| Loans And Allowance For Credit Losses | Note 8 – Loans and allowance for credit losses The Company’s primary portfolio segments align with the methodology applied in estimating the allowance for credit losses and are reflected in the disclosures as of and for the periods indicated, as set forth below. Management has determined that the classifications presented below are appropriate for identifying and managing risk within the loan portfolio.
Commercial and Commercial Real Estate Commercial loans are primarily underwritten based on the identified cash flows of the borrower, and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided. Borrower cash flows may not meet expectations, and the value of collateral securing these loans can fluctuate. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets, such as accounts receivable or inventory, and may include personal guarantees. Short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. For loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for repayment may substantially depend on the borrower’s ability to collect amounts due from its customers. Commercial real estate loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans, with the collateral serving as a secondary source of repayment. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts, with repayment generally dependent on the successful operation of the property or the business conducted on the property. These loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or the general economy. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse but are geographically concentrated almost entirely within the Company’s market area. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography, and risk grade criteria. In general, the Company avoids financing single-purpose projects unless other underwriting factors are present to help mitigate risk. Management also tracks the level of owner-occupied versus non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loans. Consumer and Residential Consumer and residential segments consist of residential mortgage loans and personal loans. The consumer loan segment includes home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) and other second mortgages. Home equity loans are typically secured by a subordinate interest in 1–4 family residences, while consumer personal loans may be secured by personal assets such as automobiles or recreational vehicles, or may be unsecured, such as small installment loans and certain lines of credit. For residential mortgage loans secured by 1–4 family, generally owner-occupied residences, the Company typically establishes a maximum loan-to-value ratio. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be affected by economic conditions in the market area, such as unemployment levels. Repayment can also be impacted by changes in property values. Risk is mitigated by the smaller individual loan amounts and the diversification provided by a large number of borrowers.

Note 8 – Loans and allowance for credit losses (continued)
During the third quarter of 2026, the Company updated the loss-driver analysis used in its CECL models, which relates historical loss experience to economic variables, and reviewed and revised qualitative factors as part of its ongoing CECL process. Management estimates that, absent the updates to the loss-driver analysis, the provision for credit losses for the quarter would have been approximately $355,000, reflecting growth in loan balances. The updates reduced the provision by approximately $320,000, resulting in a total provision of $35,000 for the quarter. Economic forecasts are refreshed quarterly. Provision activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 reflected the ongoing application of these models, the updated loss-driver analysis, qualitative factors, updated economic forecasts, and changes in loan composition and balances. Agricultural loans are evaluated using the weighted-average remaining life method. The principal balance of loans in the agricultural portfolio, which is included within the commercial classification below, was $4,054,000 and $4,381,000 at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Credit Quality Indicators The Bank’s internal risk rating system is in place to grade commercial and commercial real estate loans. Category ratings are reviewed periodically by lenders and the credit review area of the Bank based on the borrower’s individual situation. Additionally, internal and external monitoring and review of credits are conducted on an annual basis. Below is a summary and definition of the Bank’s risk rating categories:
Note 8 – Loans and allowance for credit losses (continued) We segregate commercial and commercial real estate loans into the above categories based on the following criteria and we review the characteristics of each rating at least annually, generally during the first quarter. The characteristics of these ratings are as follows: “Pass.” These are loans having risk ratings of 1 through 4. Pass loans are to persons or business entities with an acceptable financial condition, appropriate collateral margins, appropriate cash flow to service the existing loan, and an appropriate leverage ratio. The borrower has paid all obligations as agreed and it is expected that this type of payment history will continue. When necessary, acceptable personal guarantors support the loan. “Monitor.” These are loans having a risk rating of 5. Monitor loans have currently acceptable risk but may have the potential for a specific defined weakness in the borrower’s operations and the borrower’s ability to generate positive cash flow on a sustained basis. The borrower’s recent payment history may currently or in the future be characterized by late payments. The Bank’s risk exposure is mitigated by collateral supporting the loan. The collateral is considered to be well-margined, well maintained, accessible and readily marketable. “Special Mention.” These are loans having a risk rating of 6. Special Mention loans have weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. These loans do warrant more than routine monitoring due to a weakness caused by adverse events. “Substandard.” These are loans having a risk rating of 7. Substandard loans are considered to have specific and well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the viability of the Bank’s credit extension. The payment history for the loan has been inconsistent and the expected or projected primary repayment source may be inadequate to service the loan. The estimated net liquidation value of the collateral pledged and/or ability of the personal guarantor(s) to pay the loan may not adequately protect the Bank. There is a distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies associated with the loan are not corrected in the near term. “Doubtful.” These are loans having a risk rating of 8. Doubtful rated loans have all the weaknesses inherent in a loan that is classified substandard but with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high. “Loss.” These are loans having a risk rating of 9. Loss rated loans are not considered collectible under normal circumstances and there is no realistic expectation for any future payment on the loan. Loss rated loans are fully charged off. There were no loans classified as doubtful or loss at September 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025.
Note 8 – Loans and allowance for credit losses (continued) The table below details the amortized cost of the classes of loans by credit quality indicator and year of origination as of September 30, 2026 (dollars in thousands).
Note 8 – Loans and allowance for credit losses (continued) The table below details the amortized cost of the classes of loans by credit quality indicator and year of origination as of December 31, 2025 (dollars in thousands).
Note 8 – Loans and allowance for credit losses (continued) The following table details the gross charge-offs of loans by year of origination for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and the nine months ended September 30, 2025 (dollars in thousands).
Note 8 – Loans and allowance for credit losses (continued) The following tables present loans on nonaccrual status by class as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (dollars in thousands):
Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recognized only when received in cash. The Company did not record any interest income on nonaccrual loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 or 2025. The Company also reversed all previously accrued but unpaid interest on nonaccrual loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. If interest on these loans had been accrued, such income cumulatively would have approximated $86,000 and $81,000 as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Note 8 – Loans and allowance for credit losses (continued) The following tables present an aging analysis of the loan portfolio by class and past due as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (dollars in thousands):
Note 8 – Loans and allowance for credit losses (continued) Occasionally, the Bank modifies loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulties by providing principal forgiveness, term extensions, interest rate reductions, or payment deferrals. Because the effect of most modifications is already included in the allowance for credit losses due to the measurement methodologies used in its estimate, the allowance is typically not adjusted upon modification. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount forgiven is charged against the allowance for credit losses. There were no loan modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 or September 30, 2025. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, there were no loans modified within the prior twelve months which defaulted during the periods then ended. Allowance on Unfunded Commitments The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, including unfunded loan commitments, letters of credit, and other commitments to extend credit, to the extent that such commitments are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments is recorded as a liability and is adjusted through a provision for (or recovery of) credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The estimate of the allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur, which is based on historical funding experience derived from internal data, as well as an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over their estimated lives. The Company applies the same loss rates used in estimating the allowance for credit losses on loans to the portion of commitments expected to be funded. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments was $568,000 at September 30, 2026 and $673,000 at December 31, 2025, and is included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table presents the balance and activity in the ACL for unfunded commitments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 (dollars in thousands):
Note 8 – Loans and allowance for credit losses (continued) Other Real Estate Owned At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate for which foreclosure proceedings were in process. The Bank had no Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) at December 31, 2025. At September 30, 2026, OREO consisted of one property, the former Buchanan Branch, with a carrying value of $192,000. The property was transferred from premises and equipment to OREO following the branch closure and the decision to sell, and was recorded at its estimated fair value less costs to sell, resulting in a write-down of approximately $84,000, which was recorded in noninterest expense in the third quarter of 2026. The property was not acquired through foreclosure. |
