NOTE 15 — INCOME TAXESBancShares’ global effective income tax rates (“ETRs”) were 24.4% and 26.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 24.7% and 27.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in the ETR for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily due to an increase in tax credits and a reduction in the state and local income tax rate.

The currently forecasted ETR may vary from the actual year-end 2025 ETR due to the changes in these factors.On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law H.R. 1, referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”).
