Annual fluctuations in the Company's net income are driven primarily by four factors.
The first factor is credit loss expense.

+Added: The majority of the Company's interest earning assets are in loans outstanding, which were $3.565 billion at December 31, 2025.
Credit loss expense was $12.33 million in 2025 compared to $2.21 million in 2024.

−Removed: The Company believes that credit loss expense is expected to be dependent on the Company's loan growth, local economic conditions, and asset quality.
+Added: Because the majority of the Company’s interest‑earning assets are comprised of loans, the level of credit loss expense can vary from year to year based on changes in the loan portfolio and the credit environment.
+Added: In 2025, credit loss expense increased compared to the prior year largely due to updated economic expectations, growth in outstanding loan balances, and movements in model‑driven assumptions.
+Added: These included shifts in economic outlook, changes in borrower payment behaviors, and adjustments to qualitative considerations reflecting portfolio trends and overall credit conditions.
+Added: In addition, net charge‑off activity contributed to higher estimated loss rates for the year.
+Added: The Company expects that future credit loss expense will continue to be influenced by loan growth, changes in economic conditions within its markets, and trends in asset quality.
The second factor affecting the Company’s net income is the interaction between changes in net interest margin and changes in average volumes of the Company's earnings assets.
