FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other than those concerning historical information, should be considered forward-looking statements pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and are based on the beliefs and assumptions of management and on the information available to management at the time that this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was prepared. These statements can be identified by the use of words like “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” and “believe,” variations of these words and other similar expressions. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to, (1) competition in the markets served by the registrant and its subsidiaries, (2) changes in the interest rate environment, (3) general national, regional or local economic conditions may be less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality and the possible impairment of collectibility of loans, (4) legislative or regulatory changes, including changes in accounting standards, (5) significant changes in the federal and state legal and regulatory environments and tax laws, (6) the impact of changes in monetary and fiscal policies, laws, rules and regulations and (7) other risks and factors identified in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to, those described in the registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial statements of Peoples Bancorp of North Carolina, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Peoples Bank (the “Bank”), along with the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Peoples Investment Services, Inc. (“PIS”), Real Estate Advisory Services, Inc. (“REAS”), Community Bank Real Estate Solutions, LLC (“CBRES”) and PB Real Estate Holdings, LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In June 2006,
The Consolidated Financial Statements in this report (other than the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2025) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Management has determined that the Company has two significant operating segments: Banking Operations and CBRES, as discussed more fully in Note 9. In determining the appropriateness of segment definition, the Company considers the criteria of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, Segment Reporting.
The Company’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition. Many of the Company’s accounting policies require significant judgment regarding valuation of assets and liabilities and/or significant interpretation of the specific accounting guidance. A description of the Company’s significant accounting policies can be found in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report to Shareholders, attached as Appendix A to the Proxy Statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. There have been no significant changes to the application of significant accounting policies since December 31, 2025.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The following table provides a summary of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that the Company has not adopted as of June 30, 2026, which may impact the Company’s financial statements.
ASU | Description | Effective Date | Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters |
ASU 2024-03—Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) | The ASU requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities (PBEs). | Annual reporting periods after December 15, 2026. | The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. The adoption of this guidance is expected to have an immaterial impact on disclosures. |
ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income— Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220- 40) | The ASU clarifies that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. | Annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. | The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. The adoption of this guidance is expected to have an immaterial impact on disclosures. |
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

(2) Comprehensive Income
The Company reports as comprehensive income all changes in shareholders’ equity during the year from sources other than shareholders. Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to all components (revenues, expenses, gains, and losses) of comprehensive income (loss) that are excluded from net income. The Company’s only component of other comprehensive income (loss) is unrealized gains and losses, net of income tax, on investment securities available for sale.
The following table presents the changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

(3) Net Earnings Per Share
Net earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period while the effects of potential shares outstanding during the period are included in diluted earnings per share. The average market price during the applicable period is used to compute equivalent shares.
Shares held in the deferred compensation plan by the deferred compensation trust are excluded for purposes of calculating the weighted average number of shares outstanding and basic earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260-10-45-40 and ASC 260-10-45-45 through ASC 260-10-45-46. The reconciliation of the amounts used in the computation of both basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is as follows:

The Bank makes loans and extensions of credit primarily within the Catawba Valley region of North Carolina, which encompasses Catawba, Alexander, Iredell and Lincoln counties and also in Mecklenburg, Rowan and Forsyth counties of North Carolina. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of the loan portfolio is collateralized by improved and unimproved real estate, the value of which is dependent upon the real estate market. Risk characteristics of the major components of the Bank’s loan portfolio are discussed below:
| · | Construction and land development loans – The risk of loss is largely dependent on the initial estimate of whether the property’s value at completion equals or exceeds the cost of property construction and the availability of take-out financing. During the construction phase, a number of factors can result in delays or cost overruns. If the estimate is inaccurate or if actual construction costs exceed estimates, the value of the property securing the loan may be insufficient to ensure full repayment when completed through a permanent loan, sale of the property, or by seizure of collateral. |
|
|
|
| · | Single-family residential loans – Declining home sales volumes, decreased real estate values and higher than normal levels of unemployment could contribute to losses on these loans. |
|
|
|
| · | Commercial real estate loans – Repayment is dependent on income being generated in amounts sufficient to cover operating expenses and debt service. These loans also involve greater risk because they are generally not fully amortizing over the loan period, but rather have a balloon payment due at maturity. A borrower’s ability to make a balloon payment typically will depend on being able to either refinance the loan or timely sell the underlying property. |
|
|
|
| · | Commercial loans – Repayment is generally dependent upon the successful operation of the borrower’s business. In addition, the collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, be difficult to appraise, be illiquid, or fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. |
|
|
|
| · | Multifamily and farmland loans – Decreased real estate values and higher than normal levels of unemployment could contribute to losses on these loans. |

Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received within 30 days of the date such payments were due. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions. Generally, a loan is placed on non-accrual status when it is over 90 days past due and there is reasonable doubt that all principal will be collected. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received in excess of principal due. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
The following tables present an age analysis of past due loans, by loan type, as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

The allowance for credit losses incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each asset upon origination or acquisition. The starting point for the estimate of the allowance for credit losses is historical loss information, which includes losses from modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification.
A change to the allowance for credit losses is evaluated based on the nature of the modification. Occasionally, the Bank modifies loans by providing principal forgiveness on certain loans. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amortized cost basis of the asset is written off against the allowance for credit losses. The amount of the principal forgiveness is deemed to be uncollectible; therefore, that portion of the loan is written off, resulting in a reduction of the amortized cost basis and a corresponding adjustment to the allowance for credit losses.

In some cases, the Bank may modify a certain loan by providing multiple types of concessions. Typically, one type of concession, such as a term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession, such as principal forgiveness, may be granted.
No loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty were modified during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Management uses several measures to assess and monitor the credit risks in the loan portfolio, including a loan grading system that begins upon loan origination and continues until the loan is collected or collectability becomes doubtful. Upon loan origination, the Bank’s originating loan officer evaluates the quality of the loan and assigns one of eight risk grades. The loan officer monitors the loan’s performance and credit quality and makes changes to the credit grade as conditions warrant. When originated or renewed, all loans over a certain dollar amount receive in-depth reviews and risk assessments by the Bank’s Credit Administration. Before making any changes in these risk grades, management considers assessments as determined by the third-party credit review firm (as described below), regulatory examiners and the Bank’s Credit Administration. Any issues regarding the risk assessments are addressed by the Bank’s senior credit administrators and factored into management’s decision to originate or renew the loan. The Bank Board reviews, on a monthly basis, an analysis of the Bank’s reserves relative to the range of reserves estimated by the Bank’s Credit Administration.
As an additional measure, the Bank engages an independent third party to review the underwriting, documentation and risk grading analyses.
Management considers certain commercial loans with weak credit risk grades to be individually impaired and measures such impairment based upon available cash flows and the value of the collateral. Allowance or reserve levels are estimated for all other graded loans in the portfolio based on their assigned credit risk grade, type of loan and other matters related to credit risk.
Management uses the information developed from the procedures described above in evaluating and grading the loan portfolio. This continual grading process is used to monitor the credit quality of the loan portfolio and to assist management in estimating the allowance. The provision for credit losses charged or credited to earnings is based upon management’s judgment of the amount necessary to maintain the allowance at a level appropriate to absorb expected credit losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The amount each quarter is dependent upon many factors, including growth and changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, net charge-offs, delinquencies, management’s assessment of loan portfolio quality, the value of collateral, and other macro-economic factors and trends. The evaluation of these factors is performed quarterly by management through an analysis of the appropriateness of the allowance.

| Table of Contents |
The Bank utilizes several credit quality indicators to manage credit risk in an ongoing manner. The Bank uses an internal risk grade system that categorizes loans into pass, watch or substandard categories.
The Bank uses the following credit quality indicators:
| · | Pass – Includes loans ranging from excellent quality with a minimal amount of credit risk to loans with higher risk and servicing needs but still are considered to be acceptable. The higher risk loans in this category are not problem credits presently, but may be in the future if the borrower is unable to change its present course. |
| · | Watch – These loans are currently performing satisfactorily, but there has been some recent past due history on repayment and there are potential weaknesses that may, if not corrected, weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Bank’s position at some future date. |
| · | Substandard – A Substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged (if there is any). There is a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. There is a distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. |
| · | Doubtful – Loans classified Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified Substandard, plus the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values highly questionable and improbable. |
| · | Loss – Loans classified Loss are considered uncollectable and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this worthless loan even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. |

(7) Commitments and Contingencies
The Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in particular classes of financial instruments.
The exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

| Table of Contents |
In most cases, the Bank requires collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk.

Commitments to extend credit are conditional agreements to lend to a customer. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and because they may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount of $
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to pay a third party on behalf of a customer. Those letters of credit are primarily issued to businesses in the Bank’s delineated market area. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank holds real estate, equipment, automobiles and customer deposits as collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.
The Company maintains an allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded balances for existing lines of credit, commitments to extend future credit, when this extension of credit is not unconditionally cancelable. The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for credit loss expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur, which is based on historical funding activity and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life, which are the same loss rates that are used in computing the allowance for credit losses on loans. The allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments of $

(8) Fair Value
The Company is required to disclose fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized at fair value on the face of the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The assumptions used in the estimation of the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments are detailed below. Where quoted prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using discounted cash flows and other valuation techniques. The use of discounted cash flows can be significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. The following disclosures should not be considered a surrogate of the liquidation value of the Company, but rather a good faith estimate of the increase or decrease in the value of financial instruments held by the Company since purchase, origination, or issuance.
The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
| · | Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. |
| · | Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. |
| · | Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. |
| 24 |
| Table of Contents |
Investment Securities Available for Sale
Fair values of investment securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges when available. If quoted prices are not available, fair value is determined using matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. Fair values for investment securities with quoted market prices are reported in the Level 1 fair value category. Fair value measurements obtained from independent pricing services are reported in the Level 2 fair value category. All other fair value measurements are reported in the Level 3 fair value category.
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at lower of aggregate cost or market value. The cost of mortgage loans held for sale approximates the market value. Mortgage loans held for sale are reported in the Level 2 fair value category.
Loans
The fair value of loans, excluding previously presented individually evaluated loans measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. The discount rates used to determine fair value use interest rate spreads that reflect factors such as liquidity, credit, and nonperformance risk of the loans. Loans are reported in the Level 3 fair value category, as the pricing of loans is more subjective than the pricing of other financial instruments.
Mutual Funds
Mutual funds held in the deferred compensation trust are carried at fair value. Mutual funds held in the deferred compensation trust are included in other assets on the balance sheet and reported in the Level 1 fair value category.
FHLB Borrowings
The fair value of FHLB borrowings is estimated based upon discounted future cash flows using a discount rate comparable to the current market rate for such borrowings. FHLB borrowings are reported in the Level 2 fair value category. Management determined that the valuation technique used at current period end and prior period end are more appropriately classified as Level 2 and has updated in the current period and prior period year end classifications to Level 2.
Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit
Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are generally short-term in duration and made at variable interest rates. Therefore, both the carrying value and estimated fair value associated with these instruments are immaterial.
Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on many judgments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments include deferred income taxes and premises and equipment. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

The fair value measurements for individually evaluated loans and other real estate on a non-recurring basis at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are presented below. The fair value measurement process uses certified appraisals and other market-based information; however, in many cases, it also requires significant input based on management’s knowledge of, and judgment about, current market conditions, specific issues relating to the collateral and other matters. As a result, all fair value measurements for individually evaluated loans and other real estate are considered Level 3.

(9) Reportable Segments
The Company has two reportable segments as described below:
Banking Operations – This segment reflects the consolidated Bank, excluding CBRES. The primary source of revenue for this segment is net interest income.
CBRES – A Bank subsidiary that provides appraisal management services to community banks. The primary source of revenue for this segment is appraisal management fee income.
The Bank’s executive management team, which is comprised of the Bank’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and executive vice presidents, is the chief operating decision maker for the Company. The Bank’s executive management team reviews actual net income versus budgeted net income for the Banking Operations and CBRES operating segments on a quarterly basis to assess segment performance.
| 27 |
| Table of Contents |
The following table presents financial information for the reportable segments. Financial results by operating segment, including significant expense categories provided to the chief operating decision maker, are detailed below. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The information provided under the caption “Other” represents the parent company, which is not considered to be a reportable segment, is included to reconcile the results of the operating segments to the consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is a discussion of the financial position and results of operations of the Company and should be read in conjunction with the information set forth under Item 1A Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto on pages A-20 through A-62 of the Company’s 2025 Annual Report to Shareholders which is Appendix A to the Proxy Statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
Introduction
Management’s discussion and analysis of earnings and related data are presented to assist in understanding the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The Company is the parent company of the Bank and a registered bank holding company operating under the supervision of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”). The Bank is a North Carolina-chartered bank, with offices in Catawba, Lincoln, Alexander, Mecklenburg, Iredell, Rowan and Forsyth counties, operating under the banking laws of North Carolina and the rules and regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”).
Overview
Our business consists principally of attracting deposits from the general public and investing these funds in commercial loans, real estate mortgage loans, real estate construction loans and consumer loans. Our profitability depends primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between the income we receive on our loan and investment securities portfolios and our cost of funds, which consists of interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest income also is affected by the relative amounts of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. When interest-earning assets approximate or exceed interest-bearing liabilities, a positive interest rate spread will generate net interest income. Our profitability is also affected by the level of other income and operating expenses. Other income consists primarily of miscellaneous fees related to our loans and deposits, mortgage banking income and commissions from sales of annuities and mutual funds. Operating expenses consist of compensation and benefits, occupancy related expenses, federal deposit and other insurance premiums, data processing, advertising and other expenses.
Our operations are influenced significantly by local economic conditions and by policies of financial institution regulatory authorities. The earnings on our assets are influenced by the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve, inflation, interest rates, market and monetary fluctuations. Lending activities are affected by the demand for commercial and other types of loans, which in turn is affected by the interest rates at which such financing may be offered. Our cost of funds is influenced by interest rates on competing investments and by rates offered on similar investments by competing financial institutions in our market area, as well as general market interest rates. These factors can cause fluctuations in our net interest income and other income. In addition, local economic conditions can impact the credit risk of our loan portfolio, in that (1) local employers may be required to eliminate employment positions of individual borrowers, and (2) small businesses and commercial borrowers may experience a downturn in their operating performance and become unable to make timely payments on their loans. Management evaluates these factors in estimating the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”, “allowance for credit losses”, or “allowance”) and changes in these economic factors could result in increases or decreases to the provision for loan losses.
The Federal Reserve Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) increased the target federal funds rate 500 basis points between March 2022 and July 2023 to address the supply-chain disruption and rising inflation that had developed in the markets. The target federal funds rate was lowered 175 basis points between September 2024 and December 2025 to a range of 3.50% to 3.75% at June 30, 2026. We believe that economic conditions in our market area continue to be relatively stable and as a result businesses in our market area continue to grow and invest. Our experience is that the uncertainty expressed in the national and international markets through the primary economic indicators of activity are not as pronounced in our local market, and as a result we expect continued moderate economic growth in our market area.
Although we are unable to control the external factors that influence our business, by maintaining high levels of balance sheet liquidity, managing our interest rate exposures and by actively monitoring asset quality, we seek to minimize the potentially adverse risks of unforeseen and unfavorable economic trends. Because the assets and liabilities of a bank are primarily monetary in nature (payable in fixed, determinable amounts), the performance of a bank is affected more by changes in interest rates than by inflation. Interest rates generally increase as the rate of inflation increases, but the magnitude of the change in rates may not be the same. The effect of inflation on banks is normally not as significant as its influence on those businesses that have large investments in plants and inventories. During periods of high inflation there are normally corresponding increases in the money supply, and banks will normally experience above average growth in assets, loans, and deposits. Also, general increases in the price of goods and services can be expected to result in increased operating expenses.

Our business emphasis has been and continues to be to operate as a well-capitalized, profitable and independent community-oriented financial institution dedicated to providing quality customer service. We are committed to meeting the financial needs of the communities in which we operate. We expect growth to be achieved in our local markets and through expansion opportunities in contiguous or nearby markets. While we would be willing to consider growth by acquisition in certain circumstances, we do not consider the acquisition of another company to be necessary for our continued ability to provide a reasonable return to our shareholders. We believe that we can be more effective in serving our customers than many of our non-local competitors because of our ability to quickly and effectively provide senior management responses to customer needs and inquiries. Our ability to provide these services is enhanced by the stability and experience of our Bank officers and managers.
Summary of Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition. Many of the Company’s accounting policies require significant judgment regarding valuation of assets and liabilities and/or significant interpretation of specific accounting guidance. A complete description of the Company’s significant accounting policies can be found in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report to Shareholders which is Appendix A to the Proxy Statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. There have been no significant changes to the application of significant accounting policies since December 31, 2025.
Results of Operations
Summary. Net earnings were $5.2 million or $0.98 per share and $0.96 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $5.2 million or $0.97 per share and $0.95 per diluted share for the prior year period. The increase in second quarter net earnings is primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income, which was partially offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses, a decrease in non-interest income and an increase in non-interest expense, compared to the prior year period, as discussed below.
Net earnings were $9.6 million or $1.81 per share and $1.76 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $9.5 million or $1.79 per share and $1.74 per diluted share for the same period one year ago. The increase in year-to-date net earnings is primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income, which was partially offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses, a decrease in non-interest income and an increase in non-interest expense, compared to the prior year period, as discussed below.
The annualized return on average assets was 1.13% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 1.15% for the same period one year ago, and annualized return on average shareholders’ equity was 12.22% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 14.06% for the same period one year ago.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income, the major component of the Company’s net income, is the amount by which interest and fees generated by interest-earning assets exceed the total cost of funds used to carry them. Net interest income is affected by changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as changes in the yields earned and rates paid. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing tax-equivalent net interest income by average interest-earning assets, and represents the Company’s net yield on its interest-earning assets.
Net interest income was $16.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $14.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in net interest income is due to a $806,000 increase in interest income and a $565,000 decrease in interest expense. Net interest income after the provision for credit losses was $15.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $14.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $293,000, compared to a recovery of $213,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in the provision for credit losses reflects continued growth in total loans, which increased $36.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to an increase of $5.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025. Additionally, the increase in the provision for credit losses includes a $29,000 increase in net charge-offs during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Interest income was $21.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $20.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in interest income is primarily due to a $1.5 million increase in interest income and fees on loans, which was partially offset by a $511,000 decrease in interest income on balances due from banks and a $231,000 decrease in interest income on investment securities. The increase in interest income and fees on loans is primarily due to an increase in total loans. The decrease in interest income on balances due from banks is due to a decrease in average balances outstanding and rate decreases implemented by the FOMC. The decrease in interest income on investment securities is due to a reduction in balances outstanding and decreases in yields on variable rate securities. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, average loans were $1.25 billion, an increase of $96.2 million from average loans of $1.16 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2025. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, average investment securities were $411.2 million, a decrease of $7.8 million from average investment securities of $419.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The average yield on loans for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was 5.83% and 5.78%, respectively. The average yield on investment securities available for sale was 3.03% and 3.21% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The average yield on earning assets was 5.12% and 5.07% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Interest expense was $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to a decrease in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities resulting from rate decreases implemented by the FOMC. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, average interest-bearing non-maturity deposits were $811.7 million, an increase of $61.4 million from average interest-bearing non-maturity deposits of $750.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, average certificates of deposit were $315.9 million, a decrease of $37.4 million from average certificates of deposit of $353.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The average rate paid on interest-bearing checking and savings accounts was 1.51% and 1.46% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The average rate paid on certificates of deposit was 2.90% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 3.58% for the same period one year ago. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 1.95% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 2.19% for the same period one year ago.
The following table sets forth for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the average amounts outstanding, the interest incurred on such amounts and the average rate earned or incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The table also sets forth the average rate earned on total interest-earning assets, the average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities, and the net yield on total average interest-earning assets for the same periods. Yield information does not give effect to changes in fair value of available for sale investment securities that are reflected as a component of shareholders’ equity. Yields and interest income on tax-exempt investments for the three months ended June 30, 2026 have been adjusted to present this information on a tax equivalent basis using an effective tax rate of 22.58% for securities that are both federal and state tax exempt and an effective tax rate of 20.58% for federal tax-exempt securities. Yields and interest income on tax-exempt investments for the three months ended June 30, 2025 have been adjusted to present this information on a tax equivalent basis using an effective tax rate of 22.78% for securities that are both federal and state tax exempt and an effective tax rate of 20.53% for federal tax-exempt securities. Non-accrual loans and the interest income that was recorded on non-accrual loans, if any, are included in the yield calculations for loans in all periods reported. The Company believes the presentation of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis provides comparability of net interest income from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and facilitates comparability within the industry. Although the Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of its business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. The reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented below.

*Includes U.S. Government agency securities that are non-taxable for state income tax purposes of $5.1 million in 2026 and $6.1 million in 2025. Tax rates of 2.00% and 2.25% were used to calculate the tax equivalent yields on these securities in 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Net interest income was $31.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $28.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in net interest income is due to a $1.7 million increase in interest income and a $818,000 decrease in interest expense. Net interest income after the provision for credit losses was $30.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $28.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $853,000, compared to $55,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in the provision for credit losses reflects continued growth in total loans, which increased $75.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to an increase of $19.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Additionally, the increase in the provision for credit losses includes a $66,000 increase in net charge-offs during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Interest income was $42.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $40.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in interest income is primarily due to a $3.0 million increase in interest income and fees on loans, which was partially offset by a $620,000 decrease in interest income on balances due from banks and a $673,000 decrease in interest income on investment securities. The increase in interest income and fees on loans is primarily due to an increase in total loans. The decrease in interest income on balances due from banks is due to a decrease in average balances outstanding and rate decreases implemented by the FOMC. The decrease in interest income on investment securities is due to a reduction in balances outstanding and decreases in yields on variable rate securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, average loans were $1.24 billion, an increase of $88.3 million from average loans of $1.15 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, average investment securities were $412.3 million, a decrease of $15.3 million from average investment securities of $427.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The average yield on loans for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was 5.81% and 5.73%, respectively. The average yield on investment securities available for sale was 3.05% and 3.23% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The average yield on earning assets was 5.11% and 5.05% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Interest expense was $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to a decrease in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities resulting from rate decreases implemented by the FOMC. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, average interest-bearing non-maturity deposits were $797.1 million, an increase of $48.4 million from average interest-bearing non-maturity deposits of $748.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, average certificates of deposit were $327.9 million, a decrease of $19.4 million from average certificates of deposit of $347.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The average rate paid on interest-bearing checking and savings accounts was 1.50% and 1.45% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The average rate paid on certificates of deposit was 3.05% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 3.65% for the same period one year ago. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 2.00% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 2.20% for the same period one year ago.
The following table sets forth for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the average amounts outstanding, the interest incurred on such amounts and the average rate earned or incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The table also sets forth the average rate earned on total interest-earning assets, the average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities, and the net yield on total average interest-earning assets for the same periods. Yield information does not give effect to changes in fair value of available for sale investment securities that are reflected as a component of shareholders’ equity. Yields and interest income on tax-exempt investments for the six months ended June 30, 2026 have been adjusted to present this information on a tax equivalent basis using an effective tax rate of 22.58% for securities that are both federal and state tax exempt and an effective tax rate of 20.58% for federal tax-exempt securities. Yields and interest income on tax-exempt investments for the six months ended June 30, 2025 have been adjusted to present this information on a tax equivalent basis using an effective tax rate of 22.78% for securities that are both federal and state tax exempt and an effective tax rate of 20.53% for federal tax-exempt securities. Non-accrual loans and the interest income that was recorded on non-accrual loans, if any, are included in the yield calculations for loans in all periods reported. The Company believes the presentation of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis provides comparability of net interest income from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and facilitates comparability within the industry. Although the Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of its business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. The reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented below.

Provision for Credit Losses. The provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $293,000, compared to a recovery of $213,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in the provision for credit losses reflects continued growth in total loans, which increased $36.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to an increase of $5.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025. Additionally, the increase in the provision for credit losses includes a $29,000 increase in net charge-offs during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025.
The provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $853,000, compared to $55,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in the provision for credit losses reflects continued growth in total loans, which increased $75.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to an increase of $19.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Additionally, the increase in the provision for credit losses includes a $66,000 increase in net charge-offs during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income was $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in non-interest income is primarily attributable to a $929,000 decrease in appraisal management fee income due to a decrease in appraisal volume, which was partially offset by a $108,000 increase in mortgage banking income due to an increase in secondary mortgage market activity and a $254,000 increase in miscellaneous non-interest income primarily due to an increase in deferred compensation income associated with an increase in valuations for the assets in the deferred compensation plan and an increase in income on Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) investments.
Non-interest income was $13.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $14.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in non-interest income is primarily attributable to a $1.4 million decrease in appraisal management fee income due to a decrease in appraisal volume, which was partially offset by a $216,000 increase in mortgage banking income due to an increase in secondary mortgage market activity and a $492,000 increase in miscellaneous non-interest income primarily due to an increase in deferred compensation income associated with an increase in valuations for the assets in the deferred compensation plan and an increase in income on SBIC investments.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense was $16.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $15.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in non-interest expense is primarily attributable to a $482,000 increase in occupancy expense primarily due to an increase in furniture and equipment maintenance/service contract expenses, a $241,000 increase in debit card expense and a $288,000 increase in miscellaneous non-interest expense primarily due to an increase in deferred compensation expense associated with an increase in valuations for the assets in the deferred compensation plan. The increases in non-interest expense were partially offset by a $718,000 decrease in appraisal management fee expense due to a decrease in appraisal volume.

Non-interest expense was $31.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $30.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in non-interest expense is primarily attributable to a $417,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits expense primarily due to increases in salary and restricted stock expenses, a $761,000 increase in occupancy expense primarily due to an increase in furniture and equipment maintenance/service contract expenses, a $179,000 increase in professional fees primarily due to an increase in consulting expense, a $431,000 increase in debit card expense and a $293,000 increase in miscellaneous non-interest expense primarily due to an increase in deferred compensation expense associated with an increase in valuations for the assets in the deferred compensation plan. The increases in non-interest expense were partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in appraisal management fee expense due to a decrease in appraisal volume.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The effective tax rate was 22.23% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 22.56% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Income tax expense was $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The effective tax rate was 22.18% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 22.69% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the North Carolina corporate income tax rate decreasing from 2.25% to 2.00% effective January 1, 2026 and the revaluation of the deferred tax asset due to further upcoming reductions in the North Carolina corporate income tax rate.
Analysis of Financial Condition
Investment Securities. Available for sale securities were $364.5 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $377.4 million as of December 31, 2025. Average investment securities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $412.3 million, compared to $421.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Loans. Total loans were $1.28 billion as of June 30, 2026, compared to $1.20 billion at December 31, 2025. Average loans represented 74% and 70% of average earning assets for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively.
The Bank had $1.7 million and $1.1 million in mortgage loans held for sale as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of the loan portfolio is collateralized by real estate, which is dependent upon the real estate market. Real estate mortgage loans include both commercial and residential mortgage loans. At June 30, 2026, the Bank had $144.6 million in residential mortgage loans, $130.7 million in home equity loans and $773.2 million in commercial mortgage loans, which include $624.8 million secured by commercial property and $148.4 million secured by residential property. All residential mortgage loans are originated as fully amortizing loans, with no negative amortization. The Bank also had construction and land development loans totaling $133.6 million at June 30, 2026.
Allowance for Credit Losses (ACL). The allowance for credit losses reflects management’s assessment and estimate of the risks associated with extending credit and its evaluation of the quality of the loan portfolio. The Bank periodically analyzes the loan portfolio in an effort to review asset quality and to establish an allowance that management believes will be adequate in light of anticipated risks and loan losses. In assessing the adequacy of the allowance, size, quality and risk of loans in the portfolio are reviewed.
The allowance for credit losses on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. The allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of lifetime credit losses inherent in loans as of June 30, 2026. The allowance for credit losses is estimated by management using relevant available information, from both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company measures expected credit losses for loans on a pooled basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company calculates the allowance for credit losses using a Weighted Average Remaining Maturity (“WARM”) methodology.
Additionally, the allowance for credit losses calculation includes subjective adjustments for qualitative risk factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses to differ from historical experience. These qualitative adjustments may increase or decrease reserve levels and include adjustments for: local, state and national economic outlook; levels and trends of delinquencies; trends in volume, mix and size of loans; seasoning of the loan portfolio; experience of staff; concentrations of credit; and interest rate risk.
| 36 |
| Table of Contents |
The portion of the ACL balance attributable to qualitative factors was $5.6 million and $5.3 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The risk factors are weighted as follows: Local, State and National Economic Outlook – 30%, Concentrations of Credit – 5%, Interest Rate Risk – 5%, Trends in Terms of Volume, Mix and Size of Loans – 15%, Seasoning of the Loan Portfolio – 10%, Experience of Staff – 10%, and Levels and Trends of Delinquencies – 25%. No changes to the risk status of any of the risk factors was made during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. When management determines that foreclosure is probable and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, the expected credit losses are based on the fair value of collateral at the reporting date adjusted for selling costs as appropriate.
Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit issued to meet customer financing needs. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for off-balance sheet loan commitments represents the contractual amount of those instruments. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
The Company records an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, unless the commitments to extend credit are unconditionally cancelable. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is estimated by loan segment at each balance sheet date under the current expected credit loss model using the same methodologies as portfolio loans, taking into consideration the likelihood that funding will occur as well as any third-party guarantees. The allowance for unfunded commitments is included in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
The allowance for credit losses on loans was $10.6 million or 0.83% of total loans at June 30, 2026, compared to $10.1 million or 0.84% of total loans at December 31, 2025. The allowance for credit losses on loans increased $504,000 primarily due to a $75.2 million increase in total loans from December 31, 2025 to June 30, 2026.
The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments was $1.6 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $1.4 million at December 31, 2025. The increase in the allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments was due to a $11.7 million increase in unfunded loan commitments from December 31, 2025 to June 30, 2026.
Management uses several measures to assess and monitor the credit risks in the loan portfolio, including a loan grading system that begins upon loan origination and continues until the loan is collected or collectability becomes doubtful. Upon loan origination, the Bank’s originating loan officer evaluates the quality of the loan and assigns one of eight risk grades. The loan officer monitors the loan’s performance and credit quality and makes changes to the credit grade as conditions warrant. When originated or renewed, all loans over a certain dollar amount receive in-depth reviews and risk assessments by the Bank’s Credit Administration. Before making any changes in these risk grades, management considers assessments as determined by the third-party credit review firm (as described below), regulatory examiners and the Bank’s Credit Administration. Any issues regarding the risk assessments are addressed by the Bank’s senior credit administrators and factored into management’s decision to originate or renew the loan. The board of directors of the Bank (the “Bank Board”) reviews, on a monthly basis, an analysis of the Bank’s reserves relative to the range of reserves estimated by the Bank’s Credit Administration.
As an additional measure, the Bank engages an independent third party to review the underwriting, documentation and risk grading analyses. This independent third party reviews and evaluates loan relationships greater than or equal to $1.5 million as well as a periodic sample of commercial relationships with exposures below $1.5 million, excluding loans in default, and loans in process of litigation or liquidation. The third party’s evaluation and report is shared with management and the Bank Board.
The allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of the Bank’s financial assets, including loan receivables and some off-balance sheet credit exposures. Estimating the amount of the allowance for credit losses requires significant judgment and the use of estimates related to historical experience, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and the value of collateral on collateral-dependent loans. The loan portfolio also represents the largest asset type on our consolidated balance sheet. Credit losses are charged against the allowance, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the allowance. A provision for credit losses is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of the factors previously mentioned, as well as other pertinent factors.
There are many factors affecting the allowance for credit losses; some are quantitative while others require qualitative judgment. Although management believes its process for determining the allowance adequately considers all the potential factors that could potentially result in credit losses, the process includes subjective elements and is susceptible to significant change. To the extent actual outcomes differ from management estimates, additional provision for credit losses could be required that could adversely affect our earnings or financial position in future periods.

Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance. Such agencies may require adjustments to the allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examinations. Management believes it has established the allowance for credit losses pursuant to Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”), and has considered the views of its regulators and the current economic environment. Management considers the allowance adequate to cover the estimated losses inherent in the Bank’s loan portfolio as of the date of the financial statements. Although management uses the best information available to make evaluations, significant future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic and other conditions, thus adversely affecting the operating results of the Company.
Non-performing assets were $5.2 million or 0.29% of total assets at June 30, 2026, compared to $4.2 million or 0.25% of total assets at December 31, 2025. Non-performing assets comprise $4.0 million in residential mortgage loans, $1.1 million in commercial mortgage loans and $122,000 in other loans at June 30, 2026, compared to $3.6 million in residential mortgage loans and $533,000 in commercial mortgage loans at December 31, 2025. The Bank had no other real estate owned or repossessed assets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Deposits. Deposits were $1.57 billion as of June 30, 2026, compared to $1.51 billion as of December 31, 2025. Core deposits, a non-GAAP measure, which include noninterest-bearing demand deposits, NOW, MMDA, savings and non-brokered certificates of deposit of denominations of less than $250,000, were $1.44 billion at June 30, 2026, compared to $1.35 billion at December 31, 2025. Management believes it is useful to calculate and present core deposits because of the positive impact this low cost funding source provides to the Bank’s overall cost of funds and profitability. Certificates of deposit in amounts of $250,000 or more totaled $131.2 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $160.4 million at December 31, 2025.
Estimated uninsured deposits totaled $336.5 million, or 21.47% of total deposits, at June 30, 2026, compared to $358.5 million, or 23.75% of total deposits, at December 31, 2025. Uninsured amounts are estimated based on the portion of account balances in excess of FDIC insurance limits. The Bank did not have any significant deposit concentrations at June 30, 2026.
Borrowed Funds. There were no borrowed funds, other than junior subordinated debt debentures, outstanding at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Junior Subordinated Debentures (related to Trust Preferred Securities). Junior subordinated debentures were $15.5 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Asset Liability and Interest Rate Risk Management. The objective of the Company’s Asset Liability and Interest Rate Risk strategies is to identify and manage the sensitivity of net interest income to changing interest rates and to minimize the interest rate risk between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at various maturities. This is done in conjunction with the need to maintain adequate liquidity and the overall goal of maximizing net interest income.
The Company manages its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates through policies established by the Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) of the Bank. The ALCO meets quarterly and has the responsibility for approving asset/liability management policies, formulating and implementing strategies to improve balance sheet positioning and/or earnings and reviewing the interest rate sensitivity of the Company. ALCO seeks to minimize interest rate risk between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities by attempting to minimize wide fluctuations in net interest income due to interest rate movements. The ability to control these fluctuations has a direct impact on the profitability of the Company. Management monitors this activity on a regular basis through analysis of its portfolios to determine the difference between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities.
The Company’s rate sensitive assets are those earning interest at variable rates and those with contractual maturities within one year. Rate sensitive assets therefore include both loans and available for sale securities. Rate sensitive liabilities include interest-bearing checking accounts, money market deposit accounts, savings accounts, time deposits and borrowed funds. Average rate sensitive assets for the six months ended June 30, 2026 totaled $1.67 billion, exceeding average rate sensitive liabilities of $1.14 billion by $533.8 million.
Included in the rate sensitive assets are $186.1 million in variable rate loans indexed to prime rate subject to immediate repricing upon changes by the FOMC. Certain variable rate loans are structured to establish floors on interest rates charged to protect against downward movements in the prime rate. At June 30, 2026, the Company had $131.9 million in loans with interest rate floors. Floors were in effect on three loans, totaling $6,000, at June 30, 2026.
Liquidity. The objectives of the Company’s liquidity policy are to provide for the availability of adequate funds to meet the needs of loan demand, deposit withdrawals, maturing liabilities and to satisfy regulatory requirements. Both deposit and loan customer cash needs can fluctuate significantly depending upon business cycles, economic conditions and yields and returns available from alternative investment opportunities. In addition, the Company’s liquidity is affected by off-balance sheet commitments to lend in the form of unfunded commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. As of June 30, 2026, such unfunded commitments to extend credit were $378.3 million, while commitments in the form of standby letters of credit totaled $1.6 million. As of December 31, 2025, such unfunded commitments to extend credit were $366.5 million, while commitments in the form of standby letters of credit totaled $1.6 million.

The Bank uses several sources to meet its liquidity requirements. The primary source is core deposits, which includes demand deposits, savings accounts and non-brokered certificates of deposit of denominations less than $250,000. The Bank considers these to be a stable portion of the Bank’s liability mix and the result of on-going consumer and commercial banking relationships. As of June 30, 2026, the Bank’s core deposits, a non-GAAP measure, totaled $1.44 billion, or 91.63% of total deposits. As of December 31, 2025, the Bank’s core deposits totaled $1.35 billion, or 89.44% of total deposits.
The other sources of funding for the Company are through large denomination certificates of deposit, including brokered deposits, federal funds purchased, securities under agreement to repurchase and FHLB borrowings. The Bank is also able to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) on a short-term basis. The Bank’s policies include the ability to access wholesale funding up to 40% of total assets. The Bank’s wholesale funding includes FHLB borrowings, FRB borrowings, brokered deposits and internet certificates of deposit. The Bank did not have any wholesale funding at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
The Bank has a line of credit with the FHLB equal to 20% of the Bank’s total assets. There were no FHLB borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. At June 30, 2026, the carrying value of loans pledged as collateral to the FHLB totaled $255.4 million compared to $247.8 million at December 31, 2025. The remaining availability under the line of credit with the FHLB was $153.3 million at June 30, 2026 compared to $148.5 million at December 31, 2025. The Bank had no borrowings from the FRB at June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025. FRB borrowings are collateralized by a blanket assignment on all qualifying loans that the Bank owns which are not pledged to the FHLB. At June 30, 2026, the carrying value of loans pledged as collateral to the FRB totaled $725.9 million compared to $689.9 million at December 31, 2025. Availability under the line of credit with the FRB was $603.7 million at June 30, 2026 compared to $583.8 million at December 31, 2025.
The Bank also had the ability to borrow up to $110.5 million for the purchase of overnight federal funds from five correspondent financial institutions as of June 30, 2026.
The liquidity ratio for the Bank, which is defined as net cash, interest-bearing deposits, federal funds sold and certain investment securities, as a percentage of net deposits and short-term liabilities was 26.07% at June 30, 2026 and 26.86% at December 31, 2025. The minimum required liquidity ratio as defined in the Bank’s Asset/Liability and Interest Rate Risk Management Policy was 10% at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. The Company’s contractual obligations include junior subordinated debentures, as well as certain payments under current lease agreements. Other commitments include commitments to extend credit.
Capital Resources. Shareholders’ equity was $161.3 million, or 9.14% of total assets, at June 30, 2026, compared to $157.1 million, or 9.23% of total assets, at December 31, 2025.
Annualized return on average equity for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was 12.22%, compared to 14.06% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Total cash dividends paid on common stock were $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
In March 2025, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program, whereby up to $3.0 million was allocated to repurchase the Company’s common stock. The Company had not repurchased any shares of its common stock under this stock repurchase program through February 28, 2026, when the program expired.
In 2013, the FRB approved its final rule on the Basel III capital standards, which implemented changes to the regulatory capital framework for banking organizations. This resulted in the following minimum ratios beginning in 2019: (i) a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 7.0%, (ii) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5%, and (iii) a total capital ratio of 10.5%. Under the final rule, institutions are subject to limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses if their capital levels fall below the minimum ratios. These limitations establish a maximum percentage of eligible retained earnings that could be utilized for such actions.

Under the regulatory capital guidelines, financial institutions are currently required to maintain a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or greater, with a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or greater and a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5% or greater. Tier 1 capital is generally defined as shareholders’ equity and trust preferred securities less all intangible assets and goodwill. Tier 1 capital includes $15.0 million in trust preferred securities at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company’s Tier 1 capital ratio was 14.68% and 14.96% at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Total risk-based capital is defined as Tier 1 capital plus supplementary capital. Supplementary capital, or Tier 2 capital, consists of the Company’s allowance for credit losses, not exceeding 1.25% of the Company’s risk-weighted assets. Total risk-based capital ratio is therefore defined as the ratio of total capital (Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets. The Company’s total risk-based capital ratio was 15.55% and 15.82% at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company’s common equity Tier 1 capital consists of common stock and retained earnings. The Company’s common equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 13.61% and 13.83% at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Financial institutions are also required to maintain a leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital to total average assets of 4.0% or greater. The Company’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 11.70% and 11.33% at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The Bank’s Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 14.55% and 14.83% at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The total risk-based capital ratio for the Bank was 15.42% and 15.70% at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Bank’s common equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 14.55% and 14.83% at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 11.50% and 11.13% at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
A bank is considered to be “well capitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or greater, a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.5% or greater and a leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater. Based upon these guidelines, the Bank was considered to be “well capitalized” at June 30, 2026.
