. In most cases, the offsetting derivatives have mirror-image terms, which result in the positions’ changes in fair value substantially offsetting through earnings each period. However, to the extent that the derivatives are not a mirror-image and because of differences in counterparty credit risk, changes in fair value will not completely offset resulting in some earnings impact each period. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are included in other non-interest income. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had commodity derivative transactions with an aggregate notional amount of approximately $2.1 million and $5.2 million, respectively, (all forward contracts with customers and third parties) related to this program. At June 30, 2025, these commodity derivatives had maturity dates ranging from July 2025 to October 2027.Foreign Currency Derivatives—The Company has foreign currency derivative contracts resulting from a service the Company provides to certain qualified customers. The Company’s banking subsidiaries execute certain derivative products directly with qualified customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies related to foreign currency fluctuations. For example, these arrangements allow the Company’s customers to effectively exchange the currency of one country for the currency of another country at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon settlement date.

However, to the extent that the derivatives are not a mirror-image and because of differences in counterparty credit risk, changes in fair value will not completely offset resulting in some earnings impact each period. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are included in other non-interest income. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company held foreign currency derivatives with an aggregate notional amount of approximately $117.5 million and $97.1 million, respectively.
