The Corporation uses an internal risk rating system. Under the risk rating system, the Corporation classifies problem or potential problem loans as “Special Mention,” “Substandard,” or “Doubtful” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values. Loans that do not currently expose the Corporation to sufficient risk to warrant classification as Substandard or Doubtful, but possess weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention, are deemed to be Special Mention. Substandard loans include those characterized by the distinct possibility that the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans classified as Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as 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. Risk ratings are updated any time that conditions or the situation warrants. Loans not classified are included in the “Pass” rows in the table that follows. Residential mortgage and consumer loans are classified as Pass unless they become 90 days delinquent at which time their classification is changed to Substandard. Such loans are classified as Substandard until six consecutive on-time payments are made at which time their classification is changed back to Pass.

The Corporation has certain loans for which repayment is dependent upon the operation or sale of collateral, as the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The underlying collateral can vary based upon the type of loan. The following provides more detail about the types of collateral that secure collateral dependent loans: | ● | Commercial real estate loans can be secured by either owner occupied commercial real estate or non-owner occupied investment commercial real estate. Typically, owner occupied commercial real estate loans are secured by office buildings, warehouses, manufacturing facilities and other commercial and industrial properties occupied by operating companies. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans are generally secured by office buildings and complexes, retail facilities, multifamily complexes, land under development, industrial properties, as well as other commercial or industrial real estate. |
| ● | All other commercial loans include loans typically secured by business assets including inventory, equipment and receivables. Also within this category, commercial construction and land loans and some commercial lines of credit are secured by real estate. |
| ● | Residential mortgage loans are typically secured by first mortgages, and in some cases could be secured by a second mortgage. |
| ● | Consumer loans are generally secured by automobiles, motorcycles, recreational vehicles and other personal property. Some consumer loans are unsecured and have no underlying collateral. |

The ACL on loans individually evaluated increased to $2,772,000 at December 31, 2025 from $122,000 at December 31, 2024, including an ACL of $2,632,000 at December 31, 2025 on acquired PCD loans as part of the Susquehanna acquisition. The ACL on loans collectively evaluated increased to $28,276,000 at December 31, 2025 from $19,913,000 at December 31, 2024. The increase included the impact of growth in the portfolio, mainly from the Susquehanna acquisition, as well as a net increase related to changes in qualitative factors. The ACL on loans individually evaluated decreased to $122,000 at December 31, 2024 from $743,000 at December 31, 2023, primarily from partial charge-offs including two loans with individual ACLs at December 31, 2023. The increase in the ACL at December 31, 2024 as compared to December 31, 2023 included a net increase related to changes in qualitative adjustments and the net impact of an increase in loans receivable, partially offset by a decrease in the WARM method estimate and a decrease related to the economic forecast. The ACL on loans individually evaluated was $743,000 at December 31, 2023 compared to $751,000 at January 1, 2023, upon the initial adoption of CECL. The decrease in the ACL at December 31, 2023 from January 1, 2023 included a net increase related to changes in qualitative adjustments, an increase related to the economic forecast and the net impact of an increase in loans receivable, partially offset by a decrease in the WARM method estimate.

The Corporation closely monitors the performance of the loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification. The following tables present the performance of such loans that have been modified in the twelve-month period preceding December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands): | | | | | | | | | | | | | (In Thousands) | | Payment Status (Amortized Cost Basis) | December 31, 2025 | | Current or Past Due Less than 30 Days | | 30-89 Days Past Due | | 90+ Days Past Due | | Total | Commercial real estate - non-owner occupied | | $ | 0 | | $ | 1,717 | | $ | 0 | | $ | 1,717 |

The Corporation maintains an allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded balances for existing lines of credit, commitments to extend future credit, commercial letters of credit and credit enhancement obligations related to residential mortgage loans sold with recourse, when there is a contractual obligation to extend credit and when this extension of credit is not unconditionally cancellable (i.e. commitment cannot be canceled at any time). Additional information related to commitments to extend credit and standby letter of credits is provided in Note 16. 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 and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over their estimated lives. The allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet exposures of $1,029,000 at December 31, 2025 and $455,000 at December 31, 2024, is included in accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
