| Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses | Note 4 -- Loans and Allowance for Credit LossesLoans are stated at the principal amount outstanding net of unearned discounts, unearned income, and allowance for credit losses. Unearned income includes deferred loan origination fees reduced by loan origination costs and is amortized to interest income over the life of the related loan using methods that approximated the effective interest rate method. Interest on substantially all loans is credited to income based on the principal amount outstanding. A summary of loans at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 follows (in thousands):
Net loans increased $909.3 million as of June 30, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of $860.5 million of net loans that were acquired in the Two Rivers acquisition. Loans expected to be sold are classified as held for sale in the consolidated financial statements and are recorded at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value, taking into consideration future commitments to sell the loans. These loans are primarily for 1-4 family residential properties. Accrued interest on loans, which is excluded from the amortized cost of the balances above, totaled $37.3 million and $35.1 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The structure of the Company’s loan approval process is based on progressively larger lending authorities granted to individual loan officers, loan committees, and ultimately the board of directors. Outstanding balances to one borrower or affiliated borrowers are limited by federal regulation; however, limits well below the regulatory thresholds are generally observed. The vast majority of the Company’s loans are to businesses located in the geographic market areas served by the Company’s branch network. Additionally, a significant portion of the collateral securing the loans in the portfolio is located within the Company’s primary geographic footprint. In general, the Company adheres to loan underwriting standards consistent with industry guidelines for all loan segments. The Company’s lending can be summarized into the following primary areas: Commercial Real Estate Loans. Commercial real estate loans are generally comprised of loans to small business entities to purchase or expand structures in which the business operations are housed, loans to owners of real estate who lease space to non-related commercial entities, loans for construction and land development, loans to hotel and motel operators, and loans to owners of multifamily residential structures, such as apartment buildings. Commercial real estate loans are underwritten based on historical and projected cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying real estate pledged as collateral on the debt. For the various types of commercial real estate loans, minimum criteria have been established within the Company’s loan policy regarding debt service coverage while maximum limits on loan-to-value and amortization periods have been defined. Maximum loan-to-value ratios range from 65% to 85% depending upon the type of real estate collateral, while the desired minimum debt coverage ratio is 1.20x to 1.35x. Amortization periods for commercial real estate loans are generally limited to to thirty years, depending on the collateral type and loan-to-value. The Company’s commercial real estate portfolio is below the threshold of 300 percent of the Company's total capital that would designate a concentration in commercial real estate lending, as established by the federal banking regulators. The following table represents the gross commercial real estate loans by property type as of June 30, 2026 (in thousands):
Commercial and Industrial Loans. Commercial and industrial loans are primarily comprised of working capital loans used to purchase inventory and fund accounts receivable that are secured by business assets other than real estate. These loans are generally written for one year or less. Also, equipment financing is provided to businesses with these loans generally limited to 80% of the value of the collateral and amortization periods limited to seven years. Commercial loans are often accompanied by a personal guaranty of the principal owners of a business. Like commercial real estate loans, the underlying cash flow of the business is the primary consideration in the underwriting process. The financial condition of commercial borrowers is monitored at least annually with the type of financial information required to be determined by the size of the relationship. Measures employed by the Company for businesses with higher risk profiles include the use of government-assisted lending programs through the Small Business Administration and U.S. Department of Agriculture. Agricultural and Agricultural Real Estate Loans. Agricultural loans are generally comprised of seasonal operating lines to grain farmers to plant and harvest corn and soybeans, term loans to fund the purchase of equipment, and the Company's Direct Merchant Finance product to fund crop inputs, primarily seed. Agricultural real estate loans are primarily comprised of loans for the purchase of farmland. Specific underwriting standards have been established for agricultural-related loans including the establishment of projections for each operating year based on industry developed estimates of farm input costs and expected commodity yields and prices. Operating lines are typically written for one year and secured by the crop. The Direct Merchant Finance loans are typically written for one year and are generally unsecured. Loan-to-value ratios on loans secured by farmland generally do not exceed 80% and have amortization periods ranging from twenty-five to thirty years depending on the loan-to-value. Federal government-assistance lending programs through the Farm Service Agency are used to mitigate the level of credit risk when deemed appropriate. Residential Real Estate Loans. Residential real estate loans generally include loans for the purchase or refinance of residential real estate properties consisting of one-to-four units and home equity loans and lines of credit. The Company sells most of its long-term fixed rate residential real estate loans to secondary market investors. The Company also releases the servicing of these loans upon sale. Residential real estate loans are typically underwritten to conform to industry standards including criteria for maximum debt-to-income and loan-to-value ratios as well as minimum credit scores. Loans secured by first liens on residential real estate held in the portfolio typically do not exceed 80% of the value of the collateral and have amortization periods of twenty-five years or less. The Company does not originate subprime mortgage loans. Consumer Loans. Consumer loans are primarily comprised of loans to individuals for personal and household purposes such as the purchase of an automobile or other living expenses. Minimum underwriting criteria have been established that consider credit score, debt-to-income ratio, employment history, and collateral coverage. Typically, consumer loans are set up on monthly payments with amortization periods based on the type and age of the collateral. Construction and land development loans. Construction and land development loans are generally comprised of loans of all sizes, across many different industries, and can include properties for commercial businesses or land development or for residential use such as multifamily properties. Commercial and land development loans are underwritten based on historical and projected cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying real estate pledged as collateral on the debt. Construction and land development loans include unique risks that require enhanced diligence by lending personnel. For these loans, documentation requirements have been established within policy, and a specific checklist is followed. Additionally, based on the type of construction loan, the policy is also followed to designate the construction and land development loans as high-volatility commercial real estate if the loan meets the criteria. To ensure consistent construction loan monitoring, loans greater than $2 million must be monitored by the Bank’s construction monitoring staff. The policy also establishes maximum loan-to-value/amortizations, terms, construction periods, cash investments, pre-sale/lease, and other requirements and are specific to the type of property including non-farm, non-residential secured loans as well as multifamily, 1-4 family non-owner occupied, land acquisition/development/vacant lot acquisition, and raw land. Maximum loan-to-value ratios range from 65% to 80% depending upon the type of real estate collateral. Amortization periods for construction and land development loans are generally limited to twenty to thirty years, depending on the collateral type and loan-to-value. The Company’s construction and land development portfolio is below the threshold of 100 percent of the Company's total capital that would designate a concentration in construction and land development lending, as established by the federal banking regulators. Other Loans. Other loans consist primarily of loans to municipalities to support community projects such as infrastructure improvements or equipment purchases. Underwriting guidelines for these loans are consistent with those established for commercial loans with the additional repayment source of the taxing authority of the municipality. Allowance for Credit LossesThe allowance for credit losses represents the Company’s best estimate of the reserve necessary to adequately account for probable losses expected over the remaining contractual life of the assets. The provision for credit losses is the charge against current earnings that is determined by the Company as the amount needed to maintain an adequate allowance for credit losses. In determining the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, and therefore the provision to be charged to current earnings, the Company relies predominantly on a disciplined credit review and approval process that extends to the full range of the Company’s credit exposure. The review process is directed by the overall lending policy and is intended to identify, at the earliest possible stage, borrowers who might be facing financial difficulty. Factors considered by the Company in evaluating the overall adequacy of the allowance include historical net credit losses, the level and composition of nonaccrual, past due and modified loans, trends in volumes and terms of loans, effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting standards or lending practices, lending staff changes, concentrations of credit, industry conditions and the current economic conditions in the region where the Company operates. The Company estimates the appropriate level of allowance for credit losses by evaluating large substandard, and large impaired loans separately from other loans. Individually Evaluated LoansThe Company individually evaluates certain loans to estimate expected credit losses. Loans are individually evaluated for expected credit losses when their principal balance exceeds $250,000, and they are in nonaccrual status, their risk rating assigned is Substandard and their principal balances exceeds $5 million, or they are designated as having a modification or probable of being foreclosed. For loans that allowance for credit loss is individually measured each quarter one of three alternatives is used: (1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (2) the loan’s observable market price, if available; or (3) the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell for collateral dependent loans and loans for which foreclosure is deemed to be probable. A specific allowance is assigned when expected cash flows or collateral are less than the carrying amount of the loan. The carrying value of the loan reflects reductions from prior charge-offs. Non-Individually Evaluated LoansNon-individually evaluated loans comprise the vast majority of the Company’s total loan portfolio and include all loans not mentioned above in the individually evaluated loans section. A small portion of these loans are considered “criticized” due to the risk rating assigned reflecting elevated credit risk due to characteristics, such as a strained cash flow position, associated with the individual borrowers. Criticized loans are those assigned risk ratings of Special Mention, Substandard, or Doubtful. The Company first bifurcates the loan portfolio into segments that share risk characteristics and then utilizes a discounted cash flow (DCF) method to measure the ACL on loans collectively evaluated that are sub-segmented by credit risk levels. The DCF method incorporates assumptions for probability of default, loss given default, prepayments, and curtailments over the contractual term of the loans. In determining the probability of default, the Company utilized regression analysis that includes the use of peer data to determine certain economic factors that are relevant loss drivers in the portfolio segments based on historical evaluations. National unemployment is a loss driver used in all portfolios. Within each pool, factors are evaluated that have specific impacts to the borrowers within the pool. These, along with the general risks and events, and the specific lending policies and procedures by loan type described above, are analyzed to estimate the qualitative factors used to adjust the historical loss rates. During the current period, the following assumptions and factors were considered when determining the historical loss rate and any potential adjustments by loan pool. Construction and Land Development Loans. Historical losses in this segment remain very low. While inflationary pressures have caused some risk in this segment, most projects are associated with financially strong borrowers. The qualitative factors for this segment decreased for the period due to past due levels decreasing. Agricultural Real Estate Loans. Historical losses in the segment remain very low. Farmland values have increased over an extended period of time. While values have declined slightly from their peak, values have held up well overall. This continues to drive low loan to values in this segment. The qualitative factors for this segment were unchanged during the quarter. Residential Real Estate Non-Owner Occupied Loans. The loan segment increased in the first quarter of 2026 with the addition of the Two Rivers Bank loan portfolio. The qualitative factors for this segment were unchanged during the quarter. Residential Real Estate Owner Occupied Loans. The loan segment increased in the first quarter of 2026 with the addition of the Two Rivers Bank loan portfolio. The qualitative factors for this segment decreased for the period due to lower past due levels. HELOC Loans. These loans are a small segment to overall loan balances. There was no change to the qualitative factors for this segment during the year. Commercial Real Estate Owner Occupied Loans. This segment has remained stable, reflecting less uncertainty to recessionary risks that were high in prior years with the rapid movement in interest rates and inflationary pressures. The quarter ended with higher past dues in this loan segment, which increased the qualitative factors. Commercial Real Estate Non-Owner Occupied Loans. This segment includes the Company's largest balances. The qualitative factors for the quarter increased in this segment due to higher concentrations and macroeconomic factors. Agricultural Loans. Losses in this segment include the Company's Direct Merchant Financing product, which inherently comes with higher overall risk of losses. Overall past dues in this segment decreased during the quarter and drove a lower qualitative factor adjustment, while additional qualitative factors were added due to continued pressures in the agricultural economy. Commercial and Industrial Loans. Due to overall macroeconomic factors including “higher for longer” interest rates, additional qualitative factors were added for this segment during the quarter. Consumer Loans. This segment is a small portion of the Company's loan portfolio. Historical net charge-offs have been immaterial in this segment. Qualitative factors decreased during the quarter due to an overall decline in past due levels.

Consistent with regulatory guidance, charge-offs on all loan segments are taken when specific loans, or portions thereof, are considered uncollectible. The Company’s policy is to promptly charge these loans off in the period where the uncollectible loss is reasonably determined. For all loan portfolio segments except 1-4 family residential properties and consumer, the Company promptly charges-off loans, or portions thereof, when available information confirms that specific loans are uncollectible based on information that includes, but is not limited to, (1) the deteriorating financial condition of the borrower, (2) declining collateral values, and/or (3) legal action, including bankruptcy, that impairs the borrower’s ability to adequately meet its obligations. For impaired loans that are considered solely collateral dependent, a partial charge-off is recorded when a loss has been confirmed by an updated appraisal or other appropriate valuation of the collateral. The Company charges off 1-4 family residential and consumer loans, or portions thereof, when the Company reasonably determines the amount of the loss. The Company adheres to time frames established by applicable regulatory guidance which provides for the charge-down of 1-4 family first and junior lien mortgages to the net realizable value less costs to sell when the loan is 180 days past due, charge-off of unsecured open-end loans when the loan is 180 days past due, and charge down to the net realizable value when other secured loans are 120 days past due. Loans at these respective delinquency thresholds for which the Company can clearly document that the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection, such that collection will occur regardless of delinquency status, need not be charged off.

Credit QualityThe Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, collateral support, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on a continuous basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings, which are commensurate with a loan considered “criticized”: Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date. Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound-worthiness and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing factors, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered pass rated loans.

Nonaccrual LoansWithin all loan portfolio segments, loans are expected to incur credit losses when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. The entire balance of a loan is considered delinquent if the minimum payment contractually required to be made is not received by the specified due date. Impaired loans, excluding certain modified loans, are placed on nonaccrual status. Impaired loans include nonaccrual loans and loans modified in restructuring where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection. It is the Company’s policy to have any restructured loans which are on nonaccrual status prior to being modified remain on nonaccrual status until, in the opinion of management, the financial position of the borrower indicates there is no longer any reasonable doubt as to the timely collection of interest or principal. If the restructured loan is on accrual status prior to being modified, the loan is reviewed to determine if the modified loan should remain on accrual status. The Company’s policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest income on all loans for which principal or interest is ninety days past due. The accrual of interest is discontinued earlier when, in the opinion of management, there is reasonable doubt as to the timely collection of interest or principal. Once interest accruals are discontinued, accrued but uncollected interest is charged against current year's income. Subsequent receipts on nonaccrual loans are recorded as a reduction of principal, and interest income is recorded only after principal recovery is reasonably assured. Interest on loans determined to be modified is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with the restructured terms if the loan is in compliance with the modified terms. Nonaccrual loans are returned to accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the financial position of the borrower indicates there is no longer any reasonable doubt as to the timely collection of interest or principal. The Company requires a period of satisfactory performance of not less than six months before returning a nonaccrual loan to accrual status. The amount of interest income recognized by the Company within the periods stated above was due to loans modified in restructuring that remain on accrual status. The following table presents the Company’s recorded balance of nonaccrual loans as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (in thousands). This table excludes performing purchased credit deteriorated loans and performing loans modified.
The aggregate principal balances of nonaccrual, past due ninety days or more loans were $40.4 million and $31.1 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Interest income that would have been recorded under the original terms of such nonaccrual loans totaled $1.8 million and $662,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial DifficultyThe following table shows the amortized cost of loans at June 30, 2026 and 2025 that were both experiencing financial difficulty and modified segregated by portfolio segment and type of modification. The percentage of the amortized cost of loans that were modified to borrowers in financial distress as compared to outstanding loans is also presented below.
The Company closely monitors the performance of loans that have been modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. The following table shows the performance of such loans that have been modified in the last twelve months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
The following table shows the financial effect of loan modifications during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.
A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days past due under the modified terms. During the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, there were four and zero loans modified that experienced payment defaults, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, there were five and four loans modified that experienced payment defaults, respectively. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the balance of real estate owned included $5.8 million and $2.9 million respectively of foreclosed real estate properties recorded as a result of obtaining physical possession of the property. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the recorded investment of consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceeds were in process were $3.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively. |
