As used in these notes, as well as in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, references to “the Corporation”, “Isabella”, “we”, “our”, “us”, and similar terms refer to the consolidated entity consisting of Isabella Bank Corporation and its subsidiary. References to Isabella Bank or “the Bank” refers to Isabella Bank Corporation’s subsidiary, Isabella Bank.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. For further information, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Certain amounts reported in the interim 2023 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2024 presentation. Our accounting policies are materially the same as those discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Expected maturities for government sponsored enterprises and states and political subdivisions may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations.

As the auction rate money market preferred investments have continual call dates, they are not reported by a specific maturity group. Because of their variable monthly payments, mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are not reported by a specific maturity group.

A summary of the sales activity of AFS securities is as follows for the:

Number of securities in an unrealized loss position: 22 186 208

The unrealized loss on our AFS securities portfolio resulted from the increase in short-term and intermediate-term interest rates.

As of September 30, 2024, no allowance for credit losses has been recognized on AFS securities in an unrealized loss position, as management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality. This is based on our analysis of the underlying risk characteristics, including credit ratings, and other qualitative factors related to our AFS securities and consideration of our historical credit loss experience and internal forecasts. The issuers of these securities continue to make timely principal and interest payments under the contractual terms of the securities. Furthermore, management does not intend to sell any of the securities classified as AFS in the table above, and believes it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. The unrealized losses are due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their respective maturity date or repricing date, or if the market yields for such investments decline.

We grant commercial, agricultural, residential real estate, and consumer loans to customers primarily in Bay, Clare, Gratiot, Isabella, Mecosta, Midland, Montcalm, and Saginaw counties in Michigan. The ability of borrowers to honor their repayment obligations is often dependent upon the real estate, agricultural, manufacturing, retail, gaming, tourism, health care, higher education, and general economic conditions of this region. Substantially all of our consumer and residential real estate loans are secured by various items of property, while commercial loans are secured primarily by real estate, business assets, and personal guarantees. A portion of loans are unsecured.

Loans that we have the intent and ability to hold in our portfolio are reported at their outstanding principal balance adjusted for any charge-offs, the ACL, and deferred fees or costs. Unless a loan has a nonaccrual status, interest income is accrued over the term of the loan based on the principal amount outstanding. Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are capitalized and recognized as a component of interest income over the term of the loan using the appropriate amortization method.

Table of Contents

Commercial and agricultural loans include loans for commercial real estate, commercial operating loans, advances to mortgage brokers, farmland and agricultural production, and loans to states and political subdivisions. Repayment of these loans is dependent upon the successful operation and management of a business. We minimize our risk by limiting the amount of direct credit exposure to any one borrower to $18,000. Borrowers with direct credit needs of more than $18,000 may be serviced through the use of loan participations with other commercial banks. Commercial and agricultural real estate loans commonly require loan-to-value limits of 80% or less. Depending upon the type of loan, past credit history, and current operating results, we may require the borrower to pledge accounts receivable, inventory, property, or equipment. Government agency guarantee may be required. Personal guarantees and/or life insurance beneficiary assignments are generally required from the owners of closely held corporations, partnerships, and sole proprietorships. In addition, we may require annual financial statements, prepare cash flow analyses, and review credit reports.

We offer adjustable rate mortgages, construction loans, and fixed rate residential real estate loans which have amortization periods up to a maximum of 30 years. We consider the anticipated direction of interest rates, balance sheet duration, the sensitivity of our balance sheet to changes in interest rates, our liquidity needs, and overall loan demand to determine whether or not to sell fixed rate loans to Freddie Mac.

Our lending policies generally limit the maximum loan-to-value ratio on residential real estate loans to 100% of the lower of the appraised value of the property or the purchase price. Private mortgage insurance is typically required on loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80% unless the loan qualifies for government guarantees.

Underwriting criteria for originated residential real estate loans generally include:

•Evaluation of the borrower’s ability to make monthly payments.

•Evaluation of the value of the property securing the loan.

•Ensuring the payment of principal, interest, taxes, and hazard insurance generally does not exceed 28% of a borrower’s gross income.

•Ensuring all debt servicing does not exceed 40% of income.

•Verification of acceptable credit reports.

•Verification of employment, income, and financial information.

Appraisals are performed by independent appraisers and are reviewed for appropriateness. Generally, mortgage loan requests are reviewed by our mortgage loan committee or through a secondary market underwriting system; loans in excess of $1,000 require the approval of one or more of the following committees: Internal Loan Committee, the Executive Loan Committee, or the Board of Directors.

Consumer loans include secured and unsecured personal loans. Loans are amortized for a period of up to 15 years based on the age and value of the underlying collateral. The underwriting emphasis is on a borrower’s perceived intent and ability to pay rather than collateral value. No consumer loans are sold to the secondary market.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans

The accrual of interest on commercial and agricultural loans, as well as residential real estate loans, is discontinued at the time a loan is 90 days or more past due unless the credit is well-secured and in the process of short-term collection. Upon transferring a loan to nonaccrual status, we perform an evaluation to determine the net realizable value of the underlying collateral. This evaluation is used to help determine if a charge-off is necessary. Consumer loans are typically charged-off no later than 180 days past due. Past due status is based on the contractual term of the loan. In all cases, a loan is placed in nonaccrual status at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

When a loan is placed in nonaccrual status, all interest accrued in the current calendar year, but not collected, is reversed against interest income while interest accrued in prior calendar years, but not collected, is charged against the ACL. Loans may be returned to accrual status after six months of continuous performance and achievement of current payment status.

Table of Contents

Internally assigned credit risk ratings are reviewed, at a minimum, when loans are renewed or when management has knowledge of improvements or deterioration of the credit quality of individual credits. Descriptions of the internally assigned credit risk ratings for commercial and agricultural loans are as follows:

  1. EXCELLENT – Substantially Risk Free

Credit has strong financial condition and solid earnings history, characterized by:

•High liquidity, strong cash flow, low leverage.

•Unquestioned ability to meet all obligations when due.

•Experienced management, with management succession in place.

•Secured by cash.

  1. HIGH QUALITY – Limited Risk

Credit with sound financial condition and a positive trend in earnings supplemented by:

•Favorable liquidity and leverage ratios.

•Ability to meet all obligations when due.

•Management with successful track record.

•Steady and satisfactory earnings history.

•If loan is secured, collateral is of high quality and readily marketable.

•Access to alternative financing.

•Well defined primary and secondary source of repayment.

•If supported by guaranty, the financial strength and liquidity of the guarantor(s) are clearly evident.

  1. HIGH SATISFACTORY – Reasonable Risk

Credit with satisfactory financial condition and further characterized by:

•Working capital adequate to support operations.

•Cash flow sufficient to pay debts as scheduled.

•Management experience and depth appear favorable.

•Loan performing according to terms.

•If loan is secured, collateral is acceptable, and loan is fully protected.

  1. SATISFACTORY – Acceptable Risk

Credit with bankable risks, although some signs of weaknesses are shown:

•Would include most start-up businesses.

•Occasional instances of trade slowness or repayment delinquency – may have been 10-30 days slow within the past year.

•Management’s abilities are apparent yet unproven.

•Weakness in primary source of repayment with adequate secondary source of repayment.

•Loan structure generally in accordance with policy.

•If secured, loan collateral coverage is marginal.

Table of Contents

To be classified as less than satisfactory, only one of the following criteria must be met.

  1. SPECIAL MENTION – Criticized

Credit constitutes an undue and unwarranted credit risk but not to the point of justifying a classification of substandard. The credit risk may be relatively minor yet constitutes an unwarranted risk in light of the circumstances surrounding a specific loan:

•Downward trend in sales, profit levels, and margins.

•Impaired working capital position.

•Cash flow is strained in order to meet debt repayment.

•Loan delinquency (30-60 days) and overdrafts may occur.

•Shrinking equity cushion.

•Diminishing primary source of repayment and questionable secondary source.

•Management abilities are questionable.

•Weak industry conditions.

•Litigation pending against the borrower.

•Loan may need to be restructured to improve collateral position or reduce payments.

•Collateral or guaranty offers limited protection.

•Negative debt service coverage, however, the credit is well collateralized, and payments are current.

  1. SUBSTANDARD – Classified

Credit is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged. There is a distinct possibility we will implement collection procedures if the loan deficiencies are not corrected. Any commercial loan placed in nonaccrual status will be rated “7” or worse. In addition, the following characteristics may apply:

•Sustained losses have severely eroded the equity and cash flow.

•Deteriorating liquidity.

•Serious management problems or internal fraud.

•Original repayment terms liberalized.

•Likelihood of bankruptcy.

•Inability to access other funding sources.

•Reliance on secondary source of repayment.

•Litigation filed against borrower.

•Interest non-accrual may be warranted.

•Collateral provides little or no value.

•Requires excessive attention of the loan officer.

•Borrower is uncooperative with loan officer.

  1. VULNERABLE – Classified

Credit is considered “Substandard” and warrants placing in nonaccrual status. Risk of loss is being evaluated and exit strategy options are under review. Other characteristics that may apply:

•Insufficient cash flow to service debt.

•Minimal or no payments being received.

•Limited options available to avoid the collection process.

•Transition status, expect action will take place to collect loan without immediate progress being made.

Table of Contents

  1. DOUBTFUL – Workout

Credit has all the weaknesses inherent in a “Substandard” loan with the added characteristic that collection and/or liquidation is pending. The possibility of a loss is extremely high, but its classification as a loss is deferred until liquidation procedures are completed, or reasonably estimable. Other characteristics that may apply:

•Normal operations are severely diminished or have ceased.

•Seriously impaired cash flow.

•Original repayment terms materially altered.

•Secondary source of repayment is inadequate.

•Survivability as a “going concern” is impossible.

•Collection process has begun.

•Bankruptcy petition has been filed.

•Judgments have been filed.

•Portion of the loan balance has been charged-off.

  1. LOSS – Charge-off

Credit is considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification is for charged-off loans but does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value. These loans are further characterized by:

•Liquidation or reorganization under bankruptcy, with poor prospects of collection.

•Fraudulently overstated assets and/or earnings.

•Collateral has marginal or no value.

•Debtor cannot be located.

•Over 120 days delinquent.

Loan Modifications

A loan modification includes terms outside of normal lending practices to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty.

Typical modifications granted include, but are not limited to:

•Agreeing to interest rates below prevailing market rates for debt with similar risk characteristics.

•Extending the maturity date or amortization period beyond typical lending guidelines for loans with similar risk characteristics.

•Agreeing to an interest-only payment structure, delaying principal payments, or delaying payments.

•Forgiving principal.

To determine if a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, factors we consider include:

•The borrower is currently in default on any debt.

•The borrower would likely default on any debt if the concession is not granted.

•The borrower’s cash flow is insufficient to service all debt if the concession is not granted.

•The borrower has declared, or is in the process of declaring, bankruptcy.

•The borrower is unlikely to continue as a going concern (if the entity is a business).

ACL - Loans

The credit quality of our loan portfolio is continuously monitored and is reflected within the ACL for loans. The ACL is an estimate of expected losses inherent within our loan portfolio. The ACL is adjusted by a credit loss expense, which is reported in earnings, and reduced by the charge-off of loan amounts, net of recoveries.

The ACL is evaluated on a regular basis for appropriateness. Our periodic review of the collectability of a loan considers historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The primary factors behind the determination of the level of the ACL are specific allocations for loans individually evaluated, historical loss percentages, delinquency status, and other credit trends and risk characteristics, including current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In future periods evaluations of the overall loan portfolio, in light of the factors and forecasts then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the allowance and credit loss expense in those future periods.

The methodology for estimating the amount of expected credit losses reported in the ACL has two basic components: a component of individual loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans; and a pooled component for estimated expected credit losses for pools of loans that share similar risk characteristics.

For a loan that does not share risk characteristics with other loans, an individual analysis is performed to measure an allowance. Loans in nonaccrual status are individually evaluated for specific allocation of the allowance using the fair value of collateral, less costs to sell if foreclosure is probable, or the discounted cash flow method. We do not recognize interest income on loans in nonaccrual status. For loans not classified as nonaccrual, interest income is recognized daily, as earned, according to the terms of the loan agreement and the principal amount outstanding.

In determining the allowance for credit losses, we derive an estimated credit loss assumption from a model that categorizes loan pools based on loan type and credit risk ratings or delinquency bucket. This model calculates an expected loss percentage for each loan class by considering the probability of default, based on the migration of loans from performing to loss by credit risk ratings or delinquency buckets using life-of-loan analysis, and the historical severity of loss, based on the aggregate net lifetime losses incurred per loan class.

The default and severity factors used to calculate the allowance for credit losses for loans that share similar risk characteristics with other loans are adjusted for differences between the historical period used to calculate historical default and loss severity rates and expected conditions over the remaining lives of the loans in the portfolio. These qualitative factors are used to adjust the historical probabilities of default and severity of loss so that they reflect management's expectation of future conditions based on a reasonable and supportable forecast. To the extent the lives of the loans in the portfolio extend beyond the period for which a reasonable and supportable forecast can be made, the model reverts back to the historical rates of default and severity of loss. Qualitative factors include:

•Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, recovery practices not considered elsewhere in estimating credit losses;

•Changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff;

•Changes in interest rates;

•Changes in international, national, regional, and local economic factors;

•Changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and in the terms of loans;

•Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans;

•Lack of current financial information;

•Competition, legal, and regulatory; and

•Changes in the value of underlying collateral.

We have designated loans classified as collateral dependent for which we apply the practical expedient to measure the ACL based on the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell when the repayment is expected to be provided substantially by the sale or operation of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The fair value of the collateral is based on appraisals, which may be adjusted due to their age, and the type, location, and condition of the property or area or general market conditions to reflect the expected change in value between the effective date of the appraisal and the measurement date. Appraisals are updated every one to two years depending on the type of loan and the total exposure of the borrower. Loans evaluated for expected credit losses on an individual basis include $357 in collateral dependent loans.

Note 5 – Computation of Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share includes additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Potential common shares that may be issued relate solely to outstanding shares in the Directors Plan and grant awards under the RSP.

Earnings per common share have been computed based on the following for the:

Note 6 – Capital Ratios and Shareholders' Equity

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the most recent notifications from the FRB and the FDIC categorized us as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, Common Equity Tier 1, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following tables. The minimum requirements presented below include the minimum required capital levels based on the Basel III Capital Rules. Capital requirements to be considered well capitalized are based upon prompt corrective action regulations, as amended to reflect the changes under the Basel III Capital Rules. There were no conditions or events since the notifications that we believe have changed our categories. The following tables set forth these requirements and our ratios as of:

Note 7 – Fair Value

Under fair value measurement and disclosure authoritative guidance, we group assets and liabilities measured at fair value into three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded, and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value, based on the prioritization of inputs in the valuation techniques. These levels are:

Level 1: Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2: Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level 3: Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Transfers between measurement levels are recognized at the end of reporting periods.

Fair value measurement requires the use of an exit price notion which may differ from entrance pricing. Generally, we believe our assets and liabilities classified as Level 1 or Level 2 approximate an exit price notion.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies, key inputs, and an indication of the level of the fair value hierarchy in which the assets or liabilities are classified.

AFS securities: AFS securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Level 1 fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments. Level 2 fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss and liquidity assumptions. The values for Level 1 and Level 2 investment securities are generally obtained from an independent third party. On a quarterly basis, we compare the values provided to alternative pricing sources.

Loans: We do not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, some loans are individually evaluated for ACL purposes, and a specific ACL may be established. To measure reserve, the fair value of the loan is estimated using the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell if foreclosure is probable, or the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the

Table of Contents

loan’s effective interest rate. Loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans.

We review the net realizable values of the underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans on at least a quarterly basis for all loan types. To determine the collateral value, we utilize independent appraisals, broker price opinions, or internal evaluations. We review these valuations to determine whether an additional discount should be applied given the age of market information that may have been considered as well as other factors such as costs to sell an asset if it is determined that the collateral will be liquidated in connection with the ultimate settlement of the loan. We use these valuations to determine if any specific reserves or charge-offs are necessary. We may obtain new valuations in certain circumstances, including when there has been significant deterioration in the condition of the collateral, if the foreclosure process has begun, or if the existing valuation is deemed to be outdated.

The following tables list the quantitative information about loans measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of:

September 30, 2024
Valuation Technique Fair Value Unobservable Input Actual Range Weighted Average
Collateral Dependent Loans - Discount applied to collateral:
Discounted value $357 Real Estate 20% 20%
December 31, 2023
--- --- --- --- ---
Valuation Technique Fair Value Unobservable Input Actual Range Weighted Average
Collateral Dependent Loans - Discount applied to collateral:
Discounted value $1,083 Real Estate 20% 20%
Equipment 25% - 35% 33%
Accounts receivable 25% 25%

Collateral discount rates may have ranges to accommodate differences in the age of the independent appraisal, broker price opinion, or internal evaluation.

OMSR: OMSR (which are included in other assets) are subject to impairment testing. To test for impairment, we utilize a discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates and prepayment speed assumptions currently quoted for comparable instruments and discount rates. If the valuation model reflects a value less than the carrying value, OMSR are adjusted to fair value through a valuation allowance as determined by the model. As such, we classify OMSR subject to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 3.

The following table lists the quantitative information about OMSR fair value measurement as of:

September 30, 2024
Valuation Technique Fair Value Unobservable Input Rate
Discounted cash flow $ 2,277 Constant prepayment rate 7%
Discount rate 11%

During the third quarter of 2024, the classification of OMSR was changed from Level 2 to Level 3. We elected to reevaluate our process for testing for impairment, which included a change in the third-party provider for the valuation. Our valuation is generated using a model-based approach that relies upon significant assumptions not observable in the market. As such, the Level 3 classification is most appropriate based on the valuation approach.

As a result of the change described above, Level 3 transfers in and Level 2 transfer out totaled $2,277 as of September 30, 2024. There were no other transfers to or from Levels 1, 2, or 3 as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Although we believe our valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement.

Estimated Fair Values of Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value in their Entirety on a Recurring Basis

Disclosure of the estimated fair values of financial instruments, which differ from carrying values, often requires the use of estimates. In cases where quoted market values in an active market are not available, we use present value techniques and other valuation methods to estimate the fair values of our financial instruments. These valuation methods require considerable judgment and the resulting estimates of fair value can be significantly affected by the assumptions made and methods used.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP and the prevailing practices in the financial services industry. However, we also evaluate our performance by reference to certain additional financial measures discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that we identify as being “non-GAAP financial measures.” In accordance with SEC rules, we classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time in the United States in our statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows. Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating and other statistical measures or ratios, or statistical measures calculated using exclusively either financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, operating measures or other measures that are not non-GAAP financial measures or both.

The non-GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non-GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this report may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.

Executive Summary

Comparison of Operating Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, unless otherwise noted

Net income in the third quarter of 2024 was $3,281, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared with $4,413, or $0.58 per diluted share, in the same quarter 2023. The non-GAAP measure of adjusted net income in the third quarter 2024 totaled $4,559, or $0.61 per diluted share, compared to $4,354 or $0.58 per diluted share, in the same quarter of 2023. Adjusted net income in the current year quarter excludes a $1,622 charge-off related to overdrawn deposit accounts from a single customer.

Net income for the year-to-date period of 2024 was $9,893, or $1.32 per diluted share, compared with $14,364, or $1.89 per diluted share, in the same period of 2023. Adjusted net income was $11,112, or $1.48 per diluted share, compared with $14,193, or $1.87 per diluted share, for the respective periods. The decrease in adjusted net income primarily reflects lower net interest income due to slower repricing of earning assets as compared to the rising costs of interest bearing liabilities. The decrease in net income for the comparative periods also included an increase in provision and compensation expenses.

Net interest income was $14,488 in the third quarter of 2024 and $14,302 in the same quarter of 2023 representing 2.98% and 2.99% of earning assets, or NIM on an FTE basis, respectively. The current year quarter NIM included a 6 basis point benefit due to the recovery of the contractual interest of two previously charged-off commercial loans. The book yield from securities was 2.21% and 2.23% during the third quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The weighted average maturity of our U.S. Treasury portfolio is less than two years, and the future proceeds are expected to be reinvested in market rate loans and securities, or to pay off borrowed funds. Our yield on loans expanded to 5.73% in the third quarter 2024, up from 5.17% in the same quarter of 2023, which includes an increase of 8 basis points due to the recovery of previously charged-off loans. Overall, our loan yields continued to expand due to higher rates on new loans and fixed rate commercial loans that have and continue repricing to variable rates. At the end of the third quarter 2024, approximately 41% 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 three to five years. Our cost of interest bearing liabilities increased to 2.43% from 1.77% in the third quarter 2023 due to several interest rate hikes throughout 2023 and the associated remix from noninterest bearing deposits into higher tier money market and certificate of deposit accounts. While we have experienced a downward trend in our NIM over the past several quarters, we are seeing a reversal of this trend as NIM has expanded 19 basis points over the last two quarters of 2024 as loans reprice and the cost of interest bearing liabilities stabilize.

For the first nine months of 2024, net interest income was $41,280 compared with $44,332 in the same period of 2023. The comparison of NIM and yield on interest earning assets for the first nine months of 2024 were 2.87% and 4.62% compared to 3.13%, and 4.11% for the same period 2023. The yield on loans expanded to 5.55%, from 4.95%, and our cost of interest bearing liabilities increased to 2.37% from 1.39% for the nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The explanations for the improvement in NIM are consistent with those provided in the year-over-year three-month comparison above.

The provision for credit losses was $946 in the third quarter of 2024, compared to a credit of $292 for the same period in 2023. The provision for the current year quarter includes the impact from the recovery of the contractual principal of two previously charged-off commercial loans totaling $314. Given the loan recoveries, our historical loss rate experience improved which provided a benefit of $435 during the quarter. The benefits were offset by a $1,622 charge-off related to overdrawn deposit accounts from a single customer. The loans to the customer and related parties are well collateralized, and no additional credit provisioning was necessary in the third quarter. The credit in the prior year quarter mostly reflects loan recoveries in excess of charge-offs during the period.

For the first nine months of 2024, provision for credit losses was $1,508 and a reversal of $55 in the same period of 2023. The reasons for the increase in provision for the nine month comparison are the same as the three month comparison. Net loan charge-offs have been at historic lows for the past five years due to our disciplined underwriting standards.

Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $3,528 and $3,414, respectively. Wealth management fees grew $145, or 17%, due to an increase in new accounts and higher market valuations. Customer service fees increased $99 compared to the same quarter of 2023 based on a higher number of transaction accounts. For the nine months of 2024, noninterest income was $10,604, compared to $10,311 in the same period of 2023. The reasons for the increase in income for the nine month comparison are the same as the three month comparison.

Noninterest expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 increased $570, or 4.5%, in comparison to the same period in 2023. Compensation and benefit expenses increased $612 reflecting annual merit increases in 2024, and higher incentive compensation as compared to the third quarter of 2023. For the first nine months of 2024, noninterest expenses were $38,799, compared to $37,395 in the same period of 2023. Annual merit increases and medical claims resulted in a $1,447 increase in compensation and benefit expenses for the first nine months of 2024. Our year-to-date efficiency ratio is 73.65% in 2024 compared to 67.56% in 2023, which primarily reflects lower NIM and a relatively stable base of noninterest expense.

Financial Condition (September 30, 2024 to December 31, 2023 comparison)

Total assets increased $47,933 to $2,106,901 as of September 30, 2024 due to loan growth funded by growth in deposits during the third quarter. Excess cash generated during the first nine months of 2024 was used to pay off wholesale borrowings totaling $19,633.

Our AFS securities portfolio totaled $506,806 at September 30, 2024, declining $21,342 due to municipal maturities and principal paydowns on mortgage-related securities. Net unrealized losses at September 30, 2024 totaled $20,968, or 3.97%, of the portfolio. The unrealized loss position on our AFS securities portfolio resulted from increases in short-term and intermediate-term benchmark interest rates. Our bond portfolio has a very short remaining life with $220,000 of the U.S. Treasury portfolio maturing by the end of 2026. The $169,339 Collateral Mortgage Obligation portfolio has a projected weighted-average life of 3.5 years and most bonds are bulleted in structure. Nearly half of the tax-exempt municipal portfolio will mature over the next five years.

Loans outstanding as of September 30, 2024 totaled $1,424,283. Since December 31, 2023, gross loans have increased $74,820 as a result of growth in commercial loans and increased participation in advances to mortgage brokers. Additional loan growth came from the residential real estate portfolio due to the slowing of prepayments on steady new volume. At the end of September, $12.6 million of commercial real estate construction loans were closed and are expected to be funded early in the fourth quarter.

The ACL was $12,635 at September 30, 2024, a decrease of $473 from $13,108 at December 31, 2023. Most of the decrease is due to improvement in historical loss experience, which was driven by the recovery of two previously charged-off loans during the quarter totaling $314. Nonaccrual loans were $547 as of September 30, 2024 compared to $926 at December 31, 2023. Past due and accruing accounts between 30 to 89 days as a percentage of total loans was 0.16% at September 30, 2024, compared to 0.29% at year-end 2023. Overall, credit quality remains strong, and there are no negative trends.

Total deposits increased $58,137 since December 31, 2023, to $1,781,832 at the end of the third quarter 2024. Consumer demand for retail certificates of deposit accounts continues based on the rate environment, resulting in a $37,223 increase in the balance during the first nine months of 2024. Interest bearing demand deposits increased $55,855, while savings and demand deposits declined $27,929 and $7,012, respectively.

Total equity was $212,985 at September 30, 2024 compared to $202,402 at year-end 2023. Our tangible book value per share was $22.14 as of September 30, 2024, compared to $20.59 on December 31, 2023. Net unrealized losses on AFS securities reduced tangible book value per share by $2.23 and $3.37 for the respective periods. Share repurchases totaled 124,969 during the first nine months of 2024 for a value of $2,419 at an average price of $19.36.

We continue to have robust liquidity levels and capital. As of September 30, 2024, we had $797,818 of unencumbered sources of liquidity and strong capital ratios; the Tier 1 Leverage Ratio was 8.77%, Tier 1 risk-based capital was 12.08%, and Total risk-based capital was 14.90%.

Capital

Capital consists solely of common stock, retained earnings, and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We are authorized to raise capital through dividend reinvestment, employee and director stock purchases, and shareholder stock purchases. Pursuant to these authorizations, we issued 61,560 shares or $1,190 of common stock during the first nine months of 2024, as compared to 55,456 shares or $1,208 of common stock during the same period in 2023. We offer the Directors Plan in which participants purchase stock units through deferred fees, in lieu of cash payments. Pursuant to this plan, we increased shareholders’ equity by $332 and $477 during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We also grant restricted stock awards pursuant to the RSP. Pursuant to this plan, we increased shareholders’ equity by $71 during the first nine months of 2024, as compared to $219 during the same period in 2023.

We have publicly announced a common stock repurchase plan. Pursuant to this plan, we repurchased 124,969 shares or $2,419 of common stock during the first nine months of 2024 and 124,320 shares or $2,906 during the first nine months of 2023. As of September 30, 2024, we were authorized to repurchase up to an additional 145,837 shares of common stock.

The FRB has established minimum risk-based capital guidelines. Pursuant to these guidelines, a framework has been established that assigns risk weights to each category of on and off-balance-sheet items to arrive at risk adjusted total assets. Regulatory capital is divided by the risk adjusted assets with the resulting ratio compared to the minimum standard to determine whether a corporation has adequate capital.

The following table sets forth our ratios as of:

September 30<br>2024 June 30<br>2024 March 31<br>2024 December 31<br>2023 September 30<br>2023
Common equity tier 1 capital 12.08 % 12.37 % 12.36 % 12.54 % 12.43 %
Tier 1 capital 12.08 % 12.37 % 12.36 % 12.54 % 12.43 %
Total capital 14.90 % 15.29 % 15.31 % 15.52 % 15.39 %
Tier 1 leverage 8.77 % 8.83 % 8.80 % 8.76 % 8.77 %

Liquidity

Liquidity is monitored regularly by our ALCO, which consists of members of senior management. The committee reviews projected cash flows, key ratios, and liquidity available from both primary and secondary sources.

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and unencumbered AFS securities. These categories totaled $340,365, or 16.15% of assets, as of September 30, 2024, compared to $381,417, or 18.52%, as of December 31, 2023. The decrease in the amount and percentage of primary liquidity is a direct result of an increase in loans and a decrease in unencumbered AFS securities collateralizing non-market funding. Liquidity is important for financial institutions because of their need to meet loan funding commitments, depositor withdrawal requests, and various other commitments including expansion of operations, investment opportunities, and payment of cash dividends. Based on these same factors, daily liquidity could vary significantly.

Deposit accounts are our primary source of funds. Our secondary sources include the ability to borrow from the FHLB, from the FRB, and through various correspondent banks in the form of federal funds purchased and a line of credit. These funding methods typically carry a higher interest rate than traditional market deposit accounts. Some borrowed funds, including FHLB advances, FRB Discount Window advances, and repurchase agreements, require us to pledge assets, typically in the form of AFS securities or loans, as collateral. As of September 30, 2024, we had available lines of credit of $360,440.

We monitor our daily liquidity position to meet our cash flow needs. We also forecast anticipated funding needs for changes in interest rates and economic conditions, the scheduled maturity and interest rate sensitivity of the investment and loan portfolios and deposits, and regulatory capital requirements. Our liquidity stress testing is designed with consideration of these and other factors that could pose undue risk to liquidity.

Our liquidity position remained strong at September 30, 2024, which is illustrated in the following table:

Fair Value

We utilize fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. AFS securities, cash flow hedge derivative instruments and certain liabilities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, we may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as mortgage loans AFS, collateral dependent loans, goodwill, foreclosed assets, OMSR, and certain other assets and liabilities. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve the application of lower of cost or market accounting or write downs of individual assets.

For further information regarding fair value measurements see “Note 7 – Fair Value” of our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Market Risk

Our primary market risks are interest rate risk and liquidity risk. IRR is the exposure of our net interest income to changes in interest rates. IRR results from the difference in the maturity or repricing frequency of a financial institution's interest earning assets and its interest bearing liabilities. Managing IRR is the fundamental method by which financial institutions earn income and create shareholder value. Excessive exposure to IRR could pose a significant risk to our earnings and capital.

The FRB has adopted a policy requiring banks to effectively manage the various risks that can have a material impact on safety and soundness. The risks include credit, interest rate, liquidity, operational, and reputational. We have policies, procedures, and internal controls for measuring and managing these risks. Specifically, our ALCO policy and procedures include defining acceptable types and terms of investments and funding sources, liquidity requirements, limits on investments in long-term assets, limiting the mismatch in repricing opportunities of assets and liabilities, and the frequency of measuring and reporting to our Board of Directors.

The primary technique to measure IRR is simulation analysis. Simulation analysis forecasts the effects on the balance sheet structure and net interest income under a variety of scenarios that incorporate changes in interest rates, the shape of yield curves, interest rate relationships, loan prepayments, and funding sources. These forecasts are compared against net interest income projected in a stable interest rate environment. While many assets and liabilities reprice either at maturity or in accordance with their contractual terms, several balance sheet components demonstrate characteristics that require an evaluation to more accurately reflect their repricing behavior. Key assumptions in the simulation analysis include prepayments on loans, probable calls of investment securities, changes in market conditions, loan volumes and loan pricing, deposit sensitivity, and customer preferences. These assumptions are inherently uncertain as they are subject to fluctuation and revision in a dynamic rate environment. As a result, the simulation analysis cannot precisely forecast the impact of rising and falling interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to many other factors, including changes in balance sheet components, interest rate changes, changes in market conditions, and management strategies. We regularly monitor our projected net interest income sensitivity to ensure that it remains within established limits.

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes our interest rate sensitivity for 12 and 24 months as of September 30, 2024. The results displayed in the table reflect the modeling of immediate shifts in the yield curve and a flat balance sheet and may not reflect actual or expected changes.

September 30, 2024
12 Months 24 Months
Immediate basis point change assumption (short-term) -200 -100 100 200 -200 -100 100 200
Percent change in net interest income vs. constant rate (3.64) % (1.23) % 4.15 % 4.86 % (9.34) % (3.64) % 6.44 % 0.66 %

Gap analysis, the secondary method to measure IRR, measures the cash flows and/or the earliest repricing of our interest bearing assets and liabilities. This analysis is useful for measuring trends in the repricing characteristics of the balance sheet. Significant assumptions are required in this process because of the embedded repricing options contained in assets and liabilities. Residential real estate and consumer loans allow the borrower to repay the balance prior to maturity without penalty, while commercial and agricultural loans may have prepayment penalties. The amount of prepayments is dependent upon many factors, including the interest rate of a given loan in comparison to the current offering rates, the level of home sales, and the overall availability of credit in the marketplace. Generally, a decrease in interest rates will result in an increase in cash flows from these assets. Savings and demand accounts may generally be withdrawn on request without prior notice. The timing of cash flows from these deposits is estimated based on historical experience. Certificates of deposit have penalties that discourage early withdrawals.

We do not believe there has been a material change in the nature or categories of our primary market risk exposure, or the particular markets that present the primary risk of loss. We do not know of or expect there to be any material change in the general nature of our primary market risk exposure in the near term, and we do not expect to make material changes to our market risk methods in the near term. We may change those methods in the future to adapt to changes in circumstances or to implement new techniques.

Gap analysis is also utilized as a method to measure interest rate sensitivity. Interest rate sensitivity is determined by the amount of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities repricing within a specific time period, and their relative sensitivity to a change in interest rates. We strive to achieve reasonable stability in the net interest margin through periods of changing interest rates.

Contractual Obligations and Loan Commitments

We have various financial obligations, including contractual obligations and commitments related to deposits and borrowings, which may require future cash payments. We also have loan related commitments that may impact liquidity. The commitments include unused lines of credit, commercial and standby letters of credit, and commitments to grant loans. These commitments to grant loans include residential mortgage loans with the majority committed to be sold to the secondary market. Many of these commitments historically have expired without being drawn upon and do not necessarily represent our future cash requirements.

We are party to credit related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk. These financial instruments are entered into in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contractual or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement we have in a particular class of financial instrument.

Our exposure to credit-related loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit could be up to the contractual notional amount of those instruments. We use the same credit policies when analyzing the creditworthiness of counterparties as we do for extending loans to customers. No significant losses are anticipated as a result of these commitments.
