CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of our statements contained in this document, including matters discussed under the caption “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future financial performance, future plans and strategies, and anticipated events or trends, and include statements about the competitiveness of the banking industry, potential regulatory obligations, our entrance and expansion into other markets, including through our recent acquisition of Mountain Commerce Bancorp, Inc. or other potential acquisitions, our other business strategies and other statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance or results. When we use words like “may,” “plan,” “contemplate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “continue,” “expect,” “project,” “predict,” “estimate,” “could,” “should,” “would,” and similar expressions, you should consider them as identifying forward-looking statements, although we may use other phrasing. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and are based on our beliefs and assumptions, and on the information available to us at the time that these disclosures were prepared. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and may not be realized due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

•the effects of future local, regional, national and international economic conditions, including recent or future changes in tariffs or trade policies, inflation, or a decrease in commercial real estate and residential housing values;

•changes in the level of nonperforming assets and charge-offs, and credit risk generally;

•the risks of changes in interest rates or the level and composition of deposits, loan demand and the values of loan collateral, securities and interest-sensitive assets and liabilities;

•the effect of any mergers, acquisitions or other transactions to which we or our bank subsidiary may from time to time be a party, including our ability to successfully integrate our recent acquisition of Mountain Commerce Bancorp, Inc. and its bank subsidiary, as well as any other businesses that we may acquire;

•the risk that expected cost savings and other benefits from acquisitions may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected;

•the possibility that an acquisition does not close when expected or at all because required regulatory, shareholder or other approvals and other conditions to closing are not received or satisfied on a timely basis or at all;

•the reaction to a proposed acquisition of the respective companies’ customers, employees and counterparties;

•diversion of management time on acquisition-related issues;

•the ability to enter into and/or close additional acquisitions;

•the availability of and access to capital and liquidity on terms acceptable to us;

•legislation and regulation affecting the financial services industry as a whole, and the Company and its subsidiaries in particular, and future legislative and regulatory changes;

•changes in governmental monetary and fiscal policies;

•the effects of terrorism and efforts to combat it, political instability, war, military conflicts and other major domestic or international events;

•the impacts of recent or future adverse weather events, including hurricanes, and other natural disasters;

•the ability to keep pace with technological changes, including changes regarding cybersecurity and artificial intelligence;

•an increase in the incidence or severity of, or any adverse effects resulting from, acts of fraud, illegal payments, cybersecurity breaches or other illegal acts impacting our bank subsidiary, our vendors or our customers;

Table of Contents

•the effects of competition from other commercial banks, thrifts, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies, credit unions, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market and other mutual funds and other financial institutions operating in our market area and elsewhere, including institutions operating regionally, nationally and internationally, together with competitors offering banking products and services by mail, telephone and the Internet;

•potential claims, expenses and other adverse effects related to current or future litigation, regulatory examinations or other government actions;

•potential increases in deposit insurance assessments, increased regulatory scrutiny, investment portfolio losses, or market disruptions resulting from financial challenges in the banking industry;

•disruptions, uncertainties and related effects on credit quality, liquidity, other aspects of our business and our operations that may result from any future public health crises;

•the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices and auditing requirements, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and other accounting standard setters;

•higher defaults on our loan portfolio than we expect; and

•the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of our allowance for credit losses or changes in our estimate of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses.

All written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by this Cautionary Note. Our actual results may differ significantly from those we discuss in these forward-looking statements. For other factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from estimates and projections contained in these forward-looking statements, see the "Risk Factors" section of our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 27, 2026.

1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Home BancShares, Inc. (the "Company" or "HBI") is a bank holding company headquartered in Conway, Arkansas. The Company is primarily engaged in providing a full range of banking services to individual and corporate customers through its wholly-owned community bank subsidiary – Centennial Bank (sometimes referred to as "Centennial" or the "Bank"). As of March 31, 2026, the Bank had branch locations in Arkansas, Florida, South Alabama, Texas and New York City. The Company is subject to competition from other financial institutions. The Company also is subject to the regulation of certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

A summary of the significant accounting policies of the Company follows:

Operating Segments

Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Bank is the only significant subsidiary upon which management makes decisions regarding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Each of the regions and branches of the Bank provide a group of similar banking services, including such products and services as commercial, real estate and consumer loans, time deposits, checking and savings accounts. The individual bank branches and regions have similar operating and economic characteristics. While the chief operating decision maker monitors the revenue streams of the various products, services, branch locations and regions, operations are managed, and financial performance is evaluated on a company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the banking services and branch locations are considered by management to be aggregated into one reportable operating segment.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the valuation of investment securities, and the valuation of foreclosed assets. In connection with the determination of the allowance for credit losses and the valuation of foreclosed assets, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HBI and its subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Various items within the accompanying consolidated financial statements for previous periods have been reclassified to provide more comparative information. These reclassifications had no effect on net earnings or stockholders’ equity.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, cash held as demand deposits at various banks and the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") and interest-bearing deposits with other banks. Included in cash and cash equivalents were $8.8 million and $9.4 million of restricted cash as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Table of Contents

Interim financial information

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in condensed format, and therefore do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.

The information furnished in these interim statements reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for each respective period presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations in the interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other quarter or for the full year. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2026.

Loans Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding principal balance adjusted for any charge-offs, deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income on loans is accrued over the term of the loans based on the principal balance outstanding. Loan origination fees and direct origination costs are capitalized and recognized as adjustments to yield on the related loans.

The allowance for credit losses on loans receivable 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. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed and expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off.

The Company uses the discounted cash flow ("DCF") method to estimate expected losses for all of the Company’s loan pools. These pools are as follows: construction & land development; other commercial real estate; residential real estate; commercial & industrial; and consumer & other. The loan portfolio pools were selected in order to generally align with the loan categories specified in the quarterly call reports required to be filed with the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council. For each of these loan pools, the Company generates cash flow projections at the instrument level wherein payment expectations are adjusted for estimated prepayment speed, curtailments, time to recovery, probability of default, and loss given default. The modeling of expected prepayment speeds, curtailment rates, and time to recovery are based on historical internal data. The Company uses regression analysis of historical internal and peer data to determine suitable loss drivers to utilize when modeling lifetime probability of default and loss given default. This analysis also determines how expected probability of default and loss given default will react to forecasted levels of the loss drivers.

For all DCF models, management has determined that four quarters represents a reasonable and supportable forecast period and reverts to a historical loss rate over four quarters on a straight-line basis. Management leverages economic projections from a reputable and independent third party to inform its loss driver forecasts over the four-quarter forecast period. Other internal and external indicators of economic forecasts are also considered by management when developing the forecast metrics.

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. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level, or term as well as for changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in the national unemployment rate, gross domestic product, national retail sales index and the Federal Housing Finance Agency ("FHFA") housing price index.

Table of Contents

The allowance for credit losses is measured based on call report segment as these types of loans exhibit similar risk characteristics. The identified loan segments are as follows:

•1-4 family residential construction loans

•Other construction loans and all land development and other land loans

•Loans secured by farmland (including farm residential and other improvements)

•Revolving, open-end loans secured by 1-4 family residential properties and extended under lines

•Secured by first liens

•Secured by junior liens

•Secured by multifamily (5 or more) residential properties

•Loans secured by owner-occupied, nonfarm nonresidential properties

•Loans secured by other nonfarm nonresidential properties

•Loans to finance agricultural production and other loans to farmers

•Commercial and industrial loans

•Other revolving credit plans

•Automobile loans

•Other consumer loans

•Other consumer loans - Shore Premier Finance

•Obligations (other than securities and leases) of states and political subdivisions in the US

•Loans to nondepository financial institutions

•Loans for purchasing or carrying securities

•All other loans

•Leases

Loans considered to be collateral dependent, according to ASC 326, are loans for which repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty based on the Company's assessment as of the reporting date. The aggregate amount of collateral shortfall on such loans is utilized in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses and amount of provisions thereto. Losses on collateral dependent loans are charged against the allowance for credit losses when in the process of collection, it appears likely that such losses will be realized. The accrual of interest on collateral dependent loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion the collection of interest is doubtful or generally when loans are 90 days or more past due. When accrual of interest is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received in excess of principal due. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Loans evaluated individually that are considered to be collateral dependent are not included in the collective evaluation. For these loans, where the Company has determined that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Company expects repayment of the loan to be provided substantially through the sale of the collateral, the allowance for credit losses is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral, net of estimated costs to sell, and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date. When repayment is expected to be from the operation of the collateral, expected credit losses are calculated as the amount by which the amortized cost basis of the loan exceeds the present value of expected cash flows from the operation of the collateral. The allowance for credit losses may be zero if the fair value of the collateral at the measurement date exceeds the amortized cost basis of the loan, net of estimated costs to sell. For individually analyzed loans which are not considered to be collateral dependent, an allowance is recorded based on the loss rate for the respective pool within the collective evaluation.

Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments and curtailments when appropriate. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals, and modifications unless either of the following applies:

•Management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that restructured loans made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty will be executed with an individual borrower.

•The extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company.

Table of Contents

Management qualitatively adjusts model results for risk factors that are not considered within our modeling processes but are nonetheless relevant in assessing the expected credit losses within our loan pools. These qualitative factors ("Q-Factors") and other qualitative adjustments may increase or decrease management's estimate of expected credit losses by a calculated percentage or amount based upon the estimated level of risk. The various risks that may be considered in making Q-Factor and other qualitative adjustments include, among other things, the impact of (i) changes in lending policies, procedures and strategies; (ii) changes in nature and volume of the portfolio; (iii) staff experience; (iv) changes in volume and trends in classified loans, delinquencies and nonaccruals; (v) concentration risk; (vi) trends in underlying collateral values; (vii) external factors such as competition, legal and regulatory environment; (viii) changes in the quality of the loan review system and (ix) economic conditions.

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when management believes that the borrower’s financial condition, after giving consideration to economic and business conditions and collection efforts, is such that collection of interest is doubtful, or generally when loans are 90 days or more past due. Loans are charged against the allowance for credit losses when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely. Accrued interest related to non-accrual loans is generally charged against the allowance for credit losses when accrued in prior years and reversed from interest income if accrued in the current year. Interest income on non-accrual loans may be recognized to the extent cash payments are received, although the majority of payments received are usually applied to principal. Non-accrual loans are generally returned to accrual status when principal and interest payments are less than 90 days past due, the customer has made the required payments for at least six months, and we reasonably expect to collect all principal and interest.

The Company has purchased loans, some of which have experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination. Purchase credit deteriorated ("PCD") loans are recorded at the amount paid. An allowance for credit losses is determined using the same methodology as other loans. The initial allowance for credit losses determined on a collective basis is allocated to individual loans. The sum of the loan’s purchase price and allowance for credit losses becomes its initial amortized cost basis. The difference between the initial amortized cost basis and the par value of the loan is a noncredit discount or premium, which is amortized into interest income over the life of the loan. Subsequent changes to the allowance for credit losses are recorded through the provision for credit loss.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures

The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for or recovery of 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 its estimated life.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during each year. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average shares and all potential dilutive shares outstanding during the period. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") for the following periods:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025
	(In thousands)
Net income	$	118,209	$	115,209
Average shares outstanding	196,528		198,657
Effect of common stock options	205		195
Average diluted shares outstanding	196,733		198,852
Basic earnings per share	$	0.60	$	0.58
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.60	$	0.58

The impact of anti-dilutive shares to the diluted earnings per share calculation was considered immaterial for the periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Table of Contents

Debt securities available-for-sale ("AFS") are reported at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes. Securities that are held as available-for-sale are used as a part of our asset/liability management strategy. Securities that may be sold in response to interest rate changes, changes in prepayment risk, the need to increase regulatory capital, and other similar factors are classified as available-for-sale. The Company evaluates all securities quarterly to determine if any securities in a loss position require a provision for credit losses. The Company first assesses whether it intends to sell or is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For securities that do not meet these criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company has made the election to exclude accrued interest receivable on AFS securities from the estimate of credit losses and report accrued interest separately on the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.

Debt securities held-to-maturity ("HTM"), which include any security for which we have the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity, are reported at historical cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted to the call date to interest income using the constant effective yield method over the estimated life of the security. The Company evaluates all securities quarterly to determine if any securities in a loss position require a provision for credit losses. The Company measures expected credit losses on HTM securities on a collective basis by major security type, with each type sharing similar risk characteristics. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company has made the election to exclude accrued interest receivable on HTM securities from the estimate of credit losses and report accrued interest separately on the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a security is confirmed.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company determined no allowance for credit losses on the available-for-sale portfolio was necessary. The Company also determined the $2.0 million allowance for credit losses on the held-to-maturity portfolio was adequate. Therefore, no provision was considered necessary for either portfolio.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company determined the $2.2 million allowance for credit losses on the available-for-sale portfolio and the $2.0 million allowance for credit losses on the held-to-maturity portfolio were adequate. Therefore, no additional provision was considered necessary.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company had available-for-sale investment securities with approximately $239.5 million in unrealized losses, of which $236.4 million had been in continuous loss positions for more than twelve months. The Company’s assessments indicated the cause of the market depreciation was primarily due to the change in interest rates and not the issuer’s financial condition or downgrades by rating agencies. In addition, approximately 43.8% of the principal balance from the Company’s investment portfolio will mature or are expected to pay down within five years or less. As a result, the Company has the ability and intent to hold such securities until maturity.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company's available-for-sale securities portfolio consisted of 1,452 investment securities, 1,196 of which were in an unrealized loss position. As noted in the table above, the total amount of the unrealized loss was $239.5 million. The U.S. government-sponsored enterprises portfolio contained unrealized losses of $7.4 million on 53 securities. The U.S. government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities portfolio contained $143.8 million of unrealized losses on 609 securities, and the private mortgage-backed securities portfolio contained $8.1 million of unrealized losses on 29 securities. The non-government-sponsored asset backed securities portfolio contained $1.1 million of unrealized losses on 13 securities. The state and political subdivisions portfolio contained $70.7 million of unrealized losses on 441 securities. In addition, the other securities portfolio contained $8.3 million of unrealized losses on 51 securities. The unrealized losses on the Company's investments were a result of interest rate changes, and the Company expects to recover the amortized cost basis over the term of the securities. The Company has determined that, as of March 31, 2026, a reserve for credit losses is not necessary because the decline in market value was attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company's held-to-maturity securities portfolio consisted of 511 investment securities, 498 of which were in an unrealized loss position. As noted in the table above, the total amount of the unrealized loss was $111.8 million. The U.S. government-sponsored enterprises portfolio contained unrealized losses of $1.8 million on 5 securities. The U.S. government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities portfolio contained unrealized losses of $4.1 million on 16 securities. The state and political subdivisions portfolio contained $105.9 million of unrealized losses on 477 securities. The unrealized losses on the Company's investments were a result of interest rate changes. The Company expects to recover the amortized cost basis over the term of the securities. Because the decline in market value was attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, the Company has determined that an additional provision for credit losses was not necessary as of March 31, 2026.

The following table summarizes bond ratings for the Company’s held-to-maturity portfolio, based upon amortized cost, issued by state and political subdivisions and other securities as of March 31, 2026:

Mortgage loans held for sale of approximately $201.9 million and $204.0 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, are included in residential 1-4 family loans. Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, determined using an aggregate basis. Gains and losses resulting from sales of mortgage loans are recognized when the respective loans are sold to investors. Gains and losses are determined by the difference between the selling price and the carrying amount of the loans sold, net of discounts collected or paid. The Company obtains forward commitments to sell mortgage loans to reduce market risk on mortgage loans in the process of origination and mortgage loans held for sale. The forward commitments acquired by the Company for mortgage loans in process of origination are considered mandatory forward commitments. Because these commitments are structured on a mandatory basis, the Company is required to substitute another loan or to buy back the commitment if the original loan does not fund. The Company regularly sells mortgages into the capital markets to mitigate the effects of interest rate volatility during the period from the time an interest rate lock commitment ("IRLC") is issued until the IRLC funds creating a mortgage loan held for sale and its subsequent sale into the secondary/capital markets. Loan sales are typically executed on a mandatory basis. Under a mandatory commitment, the Company agrees to deliver a specified dollar amount with predetermined terms by a certain date. Generally, the commitment is not loan specific, and any combination of loans can be delivered into the outstanding commitment provided the terms fall within the parameters of the commitment. Upon failure to deliver, the Company is subject to fees based on market movement. These commitments and IRLCs are derivative instruments and their fair values at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were not material.

Purchased loans that have experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination are purchase credit deteriorated ("PCD") loans. An allowance for credit losses is determined using the same methodology as other loans. The Company develops separate PCD models for each loan segment with PCD loans not individually analyzed for credit losses. The initial allowance for credit losses determined on a collective basis is allocated to individual loans. The sum of the loan’s purchase price and allowance for credit losses becomes its initial amortized cost basis. The difference between the initial amortized cost basis and the par value of the loan is a non-credit discount or premium which is amortized into interest income over the life of the loan. Subsequent changes to the allowance for credit losses are recorded through the provision for credit losses. The Company held approximately $51.3 million and $52.2 million in PCD loans, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The balances result entirely from the acquisition of Happy Bancshares, Inc. in 2022.

A description of our accounting policies for loans and impaired loans (which includes loans individually analyzed for credit losses for which a specific reserve has been recorded, non-accrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and restructured loans made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty) are set forth in our 2025 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2026.

5. Allowance for Credit Losses, Credit Quality and Other

The Company uses the discounted cash flow ("DCF") method to estimate expected losses for all of the Company’s loan pools. These pools are as follows: construction & land development; other commercial real estate; residential real estate; commercial & industrial; and consumer & other. The loan portfolio pools were selected in order to generally align with the loan categories specified in the quarterly call reports required to be filed with the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council. For each of these loan pools, the Company generates cash flow projections at the instrument level wherein payment expectations are adjusted for estimated prepayment speed, curtailments, time to recovery, probability of default, and loss given default. The modeling of expected prepayment speeds, curtailment rates, and time to recovery is based on historical internal data and is tested and updated on an annual basis. The Company uses regression analysis of historical internal and peer data to determine suitable loss drivers to utilize when modeling lifetime probability of default and loss given default. This analysis also determines how expected probability of default and loss given default will react to forecasted levels of the loss drivers.

Management qualitatively adjusts model results for risk factors ("Q-Factors") that are not considered within our modeling processes but are, nonetheless, relevant in assessing the expected credit losses within our loan pools. These Q-Factors and other qualitative adjustments may increase or decrease management's estimate of expected credit losses by a calculated percentage or amount based upon the estimated level of risk. The various risks that may be considered in making Q-Factor and other qualitative adjustments include, among other things, the impact of (i) changes in lending policies, procedures and strategies; (ii) changes in nature and volume of the portfolio; (iii) staff experience; (iv) changes in volume and trends in classified loans, delinquencies and nonaccruals; (v) concentration risk; (vi) trends in underlying collateral values; (vii) external factors such as competition, legal and regulatory environment; (viii) changes in the quality of the loan review system; and (ix) economic conditions.

Each year management evaluates the performance of the selected models used in the CECL calculation through backtesting. Based on the results of the testing, management determines if the various models produced accurate results compared to the actual losses incurred for the current economic environment. Management then determines if changes to the assumptions and economic factors would produce a stronger overall calculation that is more responsive to changes in economic conditions. The Company continues to use regression analysis to determine suitable loss drivers to utilize when modeling lifetime probability of default and loss given default for the changes in the economic factors for the loss driver segments. Based on this analysis, management determined that changes to some of the economic factors for the loss driver segments, along with other model improvements and updates, were necessary, and updated models were implemented for the March 31, 2026 allowance for credit losses calculation. The identified loss drivers by segment are included below as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

The combination of adjustments for credit expectations (default and loss) and time expectations (prepayment, curtailment, and time to recovery) produces an expected cash flow stream at the instrument level. Instrument effective yield is calculated, net of the impacts of prepayment assumptions, and the instrument expected cash flows are then discounted at that effective yield to produce an instrument-level net present value of expected cash flows ("NPV"). An allowance for credit loss is established for the difference between the instrument’s NPV and amortized cost basis.

Construction/Land Development and Other Commercial Real Estate Loans. We originate non-farm and non-residential loans (primarily secured by commercial real estate), construction/land development loans, and agricultural loans, which are generally secured by real estate located in our market areas. Our commercial mortgage loans are generally collateralized by first liens on real estate and amortized (where defined) over a 15 to 30 year period with balloon payments due at the end of one to five years. These loans are generally underwritten by assessing cash flow (debt service coverage), primary and secondary source of repayment, the financial strength of the borrower as well as any guarantors, the strength of the tenant (if any), the borrower’s liquidity and leverage, management experience, ownership structure, economic conditions and industry specific trends and collateral. Generally, we will loan up to 85% of the value of improved property, 65% of the value of raw land and 75% of the value of land to be acquired and developed. A first lien on the property and assignment of lease is required if the collateral is rental property, with second lien positions considered on a case-by-case basis.

Residential Real Estate Loans. We originate one to four family, residential mortgage loans generally secured by property located in our primary market areas. Residential real estate loans generally have a loan-to-value ratio of up to 90%. These loans are underwritten by giving consideration to many factors including the borrower’s ability to pay, stability of employment or source of income, debt-to-income ratio, credit history and loan-to-value ratio.

Commercial and Industrial Loans. Commercial and industrial loans are made for a variety of business purposes, including working capital, inventory, equipment and capital expansion. The terms for commercial loans are generally one to seven years. Commercial loan applications must be supported by current financial information on the borrower and, where appropriate, by adequate collateral. Commercial loans are generally underwritten by addressing cash flow (debt service coverage), primary and secondary sources of repayment, the financial strength of the borrower as well as any guarantors, the borrower’s liquidity and leverage, management experience, ownership structure, economic conditions and industry specific trends and collateral. The loan to value ratio depends on the type of collateral. Generally, accounts receivable are financed at between 50% and 80% of accounts receivable less than 60 days past due. Inventory financing will range between 50% and 80% (with no work in process) depending on the borrower and nature of inventory. We require a first lien position for those loans.

Consumer & Other Loans. Our consumer & other loans are primarily composed of loans to finance United States Coast Guard registered high-end sail and power boats. The performance of consumer & other loans will be affected by the local and regional economies as well as the rates of personal bankruptcies, job loss, divorce and other individual changes in circumstance.

Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures. The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for credit loss on 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 its estimated life. The Company uses the DCF method to estimate expected losses for all of the Company’s off-balance sheet credit exposures through the use of the existing DCF models for the Company’s loan portfolio pools. The off-balance sheet credit exposures exhibit similar risk characteristics as loans currently in the Company’s loan portfolio.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded $1.5 million in provision for credit losses on loans, and the Company recovered $1.0 million in credit losses on unfunded commitments.

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company implemented updated allowance for credit loss models as part of the annual model review and challenge process. The allowance calculation called for a higher level of reserves for the CRE portfolio, which was largely offset by a corresponding reduction in reserves for the commercial and industrial portfolio as well as the consumer portfolio.

Credit Quality Indicators. As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to (i) the risk rating of loans, (ii) the level of classified loans, (iii) net charge-offs, (iv) non-performing loans and (v) the general economic conditions in Arkansas, Florida, Texas, Alabama and New York.

The Company utilizes a risk rating matrix to assign a risk rating to each of its loans. Loans are rated on a scale from 1 to 8. Descriptions of the general characteristics of the 8 risk ratings are as follows:

•Risk rating 1 – Excellent. Loans in this category are to persons or entities of unquestionable financial strength, a highly liquid financial position, with collateral that is liquid and well margined. These borrowers have performed without question on past obligations, and the Bank expects their performance to continue. Internally generated cash flow covers current maturities of long-term debt by a substantial margin. Loans secured by bank certificates of deposit and savings accounts, with appropriate holds placed on the accounts, are to be rated in this category.

•Risk rating 2 – Good. These are loans to persons or entities with strong financial condition and above-average liquidity that have previously satisfactorily handled their obligations with the Bank. Collateral securing the Bank’s debt is margined in accordance with policy guidelines. Internally generated cash flow covers current maturities of long-term debt more than adequately. Unsecured loans to individuals supported by strong financial statements and on which repayment is satisfactory may be included in this classification.

•Risk rating 3 – Satisfactory. Loans to persons or entities with an average financial condition, adequate collateral margins, adequate cash flow to service long-term debt, and net worth comprised mainly of fixed assets are included in this category. These entities are minimally profitable now, with projections indicating continued profitability into the foreseeable future. Closely held corporations or businesses where a majority of the profits are withdrawn by the owners or paid in dividends are included in this rating category. Overall, these loans are basically sound.

•Risk rating 4 – Watch. Borrowers who have marginal cash flow, marginal profitability or have experienced an unprofitable year and a declining financial condition characterize these loans. The borrower has in the past satisfactorily handled debts with the Bank, but in recent months has either been late, delinquent in making payments, or made sporadic payments. While the Bank continues to be adequately secured, margins have decreased or are decreasing, despite the borrower’s continued satisfactory condition. Other characteristics of borrowers in this class include inadequate credit information, weakness of financial statement and repayment capacity, but with collateral that appears to limit exposure.

•Risk rating 5 – Other Loans Especially Mentioned ("OLEM"). A loan criticized as OLEM has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. OLEM assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

•Risk rating 6 – Substandard. A loan classified as substandard is inadequately protected by the sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or the collateral pledged. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard loans, does not have to exist in individual assets.

•Risk rating 7 – Doubtful. A loan classified as doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in a loan classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. These are poor quality loans in which neither the collateral, if any, nor the financial condition of the borrower presently ensure collectability in full in a reasonable period of time; in fact, there is permanent impairment in the collateral securing the loan.

•Risk rating 8 – Loss. Assets classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that the continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather, it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset, even though partial recovery may occur in the future. This classification is based upon current facts, not probabilities. Assets classified as loss should be charged-off in the period in which they became uncollectible.

Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. All loans over $2.0 million that are rated 5 – 8 are individually assessed for credit losses on a quarterly basis. For these loans, where the Company has determined that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Company expects repayment of the financial asset to be provided substantially through the sale of the collateral, the allowance for credit losses is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral, net of estimated costs to sell, and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date. When repayment is expected to be from the operation of the collateral, expected credit losses are calculated as the amount by which the amortized cost basis of the loan exceeds the present value of expected cash flows from the operation of the collateral. The allowance for credit losses may be zero if the fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell, or present value of cash flows at the measurement date exceeds the amortized cost basis of the loan.

The Company closely monitors the performance of the loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. The Company has modified 11 loans over the past 12 months to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The pre-modification balance of the loans was $1.2 million, and the ending balance as of March 31, 2026 was $1.1 million. The $1.1 million balance consists of $660,000 of non-accrual loans and $443,000 of current loans as of March 31, 2026.

Upon the Company's determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses on loans is adjusted by the same amount. The defaults impact the loss rate by applicable loan pool for the quarterly CECL calculation. For individually analyzed loans which are not considered to be collateral dependent, an allowance is recorded based on the loss rate for the respective pool within the collective evaluation.

The following is a presentation of total foreclosed assets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

	March 31, 2026		December 31, 2025
	(In thousands)
Gross carrying basis	$	128,888	$	128,888
Accumulated amortization	(98,533)		(96,595)
Net carrying amount	$	30,355	$	32,293

Core deposit intangible amortization expense was approximately $1.9 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company’s estimated amortization expense of core deposits intangibles for each of the years 2026 through 2030 is approximately: 2026 – $7.8 million; 2027 – $6.6 million; 2028 – $4.2 million; 2029 – $4.2 million; 2030 - $4.2 million.

The carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill was $1.40 billion at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or more often if events and circumstances indicate there may be an impairment. During the 2025 review, no impairment was found. If the implied fair value of goodwill is lower than its carrying amount, goodwill impairment is indicated, and goodwill is written down to its implied fair value. Subsequent increases in goodwill value are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

7. Other Assets

Other assets consist primarily of equity securities without a readily determinable fair value and other miscellaneous assets. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, other assets were $371.3 million and $374.6 million, respectively.

The Company has equity securities without readily determinable fair values such as stock holdings in the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"), the Federal Reserve Bank ("Federal Reserve") and First National Bankers' Bank ("FNBB") which are outside the scope of ASC Topic 321, Investments – Equity Securities ("ASC Topic 321").

The Company holds equity securities accounted for under ASC Topic 321, including securities without a readily determinable fair value and securities measured using net asset value as a practical expedient to determine fair value under ASC Topic 820. These equity securities were $99.1 million and $97.1 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. There were no transactions during the period that would indicate a material change in fair value. The remaining capital commitments were $25.3 million and $27.0 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

10. FHLB and Other Borrowed Funds

The Company’s FHLB borrowed funds, which are secured by our loan portfolio, were $500.0 million at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. At both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $100.0 million and $400.0 million of the outstanding balances were classified as short-term and long-term advances, respectively.

The FHLB advances mature from 2026 to 2037 with fixed interest rates ranging from 3.37% to 4.84%. Expected maturities could differ from contractual maturities because FHLB may have the right to call, or the Company may have the right to prepay certain obligations.

Other borrowed funds were $250,000 at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. These were classified as short-term advances.

Additionally, the Company had $1.51 billion and $1.48 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, in letters of credit under a FHLB blanket borrowing line of credit, which are used to collateralize public deposits.

Total	$	279,433	$	279,265

Subordinated Debt Securities. On January 18, 2022, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.125% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2032 (the "2032 Notes") for net proceeds, after underwriting discounts and issuance costs of approximately $296.4 million. The 2032 Notes are unsecured, subordinated debt obligations of the Company and will mature on January 30, 2032. From and including the date of issuance to, but excluding January 30, 2027 or the date of earlier redemption, the 2032 Notes will bear interest at an initial rate of 3.125% per annum, payable in arrears on January 30 and July 30 of each year. From and including January 30, 2027 to, but excluding, the maturity date or earlier redemption, the 2032 Notes will bear interest at a floating rate equal to the Benchmark rate (which is expected to be Three-Month Term SOFR), each as defined in and subject to the provisions of the applicable supplemental indenture for the 2032 Notes, plus 182 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears on January 30, April 30, July 30, and October 30 of each year, commencing on April 30, 2027.

Table of Contents

The Company may, beginning with the interest payment date of January 30, 2027, and on any interest payment date thereafter, redeem the 2032 Notes, in whole or in part, subject to prior approval of the Federal Reserve if then required, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2032 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date of redemption. The Company may also redeem the 2032 Notes at any time, including prior to January 30, 2027, at the Company’s option, in whole but not in part, subject to prior approval of the Federal Reserve if then required, if certain events occur that could impact the Company’s ability to deduct interest payable on the 2032 Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes or preclude the 2032 Notes from being recognized as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes, or if the Company is required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. In each case, the redemption would be at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2032 Notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

On September 4, 2025, the Company repurchased $20.0 million of the 2032 Notes in an open-market transaction. The repurchase resulted in a $1.9 million gain.

(1) State taxes in Arkansas, Florida and New York made up the majority (greater than 50%) of the tax effect in this category.

The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes, net of federal benefit, and executive compensation, which increased the rate. These increases were partially offset by the effect of non-taxable interest income, which lowered the rate.

Stock Compensation Plans

The Company has a stock option and performance incentive plan known as the Home BancShares, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain highly qualified officers, directors, key employees, and other persons, and to motivate those persons to improve the Company’s business results. As of March 31, 2026, the maximum total number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance under the Plan was 14,788,000 shares. At March 31, 2026, the Company had 1,280,014 shares of common stock available for future grants and 2,443,213 shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan.

The intrinsic value of the stock options outstanding was $4.5 million, which includes the intrinsic value of vested stock options of $4.5 million at March 31, 2026. The intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was approximately $349,000. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards, which are expected to be recognized over the vesting periods, was approximately $287,000 as of March 31, 2026.

The table below summarizes the stock option transactions under the Plan at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and changes during the three month period and year then ended:


	For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026			For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
	Shares (000)	Weighted- Average Exercisable Price		Shares (000)	Weighted- Average Exercisable Price

Stock-based compensation expense for stock-based compensation awards granted is based on the grant-date fair value. For stock option awards, the fair value is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, changes to which can materially affect the fair value estimate. Additionally, there may be other factors that would otherwise have a significant effect on the value of employee stock options granted but are not considered by the model. Accordingly, while management believes that the Black-Scholes option-pricing model provides a reasonable estimate of fair value, the model does not necessarily provide the best single measure of fair value for the Company's employee stock options. There were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the weighted-average assumptions for expected dividend yield, expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected life of options granted.

The assumptions used in determining the fair value of the 2026 and 2025 stock option grants were as follows:


	For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026	For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
Expected dividend yield	Not applicable	3.02	%
Expected stock price volatility	Not applicable	29.16	%
Risk-free interest rate	Not applicable	4.13	%
Expected life of options	Not applicable	6.5 years

15. Leases

The Company leases land and office facilities under long-term, non-cancelable operating lease agreements. The leases expire at various dates through 2039 and do not include renewal options based on economic factors that would have implied that continuation of the lease was reasonably certain. Certain leases provide for increases in future minimum annual rental payments as defined in the lease agreements. The leases generally include real estate taxes and common area maintenance charges in the rental payments. Short-term leases are leases having a term of twelve months or less. The Company does not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component of our operating leases. As a result, the Company accounts for these components as a single component since (i) the timing and pattern of transfer of the nonlease components and the associated lease component are the same and (ii) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. The Company recognizes short term leases on a straight-line basis and does not record a related right-of-use ("ROU") asset and liability for such leases. In addition, equipment leases were determined to be immaterial and a related ROU asset and liability for such leases is not recorded.

As of March 31, 2026, the balances of the ROU asset and lease liability were $31.8 million and $32.7 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the balances of the ROU asset and lease liability were $33.9 million and $34.8 million, respectively. The ROU asset is included in bank premises and equipment, net, and the lease liability is included in accrued interest payable and other liabilities.

16. Significant Estimates and Concentrations of Credit Risks

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require disclosure of certain significant estimates and current vulnerabilities due to certain concentrations. Estimates related to the allowance for credit losses and certain concentrations of credit risk are reflected in Note 5, while deposit concentrations are reflected in Note 8.

The Company’s primary market areas as of March 31, 2026, are in Arkansas, Florida, Texas, South Alabama and New York. The Company primarily grants loans to customers located within these markets unless the borrower has an established relationship with the Company.

The diversity of the Company’s economic base tends to provide a stable lending environment. Although the Company has a loan portfolio that is diversified in both industry and geographic area, a substantial portion of its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent upon real estate values, tourism demand and the economic conditions prevailing in its market areas.

Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, commercial real estate loans represented 53.3% and 53.2% of total loans receivable, respectively, and 191.5% and 194.3% of total stockholders’ equity, respectively. Residential real estate loans represented 21.3% and 20.9% of total loans receivable and 76.6% and 76.2% of total stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Approximately 79.4% of the Company’s total loans and 83.5% of the Company’s real estate loans as of March 31, 2026, are to borrowers whose collateral is located in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Texas and New York, the states in which the Company has its branch locations as of March 31, 2026.

Any future volatility in the economy could cause the values of assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements to change rapidly, resulting in material future adjustments in asset values, the allowance for credit losses and capital that could negatively impact the Company’s ability to meet regulatory capital requirements and maintain sufficient liquidity.

17. Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company makes various commitments and incurs certain contingent liabilities to fulfill the financing needs of its customers. These commitments and contingent liabilities include lines of credit and commitments to extend credit and issue standby letters of credit. The Company applies the same credit policies and standards as they do in the lending process when making these commitments. The collateral obtained is based on the assessed creditworthiness of the borrower.

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, commitments to extend credit of $4.03 billion and $4.13 billion, respectively, were outstanding. A percentage of these balances are participated out to other banks; therefore, the Company can call on the participating banks to fund future draws. Since some of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Outstanding standby letters of credit are contingent commitments issued by the Company, generally to guarantee the performance of a customer in third-party borrowing arrangements. The term of the guarantee is dependent upon the creditworthiness of the borrower. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate. Management uses the same credit policies in granting lines of credit as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. The maximum amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these guarantees at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, was $129.5 million and $131.9 million, respectively.

The Company and/or its bank subsidiary have various unrelated legal proceedings, most of which involve loan foreclosure activity pending, which, in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations or cash flows of the Company and its subsidiary.

The Bank is subject to a legal limitation on dividends that can be paid to the parent company without prior approval of the applicable regulatory agencies. Arkansas bank regulators have specified that the maximum dividend limit state banks may pay to the parent company without prior approval is 75% of the current year earnings plus 75% of the retained net earnings of the preceding year. Since the Bank is also under supervision of the Federal Reserve, it is further limited if the total of all dividends declared in any calendar year by the Bank exceeds the Bank’s net profits to date for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two years. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company requested approximately $85.6 million in regular dividends from its banking subsidiary.

The Company’s banking subsidiary is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Furthermore, the Company’s regulators could require adjustments to regulatory capital not reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total, Tier 1 common equity Tier 1 ("CET1") and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes that, as of March 31, 2026, the Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

Basel III became effective for the Company and its bank subsidiary on January 1, 2015. Basel III amended the prompt corrective action rules to incorporate a CET1 requirement and to raise the capital requirements for certain capital categories. In order to be adequately capitalized for purposes of the prompt corrective action rules, a banking organization is required to have at least a 4.5% CET1 risk-based capital ratio, a 4% Tier 1 leverage capital ratio, a 6% Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and an 8% total risk-based capital ratio.

The Federal Reserve Board’s risk-based capital guidelines include the definitions for (1) a well-capitalized institution, (2) an adequately-capitalized institution, and (3) an undercapitalized institution. Under Basel III, the criteria for a well-capitalized institution are: a 6.5% CET1 risk-based capital ratio, a 5% Tier 1 leverage capital ratio, an 8% Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and a 10% total risk-based capital ratio. As of March 31, 2026, the Bank met the capital standards for a well-capitalized institution. The Company’s CET1 risk-based capital ratio, Tier 1 leverage capital ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and total risk-based capital ratio were 16.70%, 14.30%, 16.70%, and 19.46%, respectively, as of March 31, 2026.

20. Financial Instruments

Fair value is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:


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

Level 2			Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities

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

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Transfers of financial instruments between levels within the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the date management determines that the underlying circumstances or assumptions have changed.

Available-for-sale securities – Available-for-sale securities are the only material instruments valued on a recurring basis which are held by the Company at fair value. The Company's available-for-sale securities are primarily considered to be Level 2 securities. The Level 2 securities consist primarily of U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, mortgage-backed securities plus state and political subdivisions. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. There were no material transfers between hierarchy levels during the period ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The Company reviews the prices supplied by the independent pricing service, as well as their underlying pricing methodologies, for reasonableness and to ensure such prices are aligned with traditional pricing matrices. In general, the Company does not purchase investment portfolio securities with complicated structures. Pricing for the Company’s investment securities is fairly generic and is easily obtained. The Company uses a third-party comparison pricing vendor in order to reflect consistency in the fair values of the investment securities sampled by the Company each quarter. See footnote 3 for further detail related to the fair value of the Company's available-for-sale investment portfolio.

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include the following:

Individually Evaluated Loans – Individually evaluated loans are the only material financial assets valued on a non-recurring basis which are held by the Company at fair value. When the Company has a specific expectation to initiate, or has initiated, foreclosure proceedings, and when the repayment of a loan is expected to be substantially dependent upon the liquidation of the underlying collateral, the loan relationship is considered to be collateral dependent. Fair value of the loan is determined by establishing an allowance for credit loss for any exposure based on the valuation of the underlying collateral. The valuation of the collateral is determined by either an independent third-party appraisal or other collateral analysis. Discounts can be made by the Company based upon the overall evaluation of the independent appraisal. Collateral-dependent loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the unobservable inputs used in determining their fair value such as collateral values and the borrower’s underlying financial condition. Collateral values supporting the individually assessed loans are evaluated quarterly for updates to appraised values or adjustments due to non-current valuations. The Company reversed $2.3 million and $857,000 of accrued interest receivable when impaired loans were put on non-accrual status during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Foreclosed assets held for sale – Foreclosed assets held for sale are the only material non-financial assets valued on a non-recurring basis which are held by the Company at fair value, less estimated costs to sell. At foreclosure, if the fair value, less estimated costs to sell, of the real estate acquired is less than the Company’s recorded investment in the related loan, a write-down is recognized through a charge to the allowance for credit losses. Additionally, valuations are periodically performed by management and any subsequent reduction in value is recognized by a charge to income. Regulatory guidelines require the Company to reevaluate the fair value of foreclosed assets held for sale on at least an annual basis. The Company’s policy is to comply with the regulatory guidelines.

The following table presents the Company's assets by level within the fair value hierarchy that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the periods ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (in thousands):


			Fair Value Measurements
	Fair Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
March 31, 2026	(in thousands)
Individually evaluated loans (collateral-dependent)(1)(2)	$	189,630	$	—	$	—	$	189,630

December 31, 2025
Individually evaluated loans (collateral-dependent)(1)(2)	$	186,484	$	—	$	—	$	186,484

(1) These amounts represent the resulting carrying amounts on the consolidated balance sheets for collateral-dependent loans and foreclosed assets and other real estate owned for which fair value re-measurements took place during the period.

(2) Specific reserves of $17.1 million and $17.0 million were related to collateral-dependent loans for which fair value re-measurements took place during the periods ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

The significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs used in the fair value measurement of collateral for collateral-dependent impaired loans and foreclosed assets primarily relate to customized discounting criteria applied to the customer’s reported amount of collateral. The amount of the collateral discount depends upon the condition and marketability of the underlying collateral. As the Company’s primary objective in the event of default would be to monetize the collateral to settle the outstanding balance of the loan, less marketable collateral would receive a larger discount. During the reported periods, collateral discounts ranged from approximately 10% to 50%.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments not previously disclosed:

Cash and cash equivalents and federal funds sold – For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment securities - held-to-maturity securities – These securities consist primarily of U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, mortgage-backed securities plus state and political subdivisions. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.

Loans receivable, net of impaired loans and allowance – For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are assumed to approximate the carrying amounts. The fair values for fixed-rate loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Loan fair value estimates include judgments regarding future expected loss experience and risk characteristics. Fair values for acquired loans are based on a discounted cash flow methodology that considers factors including the type of loan and related collateral, classification status, fixed or variable interest rate, term of loan, current discount rates and whether or not the loan is amortizing. Loans are grouped together according to similar characteristics and are treated in the aggregate when applying various valuation techniques. The discount rates used for loans are based on current market rates for new originations of comparable loans and include adjustments for liquidity concerns. The discount rate does not include a factor for credit losses as that has been included in the estimated cash flows.

Accrued interest receivable and payable – The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximates fair value.

FHLB, FRB & FNBB stock; other equity investments; marketable equity securities – The carrying amount of these investments approximate fair value.

Deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase – The fair values of demand deposits, savings deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand and, therefore, approximate their carrying amounts. The fair values for time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that utilizes interest rates currently being offered on time deposits with similar contractual maturities.

FHLB and other borrowed funds – For short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on the current rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Table of Contents

Subordinated debentures – The fair value of subordinated debentures is estimated using the rates that would be charged for subordinated debentures of similar remaining maturities.

Commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and lines of credit – The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair values of letters of credit and lines of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. The fair value of these commitments is not material and are therefore, omitted from this disclosure.

The following table presents the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments. Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

21. Segment Information

The Company has one reportable segment: The Banking Segment. The Company's reportable segment is determined by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who is the designated chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), based upon information provided about the Company's products and services offered, primarily banking operations. The segment is also defined by the level of detailed information provided to the CODM, who uses such information to review performance of various components of the business such as geographical regions and branches, which are then aggregated since these have similar operating and economic characteristics. Each of the branches and regions of the Bank provide a group of similar banking services, including such products and services as commercial, real estate and consumer loans, time deposits, checking and savings accounts.

The CODM will evaluate the financial performance of the Company's business components such as evaluating revenue streams, significant expenses and budget to actual results in order to assess the Company's segment and to determine the allocation of resources. The CODM uses revenue streams to evaluate product pricing and significant expenses to assess performance and evaluate return on assets. The CODM uses consolidated net income in order to benchmark the Company against its competitors. The benchmarking analysis coupled with monitoring of budget to actual results are used in assessment performance and in establishing compensation. Loans, investments and deposits provide the revenues in the banking operation. Interest expense, provision for credit losses and payroll provide the significant expenses in the banking operation. All operations are domestic.

Accounting policies for segments are the same as those described in Note 1. Segment performance is evaluated using consolidated net income. The table below presents the information reported internally for performance assessment by the CODM as of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

22. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." The amendments require that public business entities on an annual basis (a) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (b) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income [or loss] by the applicable statutory income tax rate). The amendments also require that all entities disclose on an annual basis the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes, and the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). The amendments require that all entities disclose income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign. The ASU is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company implemented the guidance beginning with the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company adopted the guidance effective December 31, 2025, and its adoption did not have a significant impact on our financial position or financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses." The ASU requires footnote disclosure about specific expenses by requiring companies to disaggregate, in a tabular presentation, each relevant expense caption on the face of the income statement that includes any of the following natural expenses: (i) purchases of inventory, (ii) employee compensation, (iii) depreciation, (iv) intangible asset amortization and (v) depreciation, depletion and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities. The tabular disclosure would also include certain other expenses, when applicable. The ASU does not change or remove existing expense disclosure requirements; however, it may affect where that information appears in the footnotes to the financial statements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impacts related to the adoption of the ASU.

In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date." The ASU revises the effective date to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Entities within the ASU's scope are permitted to early adopt the ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impacts related to the adoption of the ASU.

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-08, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans." The amendments in this Update apply to all entities subject to the guidance in Topic 326, including public business entities, private companies, and not-for-profit entities. The amendments in this Update expand the population of acquired financial assets subject to the gross-up approach in Topic 326. In accordance with the amendments in this Update, loans (excluding credit cards) acquired without credit deterioration and deemed “seasoned” (defined below) are purchased seasoned loans and accounted for using the gross-up approach at acquisition. Specifically, after an entity determines that a loan is a non-PCD asset based on its assessment of credit deterioration experienced since origination, the entity should apply the guidance described in the amendments to determine whether the loan is seasoned and, therefore, should be accounted for using the gross-up approach. All non-PCD loans (excluding credit cards) that are acquired in a business combination are deemed seasoned. Other non-PCD loans (excluding credit cards) are seasoned if they were purchased at least 90 days after origination and the acquirer was not involved in the origination of the loans. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively to loans that are acquired on or after the initial application date. Early adoption is permitted in an interim or annual reporting period in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim reporting period, it should apply the amendments as of the beginning of that interim reporting period or the beginning of the annual reporting period that includes that interim reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impacts related to the adoption of the ASU.

Table of Contents

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑11, "Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow‑Scope Improvements." The ASU clarifies the scope, form, content, and disclosure requirements applicable to interim financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The amendments are intended to improve the navigability of Topic 270 and clarify existing guidance without changing the fundamental nature of interim reporting or significantly expanding or reducing current interim disclosure requirements. The ASU confirms that interim financial statement form and content continue to be governed by applicable SEC rules (including Regulation S‑X, Rule 10‑01, as applicable), while enhancing Topic 270 by consolidating interim disclosure requirements from other Codification Topics and introducing a disclosure principle requiring registrants to disclose material events or changes occurring since the end of the most recent annual reporting period. ASU 2025‑11 is effective for interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its interim financial statement disclosures.

23. Subsequent Events

On April 1, 2026, the Company completed its acquisition of MCBI and its bank subsidiary, MCB. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, in a series of integrated transactions each effective April 1, 2026, the Company’s Acquisition Sub merged with and into MCBI and MCBI merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving entity. MCB also merged with and into Centennial, with Centennial as the surviving entity.

Under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of common stock of MCBI was converted into the right to receive, without interest, 0.85 shares of Company common stock (the “Merger Consideration”). Each unvested restricted share of MCBI common stock outstanding at the Effective Time became fully vested and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company issued approximately 5.4 million shares of its common stock valued at approximately $146 million as of April 1, 2026. No cash consideration was paid in connection with the Merger, except for cash paid in lieu of fractional shares of Home common stock equal to $26.77 multiplied by any resulting fractional shares.

Prior to the acquisition, MCBI conducted business from 8 branches in communities across the Knoxville, Nashville and Johnson City, Tennessee metropolitan statistical areas. As of December 31, 2025, MCBI had approximately $1.77 billion in total assets, $1.49 billion in loans, and $1.55 billion in deposits.

The purchase price allocation and certain fair value measurements remain preliminary due to the timing of the Merger. Due to the recent closing, management remains in the early stages of reviewing the estimated fair values and evaluating the assumed tax positions of this Merger. The Company expects to finalize its analysis of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities in this transaction within one year of the Merger.

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Home BancShares Inc. (“the Company”) and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2026, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financial information”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the interim financial information referred to above for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2025, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 27, 2026, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Item 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2026, which includes the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms "Company," "us," "we," and "our" refer to Home BancShares, Inc. on a consolidated basis.

General

We are a bank holding company headquartered in Conway, Arkansas, offering a broad array of financial services through our wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Centennial Bank (sometimes referred to as "Centennial" or the "Bank"). As of March 31, 2026, we had, on a consolidated basis, total assets of $23.20 billion, loans receivable, net of allowance for credit losses, of $15.34 billion, total deposits of $17.74 billion, and stockholders’ equity of $4.35 billion.

We generate the majority of our revenue from interest on loans and investments, service charges, and mortgage banking income. Deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") and other borrowed funds are our primary sources of funding. Our largest expenses are interest on our funding sources, salaries and related employee benefits and occupancy and equipment. We measure our performance by calculating our return on average common equity, return on average assets and net interest margin. We also measure our performance by our efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing non-interest expense less amortization of core deposit intangibles by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis and non-interest income. The efficiency ratio, as adjusted, is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated by dividing non-interest expense less amortization of core deposit intangibles by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis and non-interest income excluding adjustments such as merger and acquisition expenses and/or certain gains, losses and other non-interest income and expenses.

Overview

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025

Our net income increased $3.0 million, or 2.6%, to $118.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, from $115.2 million for the same period in 2025. On a diluted earnings per share basis, our earnings were $0.60 per share for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to $0.58 per share for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded $1.5 million in provision for credit losses on loans, and the Company recorded a $1.0 million recovery of credit losses on unfunded commitments. As a result, total credit loss expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 was $500,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded $1.7 million in income from an FDIC special assessment credit, $1.2 million in expense from the fair value adjustment for marketable securities and $394,000 in merger and acquisition expense.

Total interest expense decreased $10.8 million, or 11.0%. This was partially offset by a $2.6 million, or 5.8%, decrease in non-interest income, a $1.5 million, or 0.5%, decrease in total interest income and a $1.0 million, or 0.9%, increase in non-interest expense. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a $7.6 million, or 8.8%, decrease in interest on deposits, a $1.8 million, or 42.9%, decrease in interest on subordinated debentures, and a $1.2 million, or 20.5%, decrease in interest on FHLB and other borrowed funds. The decrease in non-interest income was primarily due to a $2.3 million, or 20.5%, decrease in other income, a $1.7 million, or 382.4%, decrease in fair value adjustment for marketable securities and an $879,000, or 8.2%, decrease in other service charges and fees, which was partially offset by a $1.1 million, or 288.0%, increase in gain (loss) on OREO. Included within March 31, 2025 other income was $3.9 million in special income from equity investments. The decrease in interest income resulted from a $2.5 million, or 7.2%, decrease in investment interest income and a $1.7 million, or 25.3%, decrease in interest income on deposits at other banks, which were partially offset by a $2.7 million, or 1.0%, increase in loan interest income. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to a $1.4 million, or 2.2%, increase in salaries and employee benefits expense, $442,000, or 3.1%, increase in occupancy and equipment expense, $394,000 in merger and acquisition expense in the first quarter of 2026 compared to none in the prior year period, and a $326,000, or 3.8%, increase in data processing expense. These expenses were partially offset by a $1.5 million, or 5.33%, decrease in other operating expenses. Included within other operating expenses was the $1.7 million in FDIC special assessment credits.

Our net interest margin increased from 4.44% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 to 4.51% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. The yield on interest earning assets decreased from 6.45% for the three-months ended March 31, 2025 to 6.25% for the three-months ended March 31, 2026, and average interest earning assets increased from $19.83 billion to $20.35 billion. The increase in average interest earning assets is primarily due to a $786.7 million increase in average loans receivable, partially offset by a $203.5 million decrease in average investment securities and a $54.5 million decrease in average interest-bearing balances due from banks. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recognized $1.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in total net accretion for acquired loans and deposits. We recognized no event income for the three-months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $1.3 million for the three-months ended March 31, 2025. The cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased from 2.76% for the three-months ended March 31, 2025 to 2.42% for the three-months ended March 31, 2026, and average interest-bearing liabilities increased from $14.40 billion to $14.60 billion. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities is primarily due to a $460.3 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits, which was partially offset by a $159.8 million decrease in average subordinated debentures and a $100.4 million decrease in FHLB and other borrowed funds. The reduction in subordinated debentures was due to the Company completing the payoff of its $140.0 million 5.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030 and the Company also repurchasing $20.0 million of its $300.0 million Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2032 during the third quarter of 2025. The two payoff events were accretive to the net interest margin by approximately four basis points. The overall increase in the net interest margin was due to an increase in interest income resulting from the increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets and a decrease in interest expense resulting from a decrease in interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which were partially offset by a decrease in interest income due to a reduction in asset yields and an increase in interest expense resulting from an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities.

Our efficiency ratio was 41.59% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 42.22% for the same period in 2025. For the first quarter of 2026, our efficiency ratio, as adjusted (non-GAAP), was 41.99%, compared to 42.84% reported for the first quarter of 2025. (See Table 29 for the non-GAAP tabular reconciliation).

Our annualized return on average assets was 2.09% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 2.07% for the same period in 2025. (See Table 26 for the related non-GAAP financial measures and tabular reconciliation). Our annualized return on average common equity was 11.09% and 11.75% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. (See Table 27 for the related non-GAAP financial measures and tabular reconciliation).

Table of Contents

Financial Condition as of and for the Period Ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025

Our total assets, as of March 31, 2026, increased $319.8 million to $23.20 billion from $22.88 billion reported as of December 31, 2025. Cash and cash equivalents increased $444.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Our loan portfolio balance decreased to $15.63 billion, as of March 31, 2026, from $15.69 billion at December 31, 2025. The decrease in loans was primarily due to $100.5 million of organic loan decline in our community banking footprint, which was partially offset by $47.9 million of loan growth from our Centennial Commercial Finance Group ("Centennial CFG") franchise. Investment securities decreased by $70.7 million resulting from paydowns and maturities during the first three months of 2026. Total deposits increased $258.3 million to $17.74 billion as of March 31, 2026 from $17.48 billion as of December 31, 2025. Stockholders’ equity increased $52.7 million to $4.35 billion as of March 31, 2026, compared to $4.30 billion as of December 31, 2025. The $52.7 million increase in stockholders’ equity is primarily associated with the $118.2 million in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, partially offset by the $13.5 million in other comprehensive loss, the $41.3 million in shareholder dividends paid and stock repurchases of $13.9 million.

Our non-performing loans were $182.1 million, or 1.16% of total loans as of March 31, 2026, compared to $85.0 million, or 0.54% of total loans, as of December 31, 2025. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of non-performing loans decreased to 163.43% as of March 31, 2026, from 350.17% as of December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, our non-performing assets increased to $224.1 million, or 0.97% of total assets, from $124.8 million, or 0.55% of total assets, as of December 31, 2025. The increase in non-performing loans and assets was primarily due to one loan relationship with a balance of $92.1 million being placed on non-accrual status during the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Overview. We prepare our consolidated financial statements based on the selection of certain accounting policies, generally accepted accounting principles and customary practices in the banking industry. These policies, in certain areas, require us to make significant estimates and assumptions. Our accounting policies are described in detail in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included as part of this document.

We consider a policy critical if (i) the accounting estimate requires assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time of the accounting estimate; and (ii) different estimates that could reasonably have been used in the current period, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, would have a material impact on our financial statements. Using these criteria, we believe that the accounting policies most critical to us are those associated with our lending practices, including the accounting for the allowance for credit losses, foreclosed assets, investments, intangible assets, income taxes and stock options.

Credit Losses. We account for credit losses in accordance with ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASC 326" or "CECL"). The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Topic 842 on leases.

Investments – Available-for-sale. Securities available-for-sale ("AFS") are reported at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes. Securities that are held as available-for-sale are used as a part of our asset/liability management strategy. Securities that may be sold in response to interest rate changes, changes in prepayment risk, the need to increase regulatory capital, and other similar factors are classified as available-for-sale. The Company evaluates all securities quarterly to determine if any securities in a loss position require a provision for credit losses in accordance with ASC 326. The Company first assesses whether it intends to sell or is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For securities that do not meet these criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, and changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company has made the election to exclude accrued interest receivable on AFS securities from the estimate of credit losses and report accrued interest separately on the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.

Table of Contents

Investments – Held-to-Maturity. Debt securities held-to-maturity ("HTM"), which include any security for which we have the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity, are reported at historical cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted to the call date to interest income using the constant effective yield method over the estimated life of the security. The Company evaluates all securities quarterly to determine if any securities in a loss position require a provision for credit losses in accordance with ASC 326. The Company measures expected credit losses on HTM securities on a collective basis by major security type, with each type sharing similar risk characteristics. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company has made the election to exclude accrued interest receivable on HTM securities from the estimate of credit losses and report accrued interest separately on the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a security is confirmed.

Loans Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses. Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding principal balance adjusted for any charge-offs, deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income on loans is accrued over the term of the loans based on the principal balance outstanding. Loan origination fees and direct origination costs are capitalized and recognized as adjustments to yield on the related loans.

The allowance for credit losses is measured based on call report segment as these types of loans exhibit similar risk characteristics. The identified loan segments are as follows:

•1-4 family residential construction loans

•Other construction loans and all land development and other land loans

•Loans secured by farmland (including farm residential and other improvements)

•Revolving, open-end loans secured by 1-4 family residential properties and extended under lines

•Secured by first liens

•Secured by junior liens

•Secured by multifamily (5 or more) residential properties

•Loans secured by owner-occupied, nonfarm nonresidential properties

•Loans secured by other nonfarm nonresidential properties

•Loans to finance agricultural production and other loans to farmers

Table of Contents

•Commercial and industrial loans

•Other revolving credit plans

•Automobile loans

•Other consumer loans

•Other consumer loans - Shore Premier Finance

•Obligations (other than securities and leases) of states and political subdivisions in the US

•Loans to nondepository financial institutions

•Loans for purchasing or carrying securities

•All other loans

•Leases

•Management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that restructured loans made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty will be executed with an individual borrower.

•The extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company.

Table of Contents

Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures. The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for or reversal of 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 its estimated life.

Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale. Real estate and personal property acquired through or in lieu of loan foreclosure are to be sold and are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Valuations are periodically performed by management, and the real estate and personal property are carried at fair value less costs to sell. Gains and losses from the sale of other real estate and personal property are recorded in non-interest income, and expenses used to maintain the properties are included in non-interest expenses.

Intangible Assets. Intangible assets consist of goodwill and core deposit intangibles. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business acquisitions. The core deposit intangible represents the excess intangible value of acquired deposit customer relationships as determined by valuation specialists. The core deposit intangibles are being amortized over 48 months to 120 months on a straight-line basis. Goodwill is not amortized but rather is evaluated for impairment on at least an annual basis. We perform an annual impairment test of goodwill and core deposit intangibles as required by FASB ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, in the fourth quarter or more often if events and circumstances indicate there may be an impairment.

Income Taxes. We account for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance (ASC 740, Income Taxes). The income tax accounting guidance results in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. We determine deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur.

Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term "more likely than not" means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms "examined" and "upon examination" also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date and is subject to the management’s judgment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Both we and our subsidiary file consolidated tax returns. Our subsidiary provides for income taxes on a separate return basis, and remits to us amounts determined to be currently payable.

Table of Contents

Stock Compensation. In accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, and FASB ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, the fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant. We recognize compensation expense for the grant-date fair value of the option award over the vesting period of the award.

Branches

As opportunities arise, we will continue to open new (commonly referred to as de novo) branches in our current markets and in other attractive market areas.

As of March 31, 2026, we had 218 branch locations. There were 75 branches in Arkansas, 78 branches in Florida, 59 branches in Texas, five branches in Alabama and one branch in New York City.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, our principal source of earnings, is the difference between the interest income generated by earning assets and the total interest cost of the deposits and borrowings obtained to fund those assets. Factors affecting the level of net interest income include the volume of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, yields earned on loans and investments, rates paid on deposits and other borrowings, the level of non-performing loans and the amount of non-interest-bearing liabilities supporting earning assets. Net interest income is analyzed in the discussion and tables below on a fully taxable equivalent basis. The adjustment to convert certain income to a fully taxable equivalent basis consists of dividing tax-exempt income by one minus the combined federal and state income tax rate (24.359% and 24.433% for 2026 and 2025, respectively).

The Federal Reserve Board sets various benchmark rates, including the Federal Funds rate, and thereby influences the general market rates of interest, including the deposit and loan rates offered by financial institutions. The Federal Reserve reduced the target rate three times during 2025. First, on September 17, 2025, the Federal Reserve reduced the target rate to 4.00% to 4.25%, second, on October 29, 2025, the target rate was reduced to 3.75% to 4.00% and third, on December 10, 2025, the target rate was reduced to 3.50% to 3.75%. The Federal Reserve has not changed the target rate during 2026.

Table of Contents

Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis increased $9.4 million, or 4.3%, to $226.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, from $217.2 million for the same period in 2025. This increase in net interest income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 was the result of a $10.8 million decrease in interest expense, which was partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis. The $10.8 million decrease in interest expense is primarily the result of the lower interest rate environment. The lower rates on interest bearing liabilities resulted in a decrease in interest expense of approximately $11.1 million, partially offset by an increase in average interest bearing liabilities which increased interest expense by approximately $347,000. The $1.4 million decrease in interest income was also primarily the result of the lower interest rate environment. The lower yield on earning assets resulted in a decrease in interest income of approximately $13.1 million, which was partially offset by an increase of $11.7 million in interest income due to the change in average interest earning asset balances.

Tables 2 and 3 reflect an analysis of net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, as well as changes in the fully taxable equivalent net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.

Provision for Credit Losses

Credit Loss Expense: During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded $1.5 million in provision for credit losses on loans, and the Company recorded a $1.0 million recovery of credit losses on unfunded commitments. As a result, total credit loss expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 was $500,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company determined no allowance for credit losses on the available-for-sale portfolio was necessary. The Company also determined the $2.0 million allowance for credit losses on the held-to-maturity portfolio was adequate. Therefore, no provision was considered necessary for either portfolio.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company did not record a provision for credit losses on loans primarily due to the $4.1 million in net recoveries experienced during the quarter. After considering the recoveries, management determined the level of the allowance for credit losses on loans was adequate. In addition, management determined that a provision was not necessary for the unfunded commitments as the current level of the reserve was considered adequate. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company determined the $2.2 million allowance for credit losses on the available for sale portfolio and the $2.0 million allowance for credit losses on the held-to-maturity portfolio was adequate. Therefore, no additional provision was considered necessary.

Net charge-offs (recoveries) to average total loans were 0.04% and (0.11)% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Non-Interest Income

Total non-interest income was $42.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $45.4 million for the same period in 2025. Our recurring non-interest income includes service charges on deposit accounts, other service charges and fees, trust fees, mortgage lending income, insurance commissions, increase in cash value of life insurance, fair value adjustment for marketable securities and dividends.

Total non-interest income	$	42,803	$	45,426	$	(2,623)	(5.8)	%

Non-interest income decreased $2.6 million, or 5.8%, to $42.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $45.4 million for the same period in 2025. The primary factors in this decrease were the decreases in other service charges and fees, fair value adjustment for marketable securities and other income, which were partially offset by the increases in trust fees, mortgage lending income and the gain on OREO, net.

Additional details for the three months ended March 31, 2026 on some of the more significant changes are as follows:

•The $879,000 decrease in other service charges and fees is primarily related to a decrease in Centennial CFG property finance loan fees.

•The $722,000 increase in trust fees is primarily due to an increase in personal trust and IRA fees.

•The $831,000 increase in mortgage lending income is primarily due to an increase in volume of secondary market loans.

•The $1.1 million increase in gain on OREO, net is primarily due to the gain on the sale of a building from our Florida region in 2026 and the loss on the sale of a building from our Florida region during 2025.

•The $1.7 million decrease in the fair value adjustment for marketable securities is due to market fluctuations.

•The $2.3 million decrease in other income is primarily due to a $3.6 million decrease in income from the fair value of equity securities and a $923,000 decrease in recoveries on historic losses, partially offset by a $1.9 million increase in miscellaneous income primarily from various tax refunds.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense consists of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing, merger and acquisition and other expenses such as advertising, amortization of intangibles, electronic banking expense, FDIC and state assessment, insurance, legal and accounting fees, other professional fees and other expenses.

Total non-interest expense	$	113,975	$	112,928	$	1,047	0.9	%

Non-interest expense increased $1.0 million, or 0.9%, to $114.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $112.9 million for the same period in 2025. The primary factors that resulted in this increase were the increases in salaries and employee benefits and in other expenses, which were partially offset by the decreases in FDIC and state assessment expense and legal and accounting expense.

Additional details for the three months ended March 31, 2026 on some of the more significant changes are as follows:

•The $1.4 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense is primarily due to an increase in incentive compensation as a result of an increase in revenue for the Company combined with the additional costs of doing business, partially offset by a decrease in deferred loan costs.

•The $1.8 million decrease in FDIC and state assessment expense is primarily due to a re-evaluation of our liability after Silicon Valley and Signature Bank failures which resulted in a $1.7 million special assessment credit.

•The $2.7 million decrease in legal and accounting expense is primarily due to legal matters which occurred during 2025.

•The $2.4 million increase in other expense is primarily due to increases in OREO expense, collection expense, GoldStar Trust storage fees and reimbursable loan fees.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense increased $2.1 million, or 6.5%, to $34.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, from $31.9 million for the same period in 2025. The effective income tax rate was 22.35% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 21.71% for the same period in 2025. The marginal tax rate was 24.359% and 24.433% for 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Financial Condition as of and for the Period Ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025

Our total assets, as of March 31, 2026, increased $319.8 million to $23.20 billion from $22.88 billion reported as of December 31, 2025. Cash and cash equivalents increased $444.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Our loan portfolio balance decreased to $15.63 billion, as of March 31, 2026, from $15.69 billion at December 31, 2025. The decrease in loans was primarily due to $100.5 million of organic loan decline in our community banking footprint, which was partially offset by $47.9 million of loan growth from our Centennial CFG franchise. Investment securities decreased by $70.7 million resulting from paydowns and maturities during the first three months of 2026. Total deposits increased $258.3 million to $17.74 billion as of March 31, 2026 from $17.48 billion as of December 31, 2025. Stockholders’ equity increased $52.7 million to $4.35 billion as of March 31, 2026, compared to $4.30 billion as of December 31, 2025. The $52.7 million increase in stockholders’ equity is primarily associated with the $118.2 million in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, partially offset by the $13.5 million in other comprehensive loss, the $41.3 million in shareholder dividends paid and stock repurchases of $13.9 million.

Loan Portfolio

Loans Receivable

Our loan portfolio averaged $15.68 billion and $14.89 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Loans receivable were $15.63 billion and $15.69 billion as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

From December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026, the Company experienced a decline of approximately $52.6 million in loans. The decrease in loans was due to $100.5 million of organic loan decline in our community banking footprint partially offset by $47.9 million of loan growth from our Centennial CFG franchise.

The most significant components of the loan portfolio were commercial real estate, residential real estate, consumer and commercial and industrial loans. These loans are generally secured by residential or commercial real estate or business or personal property. Although these loans are primarily originated within our franchises in Arkansas, Florida, Texas, Alabama and Centennial CFG, the property securing these loans may not physically be located within our market areas of Arkansas, Florida, Texas, Alabama and New York. Loans receivable were approximately $3.74 billion, $4.47 billion, $3.89 billion, $102.4 million, $1.37 billion and $2.06 billion as of March 31, 2026 in Arkansas, Florida, Texas, Alabama, SPF and Centennial CFG, respectively.

Commercial Real Estate Loans. We originate non-farm and non-residential loans (primarily secured by commercial real estate), construction/land development loans, and agricultural loans, which are generally secured by real estate located in our market areas. Our commercial mortgage loans are generally collateralized by first liens on real estate and amortized (where defined) over a 15 to 30-year period with balloon payments due at the end of one to five years. These loans are generally underwritten by assessing cash flow (debt service coverage), primary and secondary source of repayment, the financial strength of the borrower as well as any guarantors, the strength of the tenant (if any), the borrower’s liquidity and leverage, management experience, ownership structure, economic conditions and industry specific trends and collateral. Generally, we will loan up to 85% of the value of improved property, 65% of the value of raw land and 75% of the value of land to be acquired and developed. A first lien on the property and assignment of lease is required if the collateral is rental property, with second lien positions considered on a case-by-case basis.

As of March 31, 2026, commercial real estate ("CRE") loans totaled $8.33 billion, or 53.3%, of loans receivable, as compared to $8.35 billion, or 53.2%, of loans receivable, as of December 31, 2025. CRE loans originated in our Arkansas, Florida, Texas, Alabama, SPF and Centennial CFG markets were $2.25 billion, $2.65 billion, $1.93 billion, $50.7 million, zero and $1.45 billion at March 31, 2026, respectively.

As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately $1.21 billion of construction/land development loans which were collateralized by land. This consisted of approximately $40.8 million for raw land and approximately $1.17 billion for land with commercial and/or residential lots.

Our loan policy states that in order to achieve a well-balanced, diversified credit portfolio, concentrations containing inappropriate or excessive risk are to be avoided. It is the goal of the Company to maintain a prudent diversification of loans. We define a concentration of credit as direct or indirect obligations according to the following guidelines: (i) concentrations of 25% or more of total risk-based capital by individual borrower, small, interrelated group of individuals, single repayment source or individual project; (ii) concentrations of 100% or more of total risk-based capital by industry or product line. As of March 31, 2026, we have not met the threshold for the concentration limits. In addition, the Bank's Board of Directors monitors the CRE loan portfolio for concentrations related to geography, industry, and collateral type and determines applicable guidelines. The Chief Lending Officer also reviews the portfolio periodically to determine if any concentrations exist and makes recommendations with respect to setting internal guidelines.

The Company also monitors key risk indicators ("KRIs") on a quarterly basis for the overall loan portfolio as well as specific KRIs for the CRE portfolio. The KRIs are tied to the Bank's appetite for credit risk which is reflected in the Bank's credit policy and underwriting criteria. The KRIs related to underwriting include loan downgrades by loan review, loan downgrades to classified levels and loan policy exceptions (loan to value, debt coverage ratio and credit score). The KRIs related to CRE loans include concentrations of construction and land loans, concentrations of total CRE loans, CRE loans in excess of loan to value guidelines and total real estate loans in excess of loan to value guidelines. The results of the KRI analysis are presented to the Bank's Asset Quality Committee on a quarterly basis. Any exceptions to established limits and thresholds are monitored and addressed in a timely manner as required by the Asset Quality Committee.

The Company has a CRE strategy and contingency plan which outlines the principles required to adequately manage our CRE exposures. It discusses the inherent risks within CRE lending, as well as the risks unique to specific lending activities and property taxes. In addition, the plan outlines internal limits related to CRE lending, reasoning for operating outside those limits, and provides for a contingency plan to reduce the CRE exposures under adverse economic conditions or other situations where it is deemed necessary to do so. The responsibility for monitoring the CRE Strategy and Contingency Plan, and subsequent reporting to management and the Board of Directors lies with the Chief Lending Officer and the Asset Quality Committee of the Board of Directors. Within the CRE Strategy and Contingency Plan, we established four adverse economic triggers to measure on an ongoing basis to attempt to determine when a change in CRE strategy might be warranted, at least from an external economic perspective. If one or a combination of these triggers have exceeded Board approved thresholds, the Executive Risk Committee will determine which action or combination of actions, if any, to take based on the specific situation. If utilized, the required actions are likely to focus on tightening/loosening of underwriting criteria, potential capital raises or loan distribution actions such as selling or participating loans. However, other action steps may be considered necessary depending upon the specific situation. As of March 31, 2026, the Company believes our current underwriting standards and capital position remain adequate for addressing the risks to our CRE portfolio.

Residential Real Estate Loans. We originate one to four family, residential mortgage loans generally secured by property located in our primary market areas. Approximately 58.1% and 34.4% of our residential mortgage loans consist of owner occupied 1-4 family properties and non-owner occupied 1-4 family properties (rental), respectively, as of March 31, 2026, with the remaining 7.5% relating to condominiums and mobile homes. Residential real estate loans generally have a loan-to-value ratio of up to 90%. These loans are underwritten by giving consideration to the borrower’s ability to pay, stability of employment or source of income, debt-to-income ratio, credit history and loan-to-value ratio.

As of March 31, 2026, residential real estate loans totaled $3.33 billion, or 21.3%, of loans receivable, compared to $3.28 billion, or 20.9%, of loans receivable, as of December 31, 2025. Residential real estate loans originated in our Arkansas, Florida, Texas, Alabama, SPF and Centennial CFG markets were $732.0 million, $1.20 billion, $866.6 million, $39.7 million, zero and $494.2 million at March 31, 2026, respectively.

Consumer Loans. Our consumer loans are composed of secured and unsecured loans originated by our bank, the primary portion of which consists of loans to finance United States Coast Guard registered high-end sail and power boats within our SPF division. The performance of consumer loans will be affected by the local and regional economies as well as the rates of personal bankruptcies, job loss, divorce and other individual changes in circumstance.

Consumer loans totaled $1.25 billion, or 8.0%, of loans receivable at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Consumer loans originated in our Arkansas, Florida, Texas, Alabama, SPF and Centennial CFG markets were $17.3 million, $6.0 million, $7.8 million, $400,000, $1.22 billion and zero at March 31, 2026, respectively.

Commercial and Industrial Loans. Commercial and industrial loans are made for a variety of business purposes, including working capital, inventory, equipment and capital expansion. The terms for commercial loans are generally one to seven years. Commercial loan applications must be supported by current financial information of the borrower and, where appropriate, by adequate collateral. Commercial loans are generally underwritten by addressing cash flow (debt service coverage), primary and secondary sources of repayment, the financial strength of the borrower as well as any guarantors, the borrower’s liquidity and leverage, management experience, ownership structure, economic conditions and industry specific trends and collateral. The loan to value ratio depends on the type of collateral. Generally, accounts receivable are financed at between 50% and 80% of accounts receivable less than 60 days past due. Inventory financing will range between 50% and 80% (with no work in process) depending on the borrower and nature of inventory. We require a first lien position for those loans.

As of March 31, 2026, commercial and industrial loans totaled $2.17 billion, or 13.9%, of loans receivable, compared to $2.22 billion, or 14.2%, of loans receivable, as of December 31, 2025. Commercial and industrial loans originated in our Arkansas, Florida, Texas, Alabama, SPF and Centennial CFG markets were $525.2 million, $585.1 million, $809.0 million, $11.6 million, $148.3 million and $93.1 million at March 31, 2026, respectively.

Non-Performing Assets

We classify our problem loans into three categories: past due loans, special mention loans and classified loans (accruing and non-accruing).

When management determines that a loan is no longer performing, and that collection of interest appears doubtful, the loan is placed on non-accrual status. Loans that are 90 days past due are placed on non-accrual status unless they are adequately secured and there is reasonable assurance of full collection of both principal and interest. Our management closely monitors all loans that are contractually 90 days past due, treated as "special mention" or otherwise classified or on non-accrual status.

Purchased loans that have experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination are PCD loans. An allowance for credit losses is determined using the same methodology as other loans. The Company develops separate PCD models for each loan segment with PCD loans not individually analyzed for credit losses. The sum of the loan’s purchase price and allowance for credit losses becomes its initial amortized cost basis. The difference between the initial amortized cost basis and the par value of the loan is a non-credit discount or premium, which is amortized into interest income over the life of the loan. Subsequent changes to the allowance for credit losses are recorded through the provision for credit losses. The Company held approximately $51.3 million and $52.2 million in PCD loans, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Table 11 sets forth information with respect to our non-performing assets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. As of these dates, all non-performing restructured loans are included in non-accrual loans.

Our non-performing loans are comprised of non-accrual loans and accruing loans that are contractually past due 90 days. Our bank subsidiary recognizes income principally on the accrual basis of accounting. When loans are classified as non-accrual, the accrued interest is charged off and no further interest is accrued, unless the credit characteristics of the loan improve. If a loan is determined by management to be uncollectible, the portion of the loan determined to be uncollectible is then charged to the allowance for credit losses.

Debt restructuring generally occurs when a borrower is experiencing, or is expected to experience, financial difficulties in the near term. As a result, we will work with the borrower to prevent further difficulties, and ultimately to improve the likelihood of recovery on the loan. In those circumstances it may be beneficial to restructure the terms of a loan and work with the borrower for the benefit of both parties, versus forcing the property into foreclosure and having to dispose of it in potentially an unfavorable and depressed real estate market. When we have modified the terms of a loan, we usually either reduce the monthly payment and/or interest rate for generally about three to twelve months. For our restructured loans that accrue interest at the time the loan is restructured, it would be a rare exception to have charged-off any portion of the loan. As of March 31, 2026, we had $4.7 million of restructured loans that are in compliance with the modified terms and are not reported as past due or non-accrual. Our Arkansas market contains $2.1 million, our Florida market contains $1.3 million and our Texas market contains $1.3 million of these restructured loans.

Table of Contents

A loan modification that might not otherwise be considered may be granted. These loans can involve loans remaining on non-accrual, moving to non-accrual, or continuing on an accrual status, depending on the individual facts and circumstances of the borrower. Generally, a non-accrual loan that is restructured remains on non-accrual for a period of three months to demonstrate that the borrower can meet the restructured terms. However, performance prior to the restructuring, or significant events that coincide with the restructuring, are considered in assessing whether the borrower can pay under the new terms and may result in the loan being returned to an accrual status after a shorter performance period. If the borrower’s ability to meet the revised payment schedule is not reasonably assured, the loan will remain in a non-accrual status.

The Company had $220.3 million and $219.4 million in impaired loans (which includes loans individually analyzed for credit losses for which a specific reserve has been recorded, non-accrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and restructured loans made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty) for the periods ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, our Arkansas, Florida, Texas, Alabama, SPF and Centennial CFG markets accounted for approximately $27.6 million, $28.2 million, $151.6 million, $23,000, $12.1 million and $787,000 of the impaired loans, respectively.

Total foreclosed assets held for sale were $40.9 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $39.8 million as of December 31, 2025, for an increase of $1.0 million. The foreclosed assets held for sale as of March 31, 2026 are comprised of $1.6 million located in Arkansas, $260,000 located in Florida, $16.2 million located in Texas, zero in Alabama, zero in SPF and $22.8 million in Centennial CFG. The majority of the foreclosed assets held for sale is comprised of two properties. The first is an office building located in Santa Monica, California with a carrying value of $22.8 million. The second is an apartment complex in Gunter, Texas with a carrying value of $15.0 million. These two properties account for $37.8 million of the balance of foreclosed assets held for sale at March 31, 2026.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Overview. The allowance for credit losses on loans receivable was $297.6 million at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The specific reserve for loans individually analyzed for credit losses was $17.1 million on $189.6 million of individually analyzed loans as of March 31, 2026, compared to a specific reserve of $17.0 million on $186.5 million of individually analyzed loans as of December 31, 2025. The amortized cost balance for loans with a specific allocation decreased from $71.3 million to $71.1 million from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans was 1.90% at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Loans Collectively Evaluated for Credit Loss. Loans receivable collectively evaluated for credit loss decreased by approximately $55.7 million from $15.50 billion at December 31, 2025 to $15.44 billion at March 31, 2026. The percentage of the allowance for credit losses allocated to loans receivable collectively evaluated for credit loss to the total loans collectively evaluated for credit loss was 1.82% and 1.81% at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company implemented updated allowance for credit loss models as part of the annual model review and challenge process. The allowance calculation called for a higher level of reserves for the CRE portfolio and a corresponding reduction in reserves for the commercial and industrial portfolio as well as the consumer portfolio.

Investment Securities

Our securities portfolio is the second largest component of earning assets and provides a significant source of revenue. Securities within the portfolio are classified as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading based on the intent and objective of the investment and the ability to hold to maturity. Fair values of securities are based on quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, estimated fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities. The estimated effective duration of our securities portfolio was 4.8 years as of March 31, 2026.

Securities held-to-maturity, which include any security for which we have the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity, are reported at historical cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted to the call date to interest income using the constant effective yield method over the estimated life of the security. We had $1.26 billion of held-to-maturity securities at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The detail of the held-to-maturity portfolio by carrying amount and percentage of the portfolio at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 can be seen below.

Securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity as other comprehensive (loss) income. Securities that may be sold in response to interest rate changes, changes in prepayment risk, the need to increase regulatory capital, and other similar factors are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities were $2.80 billion and $2.87 billion as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The detail of the available-for-sale portfolio by estimated fair value and percentage of the portfolio at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 can be seen below.

Deposits

Our deposits averaged $17.52 billion and $17.19 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Total deposits were $17.74 billion as of March 31, 2026, and $17.48 billion as of December 31, 2025. Deposits are our primary source of funds. We offer a variety of products designed to attract and retain deposit customers. Those products consist of checking accounts, regular savings deposits, NOW accounts, money market accounts and certificates of deposit. Deposits are gathered from individuals, partnerships and corporations in our market areas. In addition, we obtain deposits from state and local entities and, to a lesser extent, U.S. Government and other depository institutions.

Our policy also permits the acceptance of brokered deposits. From time to time, when appropriate in order to fund strong loan demand, we accept brokered time deposits, generally in denominations of less than $250,000, from a regional brokerage firm, and other national brokerage networks. We also participate in the One-Way Buy Insured Cash Sweep ("ICS") service and similar services, which provide for one-way buy transactions among banks for the purpose of purchasing cost-effective floating-rate funding without collateralization or stock purchase requirements. Management believes these sources represent a reliable and cost-efficient alternative funding source for the Company. However, to the extent that our condition or reputation deteriorates, or to the extent that there are significant changes in market interest rates which we do not elect to match, we may experience an outflow of brokered deposits. In that event we would be required to obtain alternate sources for funding.

Table 21 reflects the classification of the brokered deposits as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The interest rates paid are competitively priced for each particular deposit product and structured to meet our funding requirements. We will continue to manage interest expense through deposit pricing. We may allow higher rate deposits to run off during periods of limited loan demand. We believe that additional funds can be attracted, and deposit growth can be realized through deposit pricing if we experience increased loan demand or other liquidity needs.

Table 22 reflects the classification of the average deposits and the average rate paid on each deposit category, which are in excess of 10 percent of average total deposits, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

We enter into short-term purchases of securities under agreements to resell (resale agreements) and sales of securities under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements) of substantially identical securities. The amounts advanced under resale agreements and the amounts borrowed under repurchase agreements are carried on the balance sheet at the amount advanced. Interest incurred on repurchase agreements is reported as interest expense. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $1.6 million, or 1.0%, from $155.8 million as of December 31, 2025 to $157.4 million as of March 31, 2026.

FHLB and Other Borrowed Funds

Other borrowed funds were $250,000 at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. These were classified as short-term advances.

Table of Contents

Subordinated Debentures

Subordinated debentures were $279.4 million and $279.3 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

On September 4, 2025, the Company repurchased $20.0 million of the 2032 Notes in an open-market transaction. The repurchase resulted in a $1.9 million gain.

Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholders’ equity increased $52.7 million to $4.35 billion as of March 31, 2026, from $4.30 billion as of December 31, 2025. The $52.7 million increase in stockholders’ equity is primarily associated with the $118.2 million in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which was partially offset by the $13.5 million in other comprehensive loss, the $41.3 million in shareholder dividends paid and stock repurchases of $13.9 million in 2026. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our equity to asset ratio was 18.75% and 18.78%, respectively. Book value per share was $22.15 as of March 31, 2026, compared to $21.88 as of December 31, 2025, a 5.0% annualized increase.

Common Stock Cash Dividends. We declared cash dividends on our common stock of $0.21 and $0.195 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The common stock dividend payout ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was 34.93% and 33.64%, respectively. On April 16, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a regular $0.21 per share quarterly cash dividend payable June 3, 2026, to shareholders of record May 13, 2026.

Stock Repurchase Program. During the first three months of 2026, the Company repurchased a total of 507,622 shares with a weighted-average stock price of $27.34 per share. Shares repurchased under the program as of March 31, 2026 since its inception total 29,905,835 shares. The remaining balance available for repurchase was 16,601,672 shares at March 31, 2026.

Liquidity and Capital Adequacy Requirements

Risk-Based Capital. We, as well as our bank subsidiary, are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and other discretionary actions by regulators that, if enforced, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators as to components, risk weightings and other factors.

Table of Contents

In July 2013, the Federal Reserve Board and the other federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule to revise their risk-based and leverage capital requirements and their method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with the agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in "Basel III: A Global Regulatory Framework for More Resilient Banks and Banking Systems" and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act ("Basel III"). Basel III applies to all depository institutions, bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of $500 million or more, and savings and loan holding companies. Basel III became effective for the Company and its bank subsidiary on January 1, 2015. Basel III limits a banking organization’s capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a "capital conservation buffer" of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, which is in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements.

Basel III amended the prompt corrective action rules to incorporate a common equity Tier 1 ("CET1") capital requirement and to raise the capital requirements for certain capital categories. In order to be adequately capitalized for purposes of the prompt corrective action rules, a banking organization is required to have at least a 4.5% CET1 risk-based capital ratio, a 4% Tier 1 leverage ratio, a 6% Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and an 8% total risk-based capital ratio.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require us to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes that, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we met all regulatory capital adequacy requirements to which we were subject.

As of the most recent notification from regulatory agencies, our bank subsidiary was "well-capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as "well-capitalized," we, as well as our banking subsidiary, must maintain minimum CET1 capital, leverage, Tier 1 risk-based capital, and total risk-based capital ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that we believe have changed the bank subsidiary’s category.

Non-GAAP Financial Measurements

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, this report contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP, including earnings, as adjusted; diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted; tangible book value per share; return on average assets, excluding intangible amortization; return on average assets, as adjusted; return on average common equity, as adjusted; return on average tangible equity, excluding intangible amortization; return on average tangible equity, as adjusted; tangible equity to tangible assets; and efficiency ratio, as adjusted.

Table of Contents

We believe these non-GAAP measures and ratios, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP measures and ratios, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. We believe investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP measures and ratios in assessing our operating results and related trends, and when planning and forecasting future periods. However, these non-GAAP measures and ratios should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or preferable to, ratios prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The tables below present non-GAAP reconciliations of earnings, as adjusted, and diluted earnings per share, as adjusted, as well as the non-GAAP computations of tangible book value per share; return on average assets, excluding intangible amortization; return on average assets, as adjusted; return on average common equity, as adjusted; return on average tangible equity excluding intangible amortization; return on average tangible equity, as adjusted; tangible equity to tangible assets; and efficiency ratio, as adjusted. The items used in these calculations are included in financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

Earnings, as adjusted, and diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted, are meaningful non-GAAP financial measures for management, as they exclude certain items such as merger expenses and/or certain gains and losses. Management believes the exclusion of these items in expressing earnings provides a meaningful foundation for period-to-period and company-to-company comparisons, which management believes will aid both investors and analysts in analyzing our financial measures and predicting future performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are also used by management to assess the performance of our business, because management does not consider these items to be relevant to ongoing financial performance.

In Table 24 below, we have provided a reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measure for the periods indicated.

We had $1.43 billion, $1.43 billion and $1.44 billion total goodwill and core deposit intangibles as of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Because of our level of intangible assets and related amortization expenses, management believes tangible book value per share, return on average assets excluding intangible amortization, return on average tangible equity, return on average tangible equity excluding intangible amortization, and tangible equity to tangible assets are useful in evaluating our company. Management also believes return on average assets, as adjusted, return on average equity, as adjusted, and return on average tangible equity, as adjusted, are meaningful non-GAAP financial measures, as they exclude items such as certain non-interest income and expenses that management believes are not indicative of our primary business operating results. These calculations, which are similar to the GAAP calculations of book value per share, return on average assets, return on average equity, and equity to assets, are presented in Tables 25 through 28, respectively.

The efficiency ratio is a standard measure used in the banking industry and is calculated by dividing non-interest expense less amortization of core deposit intangibles by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis and non-interest income. The efficiency ratio, as adjusted, is a meaningful non-GAAP measure for management, as it excludes certain items and is calculated by dividing non-interest expense less amortization of core deposit intangibles by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis and non-interest income excluding items such as merger expenses and/or certain gains, losses and other non-interest income and expenses. In Table 29 below, we have provided a reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measure for the periods indicated.

Item 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Liquidity and Market Risk Management

At March 31, 2026, we held $2.26 billion in assets that could be used for liquidity purposes, which we refer to as net available internal liquidity. This balance consisted of $1.33 billion in unpledged investment securities which could be used for additional secured borrowing capacity, $636.7 million in cash on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") and $290.2 million in other liquid cash accounts.

Consistent with our practice of maintaining access to significant external liquidity, we had $4.11 billion in net available sources of borrowed funds, which we refer to as net available external liquidity, as of March 31, 2026. This included $5.87 billion in total borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"), of which $2.01 billion has been drawn upon in the ordinary course of business, resulting in $3.85 billion in net available liquidity with the FHLB as of March 31, 2026. The $2.01 billion consisted of $500.0 million in outstanding FHLB advances and $1.51 billion used for pledging purposes. We also had access to approximately $162.3 million available borrowing capacity from the Discount Window. As of March 31, 2026, the Company also had access to $35.0 million from First National Bankers’ Bank ("FNBB"), and $55.0 million from other various external sources.

Overall, we had $6.36 billion net available liquidity as of March 31, 2026, which consisted of $2.26 billion of net available internal liquidity and $4.11 billion in net available external liquidity. Details on our available liquidity as of March 31, 2026 are available below.

We have continued to limit our exposure to uninsured deposits and have been actively monitoring this exposure. As of March 31, 2026, we held approximately $8.89 billion in uninsured deposits of which $848.9 million were intercompany subsidiary deposit balances and $3.23 billion were collateralized deposits, for a net position of $4.81 billion. This represented approximately 27.1% of total deposits. In addition, net available liquidity exceeded uninsured and uncollateralized deposits by $1.55 billion as of March 31, 2026.

Asset/Liability Management. Our management actively measures and manages interest rate risk. The asset/liability committees of the boards of directors of our holding company and bank subsidiary are also responsible for approving our asset/liability management policies, overseeing the formulation and implementation of strategies to improve balance sheet positioning and earnings, and reviewing our interest rate sensitivity position.

Our objective is to manage liquidity in a way that ensures cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers are met in a timely and orderly fashion while ensuring the reliance on various funding sources does not become so heavily weighted to any one source that it causes undue risk to the bank. Our liquidity sources are prioritized based on availability and ease of activation. Our current liquidity condition is a primary driver in determining our funding needs and is a key component of our asset and liability management.

Various sources of liquidity are available to meet the cash flow needs of depositors and borrowers. Our principal source of funds is core deposits, including checking, savings, money market accounts and certificates of deposit. We may also from time to time obtain wholesale funding through brokered deposits. Secondary sources of funding include advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window and other borrowings, such as through correspondent banking relationships. These secondary sources enable us to borrow funds at rates and terms which, at times, are more beneficial to us. Additionally, as needed, we can liquidate or utilize our available-for-sale investment portfolio as collateral to provide funds for an intermediate source of liquidity.

Interest Rate Sensitivity. Our primary business is banking and the resulting earnings, primarily net interest income, are susceptible to changes in market interest rates. It is management’s goal to maximize net interest income within acceptable levels of interest rate and liquidity risks.

A key element in the financial performance of financial institutions is the level and type of interest rate risk assumed. The single most significant measure of interest rate risk is the relationship of the repricing periods of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The more closely the repricing periods are correlated, the less interest rate risk we assume. We use net interest income simulation modeling and economic value of equity as the primary methods in analyzing and managing interest rate risk.

One of the tools that our management uses to measure short-term interest rate risk is a net interest income simulation model. This analysis calculates the difference between net interest income forecasted using base market rates and using a rising and a falling interest rate scenario. The income simulation model includes various assumptions regarding the re-pricing relationships for each of our products. Many of our assets are floating rate loans, which are assumed to re-price immediately, and proportional to the change in market rates, depending on their contracted index. Some loans and investments include the opportunity of prepayment (embedded options), and accordingly, the simulation model uses indexes to estimate these prepayments and reinvest their proceeds at current yields. Our non-term deposit products re-price overnight in the model while we project certain other deposits by product type to have stable balances based on our deposit history. This accounts for the portion of our portfolio that moves more slowly than market rates and changes at our discretion.

This analysis indicates the impact of changes in net interest income for the given set of rate changes and assumptions. It assumes the balance sheet remains static and that its structure does not change over the course of the year. It does not account for all factors that impact this analysis, including changes by management to mitigate the impact of interest rate changes or secondary impacts such as changes to our credit risk profile as interest rates change.

Furthermore, loan prepayment rate estimates and spread relationships change regularly. Interest rate fluctuations create changes in actual loan prepayment rates that will differ from the market estimates incorporated in this analysis. Changes that vary significantly from the assumptions may have significant effects on our net interest income.

For the rising and falling interest rate scenarios, the base market interest rate forecast was increased and decreased over twelve months by 200 and 100 basis points, respectively. At March 31, 2026, our net interest margin exposure related to these hypothetical changes in market interest rates was within the current guidelines established by us.

Table 32 presents our sensitivity to net interest income as of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025.

Table 32: Sensitivity of Net Interest Income


	Percentage Change from Base		Percentage Change from Base		March 31,
Interest Rate Scenario	March 31, 2026		March 31, 2025		2026 vs. 2025
Up 200 basis points	11.60	%	11.00	%	0.60	%
Up 100 basis points	5.94		5.61		0.33
Down 100 basis points	(6.09)		(6.24)		0.15
Down 200 basis points	(10.88)		(12.22)		1.34

There have been no material changes in our market risk exposure from March 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026. Our balance sheet mix has remained consistent. The target rate changes by the Federal Reserve have impacted our earnings, but our net interest income exposure is still within our current guidelines. The Federal Reserve reduced the target rate three times during 2025. First, on September 17, 2025, the Federal Reserve reduced the target rate to 4.00% to 4.25%, second, on October 29, 2025, the target rate was reduced to 3.75% to 4.00% and third, on December 10, 2025, the target rate was reduced to 3.50% to 3.75%. The Federal Reserve has not changed the target rate during 2026.
