Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: Civista Bancshares, Inc. ("CBI") is an Ohio corporation and a registered financial holding company. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of CBI and its wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries: Civista Bank ("Civista"), First Citizens Insurance Agency, Inc. ("FCIA"), Water Street Properties, Inc. ("WSP"), CIVB Risk Management, Inc. ("CRMI") and First Citizens Investments, Inc. ("FCI"). The above companies together are sometimes referred to as the "Company". Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Management considers the Company to operate primarily in one reportable segment, banking.

Civista provides financial services through its offices in the Ohio counties of Champaign, Crawford, Cuyahoga, Erie, Franklin, Henry, Huron, Logan, Lorain, Madison, Medina, Montgomery, Ottawa, Richland, Summit, and Wood, in the Indiana counties of Dearborn and Ripley, and in the Kentucky county of Kenton. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial, and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets and commercial and residential real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. There are no significant concentrations of loans to any one industry or customer. However, our customers’ ability to repay their loans is dependent on the real estate and general economic conditions in the area. Other financial instruments that potentially represent concentrations of credit risk include deposit accounts in other financial institutions.

Civista Leasing and Finance ("CLF"), formerly known as Vision Financial Group, Inc. ("VFG"), was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2022 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Civista. As of August 31, 2023, VFG was merged into Civista and now operates as a full-service equipment leasing and financing division of Civista. The operations of CLF are headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

FCIA was formed to allow the Company to participate in commission revenue generated through its third party insurance agreement. Insurance commission revenue was less than 1% of total revenue for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. WSP was formed to hold repossessed assets of CBI’s subsidiaries. WSP revenue was less than 1% of total revenue for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. CRMI was formed in 2017 to provide property and casualty insurance coverage to CBI and its subsidiaries for which insurance may not be currently available or economically feasible in the insurance marketplace. CRMI revenue was slightly above 1% of total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 but less than 1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. FCI is wholly-owned by Civista and holds and manages its securities portfolio. The operations of FCI are located in Wilmington, Delaware.

Acquisition of The Farmers Savings Bank ("FSB")

At the close of business on November 6, 2025, Civista closed its previously announced acquisition of FSB. The acquisition added approximately $268.1 million of total assets, $106.2 million of total loans and leases, $236.1 million of total deposits, and two branches. The 2025 results reflect inclusion of FSB since November 7, 2025.

Upon the closing of the acquisition, FSB was merged with and into Civista Bank. In addition, the management and organization structure was updated to reflect the combined organization. On-boarding of former FSB colleagues and their initial training was completed in the first quarter of 2026. Certain of Civista's products and services have been introduced across the legacy FSB customer base, and customer-facing colleagues are focused on both growing and retaining customers. Technology conversions were completed in mid-February 2026, as scheduled.

Offering of Common Shares

On July 10, 2025, CBI announced an underwritten public offering of up to a maximum of 3,788,238 of its common shares. CBI subsequently closed on the sale of 3,294,120 common shares on July 14, 2025, and the sale of an additional 494,118 common shares on July 16, 2025 pursuant to the underwriters' exercise of their overallotment option, at the public offering price of $21.25 per share. The aggregate net proceeds from the offering were approximately $75.7 million, after deducting $608 of direct expenses and the underwriting discount of $4.2 million. The net proceeds from the offering were initially used to pay-down short-term FHLB advances, but the long-term strategic plan is to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include supporting organic growth opportunities and future strategic transactions.
