NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X and do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to the current period presentation. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties and could reflect materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Methodologies the Company uses when applying critical accounting policies and developing critical accounting estimates are included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

There have been no material changes from the critical accounting policies previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. In preparing its financial statements, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to the current period presentation.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2024

Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions ("ASU 2022-03"). ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. ASU 2022-03 also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction and requires certain new disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods after December, 15, 2023, though early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2022-03 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements: (“ASU 2023-01”) clarifies the accounting for leasehold improvements associated with common control leases to public business entities. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2023-01 did not have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2023-02, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method (“ASU 2023-02”) permits reporting entities to elect to account for their tax equity investments, regardless of the tax credit program from which the income tax credits are received, using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2023-02 did not have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Issued but Not Yet Adopted Accounting Standards

ASU 2023-06, "Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative" ("ASU 2023-06") related to disclosure or presentation requirements for various subtopics in the

FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”). The amendments in the update are intended to align the requirements in the Codification with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (“SEC”) regulations and facilitate the application of GAAP for all entities. The effective date for each amendment is the date on which the SEC's removal of the related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, or if the SEC has not removed the requirements by June 30, 2027, this amendment will be removed from the Codification and will not become effective for any entity.

Management evaluates securities for impairment from credit losses at least quarterly, and more frequently when economic and market conditions warrant such evaluations. Consideration is given to numerous factors including, but not limited to, the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis; adverse conditions causing changes in the financial condition of the issuer of the security or underlying loan guarantors; changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency; and the Company’s intent to sell a security or whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost, which may extend to maturity.

The Company performs a process to determine whether the decline in the fair value of securities has resulted from credit losses or other factors. This process involves evaluating each security for impairment by monitoring credit performance, collateral type, collateral geography, bond credit support, loan-to-value ratios, credit scores, loss severity levels, pricing levels, downgrades by rating agencies, cash flow projections and other factors as indicators of potential credit issues. If this evaluation indicates the existence of credit losses, the Company compares the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis. If the present value of expected cash flows is less than the amortized cost basis, an ACL is recorded, limited by the amount that the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost.

The Company's investment securities with unrealized losses, aggregated by type and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous loss position, are summarized in the following tables.

At June 30, 2024, 273 of the Company’s debt securities had unrealized losses totaling 10.2% of the individual securities’ amortized cost basis and 10.1% of the Company’s total amortized cost basis of the investment securities portfolio. At such date, 265 of the 273 securities had been in a continuous loss position for over 12 months. Management has determined that the declines in the fair value of these securities were not attributable to credit losses. As a result, no ACL was recorded for available for sale investment securities at June 30, 2024.

At June 30, 2024, it was determined that no ACL was required for the Company's held-to-maturity investment securities. The Company monitors credit quality of debt securities held-to-maturity through the use of credit ratings. The following tables present the amortized cost of the Company's held-to-maturity securities by credit quality rating at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

The above classifications follow regulatory guidelines and can generally be described as follows:

•Pass loans are of satisfactory quality.

•Special mention loans have an existing weakness that could cause future impairment, including the deterioration of financial ratios, past due status, questionable management capabilities and possible reduction in the collateral values.

•Substandard loans have an existing specific and well-defined weakness that may include poor liquidity and deterioration of financial performance. Such loans may be past due and related deposit accounts experiencing overdrafts. Immediate corrective action is necessary.

•Doubtful loans have specific weaknesses that are severe enough to make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable.

In addition, residential loans are classified using an inter-agency regulatory methodology that incorporates, among other factors, the extent of delinquencies and loan-to-value ratios. These classifications were the most current available as of the dates indicated and were generally updated within the quarter.

Age analysis of past due loans as of the dates indicated are as follows.

(1)Nonaccrual acquired loans include PCD loans of $1,326,000 and $1,410,000 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual status is reversed against interest income. All payments received while on nonaccrual status are applied against the principal balance of nonaccrual loans. The Company does not recognize interest income while loans are on nonaccrual status.

Collateral Dependent Loans

The Company held loans that were individually evaluated for credit losses at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for which the repayment, on the basis of our assessment at the reporting date, is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The ACL for these collateral-dependent loans is primarily based on the fair value of the underlying collateral at the reporting date. The following describes the types of collateral that secure collateral dependent loans:

•One- to four-family first mortgages are primarily secured by first liens on residential real estate.

•Home equity loans and lines are primarily secured by first and junior liens on residential real estate.

•Commercial real estate loans are primarily secured by office and industrial buildings, warehouses, retail shopping facilities and various special purpose properties, including hotels and restaurants.

•Construction and land loans are primarily secured by residential and commercial properties, which are under construction and/or redevelopment, and by raw land.

•Commercial and industrial loans considered collateral dependent are primarily secured by accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.

The tables below summarize collateral dependent loans and the related ACL at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Loan Modifications Made to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

Occasionally, the Company modifies loans to borrowers in financial distress by providing certain concessions, such as principal forgiveness, term extension, an other-than-insignificant payment delay, interest only for a specified period of time, an interest rate reduction, or a combination of such concessions. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged-off against the allowance for credit losses. Upon the Company's determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or portion of the loan) is charged-off. The balance of loan modifications, segregated by type of modification, to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are set forth in the table below for the periods indicated.

These amounts are recorded in accrued interest receivable and other assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

The carrying amount of foreclosed residential real estate properties held at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 totaled $208,000 and $115,000, respectively. Loans secured by single family residential real estate that were in the process of foreclosure at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 totaled $2,863,000 and $517,000, respectively.

6. Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates.

The Company’s existing credit derivatives result from loan participation arrangements, therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk in the Company’s assets or liabilities. The Company occasionally enters into credit risk participation agreements with counterparty banks to accept a portion of the credit risk related to interest rate swaps. The agreements, which are typically executed in conjunction with a participation in a loan with the same customer, allow customers to execute an interest rate swap with one bank while allowing for the distribution of the credit risk among participating members. Collateral used to support the credit risk for the underlying lending relationship is also available to offset the risk of credit risk participations and customer derivative positions.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. As part of its efforts to accomplish this objective, the Company entered into certain interest rate swap agreements as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable rate liabilities.

For derivatives designated and that qualify 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 expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable rate liabilities. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $2,067,000 will be reclassified as additional interest expense.

Non-designated Hedges

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain customers. The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting derivatives 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 derivatives associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and the offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in earnings through other income.

Derivative fee income from non-designated hedges totaled $175,000 for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. There was no derivative fee income from non-designated hedges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision to the effect that, if the Company (either) defaults (or is capable of being declared in default) on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

The Company has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision to the effect that, if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well or adequately capitalized institution, then the Company could be required to post additional collateral.

As of June 30, 2024, there were no derivatives with credit-risk-related contingent features in a net liability position. Such derivatives are measured at fair value, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk. If the Company had breached any provisions at June 30, 2024, it would not have been required to settle any obligations under the agreements since the termination value was $0.

7. Long-term Debt and Borrowings

Subordinated Debt

On June 30, 2022, the Company issued $55,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 5.75% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes (the "Notes") due 2032. The Notes were issued at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount. The Notes have a stated maturity date of June 30, 2032 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.75% per year from and including the issue date to but excluding June 30, 2027. From June 30, 2027, the Notes will bear interest at a floating rate equal to the then current three-month term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), plus 282 basis points. The Notes may be redeemed by the Company, in whole or in part, on or after June 30, 2027. The Notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes.

The carrying value of subordinated debt was $54,348,000 and $54,241,000 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The subordinated debt was recorded net of issuance costs which is being amortized using the straight-line method over five years.

Other Borrowings

On March 12, 2023, the Federal Reserve Board created the BTFP, which offers loans to banks with a term up to one year with no prepayment penalty. The loans are secured by pledging qualifying securities and are valued at par for collateral. In 2024, the Bank participated in the BTFP and had an outstanding debt of $135,000,000 at June 30, 2024. The average balance of other borrowings, which included the BTFP loan was $140,610,000 for the second quarter of 2024, up $134,959,000 compared to the second quarter of 2023.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

The average balance of total FHLB advances was $46,499,000 for the second quarter of 2024, down $226,284,000 compared to the second quarter of 2023.

The Company had short-term FHLB advances in the amount of $45,000,000 as of June 30, 2024 compared to $150,000,000 as of December 31, 2023. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $38,506,000 and $42,713,000 in long-term FHLB advances, respectively, and $1,085,415,000 and $1,020,494,000 in additional FHLB advances available, respectively.

The following table summarizes long-term FHLB advances as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

8. Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The Company groups assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value in three levels as required by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Under this guidance, fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to develop those assumptions and measure fair value. The hierarchy requires companies to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels used to measure fair value are as follows:

•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

An asset’s or liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management reviews and updates the fair value hierarchy classifications of the Company’s assets and liabilities quarterly.

Recurring Basis

Investment Securities Available for Sale

Fair values of investment securities available for sale are primarily measured using information from a third-party pricing service. This pricing service provides pricing information by utilizing pricing models supported with market data information. Standard inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities bids, offers and other reference data from market research publications. If quoted prices are available in an active market, investment securities are classified as Level 1 measurements. If quoted prices are not available in an active market, fair values are estimated primarily by the use of pricing models. Level 2 investment securities are primarily comprised of mortgage-backed securities issued by government agencies and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. In certain cases, where there is limited or less transparent information provided by the Company’s third-party pricing service, fair value is estimated by the use of secondary pricing services or through the use of non-binding third-party broker quotes. Investment securities are classified within Level 3 when little or no market activity supports the fair value.

Management primarily identifies investment securities which may have traded in illiquid or inactive markets, by identifying instances of a significant decrease in the volume and frequency of trades, relative to historical levels, as well as instances of a

significant widening of the bid-ask spread in the brokered markets. Investment securities that are deemed to have been trading in illiquid or inactive markets may require the use of significant unobservable inputs. For example, management may use quoted prices for similar investment securities in the absence of a liquid and active market for the investment securities being valued. As of June 30, 2024, management did not make adjustments to prices provided by the third-party pricing service as a result of illiquid or inactive markets.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities

Derivative assets and liabilities are reported at fair value in accrued interest receivable and other assets and accrued interest payable and other liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The fair value of these derivative financial instruments is obtained from a third-party pricing service that uses widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. The analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The Company has determined that its derivative valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following tables present the balances of assets measured for fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Nonrecurring Basis

The Company records loans individually evaluated for credit losses at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Fair value is measured at the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. For non-collateral-dependent loans, fair value is measured by present valuing expected future cash flows. Loans individually evaluated are classified as Level 3 assets when measured using appraisals from third parties of the collateral less any prior liens and when there is no observable market price.

Foreclosed assets and ORE are also recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Foreclosed assets are initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell. ORE is recorded at the lower of its net book value or fair value at the date of transfer to ORE. The fair value of foreclosed assets and ORE is based on property appraisals and an analysis of similar properties available. As such, the Company classifies foreclosed and ORE assets as Level 3 assets.

The Company has segregated all financial assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date as reflected in the table below.

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires the disclosure of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate. The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. 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. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. ASC 820 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial statements. These estimates are subjective in nature, 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 included herein are based on existing on- and off-balance-sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the fair value of assets and liabilities that are not required to be recorded or disclosed at fair value like premises and equipment. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

Methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value are described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The fair value of subordinated debt is estimated based on current market rates on similar debt in the market. The Company classifies this debt in Level 2 of the fair value table. There have been no other material changes from the fair value estimate methods and assumptions previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The following table presents estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of the dates indicated.

•During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company provisioned $1.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, to the allowance for loan losses, primarily due to loan growth and net charge-offs. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company provisioned $511,000 and $1.3 million, respectively, to the allowance for loan losses.

•The ALL totaled $32.2 million, or 1.21% of total loans, at June 30, 2024 compared to $31.5 million, or 1.22% of total loans, at December 31, 2023. The ACL, which is comprised of the allowance for loan losses plus the allowance for unfunded lending commitments, totaled $34.7 million, or 1.30% of total loans, at June 30, 2024 compared to $34.1 million, or 1.32% of total loans, at December 31, 2023.

•Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2024 was up $307,000, or 8.9%, compared to the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to an increase in other income (up $150,000), gain on sale of loans (up $100,000) and bank card fees (up $36,000). For the six months ended June 30, 2024, noninterest income was up $545,000, or 8.1%, from the comparable period in 2023 primarily due to an increase in other income (up $281,000), the absence of net loss on sale of securities totaling $249,000 during the first quarter of 2023, and an increase in gain on sale of loans (up $130,000), which were partially offset with a decrease in bank card fees (down $176,000).

•Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2024 was up $849,000, or 4.1%, compared to the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to increases in data processing and communication (up $423,000), compensation and benefits (up $187,000), other noninterest expense (up $187,000), occupancy (up $156,000), professional services (up $122,000) and regulatory fees (up $108,000), which were partially offset by the reversal of provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments (down $285,000). For the six months ended June 30, 2024, noninterest expense was up $1.8 million, or 4.3%, from the comparable period in 2023 primarily due to the absence of a recovery of a previous loss on a foreclosed asset that occurred in the first quarter of 2023 in the amount of $739,000, increases in data processing and communication expense (up $616,000), other noninterest expense (up $421,000), professional services (up $233,000) and marketing and advertising expense (up $202,000), which were partially offset by a decrease in amortization of acquisition intangibles (down $153,000) and the reversal of provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments (down $495,000).

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Loans, Allowance for Credit Losses and Asset Quality

Loans

Total loans at June 30, 2024 were $2.7 billion, up $79.7 million, or 3.1%, from December 31, 2023. The loan growth resulted primarily from the additions of loans across all loan types, with the exception of construction and land loans and consumer loans.

The following table summarizes the composition of the Company’s loan portfolio as of the dates indicated.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The ACL which equals the sum of the ALL and the ACL on unfunded lending commitments, is established through provisions for credit losses. Management recalculates the ACL at least quarterly to reassess the estimate of credit losses for the total portfolio at the relevant reporting date. Under ASC Topic 326, the ACL is measured on a pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist. For each pool of loans, management also evaluates and applies qualitative adjustments to the calculated ACL based on several factors, including, but not limited to, changes in current and expected future economic conditions, changes in industry experience and industry loan concentrations, changes in the volume and severity of nonperforming assets, changes in lending policies and personnel and changes in the competitive and regulatory environment of the banking industry. Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are individually evaluated and are excluded from the pooled loan analysis.

The ACL policy described above is supplemented by periodic reviews and validations performed by independent loan reviewers. The results of the reviews are reported to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The establishment of the ACL is significantly affected by management judgment. There is likelihood that different amounts would be reported under different conditions or assumptions. Federal regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our ACL. Such agencies may require management to make additional provisions for estimated losses based upon judgments different from those of management.

We continue to monitor and modify our ACL as conditions warrant. No assurance can be given that our level of ACL will cover all of the losses on our loans or that future adjustments to the ACL will not be necessary if economic and other conditions differ substantially from the conditions used by management to determine the current level of the ACL.

At June 30, 2024, the ALL totaled $32.2 million, or 1.21% of total loans, up $675,000 from $31.5 million, or 1.22% of total loans, at December 31, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company provisioned $1.4 million of the allowance loan losses primarily due to loan growth and net charge-offs. Net loan charge-offs totaled $727,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Asset Quality

One of management’s key objectives has been, and continues to be, maintaining a high level of asset quality. In addition to maintaining credit standards for new loan originations, we proactively monitor loans and collection and workout processes of delinquent or problem loans. When a borrower fails to make a scheduled payment, we attempt to cure the deficiency by making personal contact with the borrower. Initial contacts are generally made within 10 days after the date payment is due. In most cases, deficiencies are promptly resolved. If the delinquency continues, late charges are assessed and additional efforts are made to collect the deficiency. All loans which are designated as “special mention,” classified or which are delinquent 90 days or more are reported to the Board of Directors of the Bank monthly. For loans where the collection of principal or interest payments is doubtful, the accrual of interest income ceases. It is our policy, with certain limited exceptions, to discontinue accruing interest and reverse any interest accrued on any loan which is 90 days or more past due. On occasion, this action may be taken earlier if the financial condition of the borrower raises significant concern with regard to their ability to service the debt in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. Interest income is not accrued on these loans until the borrower’s financial condition and payment record demonstrate an ability to service the debt.

Under our allowance policy, credit losses are measured on a pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are individually evaluated for credit losses and are excluded from the pooled loan analysis. At least quarterly, management evaluates the loan portfolio to determine which loans should be individually evaluated for credit losses. Management's evaluation involves an analysis of larger (i.e., loans with balances of $500,000 or greater) commercial real estate loans, multi-family residential loans, construction and land loans and commercial and industrial loans. Third party property valuations are obtained at the time of origination for real estate secured loans. When a determination is made that a loan has deteriorated to the point of becoming a problem loan, updated valuations may be ordered to determine if a short-fall exists, which may lead to a recommendation for partial charge off or appropriate allowance allocation. Property valuations are ordered through, and are reviewed by, an appraisal officer at the Bank. The Company typically orders an “as is” valuation for collateral property if a loan is in a criticized loan classification. Loans individually evaluated for credit losses are reported to the Board of Directors monthly.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, loans identified as credit deteriorated loans and individually evaluated for expected losses were $4.5 million and $4.2 million, respectively. The following tables provide a summary of loans individually evaluated for credit losses as of the dates indicated.

Federal regulations and our policies require that we utilize an internal asset classification system as a means of reporting problem and potential problem assets. We have incorporated an internal asset classification system, substantially consistent with Federal banking regulations, as a part of our credit monitoring system. Federal banking regulations set forth a classification scheme for problem and potential problem assets as “substandard,” “doubtful” or “loss” assets. An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the insured institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, “highly questionable and improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, loans classified as substandard totaled $32.7 million and $28.2 million, respectively. There were no assets classified as doubtful at either date. For additional information, refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The $4.5 million, or 15.9%, increase in substandard loans at June 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 was primarily due to one credit relationship being downgraded, partially offset by loan payoffs and improvements in other classified loans.

The following tables provide a summary of loans classified as special mention and substandard as of the dates indicated.

Total nonperforming loans increased by $8.0 million, or 90.8%, to $16.8 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $8.8 million at December 31, 2023. The primary reason for the increase was one loan relationship with an aggregate outstanding balance of $4.7 million at June 30, 2024 that became nonperforming during the first quarter of 2024. This relationship is secured by 17 residential units in eight investment properties in New Orleans with an aggregate loan-to-value ratio of approximately 65%. We have commenced foreclosure proceedings on this relationship and do not expect any loss. There were also additional smaller loan balances downgraded to nonperforming during the period, but we do not anticipate any losses associated with these loans.

A bank’s determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by Federal bank regulators which can order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances. The Federal banking agencies have adopted an interagency policy statement on the allowance for loan and lease losses. The policy statement provides guidance for financial institutions on both the responsibilities of management for the assessment and establishment of allowances and guidance for banking agency examiners to use in determining the adequacy of general valuation guidelines. Generally, the policy statement recommends that institutions have effective systems and controls to identify, monitor and address asset quality problems; that management analyze all significant factors that affect the collectability of the portfolio in a reasonable manner; and that management establish acceptable allowance evaluation processes that meet the objectives set forth in the policy statement. Management maintains, based on current and forecasted information, an ACL that reflects a current estimate of expected credit losses for the estimated life of the loan portfolio at reporting periods subsequent to the adoption date. For all reporting periods, actual losses are uncertain and dependent upon future events and, as such, further additions to the level of ACL may become necessary.

The following table sets forth the composition of the Company’s nonperforming assets as of the dates indicated.

(1)Nonaccrual acquired loans include PCD loans of $1.3 million and $1.4 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Foreclosed assets and ORE includes real property and other assets that have been acquired as a result of foreclosure, and real property no longer used in the Bank's business. Foreclosed assets and ORE are classified as such until sold or disposed. Foreclosed assets are recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs based on third party property valuations which are obtained at the time the asset is repossessed and periodically until the property is liquidated. ORE is recorded at the lower of its net book value or fair value at the date of transfer to ORE. Foreclosed assets and ORE holding costs are charged to expense. Gains and losses on the sale of foreclosed assets and ORE are charged to operations, as incurred. Costs associated with acquiring and improving a foreclosed property or ORE are capitalized to the extent that the carrying value does not exceed fair value less estimated selling costs.

Investment Securities

The Company’s investment securities portfolio totaled $413.5 million as of June 30, 2024, a decrease of $21.5 million, or 4.9%, from December 31, 2023. During the second quarters of 2024 and 2023, the Company had no gains or losses related to the sale of available-for-sale investment securities. At June 30, 2024, the Company had a net unrealized loss on its available for sale investment securities portfolio of $46.6 million, compared to a net unrealized loss of $43.4 million at December 31, 2023. The Company’s investment securities portfolio had an effective duration of 4.0 years and 4.2 years at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The total amounts of our uninsured deposits (deposits in excess of $250,000, as calculated in accordance with FDIC regulations) were $780.1 million at June 30, 2024 and $748.6 million at December 31, 2023. Public funds in excess of the FDIC insurance limits are fully collateralized.

Subordinated Debt

On June 30, 2022, the Company issued $55.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.75% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2032. The Notes were issued at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount. The Notes have a stated maturity date of June 30, 2032 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.75% per year from and including the issue date to but excluding June 30, 2027. From June 30, 2027, the Notes will bear interest at a floating rate equal to the then current three-month term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), plus 282 basis points. The Notes may be redeemed by the Company, in whole or in part, on or after June 30, 2027. The Notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes.

The carrying value of subordinated debt was $54.3 million and $54.2 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The subordinated debt was recorded net of issuance costs and amortized using the straight-line method over five years.

Other Borrowings

On March 12, 2023, the Federal Reserve Board created the BTFP, which offers loans to banks with a term up to one year with no prepayment penalty. The loans are secured by pledging qualifying securities and are valued at par for collateral. In 2024, the Bank participated in the BTFP and had an outstanding debt of $135.0 million at June 30, 2024. The average balance of other borrowings, which included the BTFP loan was $140.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, up $135.0 million compared to the second quarter of 2023.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

The average balance of total FHLB advances was $46.5 million for the second quarter of 2024, down $226.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the average balance of total FHLB advances was $59.1 million, down $185.2 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The Company had $45.0 million short-term FHLB advances as of June 30, 2024 compared to $150.0 million as of December 31, 2023. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $38.5 million and $42.7 million in long-term FHLB advances, respectively, and $1.1 billion and $1.0 billion in additional FHLB advances available, respectively.

Shareholders’ Equity

Total shareholders’ equity increased $8.4 million, or 2.3%, from $367.4 million at December 31, 2023 to $375.8 million at June 30, 2024. Shareholders' equity increased primarily due to net income of $17.3 million, which was partially offset by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss on available for sale investment securities, cash dividends and share repurchases during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

At June 30, 2024, the Company and the Bank had regulatory capital amounts that were well in excess of regulatory requirements. The following table presents actual and required capital ratios for the Company and the Bank under the Basel III Capital Rules. The minimum required capital amounts presented include the minimum required capital levels as of June 30, 2024 based on the required capital levels as of January 1, 2019 when the Basel III Capital Rules were fully phased-in. Capital levels required to be considered well capitalized are based upon prompt corrective action regulations, as amended to reflect the changes under the Basel III Capital Rules.

LIQUIDITY AND ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

Liquidity Management

Liquidity management encompasses our ability to ensure that funds are available to meet the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, while also ensuring adequate cash flow exists to meet the Company’s needs, including operating, strategic and capital. The Company develops its liquidity management strategies as part of its overall asset/liability management process. Our primary sources of funds are from deposits, amortization of loans, loan prepayments and the maturity of loans, investment securities and other investments, and other funds provided from operations. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and investment securities and maturing investment securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments can be greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company also maintains excess funds in short-term, interest-bearing assets that provide additional liquidity.

The Company uses its liquidity to fund existing and future loan commitments, to fund maturing certificates of deposit and demand deposit withdrawals, to invest in other interest-earning assets and to meet operating expenses. At June 30, 2024, certificates of deposit maturing within the next 12 months totaled $686.2 million. Based upon historical experience, the Company anticipates that a significant portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be redeposited with us.

In addition to cash flow from loan and securities payments and prepayments as well as from sales of securities available for sale, the Company has significant borrowing capacity available to fund liquidity needs. In recent years, the Company has utilized borrowings as a cost efficient addition to deposits as a source of funds. Borrowings consist of advances from the FHLB of Dallas, of which the Company is a member. Under terms of the collateral agreement with the FHLB, the Company pledges residential mortgage loans and investment securities as well as the Company’s stock in the FHLB as collateral for such advances. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the average balance of outstanding FHLB advances was $59.1 million. At June 30, 2024, the Company had $83.5 million in total outstanding FHLB advances.

Asset/Liability Management

The objective of asset/liability management is to implement strategies for the funding and deployment of the Company’s financial resources that are expected to maximize soundness and profitability over time at acceptable levels of risk. Interest rate sensitivity is the potential impact of changing rate environments on both net interest income and cash flows. The Company measures its interest rate sensitivity over the near term primarily by running net interest income simulations. Our interest rate sensitivity also is monitored by management through the use of a model which generates estimates of the change in its net interest income over a range of interest rate scenarios. Based on the Company’s interest rate risk model, the table below sets forth the results of immediate and sustained changes in interest rates as of June 30, 2024.


Shift in Interest Rates (in bps)						% Change in Projected Net Interest Income


+200						1.7%
+100						1.0%
-100						(1.6)%
-200						(3.2)%

The actual impact of changes in interest rates will depend on many factors. These factors include the Company’s ability to achieve expected growth in earning assets and maintain a desired mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the actual timing of asset and liability repricing, the magnitude of interest rate changes and corresponding movement in interest rate spreads and the level of success of asset/liability management strategies.

During the second quarters of 2020, 2023 and 2024, the Company entered into certain interest rate swap agreements as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. During 2024 and 2023, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cost associated with existing variable rate liabilities. Refer to Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the effects of the derivative financial instruments on the consolidated financial statements.

To meet the financing needs of its customers, the Company issues financial instruments which represent conditional obligations that are not recognized, wholly or in part, in the statements of financial condition. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such instruments expose the Company to varying degrees of credit and interest rate risk in much the same way as funded loans. The same credit policies are used in these commitments as for on-balance sheet instruments. At both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company's allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments totaled $2.5 million.

The following table summarizes our outstanding commitments to originate loans and to advance additional amounts pursuant to outstanding letters of credit, lines of credit and undisbursed construction loans as of the periods indicated.


	Contract Amount
(dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Standby letters of credit	$	7,132	$	7,289
Available portion of lines of credit	372,204		368,398
Undisbursed portion of loans in process	192,107		221,997
Commitments to originate loans	193,826		127,076

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to be drawn upon, the total commitment amounts generally represent future cash requirements.

Unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines of credit usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed.

The Company is subject to certain claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the second quarter of 2024 was $8.1 million, down $1.7 million compared to the second quarter of 2023. Diluted EPS for the second quarter of 2024 was $1.02, down $0.19 compared to the second quarter of 2023.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $17.3 million, down $3.8 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. Diluted EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $2.16, down $0.44 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company provisioned $1.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, to the allowance for loan losses primarily due to loan growth and net charge-offs. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company provisioned $511,000 and $1.3 million, respectively, to the allowance for loan losses primarily due to loan growth.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and the interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The Company’s net interest income is largely determined by our net interest spread, which is the difference between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, and the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Company’s tax-equivalent net interest spread was 2.77% and 3.31% for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 2.79% and 3.51% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Net interest income totaled $29.4 million for the second quarter of 2024, down $913,000, or 3.0%, compared to the second quarter of 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net interest income totaled $58.3 million, down $3.6 million, or 5.8%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The Company’s tax-equivalent net interest margin, which is net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets, was 3.66% and 3.94% for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the same periods, the average loan yield was 6.28% and 5.82%, respectively. The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was 3.65% and 4.06%, respectively. For the same periods, the average loan yield was 6.23% and 5.74%, respectively.

Acquired loan discount accretion included in interest income totaled $490,000 and $647,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, acquired loan discount accretion included in interest income totaled $1.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding (i) the total dollar amount of interest income of the Company from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields; (ii) the total dollar amount of interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant average rate; (iii) net interest income; (iv) net interest spread; and (v) net interest margin. Information is based on average monthly balances during the indicated periods. Taxable equivalent yields are calculated using a marginal tax rate of 21%.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2024 totaled $3.8 million, up $307,000, or 8.9%, from $3.4 million earned for the same period in 2023.

Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 totaled $7.3 million, up $545,000, or 8.1%, from $6.8 million earned for the same period in 2023.

Gains on the sale of loans for the second quarter of 2024 were up $100,000, or 384.6%, from the comparable period in 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, gains on the sale of loans were up $130,000, or 156.6%, from the comparable period in 2023 due to an increase in mortgage loan sales.

There were no gains or losses related to the sale of investment securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 or for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The Company recorded a net loss of $249,000 related to the sale of investment securities for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Other income for the second quarter of 2024 was up $150,000, or 68.2%, from the comparable period in 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, other income was up $281,000, or 62.4%, from the comparable period in 2023, primarily due to the increase in derivative fee income during 2024.

Income from bank card fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was up $36,000, or 2.1% and down $176,000, or 5.0%, respectively from the comparable period in 2023 primarily due to variations in transaction volumes by our cardholders.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2024 totaled $21.8 million, up $849,000, or 4.1%, from the second quarter of 2023. Noninterest expense increased over the comparable quarters primarily due to increases in data processing and communication (up $423,000, primarily due to increases in cost of maintenance contracts), compensation and benefits (up $187,000, primarily due to increases in salaries and bonuses), other noninterest expense (up $187,000), occupancy expenses (up $156,000, primarily due to an additional lease for our new Pasadena office in Houston), professional services (up $122,000) and regulatory fees (up $108,000), which were partially offset by the reversal of provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments (down $285,000).

Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 totaled $42.7 million, up $1.8 million, or 4.3%, from the same period in 2023. The increase in noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 related primarily to the absence of a

recovery of a previous loss on a foreclosed asset in the first quarter of 2023 in the amount of $739,000, increases in data processing and communication expense (up $616,000, primarily due to increases in cost of maintenance contracts), other noninterest expense (up $421,000), professional services (up $233,000) and marketing and advertising expense (up $202,000), which were partially offset by a decrease in amortization of acquisition intangibles (down $153,000) and the reversal of provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments (down $495,000).

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 totaled $2.0 million and $4.2 million, respectively, compared to $2.5 million and $5.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Income tax expense decreased over the prior comparable quarter primarily due to decreased taxable earnings. The Company's effective tax rates for the second quarters of 2024 and 2023 were 19.5% and 20.4%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company's effective tax rates were 19.5% and 20.2%, respectively.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

SEC guidance requires disclosure of “critical accounting estimates.” The SEC defines “critical accounting estimates” as those estimates made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the registrant.

We follow financial accounting and reporting policies that are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 1 - Basis of Presentation in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report and in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Not all significant accounting policies require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments. However, management believes the policy noted below meets the SEC’s definition of a critical accounting policy.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Management considers the policies related to the allowance for credit losses as the most critical to the financial statement presentation. The total allowance for credit losses includes activity related to allowances calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 326, Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses is established through a provision for credit losses charged to current earnings. The amount maintained in the allowance reflects management’s continuing evaluation of the credit losses expected to be recognized over the life of the loans in our portfolio. 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. For purposes of determining the allowance for credit losses, the loan portfolio is segregated by product types in order to recognize differing risk profiles among categories. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are not included in the collective evaluation. Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information from internal and external sources relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Adjustments to historical loss information are made to incorporate our reasonable and supportable forecast of future losses at the portfolio segment level, as well as any necessary qualitative adjustments, including, but not limited to, changes in current and expected future economic conditions, changes in industry experience and industry loan concentrations, changes in the volume and severity of nonperforming assets, changes in lending policies and personnel and changes in the competitive and regulatory environment of the banking industry. Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are individually evaluated and are excluded from the pooled loan analysis.


Item 3.			Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2023, under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk”. Additional information at June 30, 2024 is included herein under Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Asset/Liability Management”.


Item 4.			Controls and Procedures.

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations and are operating in an effective manner.

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the second quarter of 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
