were impaired. Management believes that default of the available-for-sale securities is highly unlikely. FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA guaranteed mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury securities have a long history of zero credit losses, an explicit guarantee by the U.S. government (although limited for FNMA and FHLMC securities) and yields that generally trade based on market views of prepayment and liquidity risk rather than credit risk.
Our investment security portfolio consists of high-quality securities, which are largely backed by either U.S. government agencies or GSEs. We regularly model liquidity stress scenarios to assess potential liquidity issues.
Held-to-maturity
Held-to-maturity investment securities totaled $757.4 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $651.7 million at December 31, 2025, an increase of $105.6 million, or 16.2%. Purchases during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 totaled $137.9 million and $190.6 million, respectively. Maturities and paydowns of held-to-maturity securities totaled $32.8 million and $17.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The residential mortgage pass-through and other residential MBS held-to-maturity investment portfolios are comprised of fixed-rate FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA securities.
The fair value of the held-to-maturity investment portfolio included $59.6 million of unrealized losses and $1.3 million of unrealized gains at March 31, 2026. At December 31, 2025, the held-to-maturity investment portfolio included $57.3 million of unrealized losses and $3.0 million of unrealized gains.
The Company does not measure expected credit losses on a financial asset, or groups of financial assets, in which historical credit loss information adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts results in an expectation that nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is zero. Management evaluated held-to-maturity securities noting they are backed by loans guaranteed by either U.S. government agencies or GSEs, and management believes that default is highly unlikely given this governmental backing and long history without credit losses. Additionally, management notes that yields on which the portfolio generally trades are based upon
57
market views of prepayment and liquidity risk and not credit risk. The Company has no intention to sell the securities and believes it will not be required to sell the securities before the recovery of their amortized cost.
Mortgage-backed securities may have actual maturities that differ from contractual maturities depending on the repayment characteristics and experience of the underlying financial instruments. The estimated weighted average expected life of the held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities portfolio as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was 3.9 years and 4.3 years, respectively. This estimate is based on assumptions and actual results may differ. The duration of the total held-to-maturity investment portfolio was 3.3 years and 3.6 years as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

The Company maintains a granular and well-diversified loan portfolio with self-imposed concentration limits. At March 31, 2026, loans totaled $9.6 billion, compared to $7.4 billion at December 31, 2025. The increase was driven by record quarterly loan fundings totaling $805.5 million on top of acquired Vista loans totaling $1.9 billion.
Our commercial and industrial loan portfolio is highly diversified across industry sectors and geography. At March 31, 2026, there were no industry sectors representing more than 15.0% of our total loan portfolio. Key sectors included government/non-profit loans of $1.0 billion, or 10.7% of total loans, and health care/hospital loans of $488.0 million, or 5.1% of total loans. The commercial and industrial portfolio also includes loans to companies that operate in the transportation industry. The transportation industry, trucking in particular, has experienced recent economic challenges. As a result of these industry challenges, some of the transportation loans may be subject to higher credit risk. The Company has intentionally reduced exposure to this industry to $130.1 million, or 1.4% of total loans, at March 31, 2026.
Non-owner occupied CRE loans were 163.1% of the Company’s risk based capital, or 26.4% of total loans, and no specific property type comprised more than 7.0% of total loans. The Company maintains limited exposure to non-owner occupied CRE retail properties and office properties, comprising 4.0% and 2.3% of total loans, respectively, including available credit. Multifamily loans totaled $324.9 million, including available credit, or 3.4% of total loans, as of March 31, 2026.
The agriculture industry continues to be impacted by volatile commodity prices and generally by higher input costs, combining to stress margins. Our food and agribusiness portfolio is 2.4% of total loans and is well-diversified across food production, crop and livestock types. Crop and livestock loans represent 0.7% of total loans. We have maintained relationships with food and agribusiness
59
clients that generally possess low leverage and, correspondingly, low bank debt to assets, minimizing potential credit losses in the future.
New loan origination is a direct result of our ability to recruit and retain top banking talent, connect with clients in our markets and provide needed services at competitive rates. Loan fundings totaled $2.1 billion over the trailing 12 months, led by commercial loan fundings of $1.4 billion. Loan fundings during the three months ended March 31, 2026 totaled a record $805.5 million. Fundings are defined as closed-end funded loans and revolving lines of credit advances, net of any current period paydowns. Management utilizes this more conservative definition of fundings to better approximate the impact of fundings on loans outstanding and ultimately net interest income.
The following table represents new loan fundings for the periods presented:

Asset quality
Asset quality is fundamental to our success and remains a strong point, driven by our disciplined adherence to our self-imposed concentration limits across industry sector and real estate property type. Accordingly, for the origination of loans, we have established a credit policy that allows for responsive, yet controlled lending with credit approval requirements that are scaled to loan size. Within the scope of the credit policy, each prospective loan is reviewed in order to determine the appropriateness and the adequacy of the loan characteristics and the security or collateral prior to making a loan. We have established underwriting standards and loan origination procedures that require appropriate documentation, including financial data and credit reports. For loans secured by real property, we require property appraisals, title insurance or a title opinion, hazard insurance and flood insurance, in each case where appropriate.
Additionally, we have implemented procedures to timely identify loans that may become problematic in order to ensure the most beneficial resolution for the Company. Asset quality is monitored by our credit risk management department and evaluated based on quantitative and subjective factors such as the timeliness of contractual payments received. Additional factors that are considered, particularly with commercial loans over $500,000, include the financial condition and liquidity of individual borrowers and guarantors, if any, and the value of our collateral. To facilitate the oversight of asset quality, loans are categorized based on the number of days past due and on an internal risk rating system, as discussed in more detail below.
The Company’s policy is to review each prospective credit to determine the appropriateness and the adequacy of security or collateral prior to making a loan. In the event of borrower default, the Company seeks recovery in compliance with lending laws, the respective loan agreements, and credit monitoring and remediation procedures that may include modifying a loan to provide a concession by the Company to the borrower from their original terms due to borrower financial difficulties in order to facilitate repayment. Loan modifications may include principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, other-than-insignificant-payment delays, term extensions or any combination thereof. Modified loans are discussed further in note 6 of our consolidated financial statements. Assets that have been foreclosed on or acquired through deed-in-lieu of foreclosure are classified as OREO until sold, and are carried at the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell, with any initial valuation adjustments charged to the ACL and any subsequent declines in carrying value charged to impairments on OREO.
Non-performing assets and past due loans
Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans and OREO. Interest income that would have been recorded had non-accrual loans performed in accordance with their original contract terms during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively.
Past due status is monitored as an indicator of credit deterioration. Loans are considered past due or delinquent when the contractual principal or interest due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement remains unpaid after the due date of the scheduled payment. Loans that are 90 days or more past due are put on non-accrual status unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection.

At March 31, 2026, non-performing loans to total loans improved three basis points to 0.31%, compared to December 31, 2025. Loans 30-89 days past due and still accruing interest were 0.22% and 0.16% of total loans at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest were 0.28% and 0.21% of total loans at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Non-performing assets to total loans and OREO improved one basis point to 0.35%, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025.
Allowance for credit losses
The ACL represents the amount that we believe is necessary to absorb estimated lifetime credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date and involves a high degree of judgment and complexity. The Company utilizes a DCF model developed within a third-party software tool to establish expected lifetime credit losses for the loan portfolio. The ACL is calculated as the difference between the amortized cost basis and the projections from the DCF analysis. The DCF model allows for individual lifetime loan cash flow modeling, excluding extensions and renewals, using loan-specific interest rates and repayment schedules including estimated prepayment rates and loss recovery timing delays. The model incorporates forecasts of certain national macro-economic factors, including unemployment rates, HPI, retail sales and GDP, which drive correlated loss rates. The determination and application of the ACL accounting policy involves judgments, estimates and uncertainties that are subject to change. For periods beyond the reasonable and supportable forecast period, the Company reverts to historical long-term average loss rates on a straight-line basis.
We measure expected credit losses for groups of loans included in segments with similar risk characteristics. We have identified four primary loan segments within the ACL model that are further stratified into 11 loan classes to provide more granularity in analyzing loss history and to allow for more definitive qualitative adjustments based upon specific risk factors affecting each loan class. Generally, the underlying risk of loss for each of these loan segments will follow certain norms/trends in various economic environments. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are not included in the collective evaluation. Following are the loan classes within each of the four primary loan segments:
Non-owner occupied | ||||||
Commercial | commercial real estate | Residential real estate | Consumer | |||
Commercial and industrial | Construction | Senior lien | Consumer | |||
Owner occupied commercial real estate | Acquisition and development | Junior lien | ||||
Food and agribusiness | Multifamily | |||||
Municipal and non-profit | Non-owner occupied |
Loans on non-accrual, in bankruptcy and modified loans with a balance greater than $250 thousand are excluded from the pooled analysis and are evaluated individually. If management determines that foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses are evaluated based on the criteria listed below, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. Typically, these loans consist of commercial, commercial
63
real estate and agriculture loans and exclude homogeneous loans such as residential real estate and consumer loans. Specific allowances are determined by collectively analyzing:
● | | the borrower’s resources, ability and willingness to repay in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement; |
● | | the likelihood of receiving financial support from any guarantors; |
● | | the adequacy and present value of future cash flows, less disposal costs, of any collateral; and |
● | | the impact current economic conditions may have on the borrower’s financial condition and liquidity or the value of the collateral. |
The resulting ACL for loans is calculated as the sum of the general reserves, specific reserves on individually evaluated loans, and qualitative factor adjustments. While these amounts are calculated by individual loan or by segment and class, the entire ACL is available for any loan that, in our judgment, should be charged off. The determination and application of the ACL accounting policy involves judgments, estimates, and uncertainties that are subject to change. Changes in these assumptions, estimates or the conditions surrounding them may have a material impact on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the allowance for credit losses totaled $113.5 million and $87.4 million, respectively. As a result of the Vista acquisition, the Company recorded $29.5 million of allowance for credit losses for the loans acquired. The remaining increase during the three months ended March 31, 2026, excluding net charge-offs, was primarily driven by loan growth. Specific reserves on individually evaluated loans totaled $14.4 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $8.1 million at December 31, 2025.
Net charge-offs on loans during the three months ended March 31, 2026 totaled $7.7 million. The ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average total loans totaled 0.34%. Net charge-offs on loans during the three months ended March 31, 2025 totaled $15.1 million, and the ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average total loans totaled 0.80%.
The Company has elected to exclude AIR from the ACL calculation. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, AIR from loans totaled $51.9 million and $38.3 million, respectively. When a loan is placed on non-accrual, any recorded AIR is reversed against interest income.
Total ACL
After considering the above-mentioned factors, we believe that the ACL of $113.5 million is adequate to cover estimated lifetime losses inherent in the loan portfolio at March 31, 2026. However, it is likely that future adjustments to the ACL will be necessary. Any changes to the underlying assumptions, circumstances or estimates, including but not limited to changes in the underlying macro-economic forecast, used in determining the ACL, could negatively or positively affect the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

Long-term debt
During February 2026, the Company closed a public offering of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes totaling $150.0 million. The balance on the notes at March 31, 2026, net of long-term debt issuance costs of $2.7 million, totaled $147.3 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, interest expense totaling $1.2 million was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. From the issue date to February 15, 2031, or the date of earlier redemption, the Company will pay interest on the notes semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on August 15, 2026, at a fixed annual interest rate equal to 5.875%. From February 15, 2031 to the maturity date, or the date of earlier redemption, the floating interest rate per annum will be equal to the three-month term SOFR plus a spread of 241 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on May 15, 2031. The notes will mature on February 15, 2036. The Company may, at its option, redeem the notes in whole or in part beginning with the interest payment date of February 15, 2031 and on any interest payment date thereafter. The Company deployed the net proceeds from the sale of the notes for general corporate purposes.
The Company also holds a fixed-to-floating rate note totaling $40.0 million. The balance on the note at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, net of long-term debt issuance costs totaling $0.1 million, totaled $40.0 million.

Regulatory Capital
Our subsidiary banks and the holding company are subject to the regulatory capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC, as applicable. Failure to meet the minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly further discretionary actions by regulators that could have a material adverse effect on us. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our subsidiary banks and the consolidated holding company exceeded all capital ratio requirements under prompt corrective action and other regulatory requirements, as further detailed in note 10 of our consolidated financial statements.
Results of Operations
Our net income depends largely on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income from interest earning assets and interest expense on interest bearing liabilities. Our results of operations are also affected by provisions for credit losses and non-interest income, such as service charges, bank card income, swap fee income, and gain on sale of mortgages. Our primary operating expenses, aside from interest expense, consist of salaries and benefits, occupancy costs, telecommunications data processing expense, FDIC deposit insurance and intangible assets amortization. Any expenses related to the resolution of problem assets are also included in non-interest expense.
Overview of results of operations
Net income totaled $20.8 million and $24.2 million, or $0.46 and $0.63 per diluted share, during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Pre-provision net revenue FTE totaled $32.1 million and $42.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The return on average tangible assets was 0.79% and 1.09% during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and the return on average tangible common equity was 7.75% and 10.64%, respectively.
67
Adjusting for pre-tax acquisition-related and restructuring expenses totaling $15.3 million, net income totaled $32.6 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The adjusted return on average tangible assets was 1.20% during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and the adjusted return on average tangible common equity was 11.79%.
Net interest income
We regularly review net interest income metrics to provide us with indicators of how the various components of net interest income are performing. We regularly review (i) our loan mix and the yield on loans; (ii) the investment portfolio and the related yields; (iii) our deposit mix and the cost of deposits; and (iv) net interest income simulations for various forecast periods.
The effects of trade-date accounting of investment securities for which the cash had not settled are not considered interest earning assets and are excluded from this presentation for timeframes prior to their cash settlement, as are the market value adjustments on the investment securities available-for-sale and loans.

Net interest income on an FTE basis increased $22.4 million, or 25.3%, to $111.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the FTE net interest margin expanded 13 basis points to 4.06%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, driven by a five basis point increase in earning asset yields and a nine basis point improvement in the cost of funds. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the cost of funds improved nine basis points to 1.98%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Average loans comprised $9.3 billion, or 83.6%, of total average interest earning assets during the three months ended March 31, 2026. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, average loans comprised $7.7 billion, or 84.1%, of total average interest earning assets. Average acquired loans increased $1.6 billion as a result of the Vista acquisition.
Average investment securities comprised 12.5% and 14.8% of total interest earning assets during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Average interest bearing cash balances totaled $375.5 million and $48.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Average interest bearing liabilities increased $1.5 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher interest bearing demand, savings and money market deposits totaling $1.3 billion, time deposits totaling $293.2 million, and long-term debt totaling $80.7 million. The increase was partially offset by decreases in FHLB advances totaling $98.8 million and other borrowings totaling $20.3 million.
The Vista acquisition added $2.2 billion of total deposits, including $2.0 of transaction deposits and $0.2 billion of time deposits on January 7, 2026.

Provision for credit losses
The provision for credit losses represents the amount of expense that is necessary to bring the ACL to a level that we deem appropriate to absorb estimated lifetime losses inherent in the loan portfolio and estimated losses inherent in unfunded loans as of the balance sheet date. The determination of the ACL, and the resultant provision for credit losses, is subjective and involves significant estimates and assumptions.
The Company recorded provision expense for credit losses totaling $4.0 million, including $4.3 million provision expense for funded loans and $0.3 million of provision release for unfunded loan commitments, during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Provision expense for credit losses during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily driven by loan growth during the quarter. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded provision expense for credit losses totaling $10.2 million,
70
including $10.9 million of provision expense for funded loans and $0.7 million of provision release for unfunded loan commitments. The allowance for credit losses totaled 1.18% of total loans at March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Non-interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2026 included $15.3 million of acquisition and restructuring expenses. Excluding these items, the current quarter adjusted non-interest expense totaled $81.5 million, increasing from the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to an increase in core operating expense growth from our recent acquisition. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $5.0 million primarily driven by the 2UniFi capitalized asset depreciation in connection with the launch of 2UniFi in the third quarter of 2025.
Income taxes
Income tax expense totaled $5.2 million and $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was 19.9% and 18.8%, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Liquidity risk management is an important element in our asset/liability management. The Company maintains a robust liquidity profile at its holding company and the Banks collectively as well as separately. The Company is prudently managing liquidity in the current environment and maintains a liquidity profile focused on core deposits and stable long-term funding sources. Liquidity is supplemented with a variety of secured and unsecured wholesale funding sources across the maturity spectrum, which allows for the effective management of concentration and rollover risk. The Company’s corporate treasury team measures liquidity needs through daily cash monitoring, weekly cash projections and monthly liquidity measures reviewed in conjunction with Board-approved liquidity policy limits. The Company also regularly conducts stress tests to its Board-approved contingency funding plan to assess potential liquidity outflows or funding concerns resulting from economic disruptions, volatility in the financial markets, unexpected credit events or other significant occurrences deemed problematic by management. These scenarios are incorporated into the contingency funding plan, which provides the basis for the identification of our liquidity needs and are monitored monthly by our Asset and Liability Committee.
The Company’s primary sources of funds include revenue from interest income and noninterest income as well as cash flows from loan repayments, payments from securities related to maturities and amortization, the sale of loans, and funds generated by deposits, in addition to the use of funds from debt offerings.
On-balance sheet liquidity is represented by our cash and cash equivalents, and unencumbered investment securities, and is detailed in the table below as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||||
Cash and due from banks | $ | 472,791 | $ | 417,058 | ||
Unencumbered investment securities, at fair value | 608,869 | 466,935 | ||||
Total | $ | 1,081,660 | $ | 883,993 | ||
Total on-balance sheet liquidity increased $197.7 million at March 31, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025, due to higher unencumbered investment securities of $142.0 million and higher cash and due from banks of $55.7 million. As of March 31, 2026, approximately $745.5 million of investment securities were pledged to secure client deposits and repurchase agreements.
The Company’s investment portfolio remains positioned in liquid and readily marketable instruments and is a significant source of on-balance sheet collateral to secure borrowing capacity. Our investment securities portfolio is evaluated under established Asset and Liability Committee objectives and is structured as a liquidity portfolio, and only security fair values are used for the liquidity assessment. The fair value of total investment securities was $1.3 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to $1.1 billion at December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, the fair value was inclusive of pre-tax net unrealized losses of $62.3 million on the available-for-sale securities portfolio. Additionally, our held-to-maturity securities portfolio had $58.3 million of pre-tax net unrealized losses. The gross unrealized gains and losses are detailed in note 4 of our consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2026, our investment securities portfolio consisted primarily of MBS, all of which were issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or sponsored enterprises. The anticipated repayments and marketability of these securities offer substantial resources and flexibility to meet new loan demand, reinvest in the investment securities portfolio, or provide optionality for reductions in our deposit funding base. At March 31, 2026, the duration of the investment securities portfolio was 3.4 years and the weighted average life was 4.1 years.
As part of its liquidity management activities, the Company pledges collateral at its secured funding providers to ensure immediate availability of funding, which includes maintaining borrowing capacity at both the FHLB and the Federal Reserve. The Company does not consider borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve a primary source of funding; however, it could be used as a potential source of funds in a stressed environment or during a market disruption. The amount of available contingent secured borrowing capacity may
72
fluctuate based on the level of borrowings outstanding and level of assets pledged. The table below details those amounts as of the dates shown:
March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||||
Available FHLB borrowing capacity | $ | 1,991,667 | $ | 1,536,090 | ||
Federal Reserve Bank discount window | 1,808,998 | 1,416,059 | ||||
Total off-balance sheet funds available | $ | 3,800,665 | $ | 2,952,149 | ||
The Company had pledged $6.0 billion and $4.3 billion of loans as collateral to the FHLB and FRB discount window at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. FHLB borrowing capacity totaled $2.0 billion and $1.5 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. At March 31, 2026, the Company had no outstanding FHLB borrowings, leaving undrawn borrowing capacity of $2.0 billion. At December 31, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings with the FHLB, leaving undrawn borrowing capacity of $1.5 billion. At March 31, 2026, the Company’s available secured and committed borrowing capacity at the FHLB and Federal Reserve totaled $3.8 billion, compared to $3.0 billion at December 31, 2025.
In addition to core deposit and secured funding, the Company also accesses a variety of other short-term and long-term unsecured funding sources, which includes access to Cambr platform deposits, multiple brokered deposit platform options and lines of credit. Management does not rely on any one source of liquidity and manages availability in response to changing balance sheet needs, as well as within prudently defined concentration and policy limits. The Company executes periodic test trades to assess the level of access and operational processes associated with its secured and unsecured funding sources.
We anticipate that the sources of funds discussed above will provide adequate funding and liquidity for at least a 12-month period and the foreseeable future, and we may utilize any combination of these funding sources for long-term liquidity needs if deemed prudent.
Our primary uses of funds are loan fundings, investment security purchases, withdrawals of deposits, capital expenditures, operating expenses, and share repurchases. Additionally, $89.0 million was paid as cash consideration in connection with the Vista acquisition on January 7, 2026.
At present, financing activities primarily consist of changes in deposits and repurchase agreements, and advances from the FHLB, in addition to the payment of dividends and the repurchase of our common stock. Maturing time deposits represent a potential use of funds. As of March 31, 2026, $1.2 billion of time deposits were scheduled to mature within 12 months. Based on the current interest rate environment and market conditions, our consumer banking strategy is to focus on attracting and maintaining both lower-cost transaction accounts and time deposits.
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company issued and sold $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes at a public offering price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes. The net proceeds from the sale of the notes to the Company were approximately $147.3 million, after giving effect to the underwriting discount of 1.25% and estimated expenses of the offering of the notes. The Company intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.
The Company also holds other fixed-to-floating notes. The balance on all subordinated notes totaled $202.1 million and $54.5 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Capital
Under the Basel III requirements, at March 31, 2026, the Company, NBH Bank and BOJHT met all capital adequacy requirements, and the Banks had regulatory capital ratios in excess of the levels established for well-capitalized institutions. For more information on regulatory capital, see note 10 in our consolidated financial statements.
Our shareholders’ equity is impacted by earnings, changes in unrealized gains and losses on securities, net of tax, stock-based compensation activity, share repurchases, shares issued in connection with acquisitions and the payment of dividends. On January 7, 2026, the Company issued 7.3 million new shares of common stock as part of the consideration related to the Vista acquisition.
The Board of Directors has authorized multiple programs to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable regulations of the SEC. On January 27, 2026, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program under which the Company may
73
repurchase up to $100.0 million of its common stock. The new program replaces in its entirety the stock repurchase program that was authorized by the Board of Directors and announced on May 9, 2023. The timing and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by the Company’s management based on market conditions and other factors. No time limit has been set for completion of the program. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 401,869 shares of common stock for $16.1 million at a weighted average price per share of $40.07. The remaining authorization under the program as of March 31, 2026 was $83.9 million.
On May 7, 2026, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.32 per common share, payable on June 15, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 29, 2026.
Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk
The Board of Directors meets as often as necessary, but no less than quarterly, to review financial statements, significant accounting policy changes, liquidity, interest rate risk and asset and liability management. The Board also oversees the performance of our internal audit function as well as serves as an independent and objective body to monitor and assess our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements as well as internal control systems. Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for managing interest rate risk and employing risk management policies that monitor and limit this exposure. Interest rate risk is measured using net interest income simulations and market value of portfolio equity analyses. These analyses use various assumptions, including the nature and timing of interest rate changes, yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, and reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows.
Interest rate risk results from the following:
● | Repricing risk — timing differences in the repricing and maturity of interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities; | |
● | Option risk — changes in the expected maturities of assets and liabilities, such as borrowers’ ability to prepay loans at any time and depositors’ ability to redeem certificates of deposit before maturity; | |
● | Yield curve risk — changes in the yield curve where interest rates increase or decrease in a nonparallel fashion; and | |
● | Basis risk — changes in spread relationships between different yield curves. |
The Asset Liability Committee, a cross-functional committee comprised of executive management and senior leaders, meets monthly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of the Company’s assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, local and national market conditions and interest rates. The Asset Liability Committee also reviews the liquidity, capital, deposit mix, loan mix and investment positions of the Company. The Company’s principal objective regarding asset and liability management is to evaluate interest rate risk within the balance sheet and pursue a controlled assumption of interest rate risk while preserving adequate levels of liquidity and capital.
Instantaneous parallel rate shift scenarios are modeled and utilized to evaluate risk and establish exposure limits for acceptable changes in net interest margin. These scenarios, known as rate shocks, simulate an instantaneous change in interest rates and utilize various assumptions, including, but not limited to, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment and replacement of asset and liability cash flows.
We also analyze the economic value of equity as a secondary measure of interest rate risk. This is a complementary measure to net interest income where the calculated value is the result of the market value of assets less the market value of liabilities. The economic value of equity is a longer term view of interest rate risk because it measures the present value of the future cash flows. The impact of changes in interest rates on this calculation is analyzed for the risk to our future earnings and is used in conjunction with the analyses on net interest income.
Our interest rate risk model indicated that the Company was in a slightly asset sensitive position in terms of interest rate sensitivity at March 31, 2026. The table below illustrates the impact of an immediate and sustained 200 and 100 basis point increase and a 100 and
74
200 basis point decrease in interest rates on net interest income based on the interest rate risk model at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
Hypothetical | ||||
shift in interest | % change in projected net interest income | |||
rates (in bps) | March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | ||
200 | 4.16% | 4.65% | ||
100 | 2.09% | 2.36% | ||
(100) | (1.08)% | (1.95)% | ||
(200) | (1.19)% | (3.13)% | ||
Many assumptions are used to calculate the impact of interest rate fluctuations. Actual results may be significantly different than our projections due to several factors, including the timing and frequency of rate changes, market conditions and the shape of the yield curve. The computations of interest rate risk shown above do not include actions that management may undertake to manage the risks in response to anticipated changes in interest rates and actual results may also differ due to any actions taken in response to the changing rates.
As part of the asset/liability management strategy to manage primary market risk exposures expected to be in effect in future reporting periods, management has executed interest rate derivatives primarily using floors and collars. For further discussion of the Company’s derivative contracts refer to note 15. The strategy with respect to liabilities has been to continue to emphasize transaction deposit growth, particularly non-interest or low interest bearing non-maturing deposit accounts while building long-term client relationships. Non-maturing deposit accounts totaled 87.6% of total deposits at March 31, 2026, compared to 86.1% at December 31, 2025.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
An inflationary environment may impact our financial performance and may impact our clients, including but not limited to impacts on assets, earnings, capital levels and growth opportunities. While we plan to continue our disciplined approach to expense management, an inflationary environment may cause wage pressures and general increases in our cost of doing business, which may increase our non-interest expense.
Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, changes in interest rates have a more significant impact on our performance than do changes in the general rate of inflation and changes in prices. Interest rate changes do not necessarily move in the same direction, nor have the same magnitude, as changes in the prices of goods and services.
Off-Balance Sheet Activities
In the normal course of business, we are a party to various contractual obligations, commitments and other off-balance sheet activities that contain credit, market, and operational risk that are not required to be reflected in our consolidated financial statements. The most significant of these are the loan commitments that we enter into to meet the financing needs of clients, including commitments to extend credit, commercial and consumer lines of credit and standby letters of credit. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had loan commitments totaling $1.4 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, and standby letters of credit totaling $125.8 million and $8.0 million, respectively. Unused commitments do not necessarily represent future credit exposure or cash requirements, as commitments often expire without being drawn upon.
