Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following summarizes the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of the Company's financial instruments:

Short-Term Financial Instruments

The carrying values of short-term financial instruments are considered to approximate fair values, as they are readily convertible to cash. These instruments include cash and due from financial institutions, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, accrued interest receivable, most short-term FHLB advances and other short-term borrowings, and accrued interest payable.

Investment Securities

Fair values of investment securities are determined using market price quotations provided by third-party pricing services, which apply pricing models supported by current market data. Where quoted market prices are unavailable, fair values are based on comparable securities.

Loans

Fair values of loans are estimated using discounted cash flows models applied to portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics including the type of loan, interest terms, and repayment history. Cash flows are discounted using estimated market rates that reflect credit and interest rate risks. These rates are derived from market data and borrower-specific information. The weighted average discount rate used in the valuation of loans was 6.85% as of June 30, 2026, and 6.33% as of December 31, 2025. Fair value measurements are based on the exit price notion, in accordance with ASU 2016-01.

Loans Held for Sale

Fair values of loans classified as held for sale are generally based upon quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, acceptance of firm offer letters with agreed upon purchase prices, discounted cash flow models that take into account market observable assumptions, or independent appraisals of the underlying collateral securing the loans.

Loans transferred from held-for-investment to held-for-sale are reported at fair value, net of estimated selling costs on the consolidated balance sheets.
Mortgage Servicing Rights

MSRs are initially recorded at fair value determined by a discounted cash flow model prepared by a third-party service provider using market-based assumptions at origination. Subsequent impairment assessments are performed at each reporting period and use current market assumptions. Key assumptions include mortgage prepayment speeds, discount rates, servicing income, and costs. These inputs are subjective and require management judgment. Changes in assumptions are made to reflect evolving market trends and loan product types.

MSRs are classified as Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy due to significant unobservable inputs. The Company’s valuation techniques rely on discounted cash flow models reflecting expected cash flows, prepayment behavior, and cost structures. Fair value measurements and related assumptions are reviewed periodically and validated against market data and third-party valuations.

Deposit Liabilities

For deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits and interest-bearing demand and savings accounts, fair value equals the carrying amount, representing the amount payable on demand.

For time deposits, fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currently offered for FHLB advances of similar remaining maturities. The weighted average discount rate used in the valuation of time deposits was 4.04% as of June 30, 2026 and 3.81% as of December 31, 2025.

Long-Term Debt

Fair values of long-term debt are estimated by discounting scheduled cash flows over the contractual borrowing period using estimated market rates for similar borrowing arrangements. The weighted average discount rate used in the valuation of long-term debt was 6.09% as of June 30, 2026 and 6.12% as of December 31, 2025.

Derivatives

Fair values of derivative financial instruments are based on current market values, when available. If there are no relevant comparable values, fair values are based on pricing models using current assumptions for forward sale commitments, interest rate lock commitments, risk participation agreements, back-to-back swap agreements, and interest rate swaps.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

Fair values of off-balance sheet financial instruments are estimated based on 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, current settlement values or quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Limitations of Fair Value Estimates

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and are based on relevant market conditions and available financial instrument information. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time our entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of our financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments and assumptions regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates cannot be determined with precision as they are inherently subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Changes in assumptions could significantly impact the estimates.
Fair value estimates are limited to existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments and do not include the estimated value of future business or non-financial assets and liabilities such as deferred tax assets and premises and equipment.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company classifies its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy, based on the markets in which the financial assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value as follows:

•Level 1 — Fair value is based on quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.

•Level 2 — Fair value is based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

•Level 3 — Fair value is determined by using model-based techniques that rely on significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company's own estimates of assumptions that market participants
would use in pricing the asset or liability. Techniques may include the use of discounted cash flow models and other similar methods that require the use of significant judgment or estimation.

Fair value is measured based on the price that we would expect to receive if an asset were sold, or the price that we would expect to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company also prioritizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes reliance on unobservable inputs when developing fair value estimates.

Fair Value Hierarchy Transfers

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company did not transfer any financial assets or liabilities to or from Level 3.

In 2025, the Company transferred its back-to-back swaps from Level 3 to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy due to a change in valuation methodology.

Recurring and Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses fair value measurements to record adjustments to certain financial assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Available-for-sale securities and derivatives are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

Periodically, the Company may be required to record other financial assets, such as loans held for sale, individually evaluated loans, mortgage servicing rights, and other real estate owned, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or fair value accounting, or write-downs of individual assets.

The Company estimates the fair value of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities using a discounted cash flow model that calculates the present value of estimated future principal and interest payments. Based on this methodology, the estimated aggregate fair value of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis was $6.5 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $6.7 million as of December 31, 2025.

The weighted-average discount rate is the primary unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the available-for-sale debt securities. The weighted average discount rate utilized was 6.21% as of June 30, 2026, 5.92% as of December 31, 2025, and 6.04% as of June 30, 2025. These discount rates were derived by incorporating a credit spread over the FHLB Fixed-
Rate Advance curve. A significant increase in the weighted-average discount rate could result in a lower fair value, while a decrease could result in a higher fair value.

There were no financial assets or liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
