NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Great Southern Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company” or “Great Southern”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the financial condition, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company as of the dates and for the periods presented. Those adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The consolidated statement of financial condition of the Company as of December 31, 2024, has been derived from the audited consolidated statement of financial condition of the Company as of that date.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Reclassifications
Prior period consolidated financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current period presentation.
NOTE 2: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Company operates as a one-bank holding company. The Company’s business primarily consists of the operations of Great Southern Bank (the “Bank”), which provides a full range of financial services to customers primarily located in Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska and Arkansas. The Bank also originates commercial loans from lending offices in Atlanta; Charlotte, North Carolina; Chicago; Dallas; Denver; Omaha, Nebraska; and Phoenix. The Company and the Bank are subject to regulation by certain federal and state agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies.
The Company’s banking operation is its only reportable segment. The banking operation is principally engaged in the business of originating residential and commercial real estate loans, construction loans, commercial business loans and consumer loans and funding these loans by attracting deposits from the general public, accepting brokered deposits and borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank and others. The operating results of this segment are regularly reviewed by management to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess performance. Selected information is not presented separately for the Company’s reportable segment, as there is no material difference between that information and the corresponding information in the consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is focused on additional income tax disclosures and requires public business entities, on an annual basis, to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income by the applicable statutory income tax rate). ASU 2023-09 became effective for the Company beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
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 . ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. ASU 2024-03 requires new financial statement disclosures in tabular format, disaggregating information about prescribed categories underlying any relevant income statement expense caption. The prescribed categories include, among other things, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. Additionally, entities must disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for us, on a prospective basis, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, although early adoption and retrospective application is permitted. ASU 2024-03 is currently not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but will impact disclosures.

NOTE 5: INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Available-for-sale securities (“AFS”), which include any security for which the Company has no immediate plan to sell but which may be sold in the future, are carried at fair value. Realized gains and losses, based on the specifically identified amortized cost of the individual security, are included in non-interest income. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded, net of related income tax effects, in stockholders’ equity. Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the estimated life of the security. Prepayments are anticipated for certain mortgage-backed and Small Business Administration (SBA) securities. Premiums on callable securities are amortized to their earliest call date.
Held-to-maturity securities (“HTM”), which include any security for which the Company has both the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity, are carried at historical cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the security’s estimated life. Prepayments are anticipated for certain mortgage-backed securities. Premiums on callable securities are amortized to their earliest call date.

Certain available-for-sale investments in debt securities are reported in the financial statements at an amount less than their amortized cost. The total fair value of these investments at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was approximately $ 418.0 million and $ 523.9 million, respectively, which was approximately 78.7 % and 98.2 % of the Company’s total available-for-sale investment portfolio at those dates. A high percentage of the unrealized losses were related to the Company’s mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and Small Business Administration (SBA) securities, which are issued and guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies. The Company’s state and political subdivisions securities are investments in insured fixed rate municipal bonds for which the issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments under the contractual terms of the securities. Held-to-maturity investments in debt securities are reported in the financial statements at their amortized carrying value at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, which was $ 181.3 million and $ 187.4 million, respectively. Total fair value of these investments at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was approximately $ 163.6 million and $ 162.8 million, respectively, which is 100.0 % of the Company’s held-to-maturity investment portfolio.
Held-to-maturity investment securities are evaluated for potential losses under ASU 2016-13. The Company continually assesses its liquidity sources, both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet, and believes that at September 30, 2025, it had ample liquidity sources to fund its ongoing operations without selling investment securities in this portfolio.
Based on evaluation of available evidence, including recent changes in market interest rates, credit rating information and information obtained from regulatory filings of issuers, management believes the declines in fair value for the Company’s available-for-sale debt securities are not credit related.

There were no sales of available-for-sale securities during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2025 or September 30, 2024, respectively.
Allowance for Credit Losses. The Company evaluates all securities quarterly to determine if any securities in a loss position require a provision for credit losses in accordance with ASC 326, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . All of the mortgage-backed, collateralized mortgage, and SBA securities held by the Company as of September 30, 2025 were issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies. These securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses. Likewise, the Company has not historically experienced losses on these types of securities. Accordingly, no allowance for credit losses has been recorded for these securities.
Regarding securities issued by state and political subdivisions, management considers the following when evaluating these securities: (i) current issuer bond ratings, (ii) historical loss rates for given bond ratings, (iii) whether issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments under the contractual terms of the securities, (iv) updated financial information of the issuer, (v) internal forecasts and (vi) whether such securities provide insurance or other credit enhancement or are pre-refunded by the issuers. These securities are highly rated by major rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses. Likewise, the Company has not experienced historical losses on these types of securities. Accordingly, no allowance for credit losses has been recorded for these securities.

NOTE 6: LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The Company measures the allowance for credit losses under ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , referred to as the CECL methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans receivable. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance, including loan commitments, standby letters of credits, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments.

Loans are placed on nonaccrual status at 90 days past due and interest is considered a loss unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. Payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied to principal until the loans are returned to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all payments contractually due are brought current, payment performance is sustained for a period of time, generally six months, and future payments are reasonably assured. With the exception of consumer loans, charge-offs on loans are recorded when available information indicates a loan is not fully collectible and the loss is reasonably quantifiable. Consumer loans are charged-off at specified delinquency dates consistent with regulatory guidelines.
Nonaccruing loans are summarized as follows:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded $ 74,000 and $ 189,000 , respectively, in interest income related to recoveries on nonaccrual loans. No interest income was recorded on nonaccrual loans for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Nonaccrual loans for which there is no related allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, had an amortized cost of $ 1.7 million and $ 2.2 million, respectively. These loans were individually assessed and did not require an allowance due to being adequately collateralized under the collateral-dependent valuation method at those dates. A collateral-dependent loan is a financial asset for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty based on the Company’s assessment as of the reporting date. Collateral-dependent loans are identified primarily by a classified risk rating with a loan balance equal to or greater than $ 100,000 , including, but not limited to, any loan in the process of foreclosure or repossession.

Modified Loans. Loan modifications are reported if concessions have been granted to borrowers that are experiencing financial difficulty. The estimate of lifetime expected losses utilized in the allowance for credit losses model is developed using average historical loss on loans with similar risk characteristics, which includes losses from modifications of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. As a result, a charge to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification. For modifications to loans made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that are adversely classified, the Company determines the allowance for credit losses on an individual basis, using the same process that it utilizes for other adversely classified loans. If collection efforts have begun and the modified loan is subsequently deemed collateral-dependent, the loan is placed on nonaccrual status and the allowance for credit losses is determined based on an individual evaluation. If necessary, the loan is charged down to fair market value less estimated sales costs.
16
The following table shows, as of the date indicated, the composition of modifications made to loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, by the loan class and type of concession granted. There were no such modifications during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, principal forgiveness of $ 27,000 and $ 34,000 , respectively, was completed on consumer loans. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, principal forgiveness of $ 20,000 and $ 275,000 , respectively, was completed on consumer loans and a land development loan.

Loan Risk Ratings . The Company utilizes an internal risk rating system comprised of a series of grades to categorize loans according to perceived risk associated with the expectation of debt repayment. The analysis of the borrower’s ability to repay considers specific information, including, but not limited to, current financial information, historical payment experience, industry information and collateral levels and types. A risk rating is assigned at loan origination and then monitored throughout the contractual term for possible risk rating changes.
Satisfactory loans range from Excellent to Moderate Risk, but generally are loans supported by strong recent financial statements. The character and capacity of the borrower are solid, including reasonable project performance, good industry experience, liquidity and/or net worth. The probability of financial deterioration seems unlikely. Repayment is expected from approved sources over a reasonable period of time.
Watch loans are identified when the borrower has capacity to perform according to terms; however, elements of uncertainty exist. Margins of debt service coverage may be narrow, historical patterns of financial performance may be erratic, collateral margins may be diminished or the borrower may be a new and/or thinly capitalized company. Some management weakness on the part of the borrower may also exist, the borrower may have somewhat limited access to other financial institutions, and that access may diminish in difficult economic times.
Special Mention loans have weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of repayment prospects or the Bank’s credit position at some future date. This is a transitional grade closely monitored for improvement or deterioration.
17
The Substandard rating is applied to loans where the borrower exhibits well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize its continued performance and are of a severity that the distinct possibility of default exists. Loans are placed on “nonaccrual” when management does not expect to collect payments consistent with acceptable and agreed upon terms of repayment.
Doubtful loans have all the weaknesses inherent to those classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable.
The Loss category is used when loans are considered uncollectable and no longer included as an asset.
All loans are analyzed for risk rating updates regularly. For larger loans, rating assessments may be more frequent if relevant information is obtained earlier through debt covenant monitoring or overall relationship management. Smaller loans are monitored as identified by the loan officer based on the risk profile of the individual borrower or if the loan becomes past due related to credit issues. Loans rated Watch, Special Mention, Substandard or Doubtful are subject to formal quarterly review and continuous monitoring processes. In addition to the regular monitoring performed by the lending personnel and credit committees, loans are subject to review by the credit review department, which verifies the appropriateness of the risk ratings for the loans chosen as part of its risk-based review plan.

NOTE 7: INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
Investments in Affordable Housing Partnerships
Periodically, the Company has invested in certain limited partnerships that were formed to develop and operate apartments and single-family houses designed as high-quality affordable housing for lower income tenants throughout Missouri and contiguous states (“Affordable Housing Partnerships”). At September 30, 2025, the Company had 21 such investments, with a net carrying value of $ 99.7 million. At December 31, 2024, the Company had 23 such investments, with a net carrying value of $ 98.8 million. Due to the Company’s inability to exercise any significant influence over any of the investments in Affordable Housing Partnerships, they all are accounted for using the proportional amortization method. Each of the partnerships must meet the regulatory requirements for affordable housing for a minimum 15-year compliance period to fully utilize the tax credits. If the partnerships cease to qualify during the compliance period, the credits may be denied for any period in which the projects are not in compliance and a portion of the credits previously taken may be subject to recapture with interest.
The remaining federal affordable housing tax credits to be utilized through 2034 were $ 96.5 million as of September 30, 2025, assuming no tax credit recapture events occur and all projects currently under construction are completed as planned. Amortization of the investments in partnerships is expected to be approximately $ 86.5 million, assuming all projects currently under construction are completed and funded as planned.
The Company’s usage of federal affordable housing tax credits approximated $ 3.2 million and $ 2.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Investment amortization was $ 3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $ 2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
The Company’s usage of federal affordable housing tax credits approximated $ 9.6 million and $ 8.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Investment amortization was $ 8.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $ 7.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Investments in Community Development Entities
From time to time, the Company has invested in certain limited partnerships that were formed to develop and operate business and real estate projects located in low-income communities. At September 30, 2025, the Company had one such investment, with a net carrying value of $ 125,000 . At December 31, 2024, the Company had one such investment, with a net carrying value of $ 199,000 . Due to the Company’s inability to exercise any significant influence over any of the investments in qualified community development entities, they are accounted for using the proportional amortization method. Each of the partnerships provides federal new market tax credits over a seven-year credit allowance period. In each of the first three years, credits totaling five percent of the original investment are allowed on the credit allowance dates, and for the final four years, credits totaling six percent of the original investment are allowed on the credit allowance dates. Each of the partnerships must be invested in a qualified community development entity on each of the credit allowance dates during the seven-year period to utilize the tax credits. If the community development entities cease to qualify during the seven-year period, the credits may be denied for any credit allowance date and a portion of the credits previously taken may be subject to recapture with interest. The investments in the community development entities cannot be redeemed before the end of the seven-year period.
The Company’s usage of federal new market tax credits approximated $ 30,000 during both the three months ended September 30, 2025 and the three months ended September 30, 2024. Investment amortization amounted to $ 25,000 for both the three months ended September 30, 2025 and the three months ended September 30, 2024.
The Company’s usage of federal new market tax credits approximated $ 90,000 during both the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Investment amortization amounted to $ 75,000 and $ 50,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Upon adoption of ASU 2023-02 on January 1, 2024, the Company recorded a reduction in the investment in these new market tax credits, with a corresponding reduction in retained earnings, of $ 62,000 .
Investments in Limited Partnerships for Federal Rehabilitation/Historic Tax Credits
From time to time, the Company has invested in certain limited partnerships that were formed to provide certain federal rehabilitation/historic tax credits. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no such investments, with the previous investment fully amortizing during 2024. Under current tax law, such partnerships provide federal rehabilitation/historic tax credits over a five-year credit allowance period.
21
The Company’s usage of certain federal rehabilitation/historic tax credits approximated $ 75,000 and $ 76,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and the three months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Investment amortization amounted to $- 0 - and $ 64,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and the three months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
The Company’s usage of certain federal rehabilitation/historic tax credits approximated $ 225,000 and $ 228,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Investment amortization amounted to $- 0 - and $ 191,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Upon adoption of ASU 2023-02 on January 1, 2024, the Company recorded a reduction in the investment in these rehabilitation/historic tax credits, with a corresponding reduction in retained earnings, of $ 161,000 .
Investments in Limited Partnerships for State Tax Credits
On occasion, the Company has invested in limited partnerships that were formed to provide certain state tax credits. The Company has primarily syndicated these tax credits and the impact to the Consolidated Statements of Income has not been material.

Short-term borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank at December 31, 2024, were part of the Federal Reserve Bank’s Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP). The BTFP borrowing matured and was repaid in January 2025 and had a fixed interest rate of 4.83 %. The line was secured primarily by the Bank’s held-to-maturity investment securities, with assets pledged totaling approximately $ 187.7 million as of December 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had no outstanding borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank.
The Bank enters into sales of securities under agreements to repurchase (reverse repurchase agreements). Reverse repurchase agreements are treated as financings, and the obligations to repurchase securities sold are reflected as a liability in the statements of financial condition. The dollar amount of securities underlying the agreements remains in the asset accounts. The underlying securities sold in the agreements are held by the Bank during the agreement period. All agreements are written on a term of one month or less.
The following table represents the Company’s securities sold under reverse repurchase agreements, by collateral type. These securities contractually mature daily.

NOTE 13: SUBORDINATED NOTES
On June 10, 2020, the Company completed the public offering and sale of $ 75.0 million of its subordinated notes. The notes were due June 15, 2030, and had a fixed interest rate of 5.50 % until June 15, 2025, at which time the rate was to begin floating at a rate expected to be equal to three-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ( SOFR ) plus 5.325 %. The notes were sold at par, resulting in net proceeds, after underwriting discounts and commissions, legal, accounting and other professional fees, of approximately $ 73.5 million. Total debt issuance costs of approximately $ 1.5 million were deferred and amortized over the expected life of the notes, which was five years .
On June 15, 2025, in accordance with the terms of the notes, the Company redeemed all $ 75.0 million aggregate principal amount of the subordinated notes at a redemption price equal to 100 % of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Amortization of the debt issuance costs during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, totaled $ 0 and $ 74,000 , respectively. Amortization of the debt issuance costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, totaled $ 124,000 and $ 223,000 , respectively.
At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, subordinated notes were as follows:

The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries have not been audited recently by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). As a result, federal tax years through December 31, 2020 are now closed. In addition, there were no pending audits by any state jurisdiction at September 30, 2025.
NOTE 15: DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements , defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Topic 820 also specifies a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
● Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1): Inputs that are quoted unadjusted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market for the asset is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
● Other observable inputs (Level 2): Inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity including quoted prices for similar assets, quoted prices for securities in inactive markets and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
● Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): Inputs that reflect assumptions of a source independent of the reporting entity or the reporting entity’s own assumptions that are supported by little or no market activity or observable inputs.
Financial instruments are broken down by recurring or nonrecurring measurement status. Recurring assets are initially measured at fair value and are required to be remeasured at fair value in the financial statements at each reporting date. Assets measured on a nonrecurring basis are assets that, due to an event or circumstance, were required to be remeasured at fair value after initial recognition in the financial statements at some time during the reporting period.
The Company considers transfers between the levels of the hierarchy to be recognized at the end of related reporting periods.

The following is a description of inputs and valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying statements of financial condition at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. There were no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025.
Available-for-Sale Securities. Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair values used by the Company are obtained from an independent pricing service, which represent either quoted market prices for the identical asset or fair values determined by pricing models, or other model-based valuation techniques, that consider observable market data, such as interest rate volatilities, SOFR yield curve, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems. Recurring Level 2 securities include U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, state and municipal bonds and certain other investments. Inputs used for valuing Level 2 securities include observable data that may include dealer quotes, benchmark yields, market spreads, live trading levels and market consensus prepayment speeds, among other things. Additional inputs include indicative values derived from the independent pricing service’s proprietary computerized models. There were no recurring Level 3 securities at September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Interest Rate Derivatives. The fair values are estimated using forward-looking interest rate curves and are determined using observable market rates and, therefore, are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Nonrecurring Measurements

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and recognized in the accompanying statements of financial condition, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. For assets classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the process used to develop the reported fair value is described below.
Loans Held for Sale. Mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value. The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics. As such, the Company classifies mortgage loans held for sale as Nonrecurring Level 2. Write-downs to fair value typically do not occur as the Company generally enters into commitments to sell individual mortgage loans at the time the loan is originated to reduce market risk. The Company typically does not have commercial loans held for sale. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the aggregate fair value of mortgage loans held for sale was not materially different than their cost. Accordingly, no mortgage loans held for sale were marked down and reported at fair value.
Collateral-Dependent Loans . The Company records collateral-dependent loans as Nonrecurring Level 3. If a loan’s fair value as estimated by the Company is less than its carrying value, the Company either records a charge-off of the portion of the loan that exceeds the fair value or establishes a reserve within the allowance for credit losses specific to the loan. Loans for which such charge-offs or reserves were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, are shown in the table above (net of reserves).
Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale. Foreclosed assets held for sale are initially recorded at fair value less estimated cost to sell at the date of foreclosure. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less estimated cost to sell. Foreclosed assets held for sale are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. There were no foreclosed assets held for sale at September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024 which had valuation write-downs subsequent to the initial recording of the assets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying statements of financial condition at amounts other than fair value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Federal Home Loan Bank Stock. The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Held-to-Maturity Securities. Fair values for held-to-maturity securities are estimated based on quoted market prices of similar securities. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service, which represent either quoted market prices for the identical asset or fair values determined by pricing models, or other model-based valuation techniques, that consider observable market data, such as interest rate volatilities, SOFR yield curve, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems. These securities include U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, state and municipal bonds and certain other investments.
29
Loans and Interest Receivable. The fair value of loans is estimated on an exit price basis incorporating contractual cash flows, prepayment discount spreads, credit loss and liquidity premiums. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.
Deposits and Accrued Interest Payable. The fair value of demand deposits and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date, i.e., their carrying amounts. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated based on a discounted cash flow calculation using the average advances yield curve from 11 districts of the FHLB for the as of date. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.
Short-Term Borrowings. The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Subordinated Debentures Issued to Capital Trusts. The subordinated debentures have floating rates that reset quarterly. The carrying amount of these debentures approximates their fair value.
Subordinated Notes. The fair values used by the Company are obtained from independent sources and are derived from quoted market prices of the Company’s subordinated notes and quoted market prices of other subordinated debt instruments with similar characteristics.
Commitments to Originate Loans, Letters of Credit and Lines of Credit. The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.
The following table presents estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments not recorded at fair value in the financial statements. The fair values of certain of these instruments were calculated by discounting expected cash flows, which involves significant judgments by management and uncertainties. Fair value is the estimated amount at which financial assets or liabilities could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Because no market exists for certain of these financial instruments and because management does not intend to sell these financial instruments, the Company does not know whether the fair values shown below represent values at which the respective financial instruments could be sold individually or in the aggregate.

NOTE 16: DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its assets and liabilities. In the normal course of business, the Company may use derivative financial instruments (primarily interest rate swaps) from time to time to assist in its interest rate risk management. The Company has interest rate derivatives that result from a service provided to certain qualifying loan customers that are not used to manage interest rate risk in the Company’s assets or liabilities and are not designated in a qualifying hedging relationship. The Company manages a matched book with respect to its derivative instruments in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. In addition, the Company has interest rate derivatives that have been designated in a qualified hedging relationship.
Nondesignated Hedges
The Company has interest rate swaps that are not designated in a qualifying hedging relationship. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain loan customers. The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings.
At September 30, 2025, the Company had five interest rate swaps totaling $ 85.0 million in notional amount with commercial customers, and five interest rate swaps with the same aggregate notional amount with third parties related to its program. At December 31, 2024, the Company had five interest rate swaps totaling $ 86.7 million in notional amount with commercial customers, and five interest rate swaps with the same notional amount with third parties related to its program. In addition, at December 31, 2024, the Company had one participation loan purchased totaling $ 8.4 million, in which the lead institution has an interest rate swap with its customer and the economics of the counterparty swap are passed along to the Company through the loan participation. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized net losses of $ 2,000 and $ 37,000 , respectively, in non-interest income related to changes in the fair value of these swaps. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized net losses of $ 54,000 and $ 57,000 , respectively, in non-interest income related to changes in the fair value of these swaps.
Fair Value Hedges
Interest Rate Swaps . As a strategy to maintain acceptable levels of exposure to the risk of changes in future cash flows due to interest rate fluctuations, in February 2023, the Company entered into interest rate swap transactions. These transactions hedged the risk of certain of its fixed rate brokered deposits. The total notional amount of the swaps was $ 95 million with a termination date of February 28, 2025. Under the terms of the swaps, the Company received a fixed rate of interest of 4.65 % and paid a floating rate of interest equal to USD-SOFR-COMPOUND plus a spread. The floating rate reset monthly and net settlements of interest due to/from the counterparty occurred monthly. To the extent that the fixed rate of interest exceeded USD-SOFR-COMPOUND plus the spread, the Company received net interest settlements, which were recorded as a reduction of deposit interest expense. If USD-SOFR-COMPOUND plus the spread exceeded the fixed rate of interest, the Company was required to pay net settlements to the counterparty and record those net payments as interest expense on deposits.
In January 2024, the Company elected to terminate these swaps prior to their contractual termination date in 2025. The Company received a net settlement payment from the swap counterparty totaling $ 26,500 upon termination. At the time of the early termination, the Company recorded a market value adjustment to the brokered deposits of $ 163,000 , which was amortized as a reduction of interest expense from January 2024 through February 2025.
31
Cash Flow Hedges
Interest Rate Swaps . As a strategy to maintain acceptable levels of exposure to the risk of changes in future cash flows due to interest rate fluctuations, in October 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction as part of its ongoing interest rate management strategies to hedge the risk of its floating rate loans. The notional amount of the swap was $ 400 million with a termination date of October 6, 2025. Under the terms of the swap, the Company received a fixed rate of interest of 3.018 % and paid a floating rate of interest equal to one-month USD-LIBOR. The floating rate was reset monthly and net settlements of interest due to/from the counterparty also occurred monthly. To the extent that the fixed rate of interest exceeded one-month USD-LIBOR, the Company received net interest settlements which were recorded as loan interest income. If USD-LIBOR exceeded the fixed rate of interest, the Company was required to pay net settlements to the counterparty and record those net payments as a reduction of interest income on loans.
In March 2020, the Company and its swap counterparty mutually agreed to terminate the $ 400 million interest rate swap prior to its contractual maturity. The Company was paid $ 45.9 million from its swap counterparty as a result of this termination. This $ 45.9 million, less the accrued interest portion and net of deferred income taxes, was reflected in the Company’s stockholders’ equity as part of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI). This balance was accreted to interest income on loans monthly through the original contractual termination date of October 6, 2025. This had the effect of reducing Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and increasing Net Interest Income and Retained Earnings over the period. The Company recorded $ 2.0 million of interest income related to this terminated swap in each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The Company recorded $ 6.1 million of interest income related to the swap in each of the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024. After October 6, 2025, the accretion of interest income related to the terminated swap concluded.
In March 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction as part of its ongoing interest rate management strategies to hedge the risk of its floating rate loans. The notional amount of the swap was $ 300 million, with a termination date of March 1, 2024. Under the terms of the swap, the Company received a fixed rate of interest of 1.6725 % and paid a floating rate of interest equal to one-month USD-LIBOR (or the equivalent replacement USD-SOFR rate once the USD-LIBOR rate ceased to be available). The floating rate reset monthly and net settlements of interest due to/from the counterparty also occurred monthly. To the extent the floating rate of interest exceeded the fixed rate of interest, the Company was required to pay net settlements to the counterparty and record those net payments as a reduction of interest income on loans. If the fixed rate of interest exceeded the floating rate of interest, the Company received net interest settlements, which were recorded as loan interest income. This interest rate swap reached its contractual termination date on March 1, 2024 and there has been no further interest income impact related to this swap after the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company recorded a reduction of loan interest income related to this swap transaction of $ 1.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
In July 2022, the Company entered into two additional interest rate swap transactions as part of its ongoing interest rate management strategies to hedge the risk of its floating rate loans. The notional amount of each swap is $ 200 million with an effective date of May 1, 2023 and a termination date of May 1, 2028. Under the terms of one swap, the Company receives a fixed rate of interest of 2.628 % and pays a floating rate of interest equal to one-month USD-SOFR OIS. Under the terms of the other swap, the Company receives a fixed rate of interest of 5.725 % and pays a floating rate of interest equal to one-month USD-Prime. In each case, the floating rate resets monthly and net settlements of interest due to/from the counterparty also occur monthly. To the extent the fixed rate of interest exceeds the floating rate of interest, the Company receives net interest settlements, which is recorded as loan interest income. If the floating rate of interest exceeds the fixed rate of interest, the Company pays net settlements to the counterparty and records those net payments as a reduction of interest income on loans. At September 30, 2025, the USD-Prime rate was 7.25 % and the one-month USD-SOFR OIS rate was 4.30757 %. The Company recorded a reduction of loan interest income related to these swap transactions of $ 1.8 million and $ 2.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company recorded a reduction of loan interest income related to these swap transactions of $ 5.3 million and $ 8.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affected earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. During each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized no non-interest income related to changes in the fair value of these derivatives.

Agreements with Derivative Counterparties
The Company has agreements with its derivative counterparties. If the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including a default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. If the Bank fails to maintain its status as a well-capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements. Similarly, the Company could be required to settle its obligations under certain of its agreements if certain regulatory events occur, such as the issuance of a formal directive, or if the Company’s credit rating is downgraded below a specified level.
At September 30, 2025, the termination value of derivatives with our derivative dealer counterparties (related to loan level swaps with commercial lending customers and interest rate swaps to hedge risk related to the Company’s variable rate loans) in an overall net asset position, which included accrued interest but excluded any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $ 25,000 . The Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with its derivative dealer counterparties. At September 30, 2025, the Company had given cash collateral to one derivative counterparty of $ 2.6 million to cover its net fair value position. This counterparty position included collateral from the counterparty of $ 4.9 million for commercial lending swaps and collateral from the Company of $ 7.2 million for interest rate swaps related to variable rate loans.
At December 31, 2024, the termination value of derivatives with our derivative dealer counterparties (related to loan level swaps with commercial lending customers and interest rate swaps to hedge risk related to the Company’s variable rate loans) in an overall net asset position, which included accrued interest but excluded any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $ 79,000 . At December 31, 2024, the Company had given cash collateral to one derivative counterparty of $ 9.9 million to cover its net fair value position. This counterparty position included collateral from the counterparty of $ 8.1 million for commercial lending swaps and collateral from the Company of $ 17.7 million for interest rate swaps related to variable rate loans.
If the Company had breached any of these provisions at September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value. Under the collateral agreements between the parties, either party may choose to provide cash or securities to satisfy its collateral requirements.
NOTE 17: OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Company’s banking operation is its only operating segment. The banking operation is principally engaged in the business of originating residential and commercial real estate loans, construction loans, commercial business loans and consumer loans and funding these loans by attracting deposits from the general public, accepting brokered deposits and borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank and others. The operating results of this segment are regularly reviewed by management to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess performance. The parent holding company does not have any significant operations other than ownership of the Bank, and the parent holding company’s only income is equity in the earnings of the Bank.
Our chief executive officer is our chief operating decision maker. Our chief executive officer reviews actual net income versus budgeted net income, as well as comparison to other comparable financial reporting periods, to assess performance on a monthly basis and to make decisions about allocating capital and personnel.
