Net Income
Net income was $22.3 million for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $4.0 million, or 21.9%, from $18.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Interest income totaled $71.0 million for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $10.7 million or 17.8%, from the previous quarter, primarily due to a $495.0 million increase in the average gross loans, $109.0 million for total average investments balance and a 32 basis point increase in loans yield.

Interest expense totaled $26.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $2.2 million, or 8.9%, from the previous quarter, primarily due to a $448.3 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits offset by a $17.6 million decrease in average borrowings and 10 basis point decrease in interest-bearing deposit costs. As compared to the first quarter of 2025, interest expense for the first quarter of 2026 increased by $4.5 million, or 20.7%, primarily due to a $695.3 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits balances and $46.3 million increase in average borrowing balances offset by a 24 basis point decrease in interest-bearing deposit costs and four basis point decrease in borrowing costs. The Company currently has interest rate derivative agreements totaling $625.0 million that are designated as cash flow hedges of our deposit accounts indexed to the Effective Federal Funds Rate (3.64% as of March 31, 2026). The weighted average pay rate for these interest rate derivatives is 2.78%. During the first quarter of 2026, we recorded a credit to interest expense of $2.3 million from the benefit received on these interest rate derivatives compared to a benefit of $2.9 million and $4.3 million recorded during the fourth quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2025, respectively.

Average earning assets for the first quarter of 2026 increased by $1.0 billion from the first quarter of 2025, due to a $188.0 million increase in average total investments and a $856.2 million increase in average loans. Average interest-bearing liabilities for the first quarter of 2026 increased by $741.6 million from the first quarter of 2025, driven by the increase in average interest-bearing deposits of $695.3 million, and $46.3 increase in average borrowings.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2026 was $6.4 million, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 18.7%, from the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily due to lower gains on sale from our residential mortgage loans, lower servicing income from our residential mortgage loans and other service changes, commission and fees, and other income from unrealized gains recognized by our equity securities, offset by higher gains on sale and servicing income from our Small Business Administration ("SBA") loans. SBA loan sales totaled $19.7 million (sales premium of 7.68%) during the first quarter of 2026 compared to $9.7 million (sales premium of 7.13%) during the fourth quarter of 2025. Mortgage loan originations totaled $101.9 million during the first quarter of 2026 compared to $111.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2025. There were no mortgage loan sales during the first quarter of 2026. Mortgage loans sales totaled $197.6 million (average sales premium 1.15%) during the fourth quarter of 2025.

We also recorded no fair value impairment charge on our mortgage servicing asset during the first quarter of 2026 compared to a $16,000 fair value impairment recovery recorded during the fourth quarter of 2025.
Compared to the first quarter of 2025, noninterest income for the first quarter of 2026 increased by $901,000, or 16.5%, primarily due to higher gains on sale and servicing income from our SBA loans and service charges on deposits accounts, offset by decreases in gains on sale and servicing income from our residential mortgage loans. During the first quarter of 2025, we recorded a $104,000 fair value adjustment charge on our SBA servicing assets.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $21.4 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 4.9%, from $20.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2025.

Compared to the first quarter of 2025, noninterest expense during the first quarter of 2026 increased by $7.6 million, or 55.4%, primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, data processing expense, security expense, loan expense, core deposit amortization expense and merger-related expenses.

In addition, our actual financial results in the future may differ from those currently expected due to additional risks and uncertainties of which we are not currently aware or which we do not currently view as, but in the future may become, material to our business or operating results.

Explanation of Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The measures entitled adjusted return on average shareholder's equity and tangible book value per share are not measures recognized under GAAP and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The most comparable GAAP measures are return on average shareholder's equity and book value per share, respectively. Adjusted return on average shareholder's equity excludes average accumulated other comprehensive income and merger-related expenses. Tangible book value per share excludes goodwill and core deposit intangibles.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of the Company's performance and believes these presentations provide useful supplemental information, and a clearer understanding of the Company's performance, and if not provided would be requested by the investor community. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures enhance investors' understanding of the Company's business and performance. These measures are also useful in understanding performance trends and facilitate comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. The limitations associated with operating measures are the risk that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items comprising these measures and that different companies might calculate these measures differently.
These disclosures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. The computations of adjusted return on average shareholder's equity and tangible book value per share and the reconciliation of these measures to return on average shareholder's equity and book value per share are set forth in the table below.
