Commentary](index=1&type=section&id=Management%20Commentary) Management highlighted efforts to improve net interest margin by lowering deposit costs and originating higher-rate loans, alongside a focus on expense management, achieving year-over-year reductions through technology investments despite quarter-over-quarter increases, and noted an increase in nonperforming loans primarily due to two specific credits - The President and CEO, Laurie Stewart, noted a **12-basis point** improvement in net interest margin (NIM) compared to the prior quarter, driven by efforts to lower deposit costs and originate new loans at higher rates[2](index=2&type=chunk) - CFO Wes Ochs explained that quarter-over-quarter expense increases were due to typical year-end accrual adjustments and annual first-quarter expenses, however, year-over-year, combined salaries and benefits, and operational expenses decreased due to technology investments[3](index=3&type=chunk) - Nonperforming loans (NPLs) increased by **$2.2 million (28.9%)** to **$9.7 million** at March 31, 2025, mainly due to two specific credits, one of which has since been repaid, with **83%** of NPLs tied to four well-secured

2025 showed a decrease in net interest income quarter-over-quarter but an increase year-over-year, primarily driven by changes in interest income and expense dynamics, with noninterest income experiencing a slight decrease QoQ due to mortgage servicing rights adjustments and loan sales, while noninterest expense increased QoQ due to annual accruals and data processing costs, but saw some YoY reductions in operations Operating Results (Dollars in thousands, unaudited) | Metric | March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | March 31, 2024 | | :------------------------------------------------ |

(Release of) Provision for Credit Losses](index=3&type=section&id=Net%20Interest%20Income%20after%20%28Release%20of%29%20Provision%20for%20Credit%20Losses) Net interest income after provision for credit losses decreased quarter-over-quarter but increased year-over-year, with the QoQ decrease due to lower interest income from reduced loan/investment balances and yields, partially offset by lower interest expense from reduced deposit costs, and the YoY increase driven by higher loan yields and lower interest expense from reduced deposit balances and rates, despite lower interest-bearing cash income - The decrease in interest income from Q4 2024 was primarily due to a lower average balance of loans, investments, and interest-earning cash, along with declines in average yields on loans (**8 bps**), interest-bearing cash (**41 bps**), and investments (**57 bps**)[8](index=8&type=chunk) - Interest expense decreased QoQ due to lower average balances and rates paid on all categories of interest-bearing deposits, with the average cost of deposits falling from **2.58%** to **2.37%**[10](index=10&type=chunk) - A release of provision for credit losses of **$203 thousand** was recorded in Q1 2025, compared to a **$14 thousand** provision in Q4 2024 and a **$33 thousand** release in Q1 2024, mainly due to a smaller loan portfolio and reduced unfunded commitments[11](index=11&type=chunk)[14](index=14&type=chunk) [Noninterest Income](index=4&type=section&id=Noninterest%20Income) Total noninterest income decreased slightly quarter-over-quarter but remained stable year-over-year, with the QoQ decline mainly due to a downward adjustment in mortgage servicing rights and fewer loan sales, partially offset by increased earnings from bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) and service charges, and the YoY stability driven by increases in service charges and BOLI earnings, offset by decreases in mortgage servicing income and net gain on loan sales

- QoQ decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to a **$176 thousand** downward adjustment in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and lower loan sales (**$2.0 million** in Q1 2025 vs **$3.5 million** in Q4 2024)[16](index=16&type=chunk)[17](index=17&type=chunk) - QoQ decrease was partially offset by a **$68 thousand** increase in BOLI earnings (due to strategic policy exchange) and a **$65 thousand** increase in service charges and fee income (due to Mastercard volume incentive and higher interchange income)[17](index=17&type=chunk) [Noninterest Expense](index=5&type=section&id=Noninterest%20Expense) Total noninterest expense increased both quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year, with the QoQ increase mainly driven by higher salaries and benefits (due to accrual reversals, annual deferred compensation, 401(k) contributions, and payroll taxes), regulatory assessments, occupancy, data processing, and OREO additions, and the YoY increase primarily due to higher data processing expenses from project amortizations and increased regulatory assessments, partially offset by a decrease in operations expense due to Mastercard reimbursements

regulatory assessments, occupancy, data processing, and OREO[20](index=20&type=chunk) - YoY increase in noninterest expense was mainly due to a **$276 thousand** increase in data processing expenses (project amortizations) and a **$32 thousand** increase in regulatory assessments, partially offset by a **$92 thousand** decrease in operations expense (Mastercard reimbursements, cost
