Executive Summary

Comparison of Operating Results for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, unless otherwise noted

Net income in the first quarter of 2025 was $3,949, or $0.53 per diluted share, compared with $3,131, or $0.42 per diluted share, in the same quarter 2024. The non-GAAP measure of adjusted net income in the first quarter 2025 totaled $4,254, or $0.57 per diluted share, compared to $3,076 or $0.41 per diluted share, in the same quarter of 2024.The increase in net income for the comparative periods includes an increase in core loan interest income and a decline in provision for credit losses, offset by an increase in noninterest expenses.

Net interest income was $14,525 in the first quarter of 2025 and $13,242 in the same quarter of 2024, representing 3.06% and 2.79% of earning assets, or NIM on an FTE basis, respectively. The current year quarter NIM included a four basis point benefit due to the recovery of contractual interest from nonaccruing loans that paid off during the quarter. The book yield from securities was 2.20% and 2.25% during the first quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our yield on loans expanded to 5.71% in the first quarter 2025, up from 5.38% in the same quarter of 2024. Excluding loan recoveries, the yield on loans was 5.65%. The expansion in loan yields was a result of higher rates on new loans and variable rate commercial loans that have, and continue to, reprice. At the end of the first quarter 2025, approximately 39% of commercial loans are fixed at rates that are lower than current market rates. Most of those fixed rate loans will contractually reprice to variable rates over the next four years. Our cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 2.26% from 2.28% in the first quarter 2024 due to reductions to rates in the money market and certificate of deposit products. NIM continues to expand as loans reprice and the cost of interest bearing liabilities stabilizes.

The provision for credit losses was a credit of $107 in the first quarter of 2025, which reflects the $160 change
