Note 1 - Accounting Policies

Nature of Business and Basis of Reporting

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Horizon Bancorp, Inc. (“Horizon” or the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Horizon Bank (“Horizon Bank” or the “Bank”), which is an Indiana commercial bank. All inter–company balances and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year of 2026 or 2025. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of Horizon’s management, necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Horizon for the periods presented. Those adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in Horizon’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Horizon’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2026 (the “2025 Annual Report on Form 10–K”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet of Horizon as of December 31, 2025 has been derived from the audited balance sheet as of that date.

Horizon Bancorp has one reportable segment. Business activities are managed on a consolidated basis and revenues are derived primarily through commercial banking, offering retail banking and private wealth management from North America. Horizon Bancorp’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses performance and allocates resources based on consolidated net income, as reported on the Consolidated Statement of Income, and the same accounting policies are applied as described in the Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in Horizon’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10–K.

The CODM uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the business or distribute dividends to shareholders. The CODM also uses net income in competitive analysis by benchmarking against Horizon Bancorp’s competitors. The competitive analysis, along with the monitoring of budgeted versus actual results, is used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing management’s compensation.

On July 16, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a stock repurchase program for up to 2,250,000 shares of Horizon’s issued and outstanding common stock, no par value. As of June 30, 2026, Horizon had repurchased a total of 803,349 shares at an average price per share of $16.89.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders (net income less dividend requirements for preferred stock and accretion of preferred stock discount) by the weighted–average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the consolidated financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had 595 and 836 securities, respectively, with market values below their cost basis. The total fair value of these investments without an allowance at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $572.6 million and $310.1 million, which is approximately 64% and 35%, respectively, of the Company's available for sale securities portfolio.

The Company determines credit losses on available-for-sale investment securities by a discounted cash flow approach using the security’s prepayment-adjusted effective interest rate. The allowance for credit losses is measured as the amount by which an investment security’s amortized cost exceeds the net present value of expected future cash flows. However, the amount of credit losses for available-for-sale investment securities is limited to the amount of a security’s unrealized loss.

The following table details activity in the allowance for credit losses on available for sale debt securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

Due to a specific issuer's deferral of principal and interest payments, the Company had placed a corporate debt security with a fair value of $4.1 million on non-accrual status in June 2025 and has recorded a $120 thousand allowance for credit loss.

Based on an evaluation of available evidence, management believes the unrealized losses on available for sale state and municipal securities, U.S. agency mortgage–backed securities and corporate notes, excluding certain securities disclosed above, were due to changes in interest rates. Due to the contractual terms, the issuers of state and municipal securities are not allowed to settle for less than the amortized cost of the security.

In August 2025, the Company reclassified its held-to-maturity investment portfolio, with a carrying value of $1.8 billion and unrealized loss of $282.6 million, to the available-for-sale portfolio as part of the Company's balance sheet repositioning. Following the reclassification, the Company sold securities with a fair value of $1.4 billion, recognizing a pre-tax loss of $299.5 million upon sale. Following the transfer and sale, the Company released the allowance for credit losses related to the held-to-maturity investment portfolio.

The following table details activity in the allowance for credit losses on held-to-maturity securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Note 3 – Loans

The table below identifies the Company’s loan portfolio segments and classes.


Portfolio Segment						Class of Financing Receivable
Commercial						Owner occupied real estate
						Non-owner occupied real estate
						Residential spec homes
						Development & spec land
						Commercial and industrial
Residential real estate						Residential mortgage
						Residential construction

Consumer						Direct installment
						Indirect installment
						Home equity

Portfolio segment is defined as a level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic methodology to determine its allowance for credit losses. Class of financing receivable is defined as a group of financing receivables determined on the basis of both of the following, 1) risk characteristics of the financing receivable, and 2) an entity’s method for monitoring and assessing credit risk. Generally, the Bank does not move loans from a revolving loan to a term loan other than construction loans. Construction loans are reviewed and rewritten prior to being originated as a term loan.

Net loans	$	4,907,199	$	4,825,243

Total loans include net unearned discounts and deferred loan costs of $6.2 million at June 30, 2026 and $6.8 million at December 31, 2025, respectively.

The risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows:

Commercial

Commercial loans are primarily based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.

Commercial real estate loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves larger loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets, the general economy or fluctuations in interest rates. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of property type, and are monitored for concentrations of credit. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, cash flow and risk grade criteria. As a general rule, the Company avoids financing single purpose projects unless other underwriting factors are present to help mitigate risk. In addition, management tracks the level of owner occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner occupied loans.

(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data)

Real Estate and Consumer

With respect to residential loans that are secured by 1-4 family residences and are generally owner occupied, the Company generally establishes a maximum loan-to-value ratio and requires private mortgage insurance if that ratio is exceeded. Home equity loans are typically secured by a subordinate interest in 1-4 family residences, and consumer loans are secured by consumer assets such as automobiles or recreational vehicles. Some consumer loans are unsecured such as small installment loans and certain lines of credit. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Repayment can also be impacted by changes in property values on residential properties. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

second quarter. For purposes of this disclosure, the Company defines “default” as being 30 days or more past due of contractual interest or principal.

Collateral Dependent Financial Assets

A collateral dependent financial loan relies solely on the operation or sale of the collateral for repayment. In evaluating the overall risk associated with the loan, the Company considers character, overall financial condition and resources, and payment record of the borrower; the prospects for support from any financially responsible guarantors; and the nature and degree of protection provided by the cash flow and value of any underlying collateral. However, as other sources of repayment become inadequate over time, the significance of the collateral's value increases and the loan may become collateral dependent.

The tables below present the amortized cost basis and allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) allocated for collateral dependent loans in accordance with ASC 326, which are individually evaluated to determine expected credit losses, at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had a carrying value of $4.7 million of repossessed assets. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had a recorded net investment of $2.0 million of residential mortgage and home equity loans in which foreclosure proceedings have commenced. Repossessed assets are a component of other assets within the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Credit Quality Indicators

Horizon Bank’s processes for determining credit quality differ slightly depending on whether a new loan or a renewed loan is being underwritten, or whether an existing loan is being re–evaluated for credit quality. The latter usually occurs upon receipt of current financial information or other pertinent data that would trigger a change in the credit quality grade.

•For new and renewed commercial loans, the Bank’s Credit Department, which acts independently of the loan officer, assigns the credit quality grade to the loan. Loan grades for loans with an aggregate credit exposure that exceeds the authorities in the respective regions (ranging from $3,000,000 to $6,000,000) are validated by the Loan Committee, which is chaired by the Chief Commercial Banking Officer (“CCBO”).

•Commercial loan officers are responsible for reviewing their loan portfolios and promptly assessing any adverse change in credit quality and revising the risk rating appropriately. When circumstances warrant a change in the credit quality grade, loan officers are required to notify the Credit Department of the change in the credit quality grade. Downgrades are accepted immediately, however, lenders must present their factual information to the Credit Department when recommending an upgrade. Downgrades to impaired status require the concurrence of the CCBO and the Senior Workout Loan Manager.

•The CCBO, or a designee, meets periodically with loan officers to discuss the status of past due loans and classified loans. These meetings are also designed to give the loan officers an opportunity to identify an existing loan that should be downgraded to a classified grade.

•Monthly, senior management meets as members of the Watch Committee, which reviews all of the past due, classified, and impaired loans and the relative trends of these assets. This committee also reviews the actions taken by management regarding foreclosure mitigation, loan extensions, loan modifications, other real estate owned and personal property repossessions. The information reviewed in this meeting acts as a precursor for developing management’s analysis of the adequacy of the Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases.

For residential real estate and consumer loans, Horizon uses a grading system based on delinquency. Loans that are 90 days or more past due, on non–accrual, or are classified as modified loans are graded “Substandard.” After being 90 to 120 days delinquent a loan is charged off unless it is well secured and in the process of collection. If the latter case exists, the

Table of Contents

HORIZON BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data)

loan is placed on non–accrual. Occasionally a mortgage loan may be graded as “Special Mention.” When this situation arises, it is because the characteristics of the loan and the borrower fit the definition of a Risk Grade 5 described below, which is normally used for grading commercial loans. Loans not graded Substandard are considered Pass.

Horizon Bank employs a nine–grade rating system to determine the credit quality of commercial loans. The first five grades represent acceptable quality, and the last four grades mirror the criticized and classified grades used by the bank regulatory agencies (special mention, substandard, doubtful, and loss). The loan grade definitions are detailed below.

Risk Grade 1: Excellent (Pass)

Loans secured by liquid collateral, such as certificates of deposit, reputable bank letters of credit, or other cash equivalents or loans to any publicly held company with a current long–term debt rating of A or better and meeting defined key financial metric ranges.

Risk Grade 2: Good (Pass)

Loans to businesses that have strong financial statements containing an unqualified opinion from a CPA firm and at least three years consecutive years of profits; loans supported by unaudited financial statements containing strong balance sheets, five consecutive years of profits, a five year satisfactory relationship with the Bank, and key balance sheet and income statement trends that are either stable or positive; loans secured by publicly traded marketable securities with required margins where there is no impediment to liquidation; loans to individuals backed by liquid personal assets and unblemished credit histories; or loans to publicly held companies with current long–term debt ratings of Baa or better and meeting defined key financial metric ranges.

Risk Grade 3: Satisfactory (Pass)

Loans supported by financial statements (audited or unaudited) that indicate average or slightly below average risk and having some deficiency or vulnerability to changing economic conditions; loans with some weakness but offsetting features of other support are readily available; loans that are meeting the terms of repayment, but which may be susceptible to deterioration if adverse factors are encountered and meeting defined key financial metric ranges. Loans may be graded Satisfactory when there is no recent information on which to base a current risk evaluation and the following conditions apply:

•At inception, the loan was properly underwritten, did not possess an unwarranted level of credit risk, and the loan met the above criteria for a risk grade of Excellent, Good, or Satisfactory;

•At inception, the loan was secured with collateral possessing a loan value adequate to protect the Bank from loss.

•The loan has exhibited two or more years of satisfactory repayment with a reasonable reduction of the principal balance.

•During the period that the loan has been outstanding, there has been no evidence of any credit weakness. Some examples of weakness include slow payment, lack of cooperation by the borrower, breach of loan covenants, or the borrower is in an industry known to be experiencing problems. If any of these credit weaknesses is observed, a lower risk grade may be warranted.

Risk Grade 4: Satisfactory/Monitored

Loans in this category are considered to be of acceptable credit quality, but contain greater credit risk than Satisfactory rated loans and meet defined key financial metric ranges. Borrower displays acceptable liquidity, leverage, and earnings performance within the Bank’s minimum underwriting guidelines. The level of risk is acceptable but conditioned on the proper level of loan officer supervision. Loans that normally fall into this grade include acquisition, construction and development loans and income producing properties that have not reached stabilization.

Risk Grade 4W: Management Watch

Loans in this category are considered to be of acceptable quality and meet defined key financial metric ranges, but with above normal risk. Borrower displays potential indicators of weakness in the primary source of repayment

Table of Contents

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data)

resulting in a higher reliance on secondary sources of repayment. Balance sheet may exhibit weak liquidity and/or high leverage. There is inconsistent earnings performance without the ability to sustain adverse economic conditions. Borrower may be operating in a declining industry or the property type, as for a commercial real estate loan, may be high risk or in decline. These loans require an increased level of loan officer supervision and monitoring to assure that any deterioration is addressed in a timely fashion. Commercial construction loans are graded as 4W Management Watch until the projects are completed and stabilized.

Risk Grade 5: Special Mention

Loans which possess some temporary (normally less than one year) credit deficiency or potential weakness which deserves close attention. Such loans pose an unwarranted financial risk that, if not corrected, could weaken the loan by adversely impacting the future repayment ability of the borrower. The key distinctions of a Special Mention classification are that (1) it is indicative of an unwarranted level of risk and (2) weaknesses are considered “potential,” not “defined,” impairments to the primary source of repayment. These loans may be to borrowers with adverse trends in financial performance, collateral value and/or marketability, or balance sheet strength and must meet defined key financial metric ranges.

Risk Grade 6: Substandard

One or more of the following characteristics may be exhibited in loans classified Substandard:

•Loans which possess a defined credit weakness. The likelihood that a loan will be paid from the primary source of repayment is uncertain. Financial deterioration is under way and very close attention is warranted to ensure that the loan is collected without loss.

•Loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor.

•The primary source of repayment is gone, and the Bank is forced to rely on a secondary source of repayment, such as collateral liquidation or guarantees.

•Loans have a distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected.

•Unusual courses of action are needed to maintain a high probability of repayment.

•The borrower is not generating enough cash flow to repay loan principal; however, it continues to make interest payments.

•The lender is forced into a subordinated or unsecured position due to flaws in documentation.

•Loans have been restructured so that payment schedules, terms, and collateral represent concessions to the borrower when compared to the normal loan terms.

•The lender is seriously contemplating foreclosure or legal action due to the apparent deterioration in the loan.

•There is a significant deterioration in market conditions to which the borrower is highly vulnerable.

•The borrower meets defined key financial metric ranges.

Risk Grade 7: Doubtful

One or more of the following characteristics may be present in loans classified Doubtful:

•Loans have all of the weaknesses of those classified as Substandard. However, based on existing conditions, these weaknesses make full collection of principal highly improbable.

•The primary source of repayment is gone, and there is considerable doubt as to the quality of the secondary source of repayment.

•The possibility of loss is high but because of certain important pending factors which may strengthen the loan, loss classification is deferred until the exact status of repayment is known.

•The borrower meets defined key financial metric ranges.

Risk Grade 8: Loss

Loans are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuing to carry them as assets is not feasible. Loans will be classified Loss when it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off or reserving all or a portion of a basically worthless asset, even though partial recovery may be possible at some time in the future.

The accrued interest receivable on our loan receivables is excluded from the allowance for credit loss estimate and is included in interest receivable on our consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the accrued interest on our loan portfolio was $24.4 million and $23.7 million, respectively.

The Company utilized the Cumulative Loss Rate method in determining expected future credit losses. The loss rate method measures the amount of loan charge–offs, net of recoveries, (“loan losses”) recognized over the life of a closed pool and compares those loan losses to the outstanding loan balance of that pool as of a specific point in time (“pool date”).

To estimate a CECL loss rate for the pool, management first identifies the loan losses recognized between the pool date and the reporting date for the pool and determines which loan losses were related to loans outstanding at the pool date. The loss rate method then divides the loan losses recognized on loans outstanding as of the pool date by the outstanding loan balance as of the pool date.

(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data)

The Company’s expected loss estimate is anchored in historical credit loss experience, with an emphasis on all available portfolio data. The Company’s historical look–back period includes January 2009 through the current period, on a monthly basis. When historical credit loss experience is not sufficient for a specific portfolio, the Company may supplement its own portfolio data with external models or data. The Company supplemented data for 2009 and 2010 with the use of adjusted Uniform Bank Performance Report peer group data.

Qualitative reserves reflect management’s overall estimate of the extent to which current expected credit losses on collectively evaluated loans will differ from historical loss experience. The analysis takes into consideration other analytics performed within the organization, such as enterprise and concentration management, along with other credit–related analytics as deemed appropriate. Management attempts to quantify qualitative reserves whenever possible.

The Company’s CECL estimate applies to a forecast that incorporates macroeconomic trends and other environmental factors. Management utilized Moody's economic forecast scenarios including both National and Regional econometrics, as well as management judgment, as the basis for the forecast period. The historical loss rate was utilized as the base rate, and qualitative adjustments were utilized to reflect the forecast and other relevant factors.

The Company segments the loan portfolio into pools based on the following risk characteristics: financial asset type, loan purpose, collateral type, loan characteristics, credit characteristics, outstanding loan balances, contractual terms and prepayment assumptions, industry of the borrower and concentrations, and historical or expected credit loss patterns.

Liability for Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit

Fair value at June 30, 2025 was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis with discount rates ranging from 9.0% to 11.5% and prepayment speeds ranging from 5.8% to 12.5%, depending on the stratification of the specific type.

Note 6 – Goodwill

The carrying amount of goodwill was $155.2 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that indicate an impairment may exist. When assessing goodwill for impairment, first, a qualitative assessment can be made to determine whether it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its estimated carrying value. If the results of the qualitative assessment are not conclusive, a quantitative goodwill test is performed. Alternatively, a quantitative goodwill test can be performed without performing a qualitative assessment.

No goodwill impairment charges were recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Note 7 – Repurchase Agreements

The Company transfers various securities to customers in exchange for cash at the end of each business day and agrees to acquire the securities at the end of the next business day for the cash exchanged plus interest. The process is repeated at the end of each business day until the agreement is terminated. The securities underlying the agreement remained under the Company’s control.

The following tables show repurchase agreements accounted for as secured borrowings and the related securities, at fair value, pledged for repurchase agreements:

Note 8 – Subordinated Notes

On August 29, 2025, Horizon completed the offering and sale of $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 7.000% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2035 (the “2035 Notes”). The 2035 Notes were issued by Horizon at a price equal to 100% of their face amount. Horizon used the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including in support of the repositioning of its balance sheet, and to redeem approximately $56.5 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.625% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2030, which was completed on October 1, 2025. The 2035 Notes will bear interest at a fixed interest rate of 7.000% per annum until September 15, 2030, after which time the interest rate will reset quarterly to a floating rate equal to a benchmark rate, which is expected to be the then current three-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 360 basis points until the 2035 Notes' maturity on September 15, 2035. The 2035 Notes are redeemable by Horizon, in whole or in part, on any interest payment date on or after September 15, 2030, and at any time upon the occurrence of certain events, subject to the receipt of the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to the extent then required under applicable laws or regulations, including capital regulations. The 2035 Notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital of the Company for regulatory capital purposes.

The total balance, net of unamortized issuance costs, of the 2035 Notes was $98.3 million and $98.2 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Total unamortized debt issuance costs were $1.7 million and $1.8 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Note 9 – Derivative Financial Instruments

Our hedging policy allows the use of interest rate derivative instruments to manage our exposure to interest rate risk or hedge specified assets and liabilities. All derivative instruments are carried on the balance sheet at their estimated fair value

Table of Contents

HORIZON BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data)

and are recorded in other assets or other liabilities, as appropriate, and in the net change in each of these financial statement line items in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows.

Fair Value Hedges

Fair value hedges are intended to manage interest rate risk associated with the underlying hedged items. The Company utilizes fair value hedges and applies the portfolio layer method to hedge stated amounts within a closed portfolio of certain available-for-sale mortgage-backed debt securities.

To mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on fair value, the Company previously entered into interest rate swap agreements on individual loans, converting the fixed rate loans to a variable rate. The Company also previously utilized fair value hedges to hedge investment securities, converting the fixed rate security to a variable rate. Changes in fair value of both the hedge instruments and the underlying loan and security agreements are recorded as gains or losses in interest income. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company terminated the fair value hedges on loans and securities, recording a deferred gain of $2.3 million on the loan termination that will be accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the underlying loans, and a mark-to-market adjustment of $0.3 million that was recorded in non-interest income on the termination of the fair value hedges against investment securities. The remaining accretion on the loans was $1.4 million at June 30, 2026.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedges of interest rate risk associated with certain fixed-rate investment securities. The swaps are intended to hedge changes in fair value attributable to fluctuations in that benchmark rate. Changes to fair value hedges on mortgage-backed securities are recorded as gains or losses in interest income. The hedged items consist of mortgage-backed securities which are located in the 'Investment securities, available for sale' line item on the consolidated balance sheet. The hedge relationship fair value is recorded in the "other assets" line item on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The hedge relationships had stated maturities ranging from March 27, 2040 to March 27, 2042.

The company assesses hedge effectiveness on a monthly basis using regression analysis, the fair value hedges are considered highly effective.

Other Derivative Instruments

From time to time, we may enter into certain interest rate swaps that are not designated as hedging instruments. These interest rate derivative contracts relate to transactions in which we enter into an interest rate swap with a customer while concurrently entering into an offsetting interest rate swap with a third-party financial institution. We agree to pay interest to the customer on a notional amount at a variable rate and receive interest from the customer on a similar notional amount at a fixed interest rate. At the same time, we agree to pay a third-party financial institution the same fixed interest rate on the same notional amount and receive the same variable interest rate on the same notional amount. These interest rate derivative contracts allow our customers to effectively convert a variable rate loan to a fixed rate loan.

The Company enters into non–hedging derivatives in the form of mortgage loan forward sale commitments with investors and commitments to originate mortgage loans as part of its mortgage banking business. At June 30, 2026, the Company’s fair value of these derivatives were recorded and over the next 12 months are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s net income.

Changes in fair value of both the forward sale commitments and commitments to originate mortgage loans were recorded and the net gains or losses included in the Company’s gain on sale of loans.

The following tables summarize the fair value of our derivative financial instruments utilized by the Company on a gross basis for the periods indicated.

Note 10 – Disclosures about Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

The Fair Value Measurements topic of the FASB ASC defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

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

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the period ended June 30, 2026. For assets classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the process used to develop the reported fair value is described below.

Available for sale securities

When quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. Level 2 securities include U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities, state and municipal securities, U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities, corporate notes. Level 2 securities are valued by a third party pricing service commonly used in the banking industry utilizing observable inputs. Observable inputs include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flow analysis, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment spreads and available credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions. The pricing provider utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary based on asset class. These models incorporate available market information including quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics and, because many fixed–income securities do not trade on a daily basis, apply available information through processes such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector grouping, and matrix pricing. In addition, model processes, such as an option adjusted spread model, is used to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios for securities with prepayment features. Level 3 securities use the discounted cash flow model or other market indicators to calculate the fair values.

Equity investments in other assets

The fair value of the Company's equity investments in other assets is estimated by a third party utilizing readily determinable fair values quoted on an active market. These investments include the Company's non-qualified deferred compensation plan (see Note 14 - Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025). The Company informally funded its obligation to plan participants in a rabbi trust, which is consolidated by the Company, and is comprised of investment options similar to those selected by the Participants. The assets held in the rabbi trust were reported at their estimated fair value and were included in cash and other assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The related accrued benefit cost (representing the Company's benefit obligation to participants) is recorded as an offsetting liability in other liabilities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. These assets are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

Interest rate swap agreements

The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements is estimated by a third party using inputs that are primarily unobservable including a yield curve, adjusted for liquidity and credit risk, contracted terms and discounted cash flow analysis, and therefore, are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Commitments to originate mortgage loans and mortgage loan contract assets/liabilities

The Company’s forward commitments are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets in an active market with inputs that are observable.

Level 3 recurring fair value measurements:

As of June 30, 2026, the Company has one Level 3 fair value measurement, an available‑for‑sale corporate debt security, which was transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 in 2025 due to increased reliance on significant unobservable inputs used in the discounted cash flow model. These valuation inputs primarily relate to expected cash flow timing, credit assumptions, and the discount rate applied to those cash flows. At the time of transfer, the security had an amortized cost of $5 million and the Company recognized an initial allowance for credit losses $150 thousand and an initial write down of $2.1 million; the fair value at the transfer date is reflected within "Transfers into Level 3". The following table presents the changes in fair value for assets classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:


Level 3 instruments at fair value	June 30, 2026		December 31, 2025
Fair value beginning of year	$	3,871	$	—
Transfers into Level 3 (at fair value on transfer date)	—		2,787
Total gains/(losses) included in earnings (subsequent ACL change - AFS securities)	—		30
Total gains/(losses) included in OCI	103		1,054

Ending balance – June 30, 2026	$	3,974	$	3,871

Certain other assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in the ordinary course of business and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment):


	Fair Value		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
June 30, 2026
Collateral dependent loans	$	464	$	—	$	—	$	464

December 31, 2025
Collateral dependent loans	$	7,429	$	—	$	—	$	7,429

Collateral Dependent Loans: For loans identified as collateral dependent, the fair value method of measuring the amount of impairment is utilized. This method requires obtaining a current independent appraisal of the collateral and applying a discount factor to the value.

Note 11 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value amounts of the Company’s financial instruments were determined using available market information, current pricing information applicable to Horizon and various valuation methodologies. Where market quotations were not available, considerable management judgment was involved in the determination of estimated fair values. Therefore, the estimated fair value of financial instruments shown below may not be representative of the amounts at which they could be exchanged in a current or future transaction. Due to the inherent uncertainties of expected cash flows of financial instruments, the use of alternate valuation assumptions and methods could have a significant effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The following table does not include certain financial instruments that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, including some non-recurring financial instruments. See Note 10 for more details.

The estimated fair values of financial instruments, as shown below, are not intended to reflect the estimated liquidation or market value of Horizon taken as a whole. The disclosed fair value estimates are limited to Horizon’s significant financial instruments at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. These include financial instruments recognized as assets and liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as well as certain off–balance sheet financial instruments. The estimated fair values shown below do not include any valuation of assets and liabilities, which are not financial instruments as defined by the FASB ASC fair value hierarchy.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents are composed of: cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits in banks, and federal funds sold. The carrying amounts approximate fair value.

Loans Held for Sale – For mortgage loans, the fair value is derived from third party pricing models, based on active quotes. For non-mortgage loans, the assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.

Net Loans – The fair value of net loans are estimated on an exit price basis incorporating discounts for credit, liquidity and marketability factors.

FHLB Stock – Fair value of FHLB stock is based on the price at which it may be resold to the FHLB.

Interest Receivable/Payable – The carrying amounts approximate fair value.

Deposits – The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, interest bearing checking accounts and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date and are classified within Level 1. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturity and are classified within Level 2.

Borrowings – Rates currently available to Horizon for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair values of existing borrowings.

Subordinated Notes – The fair value of subordinated notes is based on discounted cash flows based on current borrowing rates for similar types of instruments.

Junior Subordinated Debentures to Capital Trusts – Rates currently available for debentures with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair values of existing debentures.

Note 13 – Regulatory Capital

Horizon and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. These capital requirements implement changes arising from the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the U.S. Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital framework (known as “Basel III”). Failure to meet the minimum regulatory capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators, which if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective actions, the Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines involving quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off–balance–sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

The Company and Bank are subject to minimum regulatory capital requirements as defined and calculated in accordance with the Basel III–based regulations. As allowed under Basel III rules, the Company made the decision to opt–out of including accumulated other comprehensive income in regulatory capital. The minimum regulatory capital requirements are set forth in the table below.

In addition, to be categorized as well capitalized, the Company and Bank must maintain Total risk–based, Tier I risk–based, common equity Tier I risk–based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company and Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to be considered well capitalized. There have been no conditions or events since the end of the second quarter of 2026 that management believes have changed the Bank’s classification as well capitalized. There is no threshold for well capitalized status for bank holding companies.

On March 19, 2026, the federal banking regulators issued three proposals to modernize the regulatory capital framework for banks of all sizes. The federal banking agencies stated the proposals would streamline capital requirements and better align regulatory capital with risk while maintaining the safety and soundness of the banking system. The proposals are intended to be the final phase of the Basel capital reforms. Comments on the proposals were due by June 18, 2026. The Company's management continues to evaluate the impact of these proposals on the Company, the Bank, and its business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Note 14 – Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Commitments, and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its clients. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheets.

Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend to a client, so long as there is no violation of any condition established in the commitment contract. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as the credit risk involved in extending loan facilities to clients. The Company’s policy for obtaining collateral, and determining the nature of such collateral, is essentially the same as in the Company’s policies for making commitments to extend credit. The methodology for estimating the liability for unfunded loan commitments is consistent with the allowance for credit losses on loans.

The following table represents the commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively:


	June 30, 2026		December 31, 2025
Commitments to extend credit	$	1,058,286	$	1,124,850
Standby letters of credit	18,762		22,274
Total	$	1,077,048	$	1,147,124

Litigation Accrual Contingent Liability

On June 24, 2026, a jury returned a civil verdict against the Company's subsidiary, Horizon Bank (the "Bank"), in a lawsuit stemming related to the repossession and credit reporting of a single vehicle financed through the Company's former indirect automobile lending business. The jury awarded total damages approaching $3.0 million, including punitive damages.

During the second quarter of 2026, the Company recorded a pre-tax litigation expense and corresponding litigation accrual of $3.1 million related to this matter. The Company strongly disagrees with the verdict and intends to challenge the decision via an appeal process. The accrual will be maintained pending the resolution of the appeal process. The Company does not anticipate any broader exposure related to this matter.

The Company discontinued originating indirect auto finance loans in 2023 and exited a significant majority of its remaining credit exposure in 2024. The Company does not view this event as a disruption to its core community bank model.

The forward–looking statements are based on management’s expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “could,” “will” and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward–looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements.

Actual results may differ materially, adversely or positively, from the expectations of the Company that are expressed or implied by any forward–looking statement. Risks, uncertainties, and factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to vary materially from those expressed or implied by any forward–looking statement include but are not limited to:

•effects on Horizon’s business resulting from new U.S. domestic or foreign governmental trade measures, including but not limited to tariffs, import and export controls, foreign exchange intervention accomplished to offset the effects of trade policy or in response to currency volatility, and other restrictions on free trade;

•uncertain conditions within the domestic and international macroeconomic environment, including trade policy, monetary and fiscal policy, and conditions in the investment, credit, interest rate, and derivatives markets, and their impact on Horizon and its customers;

•current financial conditions within the banking industry;

•changes in the level and volatility of interest rates, spreads on earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, and interest rate sensitivity;

•the aggregate effects of elevated inflation levels in recent years, and continued inflation levels remaining above the Federal Reserve's 2% target;

•loss of key Horizon personnel;

•macroeconomic conditions and their impact on Horizon and its customers;

•the increasing use of Bitcoin and other crypto currencies and/or stable coin and the possible impact these alternative currencies may have on deposit disintermediation and income derived from payment systems;

Critical Accounting Estimates

The Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10–K contain a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies. Certain of these policies are important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company considers these policies to be its critical accounting estimates. Management has identified as critical accounting estimates as the allowance for credit losses, income taxes, and valuation measurements.

For additional information regarding critical accounting estimates, see Note 1 – Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no material changes in the Company’s application of critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2025.

Results of Operations

Net Income

Net Income increased $4.3 million, to $24.9 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, during the three months ended June 30, 2026 when compared to net income of $20.6 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, for the same period in 2025. The increase in net income when compared with the prior year period is the primary driven by an increase in net interest income of $8.1 million, a decrease in provision expense of $1.5 million and an increase in non-interest income of $1.1 million. The increase was partially offset by an increase in non-interest expense of $4.4 million, driven primarily by the $3.1 million legal charge in the current period, and an increase in tax expense of $2.1 million.

Net income increased $6.5 million to $51.1 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, during the six months ended June 30, 2026 when compared to $44.6 million, or $1.01 per share, for the same period in 2025. The increase from the year ago period was primarily a result of an increase in net interest income of $18.1 million and a decrease in provision expense of $2.5 million. The increase was partially offset by an increase in non-interest expense of $5.9 million, a decrease in non-interest income of $4.2 million and an increase in tax expense of $4.1 million.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $8.1 million, or 14.7% during the three months ended June 30, 2026, to $63.5 million, when compared to the same period in 2025. While average earning assets decreased, owed to the balance sheet repositioning and deleveraging efforts in the third quarter of 2025, the reported net FTE interest margin1 increased by 114 basis points, to 4.37% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the prior year period, driven by the favorable mix shift toward higher-yielding average interest earning assets, and the funding mix toward lower cost deposit liabilities. Additionally, securities yields have expanded while deposit costs have declined when compared with the comparable year ago period.

Net interest income increased $18.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, to $125.7 million when compared to the same period in 2025. While average earning asset balances decreased, owed to the balance sheet repositioning and deleveraging efforts in the third quarter of 2025, the reported net FTE interest margin1 increased by 119 basis points, to 4.33% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 when compared to the prior year period. The primary driver of the increase in net interest income compared with the prior year period is attributable to the favorable mix shift in both higher-yielding average interest earning assets, and the funding mix toward lower cost deposit liabilities. Additionally, loan and security yields have expanded while deposit costs have declined when compared with the comparable year ago period.

For the Three and Six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025

Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, and increased $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. The increase is primarily related to higher transaction-based fee activity in the current period.

Interchange fees increased $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, and increased by $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by increases in merchant and debit card fees.

Fiduciary activities increased $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, and increased $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.

in 2025. The increase is partially attributable to increased salary expense related to strategic hiring and annual merit increases, partially offset by a lower level of benefit expense compared with the year ago period.

Net occupancy expenses increased by $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, and increased by $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. The increase is primarily driven by increases in building maintenance expenses in the current period.

Data processing expense increased by $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, and increased by $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. The increase is primarily driven by increases in debit card processing activity and software maintenance.

Loan expense increased by $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, and increased by $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. The increase is primarily related to a higher amount of production related expense in the current period and a higher amount of reimbursements in the year ago period.

Professional fees decreased by $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, and decreased by $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease is primarily related to a reimbursement of previously incurred legal fees and an overall reduction in gross expenses in the current period.

Outside services and consultants expense decreased by $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, and decreased $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease reflects management's ongoing efforts to reduce the reliance on third party services.

Other expenses, which includes corporate and other service expenses, increased by $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, and increased by $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company recorded a pre-tax expense accrual of $3.1 million related to a lawsuit stemming from 2018 related to a unique circumstance involving

the repossession and credit reporting of a single vehicle financed through our legacy indirect auto business, as previously announced. The accrual will remain in place until the Company has finalized the appeal process.

The remaining changes were nominal amongst the remaining individual non-interest expense accounts.

Horizon assesses the adequacy of its Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) by regularly reviewing the performance of its loan portfolio against various economic backdrops, which periodically change. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses on loans of $1.2 million. This compares to a provision for credit losses on loans of $2.0 million compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease in the provision for credit losses on loans compared to the prior-year period was primarily driven by a reduction in forecasted credit losses related to changes in economic assumptions, partially offset by increases in specific reserves on certain loans. The total provision for credit losses, including the reduction in reserve for unfunded lending commitments of $0.3 million in the current period, was $0.9 million for three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a provision for credit losses of $2.5 million for the same period in 2025.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, net loan charge-offs increased by $0.4 million to $0.6 million, compared to $0.3 million during the same period in 2025. The increase in charge-offs is due to modest increases in charge-offs in the commercial and consumer portfolios during the current period.

The Company’s allowance for credit losses as a percentage of period-end loans HFI was 1.05% at June 30, 2026, compared to 1.09% at June 30, 2025.

As of June 30, 2026, the liability for unfunded lending commitments was $1.3 million compared to $2.3 million as of June 30, 2025.

Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $5.8 million compared to $3.8 million for the same period in 2025, resulting in effective tax rates of 19.0% and 15.4% for those periods, respectively. The Company’s income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $12.0 million compared to $7.9 million for the same period in 2025, resulting in effective tax rates of 19.0% and 15.0%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for three months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to expectations of higher pre-tax income in 2026 as compared to 2025, and less exposure to tax preferential assets in the investment portfolio.

And Results of Operations

For the Three and Six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025

The effective income tax rates differed from the U.S. statutory federal income tax rates of 21% during the comparable periods primarily due to the effect of tax exempt income from securities, loans, and life insurance policies, and net tax benefits from tax credit investments.

Financial Condition

Total assets increased by $137.5 million, or 2.14%, as of June 30, 2026, from $6.4 billion as of December 31, 2025. The increase in total assets is primarily due to an increase in total cash and cash equivalents of $78.5 million, or 56.28%, and an increase in investment securities available-for-sale of $22.4 million, or 2.55%. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in FHLB stock of $38.3 million, or 83.77%, and a decrease in loans held for sale of $4.6 million, or 47.36%,

Total loans HFI, net of ACL, increased $82.0 million, to $4.9 billion, as of June 30, 2026 compared to balances as of December 31, 2025, due to growth in commercial loans that was partially offset by runoff within the consumer loan portfolio. The company continues to maintain a balanced growth profile across various geographies, products and industries, and holds a diverse lending portfolio consisting primarily of commercial real estate, consumer, residential and commercial and industrial portfolios.

Total investment securities increased $22.4 million, or 2.55%, to $897.8 million as of June 30, 2026 when compared to balances as of December 31, 2025. During the first six months of 2026, the Company purchased approximately $60.9 million of available for sale securities, which was offset by amortization and maturities within the portfolio and changes in market value.

Total deposit balances increased by $124.8 million, or 2.37%, to $5.4 billion as of June 30, 2026 when compared to balances as of December 31, 2025. The increase was driven by a $76.8 million increase in savings and money market deposits, reflecting continued success in core deposit gathering efforts, a $24.5 million increase in interest bearing deposits and a $21.6 million increase in non-interest bearing deposits. The Company maintains a granular and tenured deposit base, with a continued focus on core commercial and consumer deposit gathering.

Total borrowings decreased by $25.6 million, or 10.30%, to $223.0 million as of June 30, 2026 when compared to balances as of December 31, 2025, related to a decrease in repurchase agreements.

Credit Quality

The ACL balance at June 30, 2026 was $51.9 million, or 1.05% of period-end loans HFI, compared to an ACL balance of $51.3 million at December 31, 2025, or 1.05% of loans HFI. The increase in the ACL is primarily due to net loan growth and an increase in specific reserves on select commercial loans.

Liquidity

The Bank maintains a stable base of core deposits provided by long–standing relationships with individuals and local businesses. These deposits are the principal source of liquidity for Horizon. Other sources of liquidity for Horizon include earnings, loan repayment, investment security sales and maturities, proceeds from the sale of residential mortgage loans, unpledged investment securities and borrowing relationships with correspondent banks, including the FHLB. At June 30, 2026, in addition to liquidity available from the normal operating, funding, and investing activities of Horizon, the Bank had approximately $1.72 billion in unused credit lines with various money center banks, including the FHLB and the FRB Discount Window compared to $1.68 billion at December 31, 2025.

The cash flows from the operating, investing and financing activities of the Company resulted in a net increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $78.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Operating activities, consisting mainly of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items, provided cash flow of $53.9 million and have historically been a stable source of funds. Investing activities, which occur mainly in the loan and investment securities portfolios, used cash of $64.7 million mainly due to a net change in loans of $84.1 million and purchases of AFS securities of $60.9 million, which was partially offset by proceeds from maturities, calls and principal repayments of securities available for sale of $42.1 million and the redemption of FHLB stock of $38.3 million. Financing activities provided cash of $89.3 million, largely resulting from the proceeds from proceeds from borrowing of $156.2 million and the net change in deposits of $124.8 million, which was partially offset by the repayment of borrowings of $156.4 million, cash used in the net change in repurchase agreements of $19.2 million and $16.5 million in dividends paid on common stock, during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Capital Resources

The capital resources of Horizon and the Bank exceeded regulatory capital ratios for “well capitalized” banks at June 30, 2026. Stockholders’ equity totaled $726.2 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $688.3 million as of December 31, 2025. The increase in stockholders’ equity during the period was due to an increase in retained earnings of $37.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $2.0 million.

As of June 30, 2026, the ratio of total stockholders’ equity to total assets is 11.05%. Book value per common share was $14.21, increasing $0.71 compared to December 31, 2025.

Tangible common equity1 totaled $565.1 million at June 30, 2026, and the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets1 was 8.81% at June 30, 2026. Tangible book value, which excludes intangible assets from total equity, per common share1 was $11.06, increasing $0.74 compared to December 31, 2025.

Horizon declared common stock dividends in the amount of $0.16 per share during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and $0.16 per share for the same period in 2025. The dividend payout ratio (dividends as a percent of basic earnings per share) was 32% and 31% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. For additional information regarding dividends, see Horizon’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10–K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest rate risk management focuses on monitoring and maintaining variances in the Company's net interest income profile due to changes in interest rates to within Board-approved policy limits. The Company primarily uses earnings simulation models to expose net interest income to 12- and 24- month sensitivities to various movements in rates. Simulations are modeled quarterly to include scenarios where market rates change instantaneously up or down in a parallel or non-parallel manner, which account for the periodic changes in the balance sheet composition. For further discussion of the Company’s market risk, see the Interest Rate Sensitivity section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The table below shows the modelled effects of an immediate and parallel shift in interest rates on the Company's net interest income profile over a one-year horizon versus the base case net interest income in a flat rate scenario. The simulation model assumes a static balance sheet over that twelve month period, and utilizes various non-maturity interest bearing deposit beta assumptions, based on the underlying products, ranging from 12% to 80% in the disclosed model outputs below. Deposit beta is an estimate for how quickly interest-bearing deposit pricing will change for a given change in interest rates. Because of limitations inherent in any approach used to measure interest rate risk, simulation results are not intended as a forecast of the actual effect of a change in market interest rates on our results, but rather to provide insight into our current interest rate exposure and to assist in the execution of appropriate asset/liability management strategies. As shown below, the model output would indicate that as of June 30, 2026, the Company's interest-earning assets are projected to reprice at a slightly faster pace than interest-bearing liabilities for the next 100 basis points change in interest rates.


	June 30, 2026
(Dollars in thousands)	$ Change in Net Interest Income		% Change in Net Interest Income
200 basis points rising	$	8,474.0	3.2	%
100 basis points rising	6,777.0		2.6	%
100 basis points falling	$	(156.0)	(0.1)	%
