Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Stock Yards Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company. The condensed consolidated financial statements in this report have not been audited by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature and all intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

To prepare the condensed consolidated financial statements, management must make estimates and assumptions that may require difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates, and the results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2026 do not necessarily indicate the results that Bancorp will achieve for the year ended December 31, 2026, or any other interim period.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations for Form 10-Q as adopted by the SEC. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Bancorp’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contain the latest audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary to present the results for interim periods fairly have been included.

 

Reclassifications Certain amounts presented in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported prior periods’ net income or stockholder’s equity.

 

Use of Estimates – To prepare financial statement in conformity with GAAP, management must make estimates and assumptions that require difficult, complex of subjective judgements, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances which could affect these judgements include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy and changes in the financial condition of borrowers.

 

Adoption of New Accounting Guidance In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, “Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans.” ASU 2025-08 expands the scope of the “gross up” method, formerly applicable only to PCD assets, to include acquired non-PCD loans that meet certain criteria, now referred to as “purchased seasoned loans,” (PSLs). Under this model, an allowance for expected credit losses is recognized at acquisition, offsetting the loan’s amortized cost basis, thereby eliminating the day-one credit-loss expense previously required for non-PCD assets. PSLs are defined as non-PCD loans acquired either (i) through a business combination, or (ii) purchased more than 90 days after origination, when the acquirer was not involved in origination. As permitted, Bancorp has elected to early adopt the amended guidance on January 1, 2026 on a prospective basis.

 

Accounting Standards Updates In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement Reporting Comprehensive Income Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This update requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. New financial statement disclosures are required in tabular format, disaggregating information about prescribed categories underlying any relevant income statement expense caption. The prescribed categories include, among other things, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. Additionally, entities must disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Bancorp is evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our financial statements.
