NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations – South Plains Financial, Inc. (“SPFI”) is a Texas corporation and registered bank holding company that conducts its principal activities through its subsidiaries from offices located throughout Texas and Eastern New Mexico. Principal activities include commercial and retail banking, along with investment, trust, and mortgage services. The following were subsidiaries of SPFI as of September 30, 2026:

Wholly-Owned, Consolidated Subsidiaries:
City Bank	Bank subsidiary
Ruidoso Retail, Inc.	Non-bank subsidiary
CB Provence, LLC	Non-bank subsidiary
CBT Brushy Creek, LLC	Non-bank subsidiary
CBT Properties, LLC	Non-bank subsidiary
Wholly-Owned, Equity Method Subsidiaries:
South Plains Financial Capital Trusts (“SPFCT”) III-V	Non-bank subsidiaries

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 (this “Form 10-Q”) include the accounts of SPFI and its wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”) identified above. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The interim consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. All such adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 as filed with the SEC on March 5, 2026 (the “2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Operating results for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year or any future period.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Determination of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) is a material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Updates to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) are prescribed in Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”), which are not authoritative until incorporated into the ASC.

ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. The amendments in this ASU modify the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of Topics in the Codification. Certain of the amendments represent clarifications to, or technical corrections of the current requirements. Each amendment in this ASU will only become effective if the SEC removes the related disclosure or presentation requirement from its existing regulations by June 30, 2027. The amendments in this ASU are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires public companies to disclose in tabular format, in the notes to the financial statements, specific disaggregated information about certain prescribed categories of expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. The prescribed categories include, among other things, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. This ASU is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Implementation of this ASU may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ASU 2025-08 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans. This ASU amends the guidance in ASC 326 on the accounting for certain purchased loans. Under this ASU, entities must account for acquired loans (excluding credit cards) that meet certain criteria at acquisition, (“purchased seasoned loans”) by recognizing them at their purchase price plus an allowance for expected credit losses (the “gross-up” approach). This ASU’s amendments align the accounting for purchased seasoned loans with the treatment of financial assets purchased with more-than-insignificant credit deterioration since origination (“PCD”). Purchased seasoned loans (“PSLs”) are defined under this ASU as non-PCD loans that are obtained in a business combination, or non-PCD loans that (1) are obtained in an asset acquisition or upon consolidation of a variable interest entity that is not a business and (2) are acquired more than 90 days after their origination date by a transferee that was not involved in their origination. This ASU also introduces an accounting policy election related to the subsequent measurement of expected credit losses for entities that use a method other than a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate credit losses on purchased seasoned loans. If this accounting policy is elected, entities can use the amortized cost basis of the asset to subsequently measure their allowance for credit losses on loans. The Company did not elect this accounting policy. The Company early adopted ASU 2025-08 on April 1, 2026 on a prospective basis and applied it as part of the purchase accounting for BOH Holdings, Inc. See Note 2 for further discussion of the impact of this ASU.

ASU 2025-11 Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. This ASU is intended to improve the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270 and clarify when it applies. Under the amendments, an entity is subject to ASC 270 if it provides “interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP.” This ASU also addresses the form and content of such financial statements, adds lists to ASC 270 of the interim disclosures required by all other Codification topics, and establishes a principle under which an entity must “disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity.” As the Board stated in the proposed guidance and reiterates in this ASU, the amendments are not intended to “change the fundamental nature of interim reporting or expand or reduce current interim disclosure requirements.” This update is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Subsequent Events – The Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions from September 30, 2026 through the date this Form 10-Q was filed with the SEC for potential recognition or disclosure as required by GAAP.

2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On April 1, 2026, SPFI completed the acquisition of BOH Holdings, Inc., a Texas corporation (“BOH”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization Agreement”) dated December 1, 2025, which provided for the acquisition by SPFI of BOH through the merger of BOH with and into SPFI, with SPFI surviving the merger (the “Merger”). The Reorganization Agreement provided that immediately following the consummation of the Merger, Bank of Houston, a Texas state banking association and wholly-owned subsidiary of BOH, would be merged with and into City Bank, a Texas state banking association and wholly-owned subsidiary of SPFI, with City Bank surviving the merger. As a result of the Merger, the Company increased its presence in the Houston, Texas market. At March 31, 2026, BOH had approximately $685.0 million in assets, $631.9 million in total gross loans, and $595.6 million in deposits.

Under the terms of the Reorganization Agreement, shareholders of BOH received 0.1925 shares of the Company’s common stock for each share of BOH common stock held immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, plus cash, without interest, in lieu of any fractional shares. As a result, the Company issued 2,803,535 shares of its common stock to the former shareholders of BOH.

The Merger was accounted for under ASC 805 as a business combination. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. The determination of fair value requires management to make estimates related to discount rates, expected future cash flows, market conditions and other future events that are highly subjective in nature and subject to change. Fair value estimates related to the assets and liabilities from BOH are subject to adjustment for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information becomes available. Valuations subject to refinement include, but are not limited to, loans, other assets and other liabilities.

The following table details the purchase consideration and the preliminary determination of the purchase consideration to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from BOH as of the closing date of the Merger on April 1, 2026 (dollars in thousands):


Purchase consideration:
Fair value of common stock issued	$	117,468
Cash paid to settle outstanding warrants and stock appreciation rights		597
Cash paid in lieu of fractional shares		3
Total consideration	$	118,068

Assets acquired:

Accrued expenses and other liabilities		3,950
Total liabilities assumed		614,795
Preliminary fair value of net assets acquired		70,791
Preliminary goodwill recorded in acquisition	$	47,277

The Company recorded preliminary goodwill of $47.3 million, none of which is anticipated to be deductible for tax purposes. The preliminary goodwill is primarily attributable to expected synergies, operational efficiencies, and other factors to arise from the transaction.

There was a total of $2.6 million of acquisition related expenses recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2026. This total was comprised of $708 thousand in personnel expenses, $1.2 million in professional services expense, and $693 thousand in data conversion expenses.

Acquired Loans

Acquired loans were recorded at fair value based on a discounted cash flow valuation methodology that considers, among other things, interest rates, projected default rates, loss given default, and recovery rates. During the valuation process, the Company identified PCD and PSLs in the acquired loan portfolio. Loans acquired with evidence of credit quality deterioration since origination as of the acquisition date were accounted for as PCD. All remaining loans were considered to be PSLs. For both PSLs and PCD loans, the initial estimate of expected credit losses was included in the balance of loans with an offsetting amount recorded to the ACL as of the date of acquisition. Amortization or accretion of discounts or premiums on the acquired loans will be recognized based on payment structure and the contractual maturity of the individual loans.

The following table includes the fair value and unpaid principal balance of the acquired loans on the April 1, 2026 acquisition date (dollars in thousands):


	Unpaid Principal Balance		Premium (Discount)			ACL on Acquired Loans			Fair Value of Acquired Loans
PCD loans	$	89,004	$	(1,579	)	$	(3,173	)	$	84,252

Pro Forma Information (unaudited)

The results of operations of BOH have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements prospectively beginning on April 1, 2026. The Company has determined it is impractical to disclose stand-alone revenues and earnings for the former BOH operations for the period subsequent to the closing date of the Merger due to the streamlining and integration of processes. The following table presents selected unaudited pro forma financial information reflecting the acquisition of BOH assuming the Merger was completed as of January 1, 2025. The unaudited pro forma financial information includes adjustments for scheduled amortization and accretion of significant fair value adjustments recorded at the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the combined financial results of the Company and BOH had the transaction actually been completed at the beginning of the periods presented, nor does it indicate future results for any other interim or full-year period.

Information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 reflects the actual results of the Company, excluding merger costs, and the actual results of BOH for the three months ended March 31, 2026, excluding merger costs and including amortization of intangible assets. Information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, includes BOH’s actual results for those periods and reflects adjustments related to the amortization of intangible assets.

There were 139 securities with an unrealized loss at September 30, 2026, generally due to a continuation of the elevated market interest rate environment. Management evaluates securities available for sale (“AFS”) in unrealized loss positions to determine whether the impairment is due to credit-related factors or non-credit related factors. Consideration is given to the extent to which the fair value is less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for the anticipated recovery in fair value. Management does not have the intent to sell any of the securities in an unrealized loss position and believes that it is not likely that the securities will have to be sold before a recovery of cost. The fair value of these securities is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2026, management believes the unrealized loss positions detailed in the previous table are due to non-credit related factors, including changes in interest rates and other market conditions, and therefore no ACL for AFS securities or losses have been recognized or realized in the consolidated financial statements.

The Company has certain lending policies, underwriting standards, and procedures in place that are designed to maximize loan income with an acceptable level of risk. Management reviews and approves these policies, underwriting standards, and procedures on a regular basis and makes changes as appropriate. Management receives frequent reports related to loan originations, quality, concentrations, delinquencies, non-performing, and potential problem loans. Diversification in the loan portfolio is a means of managing risk associated with fluctuations in economic conditions, both by type of loan and geography.

Commercial Real Estate – Underwriting standards have been designed to determine whether the borrower possesses sound business ethics and practices, evaluate current and projected cash flows to determine the ability of the borrower to repay their obligations as agreed and ensure appropriate collateral is obtained to secure the loan. Commercial real estate loans are underwritten primarily based on projected cash flows for income-producing properties and collateral values for non-income-producing properties. The repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loans or the sale or refinancing of the property. Real estate loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The properties securing the Company’s real estate portfolio are diversified by type and geographic location. This diversity helps reduce the exposure to adverse economic events that affect any single market or industry.

Commercial – General and Specialized – Commercial loans are underwritten after evaluating and understanding the borrower’s ability to operate profitably. Underwriting standards have been designed to determine whether the borrower possesses sound business ethics and practices, evaluate current and projected cash flows to determine the ability of the borrower to repay their obligations, as agreed and ensure appropriate collateral is obtained to secure the loan. Commercial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and, secondarily, on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets, such as real estate, accounts receivable, or inventory, and typically include personal guarantees. Owner-occupied real estate is included in commercial loans, as the repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the operations of the commercial borrower’s business rather than on income-producing properties or the sale of the properties. Commercial loans are grouped into two distinct sub-categories: specialized and general. Commercial related segments that are considered “specialized” include agricultural production and real estate loans, energy loans, and finance, investment, and insurance loans. Commercial related segments that contain a broader diversity of borrowers, sub-industries, or serviced industries are grouped into the “general category.” These include goods, services, restaurant & retail, construction, and other industries. Performance of these loans is subject to operating and cash flow results of the borrower, with risk in the volatility of operating results for particular industries.

Consumer – Loans to consumers include 1-4 family residential loans, auto loans, and other loans for recreational vehicles or other purposes. The Company utilizes a computer-based credit scoring analysis to supplement its policies and procedures in underwriting consumer loans. The Company’s loan policy addresses types of consumer loans that may be originated and the collateral, if secured, which must be perfected. The relatively smaller individual dollar amounts of consumer loans that are spread over numerous individual borrowers also minimizes the Company’s risk. The Company generally requires mortgage title insurance and hazard insurance on 1-4 family residential loans. All consumer loans are generally dependent on the risk characteristics of the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, a consideration of the debt to income ratio, employment and income stability, the loan-to-value ratio, and the age, condition and marketability of the collateral.

Construction – Loans for residential construction are for single-family properties to developers, builders, or end-users. These loans are underwritten based on estimates of costs and completed value of the project. Funds are advanced based on estimated percentage of completion for the project. Performance of these loans is affected by economic conditions as well as the ability to control costs of the projects.

The following table details the activity in the ACL for loans for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands). Allocation of a portion of the ACL to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company grades its loans on a thirteen-point grading scale. These grades fit in one of the following categories: (i) pass, (ii) special mention, (iii) substandard, (iv) doubtful, or (v) loss. Loans categorized as loss are charged-off immediately. The grading of loans reflects a judgment by the Company about the risks of default associated with the loan. The Company reviews the grades on loans as part of the Company’s on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the loan portfolio. These risk ratings are assigned based on relevant information about the ability of the borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors.

Pass loans have financial factors or nature of collateral that are considered reasonable credit risks in the normal course of lending and encompass several grades that are assigned based on varying levels of risk, ranging from credits that are secured by cash or marketable securities, to watch credits which have all the characteristics of an acceptable credit risk but warrant more than the normal level of monitoring.

Special mention loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of repayment prospects for the loans at some future date.

Substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or by the collateral pledged, if any. These loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize collection and present the distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the deficiencies are not corrected. A protracted workout on these credits is a distinct possibility. Prompt corrective action is therefore required to strengthen the Company’s position, and/or to reduce exposure and to assure that adequate remedial measures are taken by the borrower. Credit exposure becomes more likely in such credits and a serious evaluation of the secondary support to the credit is performed. Substandard loans can be accruing or can be nonaccrual depending on the circumstances of the individual loans.

Doubtful loans have all the weaknesses inherent in substandard loans with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values highly questionable and improbable. All doubtful loans are on nonaccrual.

In connection with the review of the Company’s loan portfolio, management considers risk elements attributable to particular loan type or categories in assessing the quality of individual loans. The list of loans to be analyzed for individual evaluation consists of non-accrual loans over $250 thousand. Interest income recognized using a cash-basis method on non-accrual loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was not significant. In addition, the Company closely monitors substandard accruing loans over $1 million, and past due accruing loans over $250 thousand for possible individual evaluation. All other loans will be evaluated collectively in designated pools unless a loss exposure has been identified. Additional funds committed to be advanced on individually analyzed loans are not significant.

On an ongoing basis, the performance of modified loans is monitored for subsequent payment default. Payment default is defined as movement to nonperforming status, foreclosure, or charge-off. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company had $5.1 million in loans made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were modified during the last twelve months that subsequently defaulted. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company had $5.2 million in loans made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were modified during the last twelve months that subsequently defaulted.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company had no loans made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were modified during the last twelve months that subsequently defaulted. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company had $97 thousand in loans made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were modified during the last twelve months that subsequently defaulted.

Upon the Company’s determination that a modified loan has subsequently been deemed to not be fully collectible, the uncollectible amount is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount.

5. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES

As presented in Note 2, the Company recorded goodwill and core deposit intangibles of $47.3 million and $5.0 million, respectively, related to the BOH acquisition.

7. BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS

Subordinated Debt

In December 2018, the Company issued $14.1 million of subordinated notes that have a maturity date of December 2030 and a weighted average fixed rate of 6.41% for the first seven years. After the fixed rate period expired, these notes began floating at the Wall Street Journal prime rate, with a floor of 4.0% and a ceiling of 7.5%, resulting in a rate of 6.75% as of September 30, 2026. These notes pay interest quarterly, are unsecured, and may be called by the Company at any time after the remaining maturity is five years or less. Additionally, these notes are intended to qualify for Tier 2 capital treatment, subject to regulatory limitations.

As of September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the total amount of subordinated notes outstanding was $14.1 million.

Notes Payable and Other Borrowings

As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, City Bank had no outstanding advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (“FHLB”) or any short-term borrowings.

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Equity Incentive Plan

The South Plains Financial, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”) was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on January 16, 2019 and by its shareholders on March 6, 2019. The purpose of the Plan is to: (i) attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, (ii) provide additional incentive to employees, directors and consultants, and (iii) promote the success of the Company’s business. This Plan permits the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, performance shares, and other stock-based awards. The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to all awards under the Plan was 5,901,991 at September 30, 2026. The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the Plan may be increased annually by up to 3% of the total issued and outstanding common shares of the Company at the beginning of each fiscal year.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock and similar peer company averages. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes in to account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

Options

A summary of activity in the Plan during the period indicated is presented in the table below (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

Nonvested at end of period		163,356		$	34.90

Vested unreleased at end of period		91,721		$	26.78

Restricted stock units granted under the Plan typically vest from one to four years, but vesting periods may vary. Compensation expense for these grants will be recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of the stock at the issue date. The total fair value of restricted stock units released during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was $1.8 million and $546 thousand, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to the Plan of $715 thousand and $621 thousand, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to the Plan of $2.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

The total unrecognized compensation cost for the awards outstanding under the Plan at September 30, 2026 was $4.9 million and will be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 1.62 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan – The Company maintains the South Plains Financial, Inc. 2023 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) offering eligible employees an opportunity to purchase shares of Company common stock at a 15% discount from the lesser of fair market value on the first or last day of each six-month offering period, beginning August 1, 2024. The ESPP provides for the purchase of up to an aggregate of one million shares of the Company’s common stock by the employees. A maximum of 1,200 shares per employee may be purchased per offering period. The ESPP benefit is treated as compensation to the employee, and the compensation expense will be recognized over the service period based on the grant date fair value of the rights determined at the beginning of the purchase period, adjusted for forfeitures and certain modifications. For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP of $48 thousand and $29 thousand, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP of $123 thousand and $94 thousand, respectively.

At September 30, 2026, there was $50 thousand of total unrecognized compensation expense related to estimated ESPP shares. These costs are expected to be recognized over a period of four months.

A summary of assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value of the ESPP rights for the period indicated is presented below:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,

9. OFF-BALANCE-SHEET ACTIVITIES, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk - The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for recorded instruments.

Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk outstanding at the dates indicated follow (dollars in thousands):


	September 30, 2026		December 31, 2025
Commitments to grant loans and unfunded commitments under lines of credit	$	721,322	$	554,286
Standby letters of credit		38,116		30,681

Commitments to grant loans and extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company requires collateral supporting those commitments if deemed necessary.

FHLB Letters of Credit - The Company may use FHLB letters of credit to pledge to certain public deposits. At each of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 there were no FHLB letters of credit outstanding.

Litigation – The Company is a defendant in legal actions arising from time to time in the normal course of business. Management believes that the ultimate liability, if any, arising from these matters will not materially affect the consolidated financial statements, based on information known as of the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.

10. CAPITAL AND REGULATORY MATTERS

SPFI and City Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by its banking regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on SPFI’s and City Bank’s financial statements. Under capital guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, SPFI and City Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require SPFI and City Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, that SPFI and City Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, SPFI met the definition of “well-capitalized” under the applicable regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and City Bank was “well capitalized” under the FDIC’s regulatory framework for prompt corrective action and the Basel III capital guidelines. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following tables. There are no conditions or events since September 30, 2026 that management believes have changed the bank subsidiary’s category.

SPFI, on a consolidated basis, and City Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios at the dates indicated follows (dollars in thousands):


	Actual					Minimum Required Under BASEL III					To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions
	Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio

City Bank		492,355		10.90	%		181,512		4.00	%		225,868		5.00	%

SPFI and City Bank are subject to the Basel III capital ratio requirements which include a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.50% above the regulatory minimum risk-based capital adequacy requirements. This 2.50% capital conservation buffer is reflected in the table above. Both SPFI’s and City Bank’s actual ratios, as outlined in the table above, exceeded the Basel III risk-based capital requirement with the capital conservation buffer as of September 30, 2026.

State banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid by banks to their shareholders. Dividends paid by City Bank would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause City Bank’s capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements.

11. DERIVATIVES

The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset-liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. These interest rate swaps are designated and qualify as fair value hedges and are entered into to reduce exposure to changes in fair value of fixed rate financial instruments. The notional amounts of the interest rate swaps do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amounts and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements.

The following table reflects the changes in fair value hedges included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

13. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments are components of a business about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Company’s reportable banking segment is determined by its President, who is the designated CODM. City Bank is the only significant subsidiary upon which the CODM makes decisions regarding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Individual bank branches offer a group of similar services, including commercial, real estate and consumer loans, time deposits, checking and savings accounts, all with similar operating and economic characteristics. While the CODM monitors the revenue streams of the various products, services, and branch locations, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the community banking services and branch locations are considered by management to be aggregated into one reportable operating segment, banking. Loans, investments, and deposits provide the significant revenues and interest expense, provision for credit losses and salaries and employee benefits comprise the significant expenses within the banking segment. All significant revenues and expenses mentioned above are shown individually on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

14. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability is not adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are: (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact.

Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach are required by GAAP. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset. Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

●

Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

●

Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

●

Level 3 Inputs - Significant unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

The following table summarizes fair value measurements as of the dates indicated below (dollars in thousands):

Securities – Fair value is calculated based on market prices of similar securities using matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique commonly used to price debt securities that are not actively traded.

Mortgage servicing rights – Mortgage servicing rights are reported at fair value using Level 3 inputs. The mortgage servicing rights asset is valued by projecting net servicing cash flows, which are then discounted to estimate the fair value. The fair value of the mortgage servicing rights asset is impacted by a variety of factors, including prepayment speeds, default rates, and discount rates, which are significant unobservable inputs. Mortgage servicing rights are the only Level 3 asset measured at fair value on a recurring basis, see Note 6 for the Level 3 change activity for each of the three and nine months September 30, 2026 and 2025.

Derivatives – Fair value of derivatives is based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date.

Loans held for investment – Includes certain collateral-dependent loans which are reported at fair value, for which a specific allocation of the allowance for credit losses is based off of the underlying collateral, less estimated disposal costs, if repayment is expected solely from the sale of the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 2 inputs based on observable market data or Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria.

Fair Values of Assets Recorded on a Recurring Basis for which the Fair Value Option has been Elected

Loans held for sale (mandatory) – Loans held for sale originated for mandatory delivery are reported at fair value on a recurring basis due to the Company’s election to adopt fair value accounting treatment for these assets. This election allows for a more effective offset of the changes in fair values of the assets and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without the burden of complying with the requirements for hedge accounting under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. For assets for which the fair value option has been elected, the earned current contractual interest payment is recognized in interest income, loan origination costs and fees on fair value option loans are recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. At September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, there were no gains or losses recorded attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk. Fair value is determined using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the aggregate fair value of loans held for sale for mandatory delivery was $8.0 million and $7.8 million, respectively. The aggregate unpaid principal balance as of the same dates was $8.1 million and $7.6 million, respectively, representing differences between fair value and unpaid principal balance of $(89) thousand and $152 thousand, respectively. The Company had no loans held for sale for mandatory delivery designated as nonaccrual or 90 days or more past due at each of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The total fair value option impact on noninterest income for loans held for sale for mandatory delivery is included in Net gain on sales of loans in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). For each of the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the net (gain) loss amount totaled $433 thousand and $181 thousand, respectively. For each of the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the net (gain) loss amount totaled $310 thousand and $18 thousand, respectively.

The following table presents quantitative information about recurring and non-recurring Level 3 fair value measurements at the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q contains statements that we believe are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “might,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “strive,” “projection,” “goal,” “target,” “outlook,” “aim,” “would,” “annualized” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties that are difficult to predict.

Recent Developments

Mergers and Acquisitions

On April 1, 2026, SPFI acquired BOH in an all-stock transaction through the merger of BOH with and into SPFI, with SPFI surviving the merger (the “Merger”). Immediately after the Merger, Bank of Houston, a Texas state banking association and wholly-owned subsidiary of BOH, merged with and into City Bank, with City Bank surviving the merger. At March 31, 2026, BOH had approximately $685.0 million in assets, $631.9 million in total gross loans, and $595.6 million in deposits. The total aggregate consideration delivered to holders of BOH common stock was approximately 2.8 million shares of SPFI common stock.

For further information regarding the BOH acquisition, see Note 2 in the Notes to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Report.

Results of Operations

We had net income of $20.8 million, or $1.06 per diluted common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to net income of $16.3 million, or $0.96 per diluted common share for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Return on average equity (annualized) was 13.15% and return on average assets (annualized) was 1.53% for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to 13.89% and 1.47%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Details of the changes in the various components are further discussed below.

We had net income of $54.3 million, or $2.89 per diluted common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to net income of $43.2 million, or $2.55 per diluted common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Return on average equity (annualized) was 12.43% and return on average assets (annualized) was 1.43% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to 12.78% and 1.33%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Details of the changes in the various components are further discussed below.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the principal source of the Company’s net income and represents the difference between interest income (interest and fees earned on assets, primarily loans and investment securities) and interest expense (interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds). We generate interest income from interest-earning assets that we own, including loans and investment securities. We incur interest expense from interest-bearing liabilities, including interest-bearing deposits and other borrowings, notably Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (“FHLB”) advances and subordinated notes. To evaluate net interest income, we measure and monitor (i) yields on our loans and other interest-earning assets, (ii) the costs of our deposits and other funding sources, (iii) our net interest spread and (iv) our net interest margin. Net interest spread is the difference between rates earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is calculated as the annualized net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis divided by average interest-earning assets.

Changes in the market interest rates and interest rates we earn on interest-earning assets or pay on interest-bearing liabilities, as well as the volume and types of interest-earning assets, interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing liabilities, are usually the largest drivers of periodic changes in net interest spread, net interest margin and net interest income.

The following tables present, for the periods indicated, information about: (i) weighted average balances, the total dollar amount of interest income from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields; (ii) average balances, the total dollar amount of interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant average rates; (iii) net interest income; (iv) the interest rate spread; and (v) the net interest margin. For purposes of this table, interest income, net interest margin and net interest spread are shown on a fully tax-equivalent basis.

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was $51.5 million, compared to $43.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $8.4 million, or 19.6%, and was comprised of an increase of $11.9 million in interest income, partially offset by an increase of $3.4 million in interest expense. The growth in interest income was primarily attributable to an increase of $11.6 million in loan interest income, which was a result of growth of $753.9 million in average loans outstanding, partially offset by a decrease of 17 basis points in the yield on loans due to a decline in market interest rates. The $3.4 million increase in interest expense was primarily related to an increase of $744.1 million in average interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a decrease of 14 basis points in the interest rate paid on these deposits over the same period in 2025. Additionally, average noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $99.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in loans and deposits was largely attributable to the BOH acquisition as well as organic growth.

For the three months ended September 30, 2026, net interest margin and net interest spread were 4.00% and 3.15%, respectively, compared to 4.05% and 3.08%, respectively, for the same period in 2025, which reflects the changes in interest income and interest expense discussed above.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $144.7 million, compared to $124.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $20.6 million, or 16.6%, and was comprised of an increase of $25.5 million in interest income, partially offset by an increase of $4.9 million in interest expense. The growth in interest income was largely attributable to increases of $23.9 million in loan interest income and $2.8 million in interest income on other interest-earning assets. The increase in loan interest income resulted from growth of $497.5 million in average loans outstanding, partially offset by a decrease of 6 basis points in the yield on loans. The increase in interest income on other interest-earning assets was primarily due to an increase of $180.6 million in average other interest-bearing assets, partially offset by a decline of 59 basis points in the interest rate paid on those assets based on a reduction in market interest rates during the compared periods. The $4.9 million increase in interest expense was primarily related to an increase of $537.7 million in average interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a 19 basis point decrease in the rate paid on these deposits over the same period in 2025. The increase in interest expense on deposits was partially offset by a reduction of $1.8 million in interest expense as a result of the redemption of $50 million in subordinated debt securities on September 30, 2025. The increase in loans and deposits was largely attributable to the BOH acquisition as well as organic growth.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, net interest margin and net interest spread were 4.01% and 3.16%, respectively, compared to 3.98% and 3.02%, respectively, for the same period in 2025, which reflects the changes in interest income and interest expense discussed above.

Provision for Credit Losses

Credit risk is inherent in the business of making loans. We establish an allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) through charges to earnings, which are shown in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) as the provision for credit losses. Credit losses on loans are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. The provision for credit losses is determined by conducting a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of our ACL and charging the shortfall or excess, if any, to the current quarter’s expense. This has the effect of creating variability in the amount and frequency of charges to our earnings. The provision for credit losses and the amount of allowance for each period are dependent upon many factors, including loan growth, net charge offs, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, delinquencies, management’s assessment of the quality of the loan portfolio, the valuation of problem loans and the general economic conditions in our market areas.

The provision for credit losses for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was $830 thousand, compared to $500 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in provision was primarily attributable to loan growth that occurred during the third quarter of 2026 compared to loan contraction experienced in the third quarter of 2025.

The provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $1.4 million, compared to $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in provision was largely attributable to several credit quality downgrades that occurred during the first two quarters of 2025.

The provision for credit losses is a significant factor in the Company’s operating results. For further discussion regarding the provision for credit losses and management’s assessment of the adequacy of the ACL for loans, see “Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans” and “Asset Quality” under “Financial Condition” in this Item 2, below.

Noninterest Income

While interest income remains the largest single component of total revenues, noninterest income is an important contributing component. The largest portion of our noninterest income is associated with our mortgage banking activities. Other sources of noninterest income include service charges on deposit accounts, and bank card services and interchange fees.

The following table sets forth the major components of our noninterest income for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended September 30,							Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2026		2025		Increase (decrease)			2026		2025		Increase (decrease)
	(Dollars in thousands)
Noninterest income:
Service charges on deposit accounts	$	2,531	$	2,266	$	265		$	7,152	$	6,505	$	647
Bank card services and interchange fees		3,542		3,403		139			10,868		10,553		315
Mortgage banking activities		4,878		2,575		2,303			13,643		8,294		5,349
Investment commissions		593		428		165			1,614		1,288		326
Fiduciary income		855		729		126			2,446		2,161		285
Other income and fees(1)		1,411		1,764		(353	)		3,525		5,154		(1,629	)
Total noninterest income	$	13,810	$	11,165	$	2,645		$	39,248	$	33,955	$	5,293

(1)

Other income and fees includes income and fees associated with the increase in the cash surrender value of life insurance, safe deposit box rental, check printing, collections, legal settlements, wire transfer, Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) investments, income from sweep accounts, and other miscellaneous services.

Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was $13.8 million, compared to $11.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $2.6 million, or 23.7%. Significant changes in the components of noninterest income are detailed below.

Service charges on deposit accounts - Income from service charges on deposit accounts increased $265 thousand, or 11.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was largely attributable to continued focus on treasury management, deposit growth, and the BOH acquisition.

Mortgage banking activities - Income from mortgage banking activities increased $2.3 million, or 89.4%, to $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 from $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. This increase was partially the result of a $1.6 million positive fair value adjustment to our mortgage servicing rights portfolio in the third quarter of 2026 compared to a negative fair value adjustment of $925 thousand in the third quarter of 2025. The fair value of the mortgage servicing rights portfolio is affected by movements in market interest rates, which increased during the third quarter of 2026 as compared to decreasing during the third quarter of 2025. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in other mortgage income related to a decrease in originations of loans held for sale in the third quarter of 2026 as compared to the same period of 2025.

Other income and fees - Other income and fees decreased $353 thousand, or 20.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily the result of decreases of $103 thousand in income on sweep accounts and $62 thousand in income from SBIC investments in the third quarter of 2026.

Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $39.2 million, compared to $34.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $5.3 million, or 15.6%. Significant changes in the components of noninterest income are detailed below.

Service charges on deposit accounts - Income from service charges on deposit accounts increased $647 thousand, or 9.9%, to $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was largely attributable to continued focus on treasury management, deposit growth, and the BOH acquisition.

Mortgage banking activities - Income from mortgage banking activities increased $5.3 million, or 64.5%, to $13.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This increase was mainly the result of a $2.3 million positive fair value adjustment to our mortgage servicing rights portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to a negative fair value adjustment of $2.7 million for the same period in 2025. The fair value of the mortgage servicing rights portfolio is affected by movements in market interest rates, which increased during the first three quarters of 2026 as compared to decreases in the same period within 2025.

Other income and fees - Other income and fees decreased $1.6 million, or 31.6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily the result of a decreases of $559 thousand in income from SBIC investments, $244 thousand in income on sweep accounts, and $165 thousand on gains on sales of fixed assets in the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was $38.1 million compared to $33.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $5.0 million, or 15.3%. Significant changes in the components of noninterest expense are detailed below.

Salaries and employee benefits - Salaries and employee benefits increased $3.0 million, or 15.3%, from $19.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 to $22.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026. This increase was primarily driven by recurring core personnel expenses related to the BOH acquisition and annual salary adjustments.

Occupancy and equipment, net - Occupancy expenses increased $344 thousand or 8.5%, from $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 to $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026. This increase was primarily related to new core costs related to the BOH acquisition.

Professional services - Professional services increased $647 thousand, or 50.0% from $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 to $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026. This increase was driven by an increase of $276 thousand in legal fees during the third quarter of 2026, mainly related to collection efforts on problem loans. The remaining increase was primarily related to consulting services for technology initiatives and new core costs related to the BOH acquisition.

IT and data services - IT and data services increased $451 thousand or 38.1%, to $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 from $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. This increase was largely related to rising software costs, costs related to the implementation of a new loan origination system, and new core costs related to the BOH acquisition.

Other expenses - Other expenses increased $416 thousand, or 9.3%, from $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 to $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026. This was primarily the result of new core expenses after the BOH acquisition.

Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $113.5 million, compared to $99.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $13.9 million, or 13.9%. Significant changes in the components of noninterest expense are detailed below. There was a total of $2.6 million of acquisition related expenses recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2026. This total was comprised of $708 thousand in personnel expenses, $1.2 million in professional services expense, and $693 thousand in data conversion expenses.

Salaries and employee benefits - Salaries and employee benefits increased $7.5 million, or 12.8%, from $58.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to $66.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. This increase was primarily driven by personnel expenses related to the BOH acquisition - both recurring core and one-time expenses, annual salary adjustments and new lender hires during the last twelve months.

Occupancy and equipment, net - Occupancy expenses increased $628 thousand, or 5.2%, from $12.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to $12.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. This increase was primarily related to new costs related to the BOH acquisition.

Professional services - Professional services increased $1.8 million, or 37.7% from $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. This increase was primarily driven by $1.2 million of BOH acquisition-related expenses in the first quarter of 2026 and an increase in legal fees related to collection efforts on problem loans in the third quarter of 2026.

IT and data services - IT and data services increased $1.5 million, or 41.2%, from $3.5 million for nine months ended September 30, 2025 to $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. The increase is primarily a result of new core costs related to the BOH acquisition. Additionally, there has been continued rising cost of technology services and new costs related to the implementation of a new loan origination system.

Other expenses - Other expenses increased $1.8 million, or 13.9%, from $13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to $14.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. This was primarily the result of increases for data conversion expenses related to the BOH acquisition and new core expenses related to the BOH acquisition.

Financial Condition

Our total assets increased $930.4 million, or 20.8%, to $5.41 billion at September 30, 2026, compared to $4.48 billion at December 31, 2025. Our loans held for investment increased $686.6 million, or 21.8%, to $3.83 billion at September 30, 2026, compared to $3.14 billion at December 31, 2025. Our securities portfolio decreased $49.2 million, or 8.7%, to $518.3 million at September 30, 2026, compared to $567.5 million at December 31, 2025. Total deposits increased $786.6 million, or 20.3%, to $4.66 billion at September 30, 2026, compared to $3.87 billion at December 31, 2025.

Loan Portfolio

Our loans represent the largest portion of earning assets, greater than our securities portfolio or any other asset category, and the quality and diversification of the loan portfolio is an important consideration when reviewing the Company’s financial condition. We originate substantially all of the loans in our portfolio, except certain loan participations that are independently underwritten by the Company prior to purchase.

Loans held for investment increased $686.6 million, or 21.8%, to $3.83 billion at September 30, 2026, compared to $3.14 billion at December 31, 2025. The increase in loans was primarily a result of an increase of $631.9 million in loans from the BOH acquisition and from organic loan growth.

The following table shows the contractual maturities of our loans held for investment portfolio at September 30, 2026:

	Due in One Year or Less		Due after One Year Through Five Years		Due after Five Years Through Fifteen Years		Due after Fifteen Years		Total
	(Dollars in thousands)
Commercial real estate	$	310,135	$	740,350	$	263,594	$	50,317	$	1,364,396

The following table shows the distribution between fixed and adjustable interest rate loans for maturities greater than one year as of September 30, 2026:


	Fixed Rate		Adjustable Rate
	(Dollars in thousands)
Commercial real estate	$	346,168	$	708,093
Commercial - specialized		116,674		188,519

Total loans	$	1,428,085	$	1,599,673

At September 30, 2026, there was $2.03 billion in adjustable rate loans, with $839.0 million of these loans that mature or reprice in the next twelve months. Of these loans that mature or reprice in the next twelve months, $787.9 million will reprice immediately upon changes in the underlying index rate, with the remaining $51.1 million being subject to rate ceilings, floors above the current index or a future repricing date. The Wall Street Journal prime rate is the predominate index used by the Bank.

The Bank is primarily involved in real estate, commercial, agricultural and consumer lending activities with customers throughout Texas and Eastern New Mexico. We have a collateral concentration, as 74.8% of our loans were secured by real property as of September 30, 2026, compared to 71.6% as of December 31, 2025. We believe that these loans are not concentrated in any one single property type and that they are geographically dispersed throughout the areas we serve. Although the Bank has diversified portfolios, its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is substantially dependent upon the general economic conditions of the markets in which it operates, which consist primarily of agribusiness, wholesale/retail, oil and gas and related businesses, healthcare industries and institutions of higher education. Commercial real estate loans and residential construction loans represent 39.7% of loans held for investment as of September 30, 2026 and represented 37.0% of loans held for investment as of December 31, 2025. Further, 96% of the total dollar amount of these loans are secured by collateral located in the State of Texas.

We have established concentration limits in the loan portfolio for commercial real estate loans and unsecured lending, among other loan types. All loan types are within established limits. We use underwriting guidelines to assess the borrowers’ historical cash flow to determine debt service, and we further stress test the debt service under higher interest rate scenarios. Financial and performance covenants are used in commercial lending to allow us to react to a borrower’s deteriorating financial condition, should that occur.

Commercial Real Estate. Our commercial real estate portfolio includes loans for commercial property that is owned by real estate investors, construction loans to build owner-occupied properties, and loans to developers of commercial real estate investment properties and residential developments. Residential construction loans are broken out separately below. Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to our commercial loans. These loans are underwritten primarily based on projected cash flows for income-producing properties and collateral values for non-income-producing properties. The repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loans or the sale or refinancing of the property. Real estate loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The properties securing our real estate portfolio are diversified by type and geographic location. This diversity helps reduce the exposure to adverse economic events that affect any single market or industry.

Commercial real estate loans increased $299.8 million, or 28.2%, to $1.36 billion as of September 30, 2026 from $1.06 billion as of December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to increases broadly across this segment related to the BOH acquisition.

Commercial – General and Specialized. Commercial loans are underwritten after evaluating and understanding the borrower’s ability to operate profitably. Underwriting standards have been designed to determine whether the borrower possesses sound business ethics and practices, to evaluate current and projected cash flows to determine the ability of the borrower to repay their obligations as agreed, and to ensure appropriate collateral is obtained to secure the loan. Commercial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and, secondarily, on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets, such as real estate, accounts receivable, or inventory, and typically include personal guarantees. Owner-occupied real estate is included in commercial loans, as the repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the operations of the commercial borrower’s business rather than on income-producing properties or the sale of the properties. Commercial loans are grouped into two distinct sub-categories: specialized and general. Commercial related loans that are considered “specialized” include agricultural production and real estate loans, energy loans, and finance, investment, and insurance loans. Commercial related loans that contain a broader diversity of borrowers, sub-industries, or serviced industries are grouped into the “general category.” These include goods, services, restaurant & retail, construction, and other industries. Performance of these loans is subject to operating and cash flow results of the borrower, with risk in the volatility of operating results for particular industries.

Commercial specialized loans increased $25.7 million, or 6.3%, to $435.1 million as of September 30, 2026 from $409.4 million as of December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to increases in loans to finance and investment companies as a result of the BOH acquisition.

Commercial general loans increased $176.0 million, or 26.7%, to $835.3 million as of September 30, 2026 from $659.3 million as of December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to increases broadly across this segment related to the BOH acquisition.

Consumer. We utilize a computer-based credit scoring analysis to supplement our policies and procedures in underwriting consumer loans. Our loan policy addresses types of consumer loans that may be originated and the collateral, if secured, which must be perfected. The relatively smaller individual dollar amounts of consumer loans that are spread over numerous individual borrowers also minimize our risk. Residential real estate loans are included in consumer loans. We generally require mortgage title insurance and hazard insurance on these residential real estate loans. All consumer loans are generally dependent on the risk characteristics of the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, a consideration of the debt-to-income ratio, employment and income stability, the loan-to-value ratio, and the age, condition and marketability of the collateral.

Consumer and other loans increased $131.6 million, or 14.4%, to $1.04 billion as of September 30, 2026, from $911.1 million as of December 31, 2025. The growth in these loans was primarily a result of an increase of $121.8 million in residential mortgage loans, mostly related to the BOH acquisition. In addition, there was an $11.5 million increase in auto loans. As of September 30, 2026, our consumer loan portfolio was comprised of $711.7 million in 1-4 family residential loans, $270.7 million in auto loans, and $60.3 million in other consumer loans.

Construction. Loans for residential construction are for single-family properties to developers, builders, or end-users. These loans are underwritten based on estimates of costs and completed value of the project. Funds are advanced based on estimated percentage of completion for the project. Performance of these loans is affected by economic conditions as well as the ability to control costs of the projects.

Construction loans increased $53.6 million, or 53.6%, to $153.7 million as of September 30, 2026 from $100.1 million as of December 31, 2025. This increase was primarily due to the BOH acquisition.

The commercial real estate and construction categories comprise the Company’s nonowner-occupied real estate loans. Total nonowner-occupied real estate loans were $1.52 billion at September 30, 2026 and $1.16 billion at December 31, 2025. Nonowner-occupied commercial real estate loans are made up of income-producing commercial real estate property loans and construction, acquisition, and development property loans. As of September 30, 2026, total income-producing commercial real estate property loans totaled $1.04 billion and was comprised of $212.8 million of multi-family property loans, $286.7 million of retail property loans, $186.9 million of office property loans, $194.0 in industrial and warehouse loans, $64.2 million in storage facilities loans, $42.8 million in hospitality loans, and $53.2 million in other property loans. Other property loans include types such as RV parks and convenience stores. As of September 30, 2026, total construction, acquisition, and development property loans totaled $477.4 million and was comprised of $153.7 million in residential construction property loans and $323.6 million of commercial construction and other land development loans. The weighted average loan-to-value of income-producing nonowner-occupied commercial real estate loans was approximately 57% at September 30, 2026. The weighted average loan-to-value of nonowner-occupied office commercial real estate loans was approximately 55% at September 30, 2026.

Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans totaled $557.9 million at September 30, 2026 and $419.0 million at December 31, 2025.

We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit to our customers is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are not recorded as an asset or liability by the Company until the instrument is exercised. The contractual or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement we have in particular classes of financial instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as they do for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount and nature of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the potential borrower.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private short-term borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company holds collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.

The following table summarizes commitments we have made as of the dates presented.


	September 30, 2026		December 31, 2025
	(Dollars in thousands)
Commitments to grant loans and unfunded commitments under lines of credit	$	721,322	$	554,286
Standby letters of credit		38,116		30,681
Total	$	759,438	$	584,967

Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans

The ACL for loans is established for future expected credit losses through a provision for credit losses charged to earnings. Management evaluates the appropriate level of the ACL on a quarterly basis. The analysis takes into consideration the results of an ongoing loan review process, the purpose of which is to determine the level of credit risk within the portfolio and to ensure proper adherence to underwriting and documentation standards. Additional allowances are provided to those loans which appear to represent a greater than normal exposure to risk. The quality of the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the ACL is assessed by regulatory examinations and the Company’s internal and external loan reviews. The ACL consists of two elements: (1) specific valuation allowances established for expected losses on specifically analyzed loans and (2) collective valuation allowances calculated using comparable and quantifiable information from both internal and external sources about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans and adjusted for expected prepayments.

To determine the adequacy of the ACL on loans, the Company applied a dual credit risk rating (“DCRR”) methodology that estimates each loan’s probability of default and loss given default to calculate the expected credit loss to non-analyzed loans. The DCRR process quantifies the expected credit loss at the loan level for the entire loan portfolio. Loan grades are assigned by a customized scorecard that risk rates each loan based on multiple probability of default and loss given default elements to measure the risk of the loan portfolio. The ACL estimate incorporates the Company’s DCRR loan level risk rating methodology and the expected default rate frequency term structure to derive loan level life of loan estimates of credit losses for every loan in the portfolio. The estimated credit loss for each loan is adjusted based on one-year through the cycle estimate of expected credit loss to a life of loan measurement that reflects current conditions and forecasts. The life of loan expected loss is determined using the contractual weighted average life of the loan adjusted for prepayments. Prepayment speeds are determined by grouping the loans into pools based on segments and risk rating. After the life of loan expected losses are determined, they are adjusted to reflect the Company’s reasonable and supportable economic forecast over a selected range of a one to two years. The Company has developed regression models to project net charge-off rates based on macroeconomic variables (“MEVs”), typically a one-year period is used. MEV’s considered in the analysis consist of data gathered from the St. Louis Federal Reserve Research Database (“FRED”), such as, federal funds rate, 10-year treasury rates, 30-year mortgage rates, crude oil prices, consumer price index, housing price index, unemployment rates, housing starts, gross domestic product, and disposable personal income. These regression models are applied to the Company’s economic forecast to determine the corresponding net charge-off rates. The projected net charge-off rates for the given economic scenario are used to adjust the through the cycle expected losses. Qualitative adjustments are also made to ACL results for additional risk factors that are relevant in assessing the expected credit losses within our loan segments. These qualitative factor (“Q-Factor”) adjustments may increase or decrease management’s estimate of the ACL by a calculated percentage based upon the estimated level of perceived risk within a particular segment. Q-Factor risk decisions consider concentrations of the loan portfolio, expected changes to the economic forecasts, large relationships, and other factors related to credit administration, such as borrower’s risk rating and the potential effect of delayed credit score migrations. Management quantifiably identifies segment percentage Q-Factor adjustments using a scorecard risk rating system scaled to historical loss experience within a segment and management’s perceived risk for that particular segment. In addition to the loan level evaluations, nonaccrual loans with a balance of $250 thousand or more are individually analyzed based on facts and circumstances of the loan to determine if a specific allowance amount may be necessary. Specific allowances may also be established for loans whose outstanding balances are below the above threshold when it is determined that the risk associated with the loan differs significantly from the risk factor amounts established for its loan category.

The ACL for loans was $52.8 million at September 30, 2026, compared to $45.1 million at December 31, 2025, an increase of $7.6 million, or 16.9%. The increase was largely driven by $8.5 million of ACL recorded for loans acquired in the BOH acquisition and a $1.4 million provision for ACL being recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, partially offset by net charge-offs of $2.2 million during the period. The Company continues to closely monitor asset quality in light of the current economic environment in the U.S. and our market areas including, among other things, the rising market interest rate environment, the lingering inflationary pressures in the United States, evolving U.S. trade and tariff policies, ongoing military conflicts and geopolitical instability. Accordingly, additional provisions for credit losses may be necessary in future periods.

The following table provides an analysis of the ACL for loans and other data during the periods indicated.

Asset Quality

Loans are considered delinquent when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more. Delinquent loans may remain on accrual status between 30 days and 90 days past due. Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as nonaccrual loans. Typically, the accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when principal or interest payments are past due 90 days or when, in the opinion of management, there is a reasonable doubt as to collectability in the normal course of business. When loans are placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Income on nonaccrual loans is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash is received and the loan’s principal balance is deemed collectible. Loans are restored to accrual status when loans become well-secured and management believes full collectability of principal and interest is probable.

Loans that exhibit characteristics different from their pool characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not included in the collective ACL evaluation. Income from loans on nonaccrual status is recognized to the extent cash is received and when the loan’s principal balance is deemed collectible. Depending on a particular loan’s circumstances, we analyze loans for specific allowance based upon either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell if the loan is collateral dependent. A loan is considered collateral dependent when repayment of the loan is based solely on the liquidation of the collateral. Fair value, where possible, is determined by independent appraisals, typically on an annual basis. Between appraisal periods, the fair value may be adjusted based on specific events, such as if deterioration of quality of the collateral comes to our attention as part of our problem loan monitoring process, or if discussions with the borrower lead us to believe the last appraised value no longer reflects the actual market for the collateral. The specific allowance amount on a collateral-dependent loan is charged-off to the allowance if deemed not collectible and the impairment amount on a loan that is not collateral-dependent is set up as a specific reserve.

Real estate we acquire as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is classified as other real estate owned (“OREO”) until sold and is initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. OREO and repossessed assets are reported as foreclosed assets.

Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more. Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans plus foreclosed assets.

At September 30, 2026, our total nonaccrual loans were $13.4 million, or 0.35% of total loans held for investment, as compared to $7.1 million, or 0.22% of total loans held for investment, at December 31, 2025. Any loans within this amount that exceeded $250 thousand were specifically analyzed and specific valuation allowances were established as necessary and included in the ACL for loans to cover any probable loss. This increase of $6.3 million was predominantly due to two loan relationships totaling $7.3 million being placed on nonaccrual status during the third quarter of 2026. The largest of these relationships returned to performing status in October 2026.

Nonperforming loans were $15.3 million at September 30, 2026, as compared to $9.8 million at December 31, 2025. This increase is largely due to the nonaccrual changes noted above.

Occasionally, the Company modifies loans to borrowers in financial distress by providing principal forgiveness, term extensions, an other than insignificant payment delay, or interest rate reduction. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged-off against the ACL for loans. Typically, one type of concession, such as term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession, such as principal forgiveness, may be granted. In some cases, the Company provides multiple types of concessions on one loan. The Company closely monitors the performance of loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. Upon the Company’s determination that a modified loan has subsequently been deemed to not be fully collectible, the uncollectible amount is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the ACL for loans is adjusted by the same amount.

If a borrower on a modified accruing loan has demonstrated performance under the previous terms, is not experiencing financial difficulty and shows the capacity to continue to perform under the restructured terms, the loan will remain on accrual status. Otherwise, the loan will be placed on nonaccrual status until the borrower demonstrates a sustained period of performance, which generally requires six consecutive months of payments.

Securities Portfolio

The securities portfolio is the second largest component of the Company’s interest-earning assets, and the structure and composition of this portfolio is important to an analysis of the financial condition of the Company. The securities portfolio serves the following purposes: (i) it provides a source of pledged assets for securing certain deposits and borrowed funds, as may be required by law or by specific agreement with a depositor or lender; (ii) it provides liquidity to even out cash flows from the loan and deposit activities of customers; (iii) it can be used as an interest rate risk management tool, since it provides a large base of assets, the maturity and interest rate characteristics of which can be changed more readily than the loan portfolio to better match changes in the deposit base and other funding sources of the Company; and (iv) it is an alternative interest-earning asset when loan demand is weak or when deposits grow more rapidly than loans.

The securities portfolio consists of securities classified as either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. Securities consist primarily of state and municipal securities, mortgage-backed securities and U.S. government sponsored agency securities. We determine the appropriate classification at the time of purchase. All held-to-maturity securities are reported at amortized cost, adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. All available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value.

Total securities at September 30, 2026 were $518.3 million, representing a decrease of $49.2 million, or 8.7%, compared to $567.5 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to $24.2 million in maturities, net of purchases, prepayments and calls, partially offset by $6.8 million in securities acquired from BOH, and a $30.0 million decrease in the fair value of securities available for sale at September 30, 2026 as compared to December 31, 2025. The $30.0 million decrease resulted from increased longer-term interest rates primarily in the third quarter of 2026.

Certain securities have fair values less than amortized cost and, therefore, contain unrealized losses. At September 30, 2026, the fair value of the Company’s securities available for sale was $100.0 million lower than the amortized cost. At September 30, 2026, the Company evaluated whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. Within this evaluation, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. Based on management’s evaluation no unrealized losses on securities were determined to be due to credit loss. Additionally, we anticipate full recovery of amortized cost with respect to these securities by maturity, or sooner in the event of a more favorable market interest rate environment. We do not intend to sell these securities and it is not probable that we will be required to sell them before recovery of the amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity, thus no ACL or losses have been recognized or realized in the consolidated financial statements for securities in the portfolio.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding contractual maturities and the weighted average yields of our investment securities as of the dates presented. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities if borrowers have the right to call or prepay an obligation with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Deposits

Deposits represent the Company’s primary and most vital source of funds. We offer a variety of deposit products including demand deposits accounts, interest-bearing products, savings accounts and certificate of deposits. We put continued effort into gathering noninterest-bearing demand deposit accounts through loan production, customer referrals, marketing staffs, mobile and online banking and various involvements with community networks.

Total deposits at September 30, 2026 were $4.66 billion, representing an increase of $786.6 million, or 20.3%, compared to $3.87 billion at December 31, 2025. The increase since December 31, 2025 was largely due to $595.8 million of deposits acquired from BOH with additional organic growth and a seasonal increase in public fund deposits in both noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing deposits occurring broadly across retail and commercial deposits. As of September 30, 2026, 25.3% of total deposits were comprised of noninterest-bearing demand accounts, 62.6% of interest-bearing non-maturity accounts and 12.1% of time deposits.

Time deposits issued in amounts of more than $250 thousand represent the type of deposit most likely to affect the Company’s future earnings because of interest rate sensitivity. The effective cost of these funds is generally higher than other time deposits because the funds are usually obtained at premium rates of interest.

The scheduled maturities of time deposits of more than $250 thousand as of September 30, 2026 follows:




Three Months		Three to Six Months		Six to 12 Months		After 12 Months		Total
(Dollars in thousands)
$	58,829	$	54,130	$	35,135	$	8,796	$	156,890

The estimated amount of uninsured deposits as of September 30, 2026 was $1.83 billion. This represented approximately 39% of total deposits and excludes $437.5 million of collateralized public fund deposits.

Borrowed Funds

In addition to deposits, we may utilize advances from the FHLB and other borrowings as a supplementary funding source to finance our operations.

FHLB Advances. The FHLB allows us to borrow, both short and long-term, on a blanket floating lien status collateralized by first mortgage loans and commercial real estate loans as well as FHLB stock. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had total remaining borrowing capacity from the FHLB of $1.64 billion and $1.27 billion, respectively, with no outstanding balance. There were $15 million in FHLB advances assumed in the BOH acquisition. These advances had a weighted-average interest rate of 3.89% and were repaid in May of 2026. We had no other FHLB borrowings during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 or 2025.

The Company may use FHLB letters of credit to pledge to certain public deposits. There was no outstanding balance of FHLB letters of credit at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. The Bank has a line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas (the “FRB”). The amount of the line is determined on a monthly basis by the FRB. The line is collateralized by a blanket floating lien on all agriculture, commercial and consumer loans. The amount of the line was $807.6 million and $659.7 million at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, with no outstanding balance. We had no FRB borrowings during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 or 2025.

Lines of Credit. The Bank has uncollateralized lines of credit with multiple banks as a source of funding for liquidity management. The total amount of the lines was $140.0 million as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, with no outstanding balance. The lines were not used, other than overnight testing, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 or 2025.

Subordinated Debt. In December 2018, the Company issued $14.1 million of subordinated notes that have a maturity date of December 2030 and a weighted-average fixed rate of 6.41% for the first seven years. After the fixed rate period expired, these notes began floating at the Wall Street Journal prime rate, with a floor of 4.0% and a ceiling of 7.5%, resulting in a rate of 6.75% as of September 30, 2026. These notes pay interest quarterly, are unsecured, and may be called by the Company at any time after the remaining maturity is five years or less. Additionally, these notes are intended to qualify for Tier 2 capital treatment, subject to regulatory limitations. As of September 30, 2026, the total amount of subordinated debt outstanding was $14.1 million.

Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures and Trust Preferred Securities. Between March 2004 and June 2007, the Company formed three wholly-owned statutory business trusts solely for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities, the proceeds of which were invested in junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures. The trusts are not consolidated and the debentures issued by the Company to the trusts are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company records interest expense on the debentures in its consolidated financial statements. The amount of debentures outstanding was $46.4 million at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company has the right, as has been exercised in the past, to defer payments of interest on the securities for up to twenty consecutive quarters. During such time, corporate dividends may not be paid. The Company is current in its interest payments on the debentures.

The chart below indicates certain information, as of September 30, 2026, about each of the statutory trusts and the junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures, including the date the junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures were issued, outstanding amounts of trust preferred securities and junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures, the maturity date of the junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures, and the interest rates on the junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Liquidity refers to the measure of our ability to meet the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, while at the same time meeting our operating, capital and strategic cash flow needs, all at a reasonable cost. We continuously monitor our liquidity position to ensure that assets and liabilities are managed in a manner that will meet all short-term and long-term cash requirements. We manage our liquidity position to meet the daily cash flow needs of customers, while maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to meet the return on investment objectives of our shareholders.

Our liquidity position is supported by management of liquid assets and access to alternative sources of funds. Our liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits in correspondent banks, federal funds sold, and fair value of unpledged investment securities. Other available sources of liquidity include wholesale deposits, and additional borrowings from correspondent banks, FHLB advances, and the Federal Reserve discount window. At September 30, 2026, the Bank had the capacity to borrow funds from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve discount window of up to approximately $1.6 billion and $807.6 million, respectively.

Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are primarily met through cash flow from operations, redeployment of prepaying and maturing balances in our loan and investment portfolios, and increases in customer deposits. Other alternative sources of funds will supplement these primary sources to the extent necessary to meet additional liquidity requirements on either a short-term or long-term basis.

Capital

Total stockholders’ equity was $622.8 million as of September 30, 2026, compared to $493.8 million as of December 31, 2025, an increase of $128.9 million, or 26.1%. The increase from December 31, 2025 was primarily the result of $117.5 million in common stock issued related to the BOH acquisition and $54.3 million in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, partially offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) of $22.8 million related to fair value changes in available for sale securities and related fair value hedges, $9.4 million of dividends paid and $12.8 million in repurchases of common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking regulators. Failure to meet regulatory capital requirements may result in certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for “prompt corrective action” (described below), we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting policies. The capital amounts and classifications are subject to qualitative judgments by the federal banking regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Qualitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy required us to maintain minimum amounts and ratio of common equity tier 1 (“CET1”) capital, tier 1 capital and total capital to risk-weighted assets and of tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets, referred to as the “leverage ratio.”

The risk-based capital ratios measure the adequacy of a bank’s capital against the riskiness of its assets and off-balance sheet activities. Failure to maintain adequate capital is a basis for “prompt corrective action” or other regulatory enforcement action. In assessing a bank’s capital adequacy, regulators also consider other factors such as interest rate risk exposure; liquidity, funding and market risks; quality and level of earnings; concentrations of credit, quality of loans and investments; risks of any nontraditional activities; effectiveness of bank policies; and management’s overall ability to monitor and control risks.

As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, both SPFI and City Bank met all the capital adequacy requirements to which each was subject. At September 30, 2026, SPFI and City Bank were “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Management believes that no conditions or events have occurred since September 30, 2026 that would materially adversely change such capital classifications. From time to time, we may need to raise additional capital to support our and City Bank’s further growth and to maintain our “well capitalized” status.

The table below summarizes the capital requirements applicable to SPFI, on a consolidated basis, and City Bank in order to be considered “well capitalized” from a regulatory perspective, as well as SPFI and the Bank’s capital ratios as of the dates indicated.


	September 30, 2026					December 31 2025
	Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio
	(Dollars in thousands)
SPFI:
Total capital (to risk-weighted assets)	$	726,519		16.61	%	$	622,485		17.26	%

Community Bank Leverage Ratio

On September 17, 2019, the federal banking agencies jointly finalized a rule to be effective January 1, 2020 and intended to simplify the regulatory capital requirements described above for qualifying community banking organizations that opt into the Community Bank Leverage Ratio (“CBLR”) framework, as required by Section 201 of the EGRRCPA. The final rule became effective on January 1, 2020, and the CBLR framework became available for banks to use beginning with their March 31, 2020 Call Reports. Under the final rule, if a qualifying community banking organization opts into the CBLR framework and meets all requirements under the framework, it will be considered to have met the well-capitalized ratio requirements under the “prompt corrective action” regulations described above and will not be required to report or calculate risk-based capital. In order to qualify for the CBLR framework, a community banking organization must have a tier 1 leverage ratio of greater than 9%, less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets, and limited amounts of off-balance-sheet exposures and trading assets and liabilities. On April 23, 2026, the federal banking agencies finalized changes to encourage broader adoption of the framework by reducing the required leverage ratio from 9.0% to 8.0%. This change became effective on July 1, 2026. Although the Company and the Bank are qualifying community banking organizations, the Company and the Bank have elected not to opt in to the CBLR framework at this time and will continue to follow the requirements of the Basel III capital framework as described above.

Treasury Stock

We repurchased stock in accordance with our previously-announced stock repurchase program and also in a privately negotiated transaction during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. We did not repurchase any shares of common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2026. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we repurchased 310,965 shares of common stock for a total of $12.8 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, we did not repurchase any shares of common stock. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased 259,046 shares of common stock for a total of $8.5 million. These shares were retired immediately upon repurchase and not included in treasury stock. See Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds,” of this Form 10-Q for further information.

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk

As a financial institution, our primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Our interest rate risk policy provides management with the guidelines for effective funds management, and we have established a measurement system for monitoring our net interest rate sensitivity position. We have historically managed our sensitivity position within our established guidelines.

Interest rate sensitivity involves the relationships between rate-sensitive assets and liabilities and is an indication of the probable effects of interest rate fluctuations on the Company’s net interest income. Interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities are those with yields or rates that are subject to change within a future time period due to maturity or changes in market rates. The model is used to project future net interest income under a set of possible interest rate movements. The Company’s Investment/Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO Committee”) reviews this information to determine compliance with the limits set by the Bank’s board of directors.

Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of our assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those which have a short term to maturity. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time maximizing income.

We manage our exposure to interest rates by structuring our balance sheet in the ordinary course of business. Based upon the nature of our operations, we are not subject to foreign exchange or commodity price risk. We do not own any trading assets.

Our exposure to interest rate risk is managed by the ALCO Committee, in accordance with policies approved by the Bank’s board of directors. The ALCO Committee formulates strategies based on appropriate levels of interest rate risk. In determining the appropriate level of interest rate risk, the ALCO Committee considers the impact on earnings and capital on the current outlook on interest rates, potential changes in interest rates, regional economies, liquidity, business strategies and other factors. The ALCO Committee meets regularly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, the book and market values of assets and liabilities, commitments to originate loans and the maturities of investments and borrowings. Additionally, the ALCO Committee reviews liquidity, cash flow flexibility, maturities of deposits and consumer and commercial deposit activity. Management employs methodologies to manage interest rate risk, which include an analysis of relationships between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and an interest rate shock simulation model.

We use interest rate risk simulation models and shock analyses to test the interest rate sensitivity of net interest income and fair value of equity, and the impact of changes in interest rates on other financial metrics. Contractual maturities and re-pricing opportunities of loans are incorporated in the model. The average lives of non-maturity deposit accounts are based on decay assumptions and are incorporated into the model. All of the assumptions used in our analyses are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure future net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the model’s simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and the application and timing of various management strategies.

On a quarterly basis, we run a simulation model for a static balance sheet and other scenarios. These models test the impact on net interest income from changes in market interest rates under various scenarios. Under the static model, rates are shocked instantaneously and ramped rates change over a 12-month and 24-month horizon based upon parallel and non-parallel yield curve shifts. Parallel shock scenarios assume instantaneous parallel movements in the yield curve compared to a flat yield curve scenario. Non-parallel simulation involves analysis of interest income and expense under various changes in the shape of the yield curve. Our internal policy regarding internal rate risk simulations currently specifies that for gradual parallel shifts of the yield curve, estimated net interest income at risk for the subsequent one-year period should not decline by more than 7.5% for a 100 basis point shift, 15% for a 200 basis point shift, and 22.5% for a 300 basis point shift.

The following table summarizes the simulated change in net interest income over a 12-month horizon as of the dates indicated:


	September 30, 2026			December 31, 2025
Change in Interest Rates (Basis Points)	Percent Change in Net Interest Income			Percent Change in Net Interest Income
+300		(0.07	)		(3.03	)
+200		0.15			(1.91	)
+100		0.33			(0.89	)
-100		(1.81	)		(0.26	)
-200		(2.12	)		0.27

Impact of Inflation

Our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. GAAP requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative value of money over time due to inflation or recession.

The Company’s asset and liability structure is substantially different from that of an industrial company in that virtually all assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature. Management believes the impact of inflation on financial results depends upon the Company’s ability to react to changes in interest rates and by such reaction, reduce the inflationary impact on performance. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction, or at the same magnitude, as the prices of other goods and services. However, other operating expenses do reflect general levels of inflation. Management seeks to manage the relationship between interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against wide net interest income fluctuations, including those resulting from inflation. Various information shown elsewhere in this Report will assist in the understanding of how well the Company is positioned to react to changing interest rates and inflationary trends. In particular, additional information related to the Company’s interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities is contained in this Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Report under the heading “Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, we also evaluate our performance based on certain additional financial measures discussed in this Report as being non-GAAP financial measures. We classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time in the U.S. in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), balance sheets or statements of cash flows. Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating and other statistical measures or ratios or statistical measures calculated using exclusively either financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, operating measures or other measures that are not non-GAAP financial measures or both.

The non-GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this Report should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non-GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this Report may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. It is important to understand how other banking organizations calculate their financial measures with names similar to the non-GAAP financial measures we have discussed in this Report when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.

Tangible Book Value Per Common Share. Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP measure generally used by investors, financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible book value per common share is book value per common share. We believe that the tangible book value per common share measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes from period to period in book value per common share exclusive of changes in intangible assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing total book value while not increasing our tangible book value.

Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets. Tangible common equity to tangible assets is a non-GAAP measure generally used by investors, financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate tangible common equity, as described above, and tangible assets as total assets less goodwill, core deposit intangibles and other intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible common equity to tangible assets is total common stockholders’ equity to total assets. We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period of tangible common equity to tangible assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing both total stockholders’ equity and assets while not increasing our tangible common equity or tangible assets.

The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, total stockholders’ equity to tangible common equity and total assets to tangible assets and then presents book value per common share, tangible book value per common share, total stockholders’ equity to total assets, and tangible common equity to tangible assets:

	September 30, 2026			December 31, 2025

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP and conform to general practices within the industry in which we operate. To prepare consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates, assumptions and judgments based on available information. These estimates, assumptions and judgments affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and, as this information changes, actual results could differ from the estimates, assumptions and judgments reflected in the consolidated financial statements. In particular, management has identified several accounting policies that, due to the estimates, assumptions and judgments inherent in those policies, are critical in understanding our consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis.

The following is a discussion of the critical accounting policies and significant estimates that we believe require us to make the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments. Additional information about these policies can be found in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans. The ACL for loans is established for future expected credit losses through a provision for credit losses charged to earnings. Expected losses are calculated using comparable and quantifiable information both internal and external about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans and adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The ACL for loans is affected by charge-offs, recoveries and the provision for credit losses on loans.

The ACL for loans is evaluated on a quarterly basis by management and is based upon management’s review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The determination of the adequacy of the ACL for loans is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply judgment in evaluating its controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On February 23, 2026, the Company’s board of directors approved a new stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, purchase up to $10.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock (the “Program”).

Under the Program, the Company may repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time through various means, including open market purchases and privately negotiated transactions. Open market repurchases will be conducted in accordance with the limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and other applicable legal requirements. Repurchases under the Program may also be made pursuant to a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, which would permit shares to be repurchased by the Company when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so because of self-imposed trading blackout periods or other regulatory restrictions. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, and the manner, timing and amount of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including the performance of the Company’s stock price, general market and economic conditions, regulatory requirements, availability of funds, and other relevant considerations, as determined by the Company. The Company may, in its discretion, begin, suspend or terminate repurchases at any time prior to the Program’s expiration, without any prior notice. The Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any particular number or amount of shares of the Company’s common stock and there is no guarantee as to the exact number or value of shares that will be repurchased by the Company under the Program.

The following table summarizes the share repurchase activity under the Program for the three months ended September 30, 2026.
