CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as amended, as of December 31, 2025, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that as of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Management Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a- 15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This assessment was based upon the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in the 2013 Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting involves a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes the controls themselves, as well as monitoring of the controls and internal auditing practices and actions to correct deficiencies identified. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. Based on this assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective. The Company's independent registered public accounting firm, that audited the Company's consolidated financial statements included in this annual report, has issued an audit report on our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. This report appears on page 1 of this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc (and subsidiaries) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 , the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders ’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 , based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 , and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 , based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting included in Item 9A Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Allowance for Credit Losses – Qualitative Factors
Critical Audit Matter Description
As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s allowance for credit losses (ACL) on loans was $17.4 million at December 31, 2025. The ACL on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. The ACL on loans is measured on a collective pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company utilizes the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity (WARM) methodology, which applies historical loss rates over the estimated remaining life of each loan pool. Modeled expected losses are adjusted to reflect current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts through the use of quantitative models and qualitative factors. Loans considered to have different risk characteristics that do not fall within any pool are analyzed individually.
We identified management’s estimation of qualitative factors used to adjust the modeled expected losses as a critical audit matter. The estimation of these factors, based on management’s evaluation of available internal and external data, is subjective in nature and requires significant judgment by management. Auditing management’s judgments regarding the determination of qualitative factors applied to the ACL on loans required a high level of audit effort and involved especially challenging and subjective auditor judgment when performing audit procedures and evaluating the results of those procedures
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls related to the ACL calculation and the identification and assessment of the qualitative factors used. Our audit procedures related to qualitative factors included the following, among others:
●
Testing the methodology used in the ACL calculation and evaluating whether the qualitative factors used in the calculation are supported by management's analysis, including testing the key underlying information utilized by management.
●
Testing the mathematical accuracy of the ACL calculation and the application of the qualitative factors within the calculation.

As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s goodwill balance was $34.7 million as of December 31, 2025. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of October 31, or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. The impairment test did not result in goodwill impairment for the year ended December 31, 2025.
We identified the goodwill impairment test as a critical audit matter. The determination of the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit requires management to develop significant assumptions that are used as inputs to the goodwill impairment test. Auditing management’s annual impairment test required a high level of audit effort that required specialized skills and knowledge. Additionally, the evaluation of audit evidence of the significant assumptions required especially challenging and subjective auditor judgment, including those assumptions underlying the projections of future cash flows utilized in the income approach, the selection of peer data utilized in the market approach, and the relative weight assigned to the different valuation methodologies.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls related to management’s goodwill impairment assessment process. Our audit procedures related to the methods and assumptions used in the goodwill impairment test included the following, among others:
●
With the assistance of our valuation specialist, (1) testing the reasonableness of the methods and significant assumptions used and (2) performing a shadow calculation to recreate the results of the valuation model.
●
Evaluating the relative weight assigned to the valuations indicated by the market and income approaches.
●
Validating the completeness, accuracy, and reliability of underlying data used in the Company’s analysis.
●
Evaluating the reasonableness of the assumptions utilized by the Company in the determination of the estimated projected cash flows used in the income approach and the reasonableness of the selection of peer data utilized in the market approach.

EAGLE BANCORP MONTANA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. (“Eagle” or the “Company”), is a Delaware corporation that holds 100 % of the capital stock of Opportunity Bank of Montana (“OBMT” or the “Bank”), formerly American Federal Savings Bank (“AFSB”). The Bank was founded in 1922 as a Montana chartered building and loan association and has conducted operations and maintained its administrative office in Helena, Montana since that time. In 1975, the Bank adopted a federal thrift charter and in October 2014 converted to a Montana chartered commercial bank and became a member bank in the Federal Reserve System.
Eagle Bancorp Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”) was established in September 2005 and is owned 100 % by Eagle.
In September 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") with First Community Bancorp, Inc. ("FCB"), a Montana corporation, and FCB's wholly-owned subsidiary, First Community Bank, a Montana chartered commercial bank. The Merger Agreement provided that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, FCB would merge with and into Eagle, with Eagle continuing as the surviving corporation. The merger closed on April 30, 2022. First Community Bank operated nine branches in Ashland, Culbertson, Froid, Glasgow, Helena, Hinsdale, Three Forks and Wolf Point, Montana.
In March 2021, the Bank established a subsidiary, Opportunity Housing Fund, LLC (“OHF”), to invest in Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (“LIHTC”) projects. The LIHTC program is designed to encourage capital investment in construction and rehabilitation of low-income housing. During the year ended December 31, 2021, OHF made investments in two LIHTC projects. Investments in LIHTC projects are included in other assets on the statement of financial condition and totaled $ 5,963,000 and $ 6,759,000 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 , respectively. Outstanding funding obligations for LIHTC projects are included in other liabilities on the statement of financial condition and totaled $ 166,000 at December 31, 2025 .
On January 1, 2020, the Company acquired Western Holding Company of Wolf Point (“WHC”), a Montana corporation, and WHC’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Western Bank of Wolf Point ("WB"), a Montana chartered commercial bank. The acquisition included one branch in Wolf Point, Montana. In addition, Western Financial Services, Inc. ("WFS") was acquired through the WHC merger. In December 2023, WFS changed its name to Opportunity Financial Services, Inc. ("OFS"). OFS facilitates deferred payment contracts for customers that produce agricultural products.
The Bank is headquartered in Helena, Montana, and has additional branches in Ashland, Big Timber, Billings, Bozeman, Butte, Choteau, Culbertson, Denton, Dutton, Froid, Glasgow, Great Falls, Hamilton, Hinsdale, Livingston, Missoula, Sheridan, Three Forks, Townsend, Twin Bridges, Winifred and Wolf Point, Montana. The Bank’s principal business is accepting deposits and, together with funds generated from operations and borrowings, investing in various types of loans and securities.
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation and Use of Estimates
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In preparing consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statement of financial condition and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses and the potential impairment of goodwill.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include Eagle, the Bank, Eagle Bancorp Statutory Trust I (the "Trust"), OFS and OHF. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the presentation for 2025 . These reclassifications had no impact on net income or total shareholders’ equity.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to December 31, 2025 for recognition and/or disclosure.
Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk
Most of the Company’s business activity is with customers located within Montana. Note 2: Investment Securities discusses the types of securities that the Company invests in. Note 3: Loans discusses the types of lending that the Company engages in. The Company does not have any significant concentrations to any one industry or customer.

EAGLE BANCORP MONTANA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as those amounts included in the statements of financial condition captions “cash and due from banks,” “interest-bearing deposits in banks” and “federal funds sold,” all of which mature within ninety days.
Investment Securities
The Company can designate debt and equity securities as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading. At December 31, 2025 and 2024 all securities were designated as available-for-sale.
Held - to - M aturity – Debt investment securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at their remaining unpaid principal balance, net of unamortized premiums or unaccreted discounts.
Available - for - S ale – Investment securities that will be held for indefinite periods of time, including securities that may be sold in response to changes in market interest or prepayment rates, need for liquidity and changes in the availability of and the yield of alternative investments, are classified as available-for-sale. These assets are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are reported as other comprehensive income. Gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method. In general, premiums are amortized and discounts are accreted over the period remaining to maturity, except for premiums on callable bonds which are amortized to the earliest call date.
Trading – Investments that are purchased with the intent of selling them within a short period of time.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Available-for-Sale Securities
For available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company will first determine whether it intends to sell the security or will more likely than not be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. The security’s amortized cost basis will be written down to fair value through other expense if either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. If neither of the aforementioned criteria are met, the Company will determine whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses. If a credit loss exists, the Company will report the portion of impairment related to credit losses in an allowance for credit losses ("ACL") with an offsetting entry to net income. The amount of ACL is limited to the amount fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any portion of estimated credit losses that have not been recorded through an ACL are reported in other comprehensive income net of tax.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
The Company’s investment in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Des Moines stock is a restricted investment carried at cost ($ 100 per share par value), which approximates its fair value. As a member of the FHLB system, the Company is required to maintain a minimum level of investment in FHLB stock based on total assets and a specific percentage of its outstanding FHLB advances. The Company had 26,497 and 77,777 FHLB shares at December 31, 2025 and 2024 , respectively. Dividends are paid quarterly and are subject to FHLB board approval. Management evaluates FHLB stock for impairment as needed.
Federal Reserve Bank Stock
The Company’s investment in FRB stock is a restricted investment carried at cost, which approximates its fair value. Although the par value of the stock is $ 100 per share, banks pay only $ 50 per share at the time of purchase, with the understanding that the other half of the subscription amount is subject to call at any time. As a member of the Federal Reserve System, the Company is required to maintain a minimum level of investment in FRB stock based on a specific percentage of its capital and surplus. The Company had 82,618 FRB shares at both December 31, 2025 and 2024 . Dividends are received semi-annually at a fixed rate of 6.00 % on the total number of shares.
Mortgage Loans Held-for-Sale
Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at fair value. Mortgage loans held-for-sale are sold with mortgage servicing rights either released or retained by the Bank. Fair value for loans held-for-sale is determined by commitments from investors or current secondary market prices for loans with similar coupons and maturities. Loan origination fees and costs are recognized in earnings at the time of origination.
Loans
The Bank originates mortgage, commercial, agricultural and consumer loans primarily to customers located in Montana. The ability of the Bank’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the general economic conditions in this area.

EAGLE BANCORP MONTANA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1:
Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued
Loans – continued
Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances net of any unearned income, allowance for credit losses, and unamortized deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or unaccreted discounts on purchased loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs are deferred and amortized over the contractual life of the loan, and recorded as an adjustment to the yield, using the interest method.
Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans – Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in management's opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions. In determining whether or not a borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations for each class of loans, the Bank considers the borrower's debt service capacity through the analysis of current financial information, if available, and/or current information with regards to the Bank's collateral position. Regulatory provisions would typically require the placement of a loan on nonaccrual status if (i) principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection or (ii) full payment of principal and interest is not expected. Loans may be placed on nonaccrual status regardless of whether or not such loans are considered past due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Residential 1 - 4 Family Loans – The Bank originates 1 - 4 family residential mortgage loans collateralized by owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied real estate. Repayment of these loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy to a greater extent than other types of loans. Loans collateralized by 1 - 4 family residential real estate generally have been originated in amounts up to 80.00 % of appraised values before requiring private mortgage insurance. The underwriting analysis includes credit verification, appraisals and a review of the financial condition of the borrower. The Company will either hold these loans in its portfolio or sell them on the secondary market, depending upon market conditions and the type and term of the loan originations. Generally, all 30 -year fixed rate loans are sold in the secondary market.
Commercial Real Estate Loans – The Bank makes commercial real estate loans, land loans (both developed and undeveloped) and loans on multi-family dwellings. Commercial real estate loans are collateralized by owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied real estate. Payments on loans secured by such properties are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties. Accordingly, repayment of these loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy to a greater extent than other types of loans. When underwriting these loans, the Bank seeks to minimize these risks in a variety of ways, including giving careful consideration to the property’s operating history, future operating projections, current and projected occupancy, location and physical condition. The underwriting analysis also includes credit verification, analysis of global cash flow, appraisals and a review of the financial condition of the borrower.
Construction Loans – The Bank makes loans to finance the construction of residential properties. The majority of the Bank’s residential construction loans are made to individual homeowners for the construction of their primary residence and, to a lesser extent, to local builders for the construction of pre-sold houses or houses that are being built for sale in the future. The Bank also originates commercial construction and development loans. Construction loans involve additional risks attributable to the fact that loan funds are advanced upon the security of a project under construction, and the project is of uncertain value prior to its completion. Because of uncertainties inherent in estimating construction costs, the market value of the completed project and the effects of governmental regulation on real property, it can be difficult to accurately evaluate the total funds required to complete a project and the related loan to value ratio. As a result of these uncertainties, construction lending often involves the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment dependent, in part, on the success of the ultimate project rather than the ability of a borrower or guarantor to repay the loan. If the Company is forced to foreclose on a project prior to completion, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to recover the entire unpaid portion of the loan. In addition, the Company may be required to fund additional amounts to complete a project and may have to hold the property for an indeterminable period of time. While the Bank has underwriting procedures designed to identify what it believes to be acceptable levels of risks in construction lending, no assurance can be given that these procedures will prevent losses from the risks described above.
Agricultural Loans – The Bank makes agricultural operating loans as well as long term agricultural real estate loans. Agricultural operating loans are generally secured with equipment, cattle, crops or other non-real property and at times the underlying real property. Agricultural real estate loans are secured with farm and ranch real estate. Payments on both types of agricultural loans are dependent on successful operation of the farm and/or ranch. Repayment is also affected by agricultural conditions that may include adverse weather conditions such as drought, hail, flooding and severe winters. Also impacting the borrower’s ability to repay are commodity prices associated with the agricultural operation. When underwriting these loans, the Bank seeks to minimize these risks in a variety of ways, including giving careful consideration to the farm or ranch’s operating history, future operating projections, current and projected commodity prices and crop insurance. The underwriting analysis also includes credit verification, analysis of global cash flow, appraisals and a review of the financial condition of the borrower.

Loans – continued
Home Equity Loans – The Bank originates home equity loans that are secured by the borrowers’ primary residence. These loans are typically subject to a prior lien, which may or may not be held by the Bank. Although these loans are secured by real estate, they carry a greater risk than first lien 1 - 4 family residential mortgages because of the existence of a prior lien on the property as well as the flexibility the borrower has with respect to the proceeds. The Bank attempts to minimize this risk by maintaining conservative underwriting policies on these types of loans. Generally, home equity loans are made for up to 85.00 % of the appraised value of the underlying real estate collateral, less the amount of any existing prior liens on the property securing the loan.
Consumer Loans – Consumer loans made by the Bank include automobile loans, recreational vehicle loans, boat loans, personal loans, credit lines, loans secured by deposit accounts and other personal loans. Risk is minimized due to relatively small loan amounts that are spread across many individual borrowers.
Commercial Loans – A broad array of commercial lending products are made available to businesses for working capital (including inventory and accounts receivable), purchases of equipment and machinery and business. Bank’s commercial loans are underwritten on the basis of the borrower’s ability to service such debt as reflected by cash flow projections. Commercial loans are generally collateralized by business assets, accounts receivable and inventory, certificates of deposit, securities, guarantees or other collateral. The Bank also generally obtains personal guarantees from the principals of the business. Working capital loans are primarily collateralized by short-term assets, whereas term loans are primarily collateralized by long-term assets. As a result, commercial loans involve additional complexities, variables and risks and require more thorough underwriting and servicing than other types of loans.
Allowance for Credit Losses – Loans
The allowance for credit losses on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis of loans, and accrued interest is reported separately on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed and recoveries are credited to the allowance when received. In the case of recoveries, amounts may not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged off.
Management utilizes relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, historical loss experience, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The lookback period in the analysis includes historical data from 2014 to present. Adjustments to historical loss information are made when historical data is not likely reflective of the current portfolio due to changing economic conditions or when there is a lack of default or loss history. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as a provision for credit losses.
Collective Assessment – The allowance for credit losses on loans is measured on a collective pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Generally, collectively assessed loans are grouped first by call report code, then by similar risk characteristics.
Determining the Contractual Life – Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual life of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The contractual life excludes expected extensions, renewals and modifications. Prepayment assumptions will be determined by analysis of historical behavior by loan pool.
The Company has elected to use the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity (WARM) methodology for all pools. The WARM methodology looks at historical quarterly loss rates for each loan pool over the established “look back” period to determine an average loss rate for each pool. Each pool is analyzed to determine the remaining life using amortization schedules, including prepayments.
Historical charge off and recovery activity is compared to loan balances in each pool quarterly and is averaged to determine an estimated annual charge off rate. The average loss rate over this look-back period is applied annually over the remaining life of the pool to determine an expected loss percentage.
The Company incorporates current economic conditions based on quantitative models that compare national economic indicators to peer charge off rates and local economic indicators to the Company's charge off rates. The expected loss rate for each pool is adjusted by the difference between the Bank's historical loss rate and the rate determined in the economic models.
Additionally, the Company uses reasonable and supportable forecasted economic indicators through a qualitative adjustment. Economic indicators are compared to peer charge off rates through a regression analysis. Predicted loss rates are then determined by applying the forecasted economic indicators to the regression and are compared to the current charge off rates to determine any potential qualitative adjustment.
The Company recognizes that all significant factors that affect the collectability of the loan portfolio must be considered to determine the estimated credit losses as of the evaluation date. The methodology primarily relies on historic charge off data to determine a loss rate to apply to each pool and does not inherently consider risks in the loan portfolio. Therefore, the Company adjusts the modeled expected losses by qualitative adjustments to incorporate significant risks to form a sufficient basis to estimate the credit losses.

Allowance for Credit Losses – continued
Individual Analysis – Loans considered to have different risk characteristics that do not fall within any pool will be analyzed individually on a quarterly basis for potential individual reserve requirements.
The Company has elected the collateral-dependent practical expedient for its collateral-dependent loans, where estimated credit losses are based upon the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell if applicable. This practical expedient can be applied to a loan if the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale or operation of the collateral. If it is probable that the Company will foreclose on the collateral, the use of the fair value of the collateral to calculate an allowance for credit loss is required. Estimates of future collateral proceeds will be based upon available appraisals, reference to recent valuations of comparable properties, and any other sources of information believed appropriate by management under the specific circumstances. When appraisals are ordered to support the analysis of a collateral-dependent loan, the appraisal is reviewed internally.
Where the primary and/or expected source of repayment of a specific loan is believed to be the receipt of principal and interest payments from the borrower and/or the refinancing of the loan by another creditor, impairment will generally be measured based upon the present value of expected proceeds discounted at the contractual interest rate. Expected refinancing proceeds may be estimated from review of term sheets actually received by the borrower from other creditors and/or from the Company’s knowledge of terms generally available from other banks.
Loan Modifications Made to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
The Company identifies a modification to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty as a loan where a concession is granted for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties that it would not otherwise consider. Loan modifications include situations where there is principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, term extensions, other-than-significant payment delays, or any combinations of these. The allowance for credit losses on loans that are considered modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are measured by the Company using the same method as all other loans held for investment.
Allowance for Credit Losses – Unfunded Commitments
The Company estimates expected credit losses over the period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments is adjusted through a provision for credit losses. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. The estimate utilizes the same factors and assumptions as the allowance for credit losses on loans and is applied at the same collective pool level.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through sale of financial assets. For sales of mortgage loans, a portion of the cost of originating the loan is allocated to the servicing right based on relative fair value. Fair value is based on a market price valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, the custodial earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses.
Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized cost. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into tranches based on predominant characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type and investor type. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual tranche, to the extent that the fair value is less than the capitalized amount for the tranches. If the Company later determines that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists for a particular tranche, a reduction of the allowance may be recorded as an increase to income. Capitalized servicing rights are reported as assets and are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets.
Servicing fee income is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal and are recorded as income when earned. The amortization of mortgage servicing rights is netted against loan servicing fee income.

Premises and Equipment
Land is carried at cost. Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the expected useful lives of the assets, ranging from 3 to 40 years. The costs of maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, while major expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Leases
The Company leases certain premises from third parties under various operating lease agreements. Operating leases are included in premises and equipment, net and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial position. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. Right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. If an implicit rate is not available in the lease, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments. Lease and non-lease components are accounted for separately. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated statements of financial condition.
Cash Surrender Value of Bank Owned Life Insurance
Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) policies are reflected on the consolidated statements of financial condition at cash surrender value, net of other charges or amounts due that are probable at settlement. Changes in the net cash surrender value of the policies, as well as insurance proceeds received, are reflected in noninterest income on the consolidated statements of income and are not subject to income taxes.
Real Estate and Other Repossessed Assets
Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling cost at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new carrying value. All write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for credit losses. Costs of significant property improvements are capitalized, whereas costs relating to holding property are expensed. Valuations are periodically performed by management, and any subsequent write-downs are recorded as a charge to operations, if necessary, to reduce the carrying value of a property to the lower of its cost or fair value less cost to sell. Real estate and other repossessed properties was $ 98,000 and $ 45,000 at December 31, 2025 and 2024 , respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The majority of our revenue-generating transactions are not subject to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, including revenue generated from financial instruments, such as our loans, guarantees, derivatives and investment securities, as well as revenue related to our mortgage servicing activities, as these activities are subject to other GAAP discussed elsewhere within our disclosures. ASC Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as service charges on deposit accounts, interchange and other fees and commodity sales income. Descriptions of our revenue-generating activities that are within the scope of ASC Topic 606 and are recorded in noninterest income on the consolidated statements of income are discussed below:
Service Charges on Deposit Accounts – Revenue from service charges consists of service charges and fees on deposit accounts under depository agreements with customers to provide access to deposited funds and, when applicable, pay interest on deposits. Service charges on deposit accounts may be transactional or non-transactional in nature. Transactional service charges occur in the form of a service or penalty and are charged upon the occurrence of an event (e.g., overdraft fees, ATM fees, wire transfer fees). Transactional service charges are recognized as services are delivered to and consumed by the customer, or as penalty fees are charged. Non-transactional service charges are charges that are based on a broader service, such as account maintenance fees and dormancy fees, and are recognized on a monthly basis. Service charges on deposit accounts were $ 1,655,000 and $ 1,645,000 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 , respectively.
Interchange and ATM Fees – Revenue from debit card fees includes interchange fee income from debit cards processed through card association networks. Interchange fees represent a portion of a transaction amount that the Company and other involved parties retain to compensate themselves for giving the cardholder immediate access to funds. Interchange rates are generally set by the card association networks and are based on purchase volumes and other factors. The Company records interchange fees as services are provided. Interchange and ATM fees were $ 2,620,000 and $ 2,540,000 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 , respectively.
Commodity Sales Income – The Company's subsidiary, OFS, processes deferred payment contracts between suppliers and customers of agricultural commodities. The revenue from these contracts is accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 606. The Company is considered an agent in these contracts, as: (i) the Company facilitates payment from customer to supplier, (ii) the Company does not take inventory of commodities as they are delivered by supplier to the customer, (iii) pricing of commodities is determined by the market, (iv) consideration on deferred payment contracts is insignificant to the Company and (v) the Company’s exposure to credit risk is minimal. Revenue is recognized net of expenses and reported in other noninterest income in the financial statements. Commodity sales income and the corresponding commodity sales expense were $ 16,181,000 and $ 13,043,000 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 , respectively, for a net impact of $0. Outstanding deferred contracts payable are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated financial statements of condition and totaled $ 23,549,000 and $ 17,792,000 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 ,

Income Taxes
The Company adopted authoritative guidance related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which sets out a consistent framework to determine the appropriate level of tax reserves to maintain for uncertain tax positions.
The Company’s income tax expense consists of the following components: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur.
Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than- not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than- not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company recognizes income tax related penalties and interest, if any, in the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of income. Based on management's analysis, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 . The Company's income tax returns are subject to U.S. Federal and state examinations by tax authorities for tax years 2022 and forward. There are currently no income tax examinations underway.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
Compensation expense recognized for the Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) equals the fair value of shares that have been allocated or committed to be released for allocation to participants during the year. Any difference between the fair value of the shares at the time and the ESOP’s original acquisition cost is charged or credited to shareholders’ equity (additional paid-in capital). The cost of ESOP shares that have not yet been allocated or committed to be released is deducted from shareholders’ equity.
Treasury Stock
Treasury stock is accounted for on the cost method.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising costs were $ 1,288,000 and $ 1,312,000 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 , respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
Compensation cost is recognized for restricted stock awards, based on the fair value of the awards at the grant date. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. Shares of restricted stock granted through the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, vest in equal installments over three or five years beginning one year from the grant date. Time-based shares of restricted stock granted through the 2025 Stock Incentive Plan vest in equal installments over three years beginning one year from the grant date. Performance-based shares of restricted stock granted vest at the end of a three -year performance period. Shares of restricted stock granted through the 2020 Non-Employee Director Award Plan vest one year from the grant date.

Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings allocated to common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares determined for the basic earnings per common share computation plus the dilutive effect of stock compensation using the treasury stock method.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes items recorded directly to equity, such as unrealized holding gains and losses on securities available-for-sale.
Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments
Financial instruments include off-balance-sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
Derivatives
The Company’s derivatives are primarily the result of its mortgage banking activities and are in the form of interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs), To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) mortgage-backed securities and bulk mandatory forward loan sale commitments. The derivatives are accounted for as free-standing or economic derivatives and are measured at fair value. The derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition and the changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded in noninterest income in mortgage banking, net in the on the consolidated statements of income.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates. See Note 17. Fair Value of Financial Instruments for more information.
Transfers of Financial Assets
Transfers of an entire financial asset, a group of entire financial assets, or participating interest in an entire financial asset are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when ( 1 ) the assets have been isolated from the Company, ( 2 ) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and ( 3 ) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill is recorded upon completion of a business combination as the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of October 31, or more often if events or circumstances, such as adverse changes in the business climate indicate there may be impairment. A goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value. An impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. For goodwill considerations the Company is a single reporting unit. A weighted average of both the market and income approaches is used in valuing the reporting unit’s fair value. Weightings are assigned to the approaches regarding fair value and the sensitivity of other weighting scenarios is considered. The market approach incorporates comparable public company information, valuation multiples and consideration of a market control premium along with data related to comparable observed purchase transactions in the financial services industry. The income approach consists of discounting projected future cash flows, which are derived from internal forecasts and economic expectations for the reporting unit. The significant inputs and assumptions for the income approach include projected earnings of the Company in future years for which there is inherent uncertainty and the discount rate. The sensitivity of a range of reasonable discount rates based on the current economic environment is considered.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, management performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test with assistance from a third -party valuation specialist. The interim determination was primarily driven by a revision in the Company's earnings outlook in comparison to budget. The interim goodwill impairment assessment as of August 31, 2024 concluded that goodwill was not impaired. No interim goodwill impairment tests were performed in 2025. Our quantitative annual impairment tests as of October 31, 2025 and 2024 also did not result in impairment. However, changing economic conditions that may adversely affect the Company's performance, the fair value of its assets and liabilities, or its stock price could result in future impairment. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Management will continue to monitor events that could influence this conclusion in the future.

Goodwill recorded for the FCB acquisition during the second quarter of 2022 was $ 13,942,000 . Goodwill related to acquisitions prior to 2022 totaled $ 20,798,000 . Other identifiable intangible assets recorded by the Company represent the future benefit associated with the acquisition of the core deposits. Core deposit intangible assets are being amortized over 10 years utilizing methods that approximate the expected attrition of the deposits. The amortization expense is included in the noninterest expense section of the consolidated statements of income.
Segment Reporting
Management considers operations to be aggregated in one operating segment, as well as one reportable segment. The Company operates as one line of business (community banking) by providing a similar base of commercial and retail customers with comparable product and service offerings throughout our Montana markets. The Company adopted ASU No. 2023 - 07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280 ) during the year ended December 31, 2024. The President/Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) serves as the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM is responsible for assessing performance and allocating operating and capital expenditure resources.
The CODM regularly assesses the performance of the single operating and reporting segment based on consolidated net income. The CODM reviews expenses at a level consistent with those reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. All significant expense categories are reflected in the consolidated statements of income. The measure of segment assets is reflected in the consolidated statements of financial condition as total assets.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020 , the FASB issued ASU No. 2020 - 04 , Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848 ) which provides temporary optional expedients to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to an alternative reference rate such as Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). The Company evaluated this guidance and identified substitution rates for impacted loans and debt. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021 - 01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848 ), which clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. ASU No. 2021 - 01 was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2024. The Company has reviewed all of its LIBOR based products and all products have been adjusted to another index as LIBOR ceased to be published after June 30, 2023. ASU No. 2021 - 01 did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023 - 07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280 ): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The updated accounting guidance requires expanded reportable segment disclosures, primarily related to significant segment expenses which are regularly provided to the company's chief operating decision maker. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Retrospective application is required. The Company adopted the updated guidance during the year ended December 31, 2024 and it did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statement disclosures as the Company has a single reportable segment.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023 - 09, Income Taxes (Topic 740 ): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The updated accounting guidance requires enhanced income tax disclosures, including the disaggregation of existing disclosures related to the tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The amendments in this ASU became effective for the Company on January 1, 2025 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024 - 03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220 - 40 ): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This update requires that public companies disclose details about specific expenses, among other things, such as employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, depletion, and inventory purchases. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025 - 01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220 - 40 ), which clarifies the effective date identified under ASU No. 2024 - 03. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025 - 08, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326 ): Purchased Loans,” which amends the accounting for acquired loans by introducing a category of purchased seasoned loans and expanding the use of the gross-up approach, requiring qualifying acquired loans to be recorded at purchase price plus an allowance for expected credit losses rather than recognizing a Day- 1 provision through earnings. ASU 2025 - 08 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those annual periods, and is to be applied prospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adoption, including the potential effect on the accounting for loans acquired in future acquisitions.

As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 , there were, respectively, 241 and 284 securities in unrealized loss positions. Based on analysis of available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses as of December 31, 2025 , the Company determined the decline in value was unrelated to credit losses and was primarily caused by changes in interest rates and market spreads subsequent to the initial purchase of the securities. Management does not intend to sell and the Company is not likely to be required to sell these securities prior to maturity. As a result, no ACL was recorded on available-for-sale securities at December 31, 2025 and 2024. As part of this determination, consideration was given to the extent to which fair value was less than amortized cost, adverse security ratings by a rating agency and other factors.

The Company utilizes an 8 -point internal loan rating system, largely based on regulatory classifications, as follows:
Loans R ated Pass – these are loans in categories 1 – 5 that are considered to be protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor, or by the value of the asset or the underlying collateral.
Loans R ated Special Mention – these loans in category 6 have potential weaknesses and are watched closely by management. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset at some future date.
Loans R ated Substandard – these loans in category 7 are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Loans R ated Doubtful – these loans in category 8 have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified Substandard 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.
Loans R ated Loss – these loans are considered uncollectible and are not part of the 8 -point rating system. They are of such small value that their continuance as assets without establishment of a specific reserve is not warranted. This classification does not mean that an asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but, rather, that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off a basically worthless asset even though practical recovery may be affected in the future.

In January 2022, the Company completed the issuance of $ 40,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of subordinated notes due in 2032 in a private placement transaction to certain institutional accredited investors and qualified buyers. The notes bear interest at an annual fixed rate of 3.50 % payable semi-annually. Starting February 1, 2027, interest will accrue at a floating rate per annum equal to a benchmark rate, which is expected to be three -month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a spread of 218.0 basis points, payable quarterly. The notes are subject to redemption at the option of the Company on or after February 1, 2027. The subordinated debentures qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes. A portion of the net proceeds were used to redeem the $ 10,000,000 senior notes which matured in February 2022.
In June 2020, the Company completed the issuance of $ 15,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of subordinated notes due in 2030 in a private placement transaction to certain qualified institutional accredited investors. The notes bore interest at an annual fixed rate of 5.50 % payable semi-annually. Starting July 1, 2025, interest accrued at a floating rate per annum equal to a benchmark rate, which was three -month term SOFR plus a spread of 509.0 basis points, payable quarterly. The floating rate was 9.39 % for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The notes were subject to redemption at the option of the Company on or after July 1, 2025. The subordinated debentures qualified as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes.

Using interest payments made by the Company on the debentures, the Trust began paying quarterly dividends to preferred security holders in December 2005. The annual percentage rate of the interest payable on the subordinated debentures and distributions payable on the preferred securities was fixed at 6.02% until December 2010 then became variable at three -month LIBOR plus 1.42%. In December of 2022, Governors of the Federal Reserve System adopted final rule 12 C.F.R. Part 253, Regulation Implementing the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act. Rule 253 identified SOFR -benchmark rates to replace LIBOR in certain financial contracts after June 30, 2023. As a result, the variable rate for interest payable converted to three -month CME Term SOFR p lus 1.68 % during the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The rate w as 5.33 % and 5.99 % a s of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Dividends on the preferred securities are cumulative and the Trust may defer the payments for up to five years. The preferred securities mature in December 2035 unless the Company elects and obtains regulatory approval to accelerate the maturity date. The subordinated debentures qualify as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes.
During the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 , interest expense on all other long- term debt was $ 2,774,000 and $ 2,724,000 , respectively, which includ es $ 301,000 and $ 149,000 i n amortization for debt issuance costs, respectively. Debt issuance costs consisting primarily of underwriting discounts and professional fees were capitalized and are being amortized through maturity to interest expense using the straight-line method.

NOTE 10 :
Commitments and Contingencies
Financial Instruments and Off-Balance-Sheet Activities
All financial instruments held or issued by the Company are held or issued for purposes other than trading. In the ordinary course of business, the Bank enters into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and forward delivery commitments for the sale of whole loans to the secondary market.
Loan Commitments - In response to marketplace demands, the Bank routinely makes commitments to extend credit for fixed rate and variable rate loans with or without rate lock guarantees. When rate lock guarantees are made to customers, the Bank becomes subject to market risk for changes in interest rates that occur between the rate lock date and the date that a firm commitment to purchase the loan is made by a secondary market investor.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as the borrower satisfies the Bank’s underwriting standards and related provisions of the borrowing agreements. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Collateral is required for substantially all loans, and normally consists of real property. The Bank’s experience has been that substantially all loan commitments are completed or terminated by the borrower within 3 to 12 months.
Loan commitments are summarized as follows:

The total commitment is $ 5,000,000 and is expected to be drawn over a three -year period. The outstanding commitment was $ 5,000,000 as of December 31, 2025.
Employment Contracts
The Company has entered into change of control agreements with its executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer. The change in control agreements provide a double trigger benefit equal to the sum of the executive’s annual salary and incentive bonus for the most recently completed year. The benefits are payable in the event that four months prior to, in connection with or within 18 months after a change in control the executive’s employment is terminated without cause or if the executive resigns for good reason. The change in control agreements are for two years, renewing automatically for successive one -year periods unless Eagle or the executive provide written notice of nonrenewal 60 days before the contract anniversary date. If the officer timely and properly elects health continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 ("COBRA"), the Bank will pay the Executive's monthly COBRA premium paid for himself/herself and his/her dependents for all applicable group health plan benefits until the earliest of (i) the expiration of twelve months of coverage, (ii) the date the executive is no longer eligible to receive COBRA continuation coverage, and (iii) the date on which the executive receives or becomes eligible to receive substantially similar coverage from another employer or source.
Legal Proceedings
Various legal claims also arise from time to time in the normal course of business which, in the opinion of management, will have no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Capital Management and Regulatory Matters
Federal regulations require Federal Reserve member banks, such as Opportunity Bank of Montana and all other FDIC insured depository institutions, to meet several minimum capital standards: a common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets ratio of 4.5 %, a Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets ratio of 6.0 %, a total capital to risk-based assets of 8.0 %, and a Tier 1 capital to total average assets leverage ratio of 4.0 %. Federal law establishes a prompt corrective action framework to resolve the problems of undercapitalized depository institutions. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.
In addition to establishing the minimum regulatory capital requirements, the regulations limit capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments to management if the institution does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5 % of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets above the amount necessary to meet each of its minimum risk-based capital requirements. An institution is considered "adequately capitalized" if it has a leverage ratio of 4.0 %, and including the conservation buffer, a common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets ratio of 7.0 %, a Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8.5 % and a total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 10.5 %.
Management believes that, as of December 31, 2025
, the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements.
As of
December 31, 2025 , the most recent notification from the FRB categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category. The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 2025 are presented in the table below and all of the ratios, with the exception of the Tier 1 capital to adjusted total average assets ratio, include the capital conservation buffer of 2.50 %.

Liquidation Rights
Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. holds a liquidation account for the benefit of certain depositors of the Bank who remain depositors of the Bank at the time of liquidation. The liquidation account is designed to provide payments to these depositors of their liquidation interests in the event of a liquidation of Eagle and the Bank, or the Bank alone. In the unlikely event that Eagle and the Bank were to liquidate in the future, all claims of creditors, including those of depositors, would be paid first, followed by distribution to depositors as of November 30, 2008 ( who continue to be the Bank’s depositors) of the liquidation account maintained by Eagle. Also, in a complete liquidation of both entities, or of just the Bank, when Eagle has insufficient assets to fund the liquidation account distribution due to depositors and the Bank has positive net worth, the Bank would immediately pay amounts necessary to fund Eagle’s remaining obligations under the liquidation account. If Eagle is completely liquidated or sold apart from a sale or liquidation of the Bank, then the rights of such depositors in the liquidation account maintained by Eagle would be surrendered and treated as a liquidation account in the Bank, the “bank liquidation account” and these depositors shall have an equivalent interest in the bank liquidation account and the same rights and terms as the liquidation account.
After two years from the date of the 2010 conversion and upon the written request of the FDIC, Eagle will eliminate or transfer the liquidation account and the interests in such account to the Bank and the liquidation account would become the liquidation account of the Bank and not subject in any manner or amount to Eagle’s creditors. Also, under the rules and regulations of the FDIC, no post-conversion merger, consolidation, or similar combination or transaction with another depository institution in which Eagle or the Bank is not the surviving institution would be considered a liquidation and, in such a transaction, the liquidation account would be assumed by the surviving institution.
NOTE 15:
Benefit Plans
Profit Sharing Plan
The Company provides a noncontributory profit sharing plan for eligible employees who have completed one year of service. The amount of the Company’s annual contribution is determined by the Board. Profit sharing expense was $ 1,226,000 and $ 1,186,000 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 , respectively.
The Company’s profit sharing plan includes a 401 (k) feature. At the discretion of the Board, the Company may match up to 50.00 % of participants’ contributions up to a maximum of 4.00 % of participants’ salaries. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 , the Company’s match was $ 476,000 and $ 519,000 , respectively.
Deferred Compensation Plans
The Company has entered into deferred compensation contracts with certain key employees. The contracts provide fixed benefits payable in equal annual installments upon retirement. The charge to expense is based on the present value computations of anticipated liabilities. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 , the total expense was $ 788,000 and $ 661,000 , respectively. The liability for the deferred compensation plan was $ 6,643,000 and $ 6,469,000 at December 31, 2025 and 2024 , respectively, which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
The Company provides an ESOP for eligible employees who meet certain age and service requirements.
The Company sold 251,256 shares of common stock to the ESOP at a price of $ 23.88 per share in June 2021. The shares were purchased from Eagle by the ESOP in exchange for a loan totaling $ 6,000,000 . The loan has a ten -year term and bears interest at 3.00 %. The Bank makes annual contributions to the ESOP sufficient to satisfy the debt service requirements of the loan. The ESOP uses these contributions, and dividends received by the ESOP on unallocated shares, to make principal and interest payments on the loan to the Company. The shares held by the ESOP will be used for allocations to employees of the Company over a ten -year period.
Shares purchased by the ESOP are held in a suspense account by the plan trustee until allocated to participant accounts. Shares released from the suspense account are allocated to participants on the basis of their relative compensation in the year of allocation. Participants become vested in the allocated shares over a period not to exceed seven years. Any forfeited shares are allocated to other participants in the same proportion as contributions. As shares are committed to be released, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the average daily market prices of the shares reduced by Eagle dividends paid on unallocated ESOP shares. The compensation expense is accrued throughout the year. Dividends on ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction to retained earnings.

D erivatives and Hedging Activities
The Company enters into commitments to originate and sell mortgage loans. The Bank uses derivatives to hedge the risk of changes in fair values of interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held-for-sale. An optimal amount of mortgage loans are sold directly into bulk commitments with investors at the time an interest rate is locked, other loans are sold on an individual best-efforts basis at the time an interest rate is locked, and the remaining balance of locked loans are hedged using TBA mortgage-backed securities or bulk mandatory forward loan sale commitments.
Derivatives are accounted for as free-standing or economic derivatives and are measured at fair value. Derivatives are recorded as either other assets or other liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition.
Derivatives are summarized as follows:

Changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded in mortgage banking, net within noninterest income on the consolidated statements of income. A net loss of $ 143,000 was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to a net gain of $ 99,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024 .
NOTE 17 :
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value are grouped in three levels within the fair value hierarchy based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.
The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
■
Level 1 Inputs – Valuations are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
■
Level 2 Inputs – Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuations for which all significant assumptions are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
■
Level 3 Inputs – Valuations are based on unobservable inputs that may include significant management judgment and estimation.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – continued
A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy at the reporting date, is set forth below.
Available-for-Sale Securities – Securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 (nationally recognized securities exchanges) and Level 2 inputs. For Level 2 inputs securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include but is not limited to dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayments speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions.
Loans Held-for-Sale – These loans are reported at fair value. Fair value is determined based on expected proceeds based on committed sales contracts and commitments of similar loans if not already committed and are considered Level 2 inputs.
Derivative Instruments – The fair value of the interest rate lock commitments, forward TBA mortgage-backed securities and mandatory forward commitments are estimated using quoted or published market prices for similar instruments, adjusted for factors such as pull-through rate assumptions based on historical information, where appropriate. Interest rate lock commitments are considered Level 3 inputs and forward TBA mortgage-backed securities and mandatory forward commitments are considered Level 2 inputs.
Collateral-Dependent Loans – Individually reviewed collateral-dependent loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell. Collateral-dependent loans are considered Level 3 inputs. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on internally customized discounting criteria.
R eal Estate and Other R epossessed Assets – Fair values are determined at the time the loan is foreclosed upon and the asset is transferred from loans. The value is based primarily on third -party appraisals, less costs to sell and are considered Level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Repossessed assets are reviewed and evaluated periodically for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.
Mortgage Servicing Rights – The fair value of mortgage servicing rights are estimated using net present value of expected cash flows based on a third party model that incorporates industry assumptions and is adjusted for factors such as prepayment speeds and are considered Level 3 inputs.
The following table summarizes financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:
