Earnings

Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was $44.9 million, or $0.43 per share, compared to $41.3 million, or $0.39 per share in the prior quarter.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $152.3 million, or $1.47 per share, compared to $142.6 million, or $1.39 per share for the same period in 2024.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income (FTE) of $113.6 million increased $2.1 million from the previous quarter and increased $18.1 million from the prior year quarter. The increase from the previous quarter was primarily due to a six basis point increase in the net interest margin. The yield on earning assets increased three basis points due to an 11 basis point increase in the yield on indirect auto loans along with a $32.3 million increase in indirect auto balances, combined with a $51.5 million increase in average equipment finance loans. The total cost of funds decreased three basis points due to a 16 basis point decrease in the cost of non-personal NOW accounts and $73.4 million decrease in average short-term borrowings, partially offset by a $72.1 million increase in average time deposits.

Total average deposits increased $72.0 million, or 2.8% annualized in the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to the previous quarter. Total end-of-period deposits decreased $19.6 million, or 0.8% annualized, from the previous quarter.

Asset Quality

Provision for credit losses totaled $7.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to $11.3 million in the previous quarter. The decrease in provision expense, relative to the prior quarter, was primarily driven by a $4.4 million provision for a dealer floorplan relationship in the prior quarter, along with a $2.3 million decrease in provision expense for unfunded commitments.

Nonperforming loans totaled $91.8 million, an increase of $3.1 million from the previous quarter. Nonperforming loans represented 0.94% of total loans as compared to 0.91% and 0.68% for the periods ended September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

At December 31, 2025, criticized loans totaled $267.2 million, an increase of $19.0 million from the previous quarter.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, net charge-offs were $11.3 million as compared to net charge-offs of $12.2 million in the previous quarter and $13.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Net charge-offs (annualized) as a percentage of average loans were 0.46%, 0.51% and 0.61% for the periods ended December 31, 2025, September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense

Noninterest income (excluding $0.4 million gain on investment securities in 3Q and 4Q 2025) totaled $24.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to $24.5 million for the third quarter of 2025 and $25.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The $0.2 million decrease from the previous quarter was primarily due to a $0.7 million decrease in wealth advisory fees and a $0.2 million decrease in swap fees, partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in Gain on Sale of Small Business Administration (SBA) loans.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, noninterest income (excluding $0.8 million gain sale of investment securities in 2025 and $0.2 million gain on sale of investment securities in 2024) totaled $96.0 million, a decrease of $3.0 million from the prior year. The decrease from the prior year was primarily due to a $6.3 million decrease in card-related interchange income due to the Bank being subject to a full twelve months of the Durbin amendment, partially offset by a $1.8 million increase in wealth advisory fees, a $1.5 million increase in gain on sale of mortgage loans and a $0.7 million increase in swap fees.

Noninterest expense (excluding $0.2 million of merger related expenses in 3Q and 4Q 2025 and $0.3 million in 4Q 2024) totaled $74.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to $72.7 million in the third quarter of 2025 and $69.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The $1.7 million increase from the previous quarter was primarily the result of a $1.5 million increase in salaries and benefits and a $0.7 million increase in software expense, partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease for a Pennsylvania shares tax adjustment.

The core efficiency ratio was 52.84% during the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to 52.30% in the previous quarter and 56.07% in the fourth quarter of 2024.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, noninterest expense (excluding $4.4 million of merger related expenses in 2025 and $0.4 million in merger expense and $0.4 million loss on the early redemption of subordinated debt in 2024) totaled $290.4 million, as compared to $270.0 million in the prior year. The $20.5 million increase from the prior year was primarily driven by a $14.7 million increase in salaries and benefits and a $1.4 million increase in other professional fees, partially offset by a $1.7 million decrease in operational losses due to lower fraud expense.

The core efficiency ratio was 54.42% for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to 55.36% in the previous year.

Full time equivalent staff was 1,567 at December 31, 2025, 1,548 as September 30, 2025 and 1,512 at December 31, 2024

(a) Deposits on the above balance sheet for periods prior to June 30, 2025 reflect a reclassification to interest-bearing deposits from savings deposits in order to remove the impact of an internal sweep program related to regulatory reserve requirements. The internal sweep program was terminated in the second quarter of 2025, therefore prior periods are now shown without the reclassification.
