NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

March 31, 2024

Note 1 Basis of Presentation

National Bank Holdings Corporation ("NBHC" or the "Company") is a bank holding company that was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 2009. The Company is headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado, and its primary operations are conducted through its wholly owned subsidiaries NBH Bank and Bank of Jackson Hole Trust. NBH Bank is a Colorado state-chartered bank and a member of the Federal Reserve System, and Bank of Jackson Hole Trust is a Wyoming state-chartered bank and a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Company provides a variety of banking products to both commercial and consumer clients through a network of over 90 banking centers, as of March 31, 2024, located primarily in Colorado, the greater Kansas City region, Utah, Wyoming, Texas, New Mexico and Idaho, as well as through online and mobile banking products and services.

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements serve to update the National Bank Holdings Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, NBH Bank, Bank of Jackson Hole Trust and 2UniFi, LLC. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and where applicable, with general practices in the banking industry or guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory agencies. However, they may not include all information and notes necessary to constitute a complete set of financial statements under GAAP applicable to annual periods and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the financial information contained in the Company's most recent Form 10-K. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications of prior years' amounts are made whenever necessary to conform to current period presentation. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other interim period. All amounts are in thousands, except share data, or as otherwise noted.

GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. By their nature, estimates are based on judgment and available information. Management has made significant estimates in certain areas, such as the fair values of financial instruments, contingent liabilities and the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”). Because of the inherent uncertainties associated with any estimation process and future changes in market and economic conditions, it is possible that actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

The Company's significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 2 of the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2023 and are contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to the application of significant accounting policies since December 31, 2023.

Note 2 Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has not adopted any recent accounting pronouncements in addition to those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Note 3 Investment Securities

The Company’s investment securities portfolio is comprised of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities.

Management evaluated all of the available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The portfolio included 231 securities, which were in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2024, compared to 230 securities at December 31, 2023. The unrealized losses in the Company's investment portfolio at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were caused by changes in interest rates. The Company has no intention to sell these securities and believes it will not be required to sell the securities before the recovery of their amortized cost. Management believes that default of the available-for-sale securities is highly unlikely. FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA guaranteed mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury securities have a long history of zero credit losses, an explicit guarantee by the U.S. government (although limited for FNMA and FHLMC securities) and yields that generally trade based on market views of prepayment and liquidity risk rather than credit risk. 13

The Company does not measure expected credit losses on a financial asset, or group of financial assets, in which historical credit loss information adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts results in an expectation that nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is zero. Management evaluated held-to-maturity securities noting they are backed by loans guaranteed by either U.S. government agencies or U.S. government sponsored entities, and management believes that default is highly unlikely given this governmental backing and long history without credit losses. Additionally, management notes that yields on which the portfolio generally trades are based upon market views of prepayment and liquidity risk and not credit risk. The Company has no intention to sell any held-to-maturity securities and believes it will not be required to sell any held-to-maturity securities before the recovery of their amortized cost.

The tables below summarize the credit quality indicators, by amortized cost, of held-to-maturity securities as of the dates shown:

Loans are considered past due or delinquent when the contractual principal or interest due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement remains unpaid after the due date of the scheduled payment. Loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties may be modified. Modified loans are discussed in more detail below. There was no interest income recognized from non-accrual loans during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023.

The Company’s internal risk rating system uses a series of grades, which reflect our assessment of the credit quality of loans based on an analysis of the borrower's financial condition, liquidity and ability to meet contractual debt service requirements and are categorized as “Pass”, “Special mention”, “Substandard” and “Doubtful”. For a description of the general characteristics of the risk grades, refer to note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our audited consolidated financial statements in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Table of Contents The amortized cost basis and current period gross charge offs for all loans as determined by the Company’s internal risk rating system and year of origination is shown in the following tables as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023:

Table of Contents Loans evaluated individually

We evaluate loans individually when they no longer share risk characteristics with pooled loans. These loans include loans on non-accrual status, loans in bankruptcy, and modified loans as described below. If a specific allowance is warranted based on the borrower’s overall financial condition, the specific allowance is calculated based on discounted expected cash flows using the loan’s initial contractual effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral less selling costs for collateral-dependent loans.

A loan is considered collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. Management individually evaluates collateral-dependent loans with an amortized cost basis of $250 thousand or more and includes collateral-dependent loans less than $250 thousand within the general allowance population. The amortized cost basis of collateral-dependent loans over $250 thousand was as follows at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Loan modifications

The Company’s policy is to review each prospective credit to determine the appropriateness and the adequacy of security or collateral prior to making a loan. In the event of borrower default, the Company seeks recovery in compliance with lending laws, the respective loan agreements, and credit monitoring and remediation procedures that may include modifying a loan to provide a concession by the Company to the borrower from their original terms due to borrower financial difficulties in order to facilitate repayment. The Company considers loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties, where such a concession is utilized, to be troubled debt modifications (“TDM”). TDMs may include principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, other-than-insignificant-payment delays, term extensions or any combination thereof.

Accrual of interest is resumed on loans that were previously on non-accrual only after the loan has performed sufficiently for a period of time. The Company had four TDMs with an amortized cost totaling $18.8 million that were modified within the past twelve months, utilizing a term extension and payment delays, that defaulted on their modified terms during the 12 months ended March 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had no TDMs that were modified within the preceding twelve months that defaulted on their modified terms. For purposes of this disclosure, the Company considers “default” to mean 90 days or more past due on principal or interest. The allowance for credit losses related to TDMs on non-accrual status is determined by individual evaluation, including collateral adequacy, using the same process as loans on non-accrual status which are not classified as TDMs.

The following schedules present the financial effect of the modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty as of March 31, 2024 and 2023:

In evaluating the loan portfolio for an appropriate ACL level, excluding loans evaluated individually, loans were grouped into segments based on broad characteristics such as primary use and underlying collateral. Within the segments, the portfolio was further disaggregated into classes of loans with similar attributes and risk characteristics for purposes of developing the underlying data used within the discounted cash flow model including, but not limited to, prepayment and recovery rates as well as loss rates tied to macro-economic conditions within management’s reasonable and supportable forecast. The ACL also includes subjective adjustments based upon qualitative risk factors including asset quality, loss trends, lending management, portfolio growth and loan review/internal audit results.

Net charge-offs on loans during the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $0.1 million. The Company recorded a decrease in the allowance for credit losses of $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Servicing Rights

Mortgage servicing rights

Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) represent rights to service loans originated by the Company and sold to government-sponsored enterprises including FHLMC, FNMA, GNMA and FHLB and are included in other assets in the consolidated statements of financial condition. Mortgage loans serviced for others were $0.9 billion and $0.8 billion at March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Below are the changes in the MSRs for the periods presented:


	For the three months ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Beginning balance	$	4,911	$	9,162
Originations		115		274
Amortization		(114)		(119)
Ending balance		4,912		9,317
Fair value of mortgage servicing rights	$	7,523	$	13,321

The fair value of MSRs was determined based upon a discounted cash flow analysis. The cash flow analysis included assumptions for discount rates and prepayment speeds. Discount rates ranged from 10.0% to 10.5%, and the constant prepayment speed ranged from 6.2% to 13.3% for the March 31, 2024 valuation. Discount rates ranged from 10.0% to 10.5%, and the constant prepayment speed ranged from 7.9% to 18.2% for the March 31, 2023 valuation. Included in mortgage banking income in the consolidated statements of operations was servicing income of $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

MSRs are evaluated and impairment is recognized to the extent fair value is less than the carrying amount. The Company evaluates impairment by stratifying MSRs based on the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans, including loan type and loan term. The Company is amortizing the MSRs in proportion to and over the period of the estimated net servicing income of the underlying loans.

The following table shows the estimated future amortization expense during the next five years for the MSRs as of March 31, 2024:


Years ending December 31,		Amount
For the nine months ending December 31, 2024	$	411
For the year ending December 31, 2025		502
For the year ending December 31, 2026		446
For the year ending December 31, 2027		396
For the year ending December 31, 2028		352

SBA servicing asset

The SBA servicing asset represents the value associated with servicing small business real estate loans that have been sold to outside investors with servicing retained. The SBA servicing asset is evaluated and impairment is recognized to the extent fair value is less than the carrying amount. The Company evaluates impairment by stratifying the SBA servicing asset based on the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans, including loan type and loan term. The Company is amortizing the SBA servicing asset in proportion to and over the period of the estimated net servicing income of the underlying loans. The Company serviced $112.2 million and $108.8 million of SBA loans that have been sold into the secondary market, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized SBA servicing asset fee income of $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Table of Contents Below are the changes in the SBA servicing asset for the periods presented:

Amortization		(74)		(35)
Ending balance		2,634		2,604
Fair value of SBA servicing asset	$	2,634	$	2,604

The Company uses assumptions and estimates in determining the fair value of SBA loan servicing rights. These assumptions include prepayment speeds, discount rates, and other assumptions. The assumptions used in the valuation were based on input from buyers, brokers and other qualified personnel, as well as market knowledge. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the key assumptions used to determine the fair value of the Company’s SBA loan servicing rights included weighted average lifetime constant prepayment rates equal to 15.75% and 12.40%, respectively, and weighted average discount rates equal to 10.16% and 13.34%, respectively.

Note 10 Regulatory Capital

As a bank holding company that has elected to be treated as a financial holding company, the Company, NBH Bank and Bank of Jackson Hole Trust are subject to regulatory capital adequacy requirements implemented by the Federal Reserve and, for NBH Bank and Bank of Jackson Hole Trust, the FDIC, including maintaining capital positions at the “well-capitalized” level. The federal banking agencies have risk-based capital adequacy regulations intended to provide a measure of capital adequacy that reflects the degree of risk associated with a banking organization’s operations. Under these regulations, assets are assigned to one of several risk categories, and nominal dollar amounts of assets and credit equivalent amounts of off-balance-sheet items are multiplied by a risk adjustment percentage for the category. Regulatory authorities can initiate certain mandatory actions if the Company, NBH Bank or Bank of Jackson Hole Trust fail to meet the minimum capital requirements, which could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Table of Contents Under the Basel III requirements, at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company and the Banks met all capital requirements, including the capital conservation buffer of 2.5%. The Company and the Banks had regulatory capital ratios in excess of the levels established for well-capitalized institutions, as detailed in the tables below.

Note 11 Revenue from Contracts with Clients

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with clients are satisfied. Below is the detail of the Company’s revenue from contracts with clients, including service charges and other deposit account related fees, bank card fees and other non-interest income. Other non-interest income includes trust and wealth management fees and Cambr fee income.

Table of Contents Service charges and other account-related fees

Service charge fees are primarily comprised of monthly service fees, check orders, and other deposit account related fees. Other fees include revenue from processing wire transfers, bill pay service, cashier’s checks, and other services. The Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Check orders and other deposit account-related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to clients’ accounts.

Bank card fees

Bank card fees are primarily comprised of debit card income, ATM fees, merchant services income, and other fees. Debit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Visa. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Bank cardholder uses a non-Bank ATM or a non-Bank cardholder uses a Bank ATM. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit card transactions. The Company’s performance obligation for bank card fees are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month.

Other non-interest income

Trust and wealth management fees

The trust and wealth management business offers separately managed investment account solutions and trustee services to clients. Services may include custody of securities, trust investments and wealth management services, directed trusts or fixed income portfolio management and irrevocable life insurance trusts. The Company charges an asset-based fee earned for personal and corporate accounts. Additional fees may include minimum annual fees, fees for additional tax reporting and preparation for irrevocable trust returns or annual flat fees for certain trusts. The performance obligations related to this revenue include items such as performing investment advisory services, custody and record-keeping services, and fund administrative and accounting services. The performance obligations are satisfied upon completion of service and fees are generally a fixed flat rate or based on a percentage of the account’s market value per the contract with the client. These fees are recorded within other non-interest income in the consolidated statements of operations.

Cambr fee income

Cambr operates a deposit acquisition and processing platform that generates core deposits from accounts offered through embedded finance companies. Cambr’s platform facilitates the movement of embedded finance companies’ client deposits into FDIC-insured accounts at banks within Cambr’s network. Cambr generates fee income by charging a percentage-based fee of the client’s deposit balance placed into the Cambr network. The performance obligation is satisfied upon completion of service, and Cambr fee income is recorded within other non-interest income in the consolidated statements of operations.

Other non-interest expense

Included within other non-interest expense are gains and losses from OREO sales, which are recognized when the Company meets its performance obligation to transfer title to the buyer. The gain or loss is measured as the excess of the proceeds received compared to the OREO carrying value. Sales proceeds are received in cash at the time of transfer.

Table of Contents The following table presents non-interest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, and non-interest expense in-scope of Topic 606 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

The Company utilizes the practical expedient which allows entities to expense immediately contract acquisition costs when the asset that would have resulted from capitalizing these costs would have been amortized in one year or less. The Company has not capitalized any contract acquisition costs.

Note 12 Stock-based Compensation and Benefits

The Company provides stock-based compensation in accordance with shareholder-approved plans. On May 9, 2023, shareholders approved the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2023 Plan"). The 2023 Plan replaces the 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Prior Plan"), pursuant to which the Company granted equity awards prior to the approval of the 2023 Plan. Pursuant to the 2023 Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has the authority to grant, from time to time, awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, other stock-based awards, or any combination thereof to eligible persons.

As of March 31, 2024, the aggregate number of Class A common stock available for issuance under the 2023 Plan is 1,185,202 shares. Any shares that are subject to stock options or stock appreciation rights under the 2023 Plan will be counted against the amount available for issuance as one share for every one share granted, and any shares that are subject to awards under the 2023 Plan other than stock options or stock appreciation rights will be counted against the amount available for issuance as one share for every one share granted. The 2023 Plan provides for recycling of shares from both the Prior Plan and the 2023 Plan, the terms of which are further described in the Company's Proxy Statement for its 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Upon an option exercise, it is the Company’s policy to issue shares from treasury stock.

To date, the Company has issued stock options, restricted stock and performance stock units under the plans. The Compensation Committee sets the option exercise price at the time of grant, but in no case is the exercise price less than the fair market value of a share of stock at the date of grant.

Stock options

The Company issues stock options, which are primarily time-vesting with

1/3

vesting on each of the first, second and third anniversary of the date of grant or date of hire. The expense associated with the awarded stock options was measured at fair value using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The outstanding option awards vest on a graded basis over 1-3 years of continuous service and have 10-year contractual terms. 32

Table of Contents The Company issued stock options in accordance with the 2023 Plan. The following table summarizes stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2024:

Stock option expense is a component of salaries and benefits in the consolidated statements of operations and totaled $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. At March 31, 2024, there was $0.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted under the plans. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.

Restricted stock awards

The Company issues primarily time-based restricted stock awards that vest over a range of a 1-3 year period. Restricted stock with time-based vesting was valued at the fair value of the shares on the date of grant as they are assumed to be held beyond the vesting period.

Performance stock units

The Company grants performance stock units which represent initial target awards and do not reflect potential increases or decreases resulting from the final performance results, which are to be determined at the end of the three-year performance period (vesting date). The actual number of shares to be awarded at the end of the performance period will range from 0% - 150% of the initial target awards. Sixty percent of the award is based on the Company’s cumulative earnings per share (EPS target) during the performance period, and forty percent of the award is based on the Company’s cumulative total shareholder return (TSR target), or TSR, during the performance period. On the vesting date, the Company’s TSR will be compared to the respective TSRs of the companies comprising the KBW Regional Index at the grant date to determine the shares awarded. The fair value of the EPS target portion of the award was determined based on the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The fair value of the TSR target portion of the award was determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation at the grant date.

In establishing PSU components during 2021, the Compensation Committee determined the EPS target portion of the award would not be an effective metric in light of economic uncertainty surrounding COVID-19. Consequently, the Compensation Committee granted an award based upon a relative return on tangible assets (“ROTA”). Annually, the Company’s ROTA is compared to the respective ROTA of companies comprising the KBW Regional Index. At the end of the measurement period, the Company’s ranking will be averaged to determine the shares awarded. The fair value of the ROTA award was determined based on the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

The weighted-average grant date fair value per unit for the EPS target portion and the TSR target portion granted during 2023 was $33.46 and $27.06, respectively. The initial weighted-average performance price for the TSR target portion granted during 2023 was $42.37. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company canceled 5,707 units due to final performance results related to performance stock units granted on April 1, 2021.

As of March 31, 2024, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to the non-vested restricted stock awards and performance stock units totaled $3.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.9 years and 1.6 years, respectively. Expense related to non-vested restricted stock awards totaled $1.0 million and $0.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Expense related to non-vested performance stock units totaled $0.5 million and $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Expense related to non-vested restricted stock awards and units is a component of salaries and benefits in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Employee stock purchase plan

The 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) is intended to be a qualified plan within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and allows eligible employees to purchase shares of common stock up to a limit of $25,000 per calendar year and 2,000 shares per offering period. The price an employee pays for shares is 90.0% of the fair market value of Company common stock on the last day of the offering period. The offering periods are the six-month periods commencing on March 1 and September 1 of each year and ending on August 31 and February 28 (or February 29 in the case of a leap year) of each year. There are no vesting or other restrictions on the stock purchased by employees under the ESPP. Under the ESPP, the total number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance totaled 400,000 shares, of which 224,299 was available for issuance at March 31, 2024.

Under the ESPP, employees purchased 11,620 shares and 9,741 shares during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Note 13 Common Stock

The Company had 37,806,148 and 37,784,851 shares of Class A common stock outstanding at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Additionally, the Company had 237,662 and 240,584 shares outstanding at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, of restricted Class A common stock issued but not yet vested under the 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan that are not included in shares outstanding until such time that they are vested; however, these shares do have voting and certain dividend rights during the vesting period.

On May 9, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $50.0 million of the Company’s stock from time to time in either the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The remaining authorization under the current program as of March 31, 2024 was $50.0 million.

Note 14 Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates earnings per share under the two-class method, as certain non-vested share awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends. As such, these awards are considered securities that participate in the earnings of the Company. Non-vested shares are discussed further in note 12.

Table of Contents

The Company had 37,806,148 and 37,641,381 shares of Class A common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, exclusive of issued non-vested restricted shares. Certain stock options and non-vested restricted shares are potentially dilutive securities, but are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

The following table illustrates the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

The Company had 749,123 and 715,188 outstanding stock options to purchase common stock at weighted average exercise prices of $30.94 and $29.82 per share at March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which have time-vesting criteria, and as such, any dilution is derived only for the time frame in which the vesting criteria had been met and where the inclusion of those stock options is dilutive. The Company had 386,200 and 296,853 unvested restricted shares and performance stock units issued as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which have performance, market and/or time-vesting criteria, and as such, any dilution is derived only for the time frame in which the vesting criteria had been met and where the inclusion of those restricted shares and units is dilutive.

Note 15 Derivatives

Risk management objective of using derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company has established policies stipulating that neither carrying value nor fair value at risk should exceed established guidelines. The Company has designed strategies to confine these risks within the established limits and identify appropriate trade-offs in the financial structure of its balance sheet. These strategies include the use of derivative financial instruments to help achieve the desired balance sheet repricing structure while meeting the desired objectives of its clients. Currently, the Company employs certain interest rate swaps that are designated as fair value hedges, cash flow hedges and economic hedges. The Company manages a matched book with respect to its derivative instruments in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.

Table of Contents Fair values of derivative instruments on the balance sheet

The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification in the consolidated statements of financial condition as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Information about the valuation methods used to measure fair value is provided in note 17.

Cash flow hedges

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest income and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses floors and collars as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate floors designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty if interest rates fall below the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium. Interest rate collars designated as cash flow hedges involve the payments of variable-rate amounts if interest rates rise above the cap strike rate on the contract and receipt of variable-rate amounts if interest rates fall below the floor strike rate on the contract.

For derivatives that qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into interest income in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized over the life of the hedge on a systematic and rational basis. The earnings recognition of excluded components is included in interest income. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest income as interest payments are received on the Company’s variable-rate assets. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash flow hedges with a notional amount of $200.0 million. The Company expects to reclassify $1.8 million from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (“AOCI”) as a reduction to interest income during the next 12 months.

Fair value hedges

Interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $352.5 million, which were designated as fair value hedges of interest rate risk. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $351.0 million that were designated as fair value hedges. These interest rate swaps were associated with $472.1 million and $469.4 million of the Company’s fixed-rate loans as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, before a gain of $29.1 million and $22.6 million from the fair value hedge adjustment in the carrying amount. The gain is included in loans receivable on the statements of financial condition as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Fair value hedge adjustments included basis adjustments on terminated positions to be amortized through the contractual maturity date of each respective hedged item. Excluding those terminated positions, the fair value hedge adjustments consisted of gains totaling $32.1 million and $25.7 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Table of Contents For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. The Company includes the gain or loss on the hedged items in the same line item as the offsetting loss or gain on the related derivatives.

Non-designated hedges

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and consist of interest rate swaps with commercial banking clients that facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the client swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had matched interest rate swap transactions with an aggregate notional amount of $530.8 million and $464.9 million, respectively, related to this program. Derivative fee income from non-designated hedges totaled $0.9 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

As part of its mortgage banking activities, the Company enters into interest rate lock commitments, which are commitments to originate loans where the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the clients have locked into that interest rate. The Company then locks in the loan and interest rate with an investor and commits to deliver the loan if settlement occurs ("best efforts") or commits to deliver the locked loan in a binding ("mandatory") delivery program with an investor. Fair value changes of certain loans under interest rate lock commitments are hedged with forward sales contracts of MBS. Forward sales contracts of MBS are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in non-interest income. Interest rate lock commitments and commitments to deliver loans to investors are considered derivatives. The market value of interest rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts are not readily ascertainable with precision because they are not actively traded in stand-alone markets. The Company determines the fair value of interest rate lock commitments and delivery contracts by measuring the fair value of the underlying assets. The fair value of the underlying assets is impacted by current interest rates, remaining origination fees, costs of production to be incurred and the probability that the interest rate lock commitments will close or will be funded.

Certain additional risks arise from these forward delivery contracts in that the counterparties to the contracts may not be able to meet the terms of the contracts. The Company does not expect any counterparty to any MBS contract to fail to meet its obligation. Additional risks inherent in mandatory delivery programs include the risk that, if the Company fails to deliver the loans subject to interest rate risk lock commitments, it will still be obligated to “pair off” MBS to the counterparty. Should this be required, the Company could incur significant costs in acquiring replacement loans and such costs could have an adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.

The fair value of the mortgage banking derivative is recorded as a freestanding asset or liability with the change in value being recognized in current earnings during the period of change.

The Company had interest rate lock commitments with a notional value of $29.7 million and forward contracts with a notional value of $30.0 million at March 31, 2024. At December 31, 2023, the Company had interest rate lock commitments with a notional value of $13.8 million and forward contracts with a notional value of $17.7 million.

Credit-risk-related contingent features

The Company has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness for reasons other than an error or omission of an administrative or operational nature, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

The Company also has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well/adequately capitalized institution, then the counterparty has the right to terminate the derivative positions and the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements.

As of March 31, 2024, the termination value of derivatives in a net liability position related to these agreements was zero. The Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties, and as of March 31, 2024, the Company had met these thresholds. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at March 31, 2024, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value.

Table of Contents Note 16 Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various off-balance sheet commitments to help meet the financing needs of clients. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, commercial and consumer lines of credit and standby letters of credit. The same credit policies are applied to these commitments as the loans in the consolidated statements of financial condition; however, these commitments involve varying degrees of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The total amounts of unused commitments do not necessarily represent future credit exposure or cash requirements, as commitments often expire without being drawn upon. However, the contractual amount of these commitments, offset by any additional collateral pledged, represents the Company’s potential credit loss exposure.

Total unfunded commitments at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:


	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Commitments to fund loans	$	706,637	$	724,928
Credit card lines of credit		4,467		6,278
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit		840,932		890,530
Commercial and standby letters of credit		11,681		13,029
Total unfunded commitments	$	1,563,717	$	1,634,765

Commitments to fund loans—Commitments to fund loans are legally binding agreements to lend to clients in accordance with predetermined contractual provisions providing there have been no violations of any conditions specified in the contract. These commitments are generally at variable interest rates and are for specific periods or contain termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. The total amounts of unused commitments are not necessarily representative of future credit exposure or cash requirements, as commitments often expire without being drawn upon.

Credit card lines of credit—The Company extends lines of credit to clients through the use of credit cards issued by NBH Bank. These lines of credit represent the maximum amounts allowed to be funded, many of which will not exhaust the established limits, and as such, these amounts are not necessarily representations of future cash requirements or credit exposure.

Unfunded commitments under lines of credit—In the ordinary course of business, the Company extends revolving credit to its clients. These arrangements may require the payment of a fee.

Commercial and standby letters of credit—As a provider of financial services, the Company routinely issues commercial and standby letters of credit, which may be financial standby letters of credit or performance standby letters of credit. These are various forms of “back-up” commitments to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party. While these arrangements represent a potential cash outlay for the Company, the majority of these letters of credit will expire without being drawn upon. Letters of credit are subject to the same underwriting and credit approval process as traditional loans, and as such, many of them have various forms of collateral securing the commitment, which may include real estate, personal property, receivables or marketable securities.

Contingencies

Mortgage loans sold to investors may be subject to repurchase or indemnification in the event of specific default by the borrower or subsequent discovery that underwriting standards were not met. The Company established a reserve liability for expected losses related to these representations and warranties based upon management’s evaluation of actual and historic loss history, delinquency trends or other documentation or deficiency findings in the portfolio and economic conditions. Charges against the reserve during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 totaling $26 thousand and $46 thousand, respectively, were primarily driven by early payoffs. The Company recorded a repurchase reserve included in other liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition totaling $1.2 million for both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Table of Contents The following table summarizes mortgage repurchase reserve activity for the periods presented:

In the ordinary course of business, the Company and NBH Bank may be subject to litigation. Based upon the available information and advice from the Company’s legal counsel, management does not believe that any potential, threatened or pending litigation to which it is a party will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

Note 17 Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to disclose the fair value of its financial instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. For disclosure purposes, the Company groups its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities into three different levels based on the nature of the instrument and the availability and reliability of the information that is used to determine fair value. The three levels are defined as follows:

●	Level 1—Includes assets or liabilities in which the valuation methodologies are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
●	Level 2—Includes assets or liabilities in which the inputs to the valuation methodologies are based on similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, and other inputs obtained from observable market input.
---	---
●	Level 3—Includes assets or liabilities in which the inputs to the valuation methodology are based on at least one significant assumption that is not observable in the marketplace. These valuations may rely on management’s judgment and may include internally-developed model-based valuation techniques.
---	---

Level 1 inputs are considered to be the most transparent and reliable and level 3 inputs are considered to be the least transparent and reliable. The Company assumes the use of the principal market to conduct a transaction of each particular asset or liability being measured and then considers the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Whenever possible, the Company first looks for quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (level 1 inputs) to value each asset or liability. However, when inputs from identical assets or liabilities on active markets are not available, the Company utilizes market observable data for similar assets and liabilities. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and limits the use of unobservable inputs to occasions when observable inputs are not available. The need to use unobservable inputs generally results from the lack of market liquidity of the actual financial instrument or of the underlying collateral. While third party price indications may be available in those cases, limited trading activity can challenge the observability of those inputs.

Changes in the valuation inputs used for measuring the fair value of financial instruments may occur due to changes in current market conditions or other factors. Such changes may necessitate a transfer of the financial instruments to another level in the hierarchy based on the new inputs used. The Company recognizes these transfers at the end of the reporting period that the transfer occurs. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no transfers of financial instruments between the hierarchy levels.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of each instrument under the valuation hierarchy:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Measured on a Recurring Basis

Investment securities available-for-sale—Investment securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value on a recurring basis. To the extent possible, observable quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value and, as such, these securities are classified as level 1. When quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are not available, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, discounted cash flows or other pricing characteristics are used to estimate fair values and the securities are then classified as level 2. 40

Table of Contents

Loans held for sale—The Company has elected to record loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market at estimated fair value. The portfolio consists primarily of fixed rate residential mortgage loans that are sold within 45 days. The Company estimates fair value based on quoted market prices for similar loans in the secondary market and are classified as level 2.

Interest rate swap derivatives—The Company's derivative instruments are limited to interest rate swaps that may be accounted for as fair value hedges or non-designated hedges. The fair values of the swaps incorporate credit valuation adjustments in order to appropriately reflect nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. The credit valuation adjustment is the dollar amount of the fair value adjustment related to credit risk and utilizes a probability weighted calculation to quantify the potential loss over the life of the trade. The credit valuation adjustments are calculated by determining the total expected exposure of the derivatives (which incorporates both the current and potential future exposure) and then applying the respective counterparties’ credit spreads to the exposure offset by marketable collateral posted, if any. Certain derivative transactions are executed with counterparties who are large financial institutions ("dealers"). International Swaps and Derivative Association Master Agreements ("ISDA") and Credit Support Annexes ("CSA") are employed for all contracts with dealers. These contracts contain bilateral collateral arrangements. The fair value inputs of these financial instruments are determined using discounted cash flow analysis through the use of third-party models whose significant inputs are readily observable market parameters, primarily yield curves, with appropriate adjustments for liquidity and credit risk, and are classified as level 2.

Mortgage banking derivatives—The Company relies on a third-party pricing service to value its mortgage banking derivative financial assets and liabilities, which the Company classifies as a level 3 valuation. The external valuation model to estimate the fair value of its interest rate lock commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale includes grouping the interest rate lock commitments by interest rate and terms, applying an average 85.0% estimated pull-through rate based on historical experience, and then multiplying by quoted investor prices determined to be reasonably applicable to the loan commitment groups based on interest rate, terms, and rate lock expiration dates of the loan commitment groups. The Company also relies on an external valuation model to estimate the fair value of its forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans (i.e., an estimate of what the Company would receive or pay to terminate the forward delivery contract based on market prices for similar financial instruments), which includes matching specific terms and maturities of the forward commitments against applicable investor pricing.

The tables below present the financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 in the consolidated statements of financial condition utilizing the hierarchy structure described above:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Measured on a Non-recurring Basis

Certain assets may be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as conditions warrant. These non-recurring fair value measurements typically result from the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or a write-down occurring during the period.

Individually evaluated loans—The Company records individually evaluated loans based on the fair value of the collateral when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all contractual amounts due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. The Company relies on third-party appraisals and internal assessments, utilizing a discount rate in the range of 6% - 37% with a weighted average discount rate of 12.7%, in determining the estimated fair values of these loans. The inputs used to determine the fair values of loans are considered level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. At March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a specific reserve of $9.8 million related to 13 loans with a carrying balance of $38.2 million. At March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a specific reserve of $4.4 million related to nine loans with a carrying balance of $12.1 million.

OREO—OREO is recorded at the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs using a range of 6% to 10% with a weighted average discount rate of 6.1%. The estimated fair values of OREO are updated periodically and further write-downs may be taken to reflect a new basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there was no impairment related to OREO. The Company recognized $13 thousand of OREO impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The fair values of OREO are derived from third party price opinions or appraisals that generally use an income approach or a market value approach. If reasonable comparable appraisals are not available, the Company may use internally developed models to determine fair values. The inputs used to determine the fair value of OREO properties are considered level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

Mortgage servicing rights—MSRs represent the value associated with servicing residential real estate loans that have been sold to outside investors with servicing retained. The fair value for servicing assets is determined through discounted cash flow analysis and utilizes discount rates ranging from 10.0% to 10.5% with a weighted average rate of 10.0% at March 31, 2024 and prepayment speed assumption ranges of 6.2% to 13.3% with a weighted average rate of 6.3% at March 31, 2024 as inputs. The weighted average MSRs 42

Table of Contents are subject to impairment testing. The carrying values of these MSRs are reviewed quarterly for impairment based upon the calculation of fair value. For purposes of measuring impairment, the MSRs are stratified into certain risk characteristics including note type and note term. If the valuation model reflects a value less than the carrying value, MSRs are adjusted to fair value through a valuation allowance, and the adjustment is included in mortgage banking income in the consolidated statements of operations. There was no MSR impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023. The inputs used to determine the fair values of MSRs are considered level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

SBA servicing asset—The SBA servicing asset represents the value associated with servicing small business real estate loans that have been sold to outside investors with servicing retained. The fair value for the SBA servicing asset is determined through a discounted cash flow analysis and utilizes a weighted average discount rate of 10.2% and a weighted average lifetime constant prepayment rate of 15.7%. The SBA servicing asset is amortized over the period of the estimated future net servicing life of the underlying assets, and it is evaluated quarterly for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to their amortized cost. Impairment is recognized on the income statement to the extent the fair value is less than the capitalized amount of the SBA servicing asset. The Company recorded no impairment for the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023.

The Company may be required to record fair value adjustments on other available-for-sale and municipal securities valued at par on a non-recurring basis.

The tables below provide information regarding losses from assets recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

Note 18 Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is determined based upon quoted market prices to the extent possible; however, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques that may be significantly impacted by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Changes in any of these assumptions could significantly affect the fair value estimates. The fair value of the financial instruments listed below does not reflect a premium or discount that could result from offering all of the Company’s holdings of financial instruments at one time, nor does it reflect the underlying value of the Company, as ASC Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies and are based on the exit price concept within ASC Topic 825 and applied to this disclosure on a prospective basis. Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data in order to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

Table of Contents The fair value of financial instruments at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are set forth below:

Note 19 Acquisition Activities

Cambr Solutions, LLC

On April 3, 2023, NBH Bank completed the acquisition of Cambr Solutions, LLC. Upon closing, Cambr became a stand-alone subsidiary of NBH Bank. The transaction was valued at $46.5 million in the aggregate. NBH Bank determined that the acquisition constituted a business combination as defined in ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, as of the date of the acquisition, the Company recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value. The Company determined fair values in accordance with the guidance provided in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. In many cases, the determination of these fair values required management to make estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions and other future events that are highly subjective in nature and subject to change. Actual results could differ materially.

Cambr is a deposit acquisition and processing platform that generates core deposits from accounts offered through embedded finance companies. At the time of acquisition, Cambr administered approximately $1.7 billion of deposits comprising more than 500,000 FDIC-insured deposit accounts.

Cambr acquisition-related costs totaled $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The results of Cambr are included in the results of the Company subsequent to the acquisition date.

In connection with the Cambr acquisition, the Company recorded $26.9 million of goodwill. The amount of goodwill recorded reflects the expanded market presence, synergies and operational efficiencies that are expected to result from the acquisition. The total amount of goodwill expected to be deductible for tax purposes is $27.8 million. The following is a description of the methods used to determine the fair values of significant assets and liabilities presented above:

Other intangibles—The Company recorded other intangible assets of $18.0 million, including intangibles related to customer relationships and internally developed technology. The other intangible assets were valued by discounting future cash flows to present value. The discount rates applied were derived using market participant assumptions.

The other intangible assets are being amortized over a weighted average period of 9.4 years.

Salaries and benefits increased $3.5 million primarily due to payroll tax credits realized in the first quarter of 2023. Occupancy and equipment increased $0.9 million, and other intangible assets amortization increased $0.6 million due to intangible assets acquired through our Cambr acquisition in April of 2023. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $0.9 million in professional fees.
●		The FTE efficiency ratio, excluding other intangible assets amortization, during the three months ended March 31, 2024 totaled 58.82%, compared to 54.31% during the year ended December 31, 2023.
●		Income tax expense totaled $7.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $10.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 driven by lower pre-tax income. The effective tax rate for the first quarter 2024 was 19.3%, compared to 19.1% for the full year 2023.

Strong capital position


●		Capital ratios continue to be strong and in excess of federal bank regulatory agency “well capitalized” thresholds. As of March 31, 2024, our consolidated tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.99%, and our consolidated common equity tier 1 and tier 1 risk based capital ratios were 12.35%.
●		At March 31, 2024, common book value per share was $32.58. The tangible common book value per share increased $0.55 to $23.32 during the first quarter of 2024 as earnings outpaced the quarterly dividend and a $0.10 increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Key Challenges

Macroeconomic pressures have resulted in volatility and uncertainty in the banking industry. Increases in interest rates, declines in the fair value of securities, lack of available funding, uninsured deposits and risk from concentrations in loan and deposit segments along with declines in commercial real estate property values are drawing increased scrutiny on financial institutions. Liquidity within the financial services sector has tightened, and we expect the intense competition for deposits throughout our markets to continue. While these are widespread challenges for the banking industry, the Company has not experienced a material impact to our financial condition, operations, customer base, liquidity, capital position or risk profile.

Additionally, we face continual challenges implementing our business strategy. These include growing our assets, particularly loans, and deposits amidst intense competition, changing interest rates, adhering to changes in the regulatory environment and identifying and consummating disciplined acquisition and other expansionary opportunities in a very competitive and inflationary environment.

Future growth in our interest income will ultimately be dependent on our ability to originate high-quality loans and other high-quality earning assets such as investment securities as well as our ability to access liquidity and manage our cost of funds. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Federal Reserve increased prevailing interest rates by a total of 100 and 425 basis points, respectively. Our future earnings will be impacted by the Federal Reserve’s future interest rate policy decisions. Management employs risk management policies to monitor and limit exposure to changes in market rates, which is discussed in more detail in the Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Table of Contents Performance Overview

In evaluating our consolidated statements of financial condition and results of operations financial statement line items, we evaluate and manage our performance based on key earnings indicators, balance sheet ratios, asset quality metrics and regulatory capital ratios, among others. The table below presents some of the primary performance indicators that we use to analyze our business on a regular basis for the periods indicated:

We refer to these financial measures and ratios as “non-GAAP financial measures.” We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results or by presenting certain metrics on an FTE basis. We believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and you should not rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. The non-GAAP financial measures we present may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by our peers or other companies. We compensate for these limitations by providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever we present the non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of the impact of the components adjusted for in the non-GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual components may be considered when analyzing our performance. A reconciliation of our GAAP financial measures to the comparable non-GAAP financial measures is as follows:

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates

We use accounting principles and methods that conform to GAAP and general banking practices. We are required to apply significant judgment and make material estimates in the preparation of our financial statements and with regard to various accounting, reporting and disclosure matters. Assumptions and estimates are required to apply these principles where actual measurement is not possible or practical. The most significant of these estimates relate to the determination of the ACL.

Allowance for credit losses

The determination of the ACL, which represents management’s estimate of lifetime credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio at the balance sheet date, involves a high degree of judgment and complexity. The Company estimates the collective ACL by first disaggregating the loan portfolio into segments based upon broad characteristics such as primary use and underlying collateral. Within these segments, the portfolio is further disaggregated into classes of loans with similar attributes and risk characteristics. The collective ACL is determined at the class level, analyzing loss history based upon specific loss drivers and risk factors affecting each loan class. The Company utilizes a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model that incorporates forecasts of certain national macroeconomic factors (reasonable and supportable forecasts) which drive the losses predicted in establishing the Company’s collective ACL. Management accounts for the inherent uncertainty of the underlying economic forecast by reviewing and weighting alternate forecast scenarios. For periods beyond the reasonable and supportable forecast period, the Company reverts to historical long-term average loss rates on a straight-line basis. Additionally, the collective ACL calculation includes subjective adjustments for qualitative risk factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses to differ from historical experience. Changes in these assumptions, estimates or the conditions surrounding them may have a material impact on our financial condition.

Future Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The update requires public business entities to disclose specific categories related to rate reconciliation. It also requires more detailed information for reconciling items, provided certain quantitative thresholds are met. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and are to be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact from ASU 2023-09, and does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements apart from the inclusion of additional disclosures.

On March 6, 2024, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted a new set of rules that require a wide range of climate-related disclosures, including material climate-related risks, information on any climate-related targets or goals that are material to the registrant’s business, results of operations, or financial condition, Scope 1 and Scope 2 Greenhouse Gas emissions on a phased-in basis by certain larger registrants when those emissions are material and the filing of an attestation report covering the same, and disclosure of the financial statement effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions including costs and losses. Compliance dates under the final rule are phased in by registrant category. Multiple lawsuits have been filed challenging the SEC’s 52

Table of Contents new climate rules, which have been consolidated and will be heard in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. On April 4, 2024, the SEC issued an order staying the final rules until judicial review is complete.

Financial Condition

Total assets were $9.9 billion at March 31, 2024, increasing $16.4 million, or 0.2%, from December 31, 2023. Cash and cash equivalents increased $102.1 million, or 53.5%, from December 31, 2023, and investment securities increased $42.6 million, or 3.5%. Loans totaled $7.6 billion at March 31, 2024, compared to $7.7 billion at December 31, 2023, and the allowance for credit losses decreased $0.3 million to $97.6 million at March 31, 2024. During the first quarter of 2024, lower cost demand, savings, and money market deposits ("transaction deposits") increased $313.4 million, or 17.5% annualized, to $7.5 billion, compared to December 31, 2023. Total deposits increased $327.4 million, or 16.1% annualized, to $8.5 billion at March 31, 2024, compared to December 31, 2023.

Investment securities

Available-for-sale

Available-for-sale investment securities totaled $685.7 million at March 31, 2024, compared to $628.8 million at December 31, 2023, an increase of $56.8 million, or 9.0%. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, purchases of available-for sale securities totaled $106.6 million. There were no purchases of available-for-sale securities during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Maturities and paydowns of available-for-sale securities totaled $45.7 million and $22.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Available-for-sale investment securities are summarized as follows as of the dates indicated. The weighted average yield was calculated based on amortized cost. Yields on tax exempt securities have not been adjusted for tax exempt status.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, nearly all of the available-for-sale investment portfolio was backed by mortgages. The residential mortgage pass-through securities portfolio is comprised of both fixed rate and adjustable rate FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA securities. The other mortgage-backed securities are comprised of securities backed by FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA securities.

Mortgage-backed securities may have actual maturities that differ from contractual maturities depending on the repayment characteristics and experience of the underlying financial instruments. The estimated weighted average life of the available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities portfolio was 4.9 years and 5.2 years at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. This estimate is based on assumptions and actual results may differ. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the duration of the total available-for-sale investment portfolio was 4.1 years and 4.3 years, respectively.

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, adjustable rate securities comprised 11.9% and 13.0%, respectively, of the available-for-sale MBS portfolio. The remainder of the portfolio was comprised of fixed rate amortizing securities with 10 to 30 year contractual maturities, with a weighted average coupon of 2.16% per annum and 1.73% per annum at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Table of Contents The available-for-sale investment portfolio included $103.1 million of unrealized losses at March 31, 2024. At December 31, 2023, the available-for-sale investment portfolio included $99.0 million of unrealized losses. We believe any unrealized losses are a result of prevailing interest rates, and as such, we do not believe that any of the securities with unrealized losses were impaired. Management believes that default of the available-for-sale securities is highly unlikely. FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA guaranteed mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury securities have a long history of zero credit losses, an explicit guarantee by the U.S. government (although limited for FNMA and FHLMC securities) and yields that generally trade based on market views of prepayment and liquidity risk rather than credit risk.

Our investment security portfolio consists of high-quality securities, which are largely backed by either U.S. government agencies or U.S. government sponsored entities. We regularly model liquidity stress scenarios to assess potential liquidity issues. The results of our stress testing on our debt security portfolio at March 31, 2024, illustrated that we would continue to meet all capital adequacy requirements.

Held-to-maturity

Held-to-maturity investment securities totaled $570.9 million at March 31, 2024, compared to $585.1 million at December 31, 2023, a decrease of $14.2 million, or 2.4%. There were no purchases of held-to-maturity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, purchases of held-to-maturity securities totaled $2.5 million. Maturities and paydowns of held-to-maturity securities totaled $14.4 million and $16.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Held-to-maturity investment securities are summarized as follows as of the dates indicated:

The residential mortgage pass-through and other residential MBS held-to-maturity investment portfolios are comprised of fixed rate FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA securities.

The fair value of the held-to-maturity investment portfolio included $85.1 million of unrealized losses and $42 thousand of unrealized gains at March 31, 2024. At December 31, 2023, the held-to-maturity investment portfolio included $81.0 million of unrealized losses and $0.2 million of unrealized gains.

The Company does not measure expected credit losses on a financial asset, or groups of financial assets, in which historical credit loss information adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts results in an expectation that nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is zero. Management evaluated held-to-maturity securities noting they are backed by loans guaranteed by either U.S. government agencies or U.S. government sponsored entities, and management believes that default is highly unlikely given this governmental backing and long history without credit losses. Additionally, management notes that yields on which the portfolio generally trades are based upon market views of prepayment and liquidity risk and not credit risk. The Company has no intention to sell the securities and believes it will not be required to sell the securities before the recovery of their amortized cost.

Mortgage-backed securities may have actual maturities that differ from contractual maturities depending on the repayment characteristics and experience of the underlying financial instruments. The estimated weighted average expected life of the held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities portfolio as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was 5.8 years and 5.7 years, respectively. This estimate is based on assumptions and actual results may differ. The duration of the total held-to-maturity investment portfolio was 4.6 years for both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

The Company maintains a granular and well-diversified loan portfolio with self-imposed concentration limits. At March 31, 2024, loans totaled $7.6 billion, compared to $7.7 billion at December 31, 2023.

Our commercial and industrial loan portfolio is highly diversified across industry sectors and geography. At March 31, 2024, there were no industry sectors representing more than 15.0% of our total loan portfolio. Key segments included government/non-profit loans of $780.0 million, or 10.3% of total loans, and health care/hospital loans of $423.0 million, or 5.6% of total loans.

Non-owner occupied CRE loans were 166.7% of the Company’s risk based capital, or 24.6% of total loans, and no specific property type comprised more than 10.0% of total loans. The Company maintains little exposure to non-owner occupied CRE retail properties and office properties, comprising 3.4% of total loans. Multi-family loans totaled $348.5 million, or 4.6% of total loans, as of March 31, 2024.

The agriculture industry continues to be impacted by elevated and volatile commodity prices and intermittent disruptions in supply chains. Our food and agribusiness portfolio is 4.0% of total loans and is well-diversified across food production, crop and livestock types. Crop and livestock loans represent 1.0% of total loans. We have maintained relationships with food and agribusiness clients that generally possess low leverage and, correspondingly, low bank debt to assets, minimizing any potential credit losses in the future.

New loan origination is a direct result of our ability to recruit and retain top banking talent, connect with clients in our markets and provide needed services at competitive rates. Loan fundings totaled $1.3 billion over the past 12 months, led by commercial loan fundings of $0.8 billion. Fundings are defined as closed-end funded loans and revolving lines of credit advances, net of any current period paydowns. Management utilizes this more conservative definition of fundings to better approximate the impact of fundings on loans outstanding and ultimately net interest income. 56

Asset quality

Asset quality is fundamental to our success and remains a strong point, driven by our disciplined adherence to our self-imposed concentration limits across industry sector and real estate property type. Accordingly, for the origination of loans, we have established a credit policy that allows for responsive, yet controlled lending with credit approval requirements that are scaled to loan size. Within the scope of the credit policy, each prospective loan is reviewed in order to determine the appropriateness and the adequacy of the loan characteristics and the security or collateral prior to making a loan. We have established underwriting standards and loan origination procedures that require appropriate documentation, including financial data and credit reports. For loans secured by real property, we require property appraisals, title insurance or a title opinion, hazard insurance and flood insurance, in each case where appropriate.

Additionally, we have implemented procedures to timely identify loans that may become problematic in order to ensure the most beneficial resolution for the Company. Asset quality is monitored by our credit risk management department and evaluated based on quantitative and subjective factors such as the timeliness of contractual payments received. Additional factors that are considered, particularly with commercial loans over $500,000, include the financial condition and liquidity of individual borrowers and guarantors, if any, and the value of our collateral. To facilitate the oversight of asset quality, loans are categorized based on the number of days past due and on an internal risk rating system, and both are discussed in more detail below.

Table of Contents The Company’s policy is to review each prospective credit to determine the appropriateness and the adequacy of security or collateral prior to making a loan. In the event of borrower default, the Company seeks recovery in compliance with lending laws, the respective loan agreements, and credit monitoring and remediation procedures that may include modifying a loan to provide a concession by the Company to the borrower from their original terms due to borrower financial difficulties in order to facilitate repayment. Such modified loans are considered troubled debt modifications (“TDM”). TDMs may include principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, other-than-insignificant-payment delays, term extensions or any combination thereof. Assets that have been foreclosed on or acquired through deed-in-lieu of foreclosure are classified as OREO until sold, and are carried at the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell, with any initial valuation adjustments charged to the ACL and any subsequent declines in carrying value charged to impairments on OREO.

Non-performing assets and past due loans

Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans and OREO. Interest income that would have been recorded had non-accrual loans performed in accordance with their original contract terms during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $0.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Past due status is monitored as an indicator of credit deterioration. Loans are considered past due or delinquent when the contractual principal or interest due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement remains unpaid after the due date of the scheduled payment. Loans that are 90 days or more past due are put on non-accrual status unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection.

The following table sets forth the non-performing assets and past due loans as of the dates presented:


	March 31, 2024		****	December 31, 2023
Non-accrual loans:
Non-accrual loans, excluding modified loans	$	15,740		$	14,756
Modified loans on non-accrual		20,077			13,472
Non-performing loans		35,817			28,228

Total non-performing assets	$	39,881		$	32,316

Loans 30-89 days past due and still accruing interest	$	3,495		$	12,232
Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest		1			591
Non-accrual loans		35,817			28,228
Total past due and non-accrual loans	$	39,313		$	41,051
Accruing modified loans	$	10,819		$	15,148
Allowance for credit losses		97,607			97,947
Non-performing loans to total loans		0.47%			0.37%
Total 90 days past due and still accruing interest and non-accrual loans to total loans		0.47%			0.37%
Total non-performing assets to total loans and OREO		0.53%			0.42%
ACL to non-performing loans		272.52%			346.99%

During the first quarter of 2024, total non-performing loans increased $7.6 million from December 31, 2023. Loans 30-89 days past due and still accruing interest were 0.05% and 0.16% of total loans at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest were zero percent and 0.01% at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Allowance for credit losses

The ACL represents the amount that we believe is necessary to absorb estimated lifetime credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date and involves a high degree of judgment and complexity. The Company utilizes a DCF model developed within a third-party software tool to establish expected lifetime credit losses for the loan portfolio. The ACL is calculated as the difference between the amortized cost basis and the projections from the DCF analysis. The DCF model allows for individual life of loan cash flow modeling, excluding extensions and renewals, using loan-specific interest rates and repayment schedules including estimated prepayment rates and loss recovery timing delays. The model incorporates forecasts of certain national macro-economic factors, including unemployment rates, home price index (“HPI”), retail sales and gross domestic product (“GDP”), which drive correlated loss rates. The determination and application of the ACL accounting policy involves judgments, estimates and uncertainties that are 59

Table of Contents subject to change. For periods beyond the reasonable and supportable forecast period, we revert to historical long-term average loss rates on a straight-line basis.

We measure expected credit losses for loans on a pooled basis when similar risk characteristics exist. We have identified four primary loan segments within the ACL model that are further stratified into 11 loan classes to provide more granularity in analyzing loss history and to allow for more definitive qualitative adjustments based upon specific risk factors affecting each loan class. Generally, the underlying risk of loss for each of these loan segments will follow certain norms/trends in various economic environments. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are not included in the collective evaluation. Following are the loan classes within each of the four primary loan segments:


	Non-owner occupied
Commercial	commercial real estate	Residential real estate	Consumer
Commercial and industrial	Construction	Senior lien	Consumer
Owner occupied commercial real estate	Acquisition and development	Junior lien
Food and agribusiness	Multifamily
Municipal and non-profit	Non-owner occupied

Loans on non-accrual, in bankruptcy and TDMs with a balance greater than $250,000 are excluded from the pooled analysis and are evaluated individually. If management determines that foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses are evaluated based on the criteria listed below, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. Typically, these loans consist of commercial, commercial real estate and agriculture loans and exclude homogeneous loans such as residential real estate and consumer loans. Specific allowances are determined by collectively analyzing:


●		the borrower’s resources, ability and willingness to repay in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement;
●		the likelihood of receiving financial support from any guarantors;
●		the adequacy and present value of future cash flows, less disposal costs, of any collateral; and
●		the impact current economic conditions may have on the borrower’s financial condition and liquidity or the value of the collateral.

The collective resulting ACL for loans is calculated as the sum of the general reserves, specific reserves on individually evaluated loans, and qualitative factor adjustments. While these amounts are calculated by individual loan or on a pool basis by segment and class, the entire ACL is available for any loan that, in our judgment, should be charged-off. The determination and application of the ACL accounting policy involves judgments, estimates, and uncertainties that are subject to change. Changes in these assumptions, estimates or the conditions surrounding them may have a material impact on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

Net charge-offs on loans during the three months ended March 31, 2024 totaled $0.1 million, and the ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average total loans totaled 0.00%. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a decrease in the allowance for credit losses of $0.3 million. Specific reserves on loans totaled $9.8 million at March 31, 2024.

Net charge-offs on loans during the three months ended March 31, 2023 totaled $0.3 million, and the ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average total loans totaled 0.01%. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded an increase in the allowance for credit losses of $1.0 million driven by loan growth. Specific reserves on loans totaled $4.4 million at March 31, 2023.

The Company has elected to exclude AIR from the ACL calculation. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, AIR from loans totaled $45.9 million and $42.4 million, respectively. When a loan is placed on non-accrual, any recorded AIR is reversed against interest income.

Total ACL

After considering the above mentioned factors, we believe that the ACL of $97.6 million is adequate to cover estimated lifetime losses inherent in the loan portfolio at March 31, 2024. However, it is likely that future adjustments to the ACL will be necessary. Any changes to the underlying assumptions, circumstances or estimates, including but not limited to changes in the underlying macro-economic forecast, used in determining the ACL, could negatively or positively affect the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

Table of Contents Deposits

Deposits from banking clients serve as a primary funding source for our banking operations, and our ability to gather and manage deposit levels is critical to our success. Deposits not only provide a lower-cost funding source for our loans, but also provide a foundation for the client relationships that are critical to future loan growth. We maintain a granular and well diversified deposit base with no exposure to venture capital or crypto deposits. The following table presents information regarding our deposit composition at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Long-term debt

The note is subordinated, unsecured and matures on November 15, 2031. Payments consist of interest only. Interest expense on the note is payable semi-annually in arrears and will bear interest at 3.00% per annum until November 15, 2026 (or any earlier redemption date). From November 15, 2026 until November 15, 2031 (or any earlier redemption date) payments will be made quarterly in arrears, and the interest rate shall reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum equal to the then current three-month term SOFR plus 203 basis points. The Company deployed the net proceeds from the sale of the note for general corporate purposes. Prior to November 5, 2026, the Company may redeem the note only under certain limited circumstances. Beginning on November 5, 2026 through maturity, the note may be redeemed, at the Company’s option, on any scheduled interest payment date. Any redemption by the Company would be at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the note being redeemed, together with any accrued and unpaid interest on the note being redeemed up to but excluding the date of redemption. The note is not subject to redemption at the option of the holder.

As part of the acquisition of BOJH on October 1, 2022, the Company assumed three subordinated note purchase agreements to issue and sell fixed-to-floating rates totaling $15.0 million. The balance on the notes at March 31, 2024, net of a fair value adjustment 62

Table of Contents related to the acquisition totaling $0.4 million, totaled $14.6 million. At December 31, 2023, the balance on the notes, net of the fair value adjustment from the acquisition totaling $0.5 million, totaled $14.5 million. Interest expense related to the notes totaling $0.1 million and $0.1 million was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Other borrowings

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company sold securities under agreements to repurchase totaling $19.6 million for both periods. In addition, as a member of the FHLB, the Company has access to a line of credit and term financing from the FHLB with total available credit of $1.8 billion at March 31, 2024. The Company may utilize the FHLB line of credit as a funding mechanism for originated loans and loans held for sale. The Banks had no outstanding borrowings with the FHLB at March 31, 2024. At December 31, 2023, the Company had $340.0 million of outstanding borrowings with the FHLB. The Company may pledge investment securities and loans as collateral for FHLB advances. There were no investment securities pledged at March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023. Loans pledged were $2.5 billion and $2.6 billion at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company incurred $3.2 million and $7.1 million of interest expense related to FHLB advances or other short-term borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Regulatory Capital

Our subsidiary banks and the holding company are subject to the regulatory capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC, as applicable. Failure to meet the minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly further discretionary actions by regulators that could have a material adverse effect on us. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our subsidiary banks and the consolidated holding company exceeded all capital ratio requirements under prompt corrective action and other regulatory requirements, as further detailed in note 10 of our consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations

Our net income depends largely on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income from interest earning assets and interest expense on interest bearing liabilities. Our results of operations are also affected by provisions for credit losses and non-interest income, such as service charges, bank card income, swap fee income, and gain on sale of mortgages. Our primary operating expenses, aside from interest expense, consist of salaries and benefits, occupancy costs, telecommunications data processing expense, FDIC deposit insurance and intangible assets amortization. Any expenses related to the resolution of problem assets are also included in non-interest expense.

Overview of results of operations

Net income totaled $31.4 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $40.3 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in net income was largely driven by lower net interest income due to an increase in cost of funds outpacing the increase in interest income. The return on average tangible assets was 1.39% and 1.80% during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and the return on average tangible common equity was 15.14% and 20.86%, respectively.

Table of Contents Net interest income

We regularly review net interest income metrics to provide us with indicators of how the various components of net interest income are performing. We regularly review: (i) our loan mix and the yield on loans; (ii) the investment portfolio and the related yields; (iii) our deposit mix and the cost of deposits; and (iv) net interest income simulations for various forecast periods.

The effects of trade-date accounting of investment securities for which the cash had not settled are not considered interest earning assets and are excluded from this presentation for time frames prior to their cash settlement, as are the market value adjustments on the investment securities available-for-sale and loans.

Net interest income totaled $84.0 million and $94.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Net interest income on an FTE basis totaled $85.7 million and $96.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The yield on earning assets increased 63 basis points, driven by an increase in earning assets and increases in the Federal Reserve’s interest rates. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the cost of funds totaled 2.25%, compared to 0.90%, for the same period during 2023.

Average loans comprised $7.7 billion, or 83.9%, of total average interest earning assets during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $7.3 billion, or 81.8%, during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in average loan balances was driven by organic loan originations.

Average investment securities comprised 14.6% and 16.4% of total interest earning assets during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Average interest bearing cash balances totaled $91.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $86.8 million for the same period in the prior year.

Average interest bearing liabilities increased $0.9 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was driven by increases in interest bearing demand, savings and money market deposits totaling $1.2 billion, and time deposits of $67.5 million. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in FHLB advances of $369.6 million.

The following table summarizes the changes in net interest income on an FTE basis by major category of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, identifying changes related to volume and changes related to rates for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023:

Provision for credit losses

The provision for credit losses represents the amount of expense that is necessary to bring the ACL to a level that we deem appropriate to absorb estimated lifetime losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The determination of the ACL, and the resultant provision for credit losses, is subjective and involves significant estimates and assumptions.

The Company recorded no provision expense for credit loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a provision expense for credit losses of $0.9 million, driven by loan growth. The allowance for credit losses totaled 1.29% of total loans at March 31, 2024, compared to the allowance for credit losses of 1.23% at March 31, 2023.

Non-interest income

The table below details the components of non-interest income for the periods presented:


		For the three months ended March 31,					2024 vs 2023
							Increase (decrease)

Total non-interest income		$	17,694		$	14,665	$	3,029	20.7%

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, non-interest income increased $3.0 million, or 20.7%, compared to the first quarter of 2023. The increase was driven by our diversified sources of fee revenue. Other non-interest income increased $3.3 million and included increases in SBA loan income, trust income, Cambr income, fair value adjustments on company-owned life insurance, swap fee income and a $0.6 million gain from the sale of a banking center building. Service charges and bank card fees increased a combined $0.2 million. Mortgage banking income decreased $0.6 million.

Total non-interest expense	$	62,834		$	58,292	$	4,542	7.8%

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, non-interest expense increased $4.5 million, or 7.8%, compared to the first quarter of 2023. Salaries and benefits increased $3.5 million primarily due to payroll tax credits realized in the first quarter of 2023. Occupancy and equipment increased $0.9 million, and other intangible assets amortization increased $0.6 million due to intangible assets acquired through our Cambr acquisition in April of 2023. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $0.9 million in professional fees and a $0.8 million reduction in FDIC deposit insurance expense.

Income taxes

Income tax expense was $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to an income tax expense of $10.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 19.3%, compared to 20.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Additional information regarding income taxes can be found in note 19 of our audited consolidated financial statements in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Liquidity risk management is an important element in our asset/liability management. Liquidity is monitored and managed to ensure that sufficient funds are available to operate our business and pay our obligations to depositors and other creditors, while providing ample available funds for opportunistic and strategic investments. The Company’s corporate treasury team measures liquidity needs through daily cash monitoring, weekly cash projections and monthly liquidity measures reviewed in conjunction with Board-approved liquidity policy limits. We also regularly conduct Board-approved contingency funding plan stress tests to assess potential liquidity outflows or funding problems resulting from economic disruptions, volatility in the financial markets, unexpected credit events or other significant occurrences deemed problematic by management. These scenarios are incorporated into our contingency funding plan, which provides the basis for the identification of our liquidity needs and are monitored monthly by our Asset and Liability Committee. As of March 31, 2024, the Banks had sufficient liquidity to cover all expected and unexpected uses of cash as modeled by various short-term and long-term liquidity stress scenarios.

Our primary sources of funds include but are not limited to cash on hand, the investment securities portfolio, federal funds purchased, deposits, funds provided from operations, prepayments and maturities of loans. 67

Table of Contents

On-balance sheet liquidity is represented by our cash and cash equivalents, and unencumbered investment securities, and is detailed in the table below as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:


	****	March 31, 2024		****	December 31, 2023
Cash and due from banks		$	292,931		$	190,826
Unencumbered investment securities, at fair value			408,009			338,555
Total		$	700,940		$	529,381

Total on-balance sheet liquidity increased $171.6 million at March 31, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023, due to higher cash and due from banks of $102.1 million and higher unencumbered investment securities of $69.5 million.

We have access to various off-balance sheet third party funding sources including the ability to access immediate funding through FHLB advances, the Federal Reserve discount window, Cambr deposits and the brokered deposit marketplace, whereby deposits could be purchased in a wholesale market as an alternate source of funding. We anticipate having access to capital markets including the ability to issue debt or issue shares of our common stock or other equity or equity-related securities.

The Company had pledged $2.5 billion of loans as collateral to the FHLB at March 31, 2024 and $2.6 billion at December 31, 2023. FHLB borrowing availability, lines of credit and other short-term borrowing availability totaled $1.8 billion at March 31, 2024. At March 31, 2024, the Company had no outstanding borrowings with the FHLB. At December 31, 2023, the Company had $340.0 million of outstanding borrowings with the FHLB.

The Company’s acquisition of Cambr Solutions, LLC in April 2023 also added a funding source by providing on-demand access to bring deposits onto our balance sheet. We anticipate that the sources of liquidity discussed above will provide adequate funding and liquidity for at least a 12-month period, and we may utilize any combination of these funding sources for long-term liquidity needs if deemed prudent.

Our primary uses of funds are loan fundings, investment security purchases, withdrawals of deposits, capital expenditures, operating expenses, and share repurchases.

At present, financing activities primarily consist of changes in deposits and repurchase agreements, and advances from the FHLB, in addition to the payment of dividends and the repurchase of our common stock. Maturing time deposits represent a potential use of funds. As of March 31, 2024, $746.1 million of time deposits were scheduled to mature within 12 months. Based on the current interest rate environment and market conditions, our consumer banking strategy is to focus on attracting and maintaining both lower cost transaction accounts and time deposits.

During 2021, the Company entered into a subordinated note purchase agreement to issue and sell a fixed-to-floating note. The Company deployed the net proceeds from the sale of the note for general corporate purposes. The note is not subject to redemption at the option of the holder. Additionally, as part of the acquisition of BOJH on October 1, 2022, the Company assumed three subordinated note purchase agreements to issue and sell fixed-to-floating rate notes. The balance on all subordinated notes totaled $54.3 million at March 31, 2024. At December 31, 2023, the balance on the notes, totaled $54.2 million.

Exclusive from the investing activities related to acquisitions, our primary investing activities are loan fundings and pay-offs and paydowns of loans and purchases and sales of investment securities. At March 31, 2024, pledgeable investment securities represented a significant source of liquidity. Our available-for-sale investment securities are carried at fair value and our held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost. Our collective investment securities portfolio totaled $1.3 billion at March 31, 2024, inclusive of pre-tax net unrealized losses of $103.1 million on the available-for-sale securities portfolio. Additionally, our held-to-maturity securities portfolio had $85.1 million of pre-tax net unrealized losses at March 31, 2024. The gross unrealized gains and losses are detailed in note 3 of our consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2024, our investment securities portfolio consisted primarily of MBS, all of which were issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies or sponsored enterprises. The anticipated repayments and marketability of these securities offer substantial resources and flexibility to meet new loan demand, reinvest in the investment securities portfolio, or provide optionality for reductions in our deposit funding base.

Table of Contents Capital

Under the Basel III requirements, at March 31, 2024, the Company, NBH Bank and Bank of Jackson Hole Trust met all capital adequacy requirements, and the Banks had regulatory capital ratios in excess of the levels established for well-capitalized institutions. For more information on regulatory capital, see note 10 in our consolidated financial statements.

Our shareholders' equity is impacted by earnings, changes in unrealized gains and losses on securities, net of tax, stock-based compensation activity, share repurchases, shares issued in connection with acquisitions and the payment of dividends.

The Board of Directors has from time to time authorized multiple programs to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock either in open market or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable regulations of the SEC. On May 9, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new program to repurchase up to $50.0 million of the Company’s stock. The remaining authorization under the program as of March 31, 2024 was $50.0 million.

On May 1, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.28 per common share, payable on June 14, 2024 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 31, 2024.

Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk

The Board of Directors meets as often as necessary, but no less than quarterly, to review financial statements, public filings, significant accounting policy changes and any risk management issues. The Board also oversees the performance of our internal audit function as well as serves as an independent and objective body to monitor and assess our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements as well as internal control systems. Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for managing interest rate risk and employing risk management policies that monitor and limit this exposure. Interest rate risk is measured using net interest income simulations and market value of portfolio equity analyses. These analyses use various assumptions, including the nature and timing of interest rate changes, yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, and reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows.

Interest rate risk results from following:


●		Repricing risk — timing differences in the repricing and maturity of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities;
●		Option risk — changes in the expected maturities of assets and liabilities, such as borrowers’ ability to prepay loans at any time and depositors’ ability to redeem certificates of deposit before maturity;
●		Yield curve risk — changes in the yield curve where interest rates increase or decrease in a nonparallel fashion; and
●		Basis risk — changes in spread relationships between different yield curves.

The Asset Liability Committee, a cross-functional committee comprised of executive management and senior leaders, meets monthly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of the Company's assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, local and national market conditions and interest rates. The Asset Liability Committee also reviews the liquidity, capital, deposit mix, loan mix and investment positions of the Company. The Company's principal objective regarding asset and liability management is to evaluate interest rate risk within the balance sheet and pursue a controlled assumption of interest rate risk while preserving adequate levels of liquidity and capital.

Instantaneous parallel rate shift scenarios are modeled and utilized to evaluate risk and establish exposure limits for acceptable changes in net interest margin. These scenarios, known as rate shocks, simulate an instantaneous change in interest rates and utilize various assumptions, including, but not limited to, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment and replacement of asset and liability cash flows.

We also analyze the economic value of equity as a secondary measure of interest rate risk. This is a complementary measure to net interest income where the calculated value is the result of the market value of assets less the market value of liabilities. The economic value of equity is a longer term view of interest rate risk because it measures the present value of the future cash flows. The impact of changes in interest rates on this calculation is analyzed for the risk to our future earnings and is used in conjunction with the analyses on net interest income.

Our interest rate risk model indicated that the Company was in a relatively neutral position in terms of interest rate sensitivity at March 31, 2024. At March 31, 2024, our liability sensitivity position increased slightly from December 31, 2023, primarily driven by 69

Table of Contents balance sheet mix change, mainly due to shifting of non-interest bearing deposits into interest-bearing deposits. The table below illustrates the impact of an immediate and sustained 200 and 100 basis point increase and a 100 and 200 basis point decrease in interest rates on net interest income based on the interest rate risk model at March 31, 2024 at the respective dates:


Hypothetical
shift in interest	% change in projected net interest income
rates (in bps)	March 31, 2024	****	December 31, 2023
200	(0.19)%		(0.18)%
100	(0.05)%		(0.06)%
(100)	(0.23)%		(0.09)%
(200)	(0.61)%		(0.33)%

Many assumptions are used to calculate the impact of interest rate fluctuations. Actual results may be significantly different than our projections due to several factors, including the timing and frequency of rate changes, market conditions and the shape of the yield curve. The computations of interest rate risk shown above do not include actions that management may undertake to manage the risks in response to anticipated changes in interest rates and actual results may also differ due to any actions taken in response to the changing rates.

As part of the asset/liability management strategy to manage primary market risk exposures expected to be in effect in future reporting periods, management has executed interest rate derivatives primarily using floors and collars. For further discussion of the Company’s derivative contracts refer to note 15. The strategy with respect to liabilities has been to continue to emphasize transaction deposit growth, particularly non-interest or low interest bearing non-maturing deposit accounts while building long-term client relationships. Non-maturing deposit accounts totaled 88.3% of total deposits at March 31, 2024, compared to 88.0% at December 31, 2023.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increasing operating costs and non-interest expense. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, changes in interest rates have a more significant impact on our performance than do changes in the general rate of inflation and changes in prices. Interest rate changes do not necessarily move in the same direction, nor have the same magnitude, as changes in the prices of goods and services. Although not as critical to the banking industry as many other industries, inflationary factors may have some impact on our ability to grow, total assets, earnings and capital levels. While we plan to continue our disciplined approach to expense management, an inflationary environment may cause wage pressures and general increases in our cost of doing business, which may increase our non-interest expense.

Off-Balance Sheet Activities

In the normal course of business, we are a party to various contractual obligations, commitments and other off-balance sheet activities that contain credit, market, and operational risk that are not required to be reflected in our consolidated financial statements. The most significant of these are the loan commitments that we enter into to meet the financing needs of clients, including commitments to extend credit, commercial and consumer lines of credit and standby letters of credit. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had loan commitments totaling $1.6 billion for both periods, and standby letters of credit that totaled $11.7 million and $13.0 million, respectively. Unused commitments do not necessarily represent future credit exposure or cash requirements, as commitments often expire without being drawn upon.
