Furthermore, no securities held by the Company were delinquent on contractual payments nor were any securities placed on non-accrual status at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. When securities are sold, the adjusted cost of the specific security sold is used to compute the gain or loss on the sale. The Company had no sales of securities available for sale during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and therefore no gains or losses were realized during the periods presented. 14 Table of Contents The following tables show the gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Company’s available for sale securities in an unrealized loss position as of the dates indicated. These available for sale securities are aggregated by major security type and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position: June 30, 2024 Less than 12 months 12 months or longer Total # of holdings Fair Value Unrealized Losses Fair Value Unrealized Losses Fair Value Unrealized Losses (Dollars in thousands) U.S. government agency securities 9 $ — $ — $ 205,882 $ ( 23,946 ) $ 205,882 $ ( 23,946 ) U.S. treasury securities 15 — — 673,415 ( 51,405 ) 673,415 ( 51,405 ) Agency mortgage-backed securities 122 598 ( 4 ) 263,528 ( 38,570 ) 264,126 ( 38,574 ) Agency collateralized mortgage obligations 12 1,026 ( 4 ) 29,906 ( 2,501 ) 30,932 ( 2,505 ) State, county, and municipal securities 1 — — 190 ( 5 ) 190 ( 5 ) Pooled trust preferred securities issued by banks and insurers 1 — — 1,037 ( 143 ) 1,037 ( 143 ) Small business administration pooled securities 8 — — 43,141 ( 7,640 ) 43,141 ( 7,640 ) Total 168 $ 1,624 $ ( 8 ) $ 1,217,099 $ ( 124,210 ) $ 1,218,723 $ ( 124,218 ) December 31, 2023 Less than 12 months 12 months or longer Total # of holdings Fair Value Unrealized Losses Fair Value Unrealized Losses Fair Value Unrealized Losses (Dollars in thousands) U.S. government agency securities 9 $ — $ — $ 207,138 $ ( 23,060 ) $ 207,138 $ ( 23,060 ) U.S. treasury securities 17 — — 769,102 ( 55,495 ) 769,102 ( 55,495 ) Agency mortgage-backed securities 115 1,091 ( 11 ) 273,447 ( 37,235 ) 274,538 ( 37,246 ) Agency collateralized mortgage obligations 12 339 ( 2 ) 31,682 ( 2,528 ) 32,021 ( 2,530 ) State, county, and municipal securities 1 190 ( 5 ) — — 190 ( 5 ) Pooled trust preferred securities issued by banks and insurers 1 — — 1,018 ( 170 ) 1,018 ( 170 ) Small business administration pooled securities 8 — — 46,572 ( 7,130 ) 46,572 ( 7,130 ) Total 163 $ 1,620 $ ( 18 ) $ 1,328,959 $ ( 125,618 ) $ 1,330,579 $ ( 125,636 ) The Company does not intend to sell these investments and has determined, based upon available evidence, that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell each security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. In addition, management does not believe that any of the securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality. As a result, the Company did not recognize a provision for credit losses on these investments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company made this determination by reviewing various qualitative and quantitative factors regarding each investment category, such as current market conditions, extent and nature of changes in fair value, issuer rating changes and trends, volatility of earnings, and current analysts’ evaluations. As a result of the Company’s review of these qualitative and quantitative factors, the causes of the impairments listed in the table above by category were as follows at June 30, 2024: • U.S. Government Agency Securities, U.S. Treasury Securities, Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities, Agency Collateralized Mortgage Obligations and Small Business Administration Pooled Securities: These portfolios have contractual terms that generally do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the current par value of the investment. The decline in market value of these securities is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality. Additionally, these securities are implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. Government or one of its agencies. • State, County and Municipal Securities : This portfolio has contractual terms that generally do not permit the issuer 15 Table of Contents to settle the securities at a price less than the current par value of the investment. The decline in market value of these securities is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality. • Pooled Trust Preferred Securities: This portfolio consists of one security which is performing. The unrealized loss on this security is attributable to the illiquid nature of the trust preferred market in the current economic and regulatory environment. Management evaluates collateral credit and instrument structure, including current and expected deferral and default rates and timing. In addition, discount rates are determined by evaluating comparable spreads observed currently in the market for similar instruments. Held to Maturity Securities The following table summarizes the amortized cost, fair value and allowance for credit losses of held to maturity securities and the corresponding amounts of gross unrealized gains and losses recognized at the dates indicated: June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Allowance for credit losses Fair Value Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Allowance for credit losses Fair Value (Dollars in thousands) U.S. government agency securities $ 28,655 $ — $ ( 549 ) $ — $ 28,106 $ 29,521 $ — $ ( 1,113 ) $ — $ 28,408 U.S. treasury securities 100,751 — ( 9,669 ) — 91,082 100,712 — ( 9,177 ) — 91,535 Agency mortgage-backed securities 809,636 71 ( 71,216 ) — 738,491 829,431 175 ( 65,878 ) — 763,728 Agency collateralized mortgage obligations 451,912 — ( 71,966 ) — 379,946 477,517 — ( 69,606 ) — 407,911 Single issuer trust preferred securities issued by banks 1,500 — ( 128 ) — 1,372 1,500 — ( 127 ) — 1,373 Small business administration pooled securities 127,201 — ( 8,329 ) — 118,872 130,426 384 ( 6,157 ) — 124,653 Total held to maturity securities $ 1,519,655 $ 71 $ ( 161,857 ) $ — $ 1,357,869 $ 1,569,107 $ 559 $ ( 152,058 ) $ — $ 1,417,608 Substantially all held to maturity securities held by the Company are guaranteed by the U.S. federal government or other government sponsored agencies and have a long history of no credit losses. As a result, management has determined these securities to have a zero loss expectation and therefore the Company did not record a provision for estimated credit losses on any held to maturity securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Excluded from the table above is accrued interest on held to maturity securities of $ 4.1 million and $ 4.3 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which is included within other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, the Company did not record any write-offs of accrued interest income on held to maturity securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Furthermore, no securities held by the Company were delinquent on contractual payments nor were any securities placed on non-accrual status at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. When securities are sold, the adjusted cost of the specific security sold is used to compute the gain or loss on the sale. The Company had no sales of held to maturity securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and therefore no gains or losses were realized for such periods. The Company monitors the credit quality of held to maturity securities through the use of credit ratings. Credit ratings are monitored by the Company on at least a quarterly basis. As of June 30, 2024, all held to maturity securities held by the Company were rated investment grade or higher. 16 Table of Contents The actual maturities of certain available for sale or held to maturity securities may differ from the contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The carrying value of securities pledged to secure public funds, trust deposits, and for other purposes, as required or permitted by law, was $ 2.2 billion and $ 1.7 billion at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no investments in obligations of individual states, counties, or municipalities which exceeded 10% of consolidated stockholders’ equity. 17 Table of Contents NOTE 3 - LOANS, ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES AND CREDIT QUALITY Loans Held for Investment and Allowance for Credit Losses The following table summarizes the change in allowance for credit losses by loan category, and bifurcates the amount of loans allocated to each loan category for the period indicated: Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 (Dollars in thousands) Commercial and Industrial Commercial Real Estate Commercial Construction Small Business Residential Real Estate Home Equity Other Consumer Total Allowance for credit losses Beginning balance $ 20,489 $ 77,929 $ 7,573 $ 4,028 $ 24,180 $ 12,042 $ 707 $ 146,948 Charge-offs — — — ( 60 ) — ( 11 ) ( 737 ) ( 808 ) Recoveries 2 — — 12 — 148 307 469 Provision for (release of) credit losses 393 2,572 231 79 656 ( 424 ) 743 4,250 Ending balance (1) $ 20,884 $ 80,501 $ 7,804 $ 4,059 $ 24,836 $ 11,755 $ 1,020 $ 150,859 Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 (Dollars in thousands) Commercial and Industrial Commercial Real Estate Commercial Construction Small Business Residential Real Estate Home Equity Other Consumer Total Allowance for credit losses Beginning balance $ 36,932 $ 76,198 $ 9,248 $ 3,338 $ 20,454 $ 12,428 $ 533 $ 159,131 Charge-offs ( 23,190 ) — — ( 59 ) — — ( 518 ) ( 23,767 ) Recoveries 16 — — 8 — 10 249 283 Provision for (release of) credit losses 1,384 2,198 ( 210 ) 319 1,011 ( 5 ) 303 5,000 Ending balance (1) $ 15,142 $ 78,396 $ 9,038 $ 3,606 $ 21,465 $ 12,433 $ 567 $ 140,647 Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 (Dollars in thousands) Commercial and Industrial Commercial Real Estate Commercial Construction Small Business Residential Real Estate Home Equity Other Consumer Total Allowance for credit losses Beginning balance $ 19,243 $ 74,148 $ 7,683 $ 3,963 $ 23,637 $ 12,797 $ 751 $ 142,222 Charge-offs — — — ( 169 ) — ( 11 ) ( 1,509 ) ( 1,689 ) Recoveries 87 — — 51 — 281 657 1,076 Provision for (release of) credit losses 1,554 6,353 121 214 1,199 ( 1,312 ) 1,121 9,250 Ending balance (1) $ 20,884 $ 80,501 $ 7,804 $ 4,059 $ 24,836 $ 11,755 $ 1,020 $ 150,859 Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 (Dollars in thousands) Commercial and Industrial Commercial Real Estate Commercial Construction Small Business Residential Real Estate Home Equity Other Consumer Total Allowance for credit losses Beginning balance $ 27,559 $ 77,799 $ 10,762 $ 2,834 $ 20,973 $ 11,504 $ 988 $ 152,419 Charge-offs ( 23,471 ) — — ( 87 ) — — ( 1,024 ) ( 24,582 ) Recoveries 21 — — 39 — 26 474 560 Provision for (release of) credit losses 11,033 597 ( 1,724 ) 820 492 903 129 12,250 Ending balance (1) $ 15,142 $ 78,396 $ 9,038 $ 3,606 $ 21,465 $ 12,433 $ 567 $ 140,647 (1) Balances of accrued interest receivable excluded from amortized cost and the calculation of allowance for credit losses amounted to $ 59.2 million and $ 54.0 million as of June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. 18 Table of Contents The balance of allowance for credit losses increased to $ 150.9 million as of June 30, 2024 compared to $ 142.2 million at December 31, 2023, driven primarily by specific reserve allocation on certain commercial loans as well as net loan growth during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. For the purpose of estimating the allowance for credit losses, management segregated the loan portfolio into the portfolio segments detailed in the above tables. Each of these loan categories possesses unique risk characteristics that are considered when determining the appropriate level of allowance for each segment. Some of the characteristics unique to each loan category include: Commercial Portfolio • Commercial and Industrial : Consists of revolving, nonrevolving, and term loan obligations extended to business and corporate enterprises for the purpose of financing working capital and/or capital investment. Collateral generally consists of accounts receivable, inventory, plant and equipment, real estate, or other business assets. The primary source of repayment is operating cash flow and, secondarily, liquidation of assets. • Commercial Real Estate : Consists of mortgage loans to finance investment in real property such as multi-family residential, commercial/retail, office, industrial, hotels, educational and healthcare facilities, as well as other specific use properties and is inclusive of owner-occupied commercial properties. Loans are typically written with amortizing payment structures. Collateral values are determined based upon third party appraisals and evaluations. Permissible loan to value ratios at origination are governed by Company policy and regulatory guidelines. The primary source of repayment is cash flow from operating leases and rents and, secondarily, liquidation of assets. • Commercial Construction : Consists of short-term construction loans, revolving and nonrevolving credit lines and construction/permanent loans to finance the acquisition, development and construction or rehabilitation of real property. Project types include residential land development, one-to-four family, condominium, and multi-family home construction, commercial/retail, office, industrial, hotels, educational and healthcare facilities as well as other specific use properties. Loans may be written with non-amortizing or hybrid payment structures depending upon the type of project. Collateral values are determined based upon third party appraisals and evaluations. Permissible loan to value ratios at origination are governed by Company policy and regulatory guidelines. Repayment sources vary depending upon the type of project and may consist of proceeds from the sale or lease of units, operating cash flows or liquidation of other assets. • Small Business: Consists of revolving, term loan and mortgage obligations extended to sole proprietors and small businesses for purposes of financing working capital and/or capital investment. Collateral generally consists of pledges of business assets including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory, plant and equipment, or real estate if applicable. The primary source of repayment is operating cash flows and, secondarily, liquidation of assets. For the commercial portfolio the Company typically obtains personal guarantees for payment from individuals holding material ownership interests in the borrowing entities. Consumer Portfolio • Residential Real Estate : Residential mortgage loans held in the Company’s portfolio are made to borrowers who demonstrate the ability to make scheduled payments with full consideration to underwriting factors such as current and expected income, employment status, current assets, other financial resources, credit history and the value of the collateral. Collateral consists of mortgage liens on one-to-four family residential properties. Residential mortgage loans also include loans to construct owner-occupied one-to-four family residential properties. • Home Equity : Home equity loans and credit lines are made to qualified individuals and are primarily secured by senior or junior mortgage liens on one-to-four family homes, condominiums or vacation homes. Each home equity loan has a fixed rate and is billed in equal payments comprised of principal and interest. The majority of home equity lines of credit have a variable rate and are billed in interest-only payments during the draw period. At the end of the draw period, the home equity line of credit is billed as a percentage of the then outstanding principal balance plus all accrued interest over a predetermined repayment period, as set forth in the note. Additionally, the Company has the option of renewing each line of credit for additional draw periods. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income requirements and combined loan to value ratios within established policy guidelines. • Other Consumer: Other consumer loan products include personal lines of credit and amortizing loans made to qualified individuals for various purposes such as debt consolidation, personal expenses or overdraft protection. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income and collateral requirements within established policy guidelines. These loans may be secured or unsecured. 19 Table of Contents Credit Quality The Company continually monitors the asset quality of the loan portfolio using all available information. Based on this information, loans demonstrating certain payment issues or other weaknesses may be categorized as adversely risk-rated, delinquent, nonperforming and/or put on nonaccrual status. Additionally, in the course of resolving such loans, the Company may choose to modify the contractual terms of certain loans to match the borrower’s ability to repay the loan based on their current financial condition. The Company reviews numerous credit quality indicators when assessing the risk in its loan portfolio. For the commercial portfolio, the Company utilizes a 10-point credit risk-rating system, which assigns a risk-grade to each loan obligation based on a number of quantitative and qualitative factors associated with a commercial or small business loan transaction. Factors considered include industry and market conditions, position within the industry, earnings trends, operating cash flow, asset/liability values, debt capacity, guarantor strength, management and controls, financial reporting, collateral, and other considerations. The risk-rating categories for the commercial portfolio are defined as follows: • Pass: Risk-rating “1” through “6” comprises loans ranging from ‘Substantially Risk Free’ which indicates borrowers are of unquestioned credit standing and the pinnacle of credit quality, well established companies with a very strong financial condition, and loans fully secured by cash collateral, through ‘Acceptable Risk,’ which indicates borrowers may exhibit declining earnings, strained cash flow, increasing or above average leverage and/or weakening market fundamentals that indicate below average asset quality, margins and market share. Collateral coverage is protective. • Special Mention: Borrowers exhibit potential credit weaknesses or downward trends deserving management’s close attention. If not checked or corrected, these trends will weaken the Company’s asset and position. While potentially weak, currently these borrowers are marginally acceptable; no loss of principal or interest is envisioned. • Substandard: Borrowers exhibit well defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly liquidation of debt. Loans may be inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any. Normal repayment from the borrower is in jeopardy, although no loss of principal is envisioned. However, there is a distinct possibility that a partial loss of interest and/or principal will occur if the deficiencies are not corrected. Collateral coverage may be inadequate to cover the principal obligation. • Doubtful: Borrowers exhibit well defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly liquidation of debt with the added provision that the weaknesses make collection of the debt in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Serious problems exist to the point where partial loss of principal is likely. • Loss: Borrowers deemed incapable of repayment. Loans to such borrowers are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuation as active assets of the Company is not warranted. The Company utilizes a comprehensive, continuous strategy for evaluating and monitoring commercial credit quality. Initially, credit quality is determined at loan origination and is re-evaluated when subsequent actions, such as renewals, modifications or reviews, occur. Actively managed commercial borrowers are required to provide updated financial information at least annually which is carefully evaluated for any changes in credit quality. Larger loan relationships are subject to a full annual credit review by experienced credit professionals, while continuous portfolio monitoring techniques are employed to evaluate changes in credit quality for smaller loan relationships. Any changes in credit quality are reflected in risk-rating changes. Additionally, the Company retains an independent loan review firm to evaluate the credit quality of the commercial loan portfolio. The independent loan review process achieves significant penetration into the commercial loan portfolio and reports the results of these reviews to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. For the Company’s consumer portfolio, the quality of the loan is best indicated by the repayment performance of an individual borrower. As a result, for this portfolio the Company utilizes a pass/default risk-rating system, based on an age analysis (i.e., days past due) associated with each consumer loan. Under this structure, consumer loans less than 90 days past due are assigned a “pass” rating, while any consumer loans 90 days or more past due are assigned a “default” rating. 20 Table of Contents

origination dates in the tables above reflect the original origination date, or the date of a material modification of a previously originated loan. (2) Other consumer portfolio is inclusive of deposit account overdrafts recorded as loan balances and the associated gross write-offs. For the Company’s consumer portfolio, the quality of the loan is best indicated by the repayment performance of an individual borrower. However, the Company does supplement performance data with current Fair Isaac Corporation (“FICO”) scores and Loan to Value (“LTV”) estimates. Current FICO data is purchased and appended to all consumer loans on a regular basis. In addition, automated valuation services and broker opinions of value are used to supplement original value data for the residential real estate and home equity portfolios, periodically. The following table shows the weighted average FICO scores and the weighted average combined LTV ratios at the dates indicated below: June 30 2024 December 31 2023 Residential real estate portfolio FICO score (re-scored)(1) 755 754 LTV (re-valued)(2) 58.7 % 59.8 % Home equity portfolio FICO score (re-scored)(1) 769 770 LTV (re-valued)(2)(3) 43.5 % 43.3 % (1) The average FICO scores at June 30, 2024 are based upon rescores from June 2024 as available for previously originated loans, or origination score data for loans booked in June 2024. The average FICO scores at December 31, 2023 were based upon rescores available from December 2023, as available for previously originated loans, or origination score data for loans booked in December 2023. (2) The combined LTV ratios for June 30, 2024 are based upon updated automated valuations as of May 2024, when available, and/or the most current valuation data available. The combined LTV ratios for December 31, 2023 were based upon updated automated valuations as of November 2023, when available, and/or the most current valuation data available as of such date. The updated automated valuations provide new information on loans that may be available since the previous valuation was obtained. If no new information is available, the valuation will default to the previously obtained data or most recent appraisal. (3) For home equity loans and lines in a subordinate lien, the LTV data represents a combined LTV, taking into account the senior lien data for loans and lines. Unfunded Commitments Management evaluates the need for a reserve on unfunded lending commitments in a manner consistent with loans held for investment. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company's estimated reserve for unfunded commitments amounted to $ 1.4 million and $ 1.5 million, respectively. 23 Table of Contents Asset Quality The Company’s philosophy toward managing its loan portfolios is predicated upon careful monitoring, which stresses early detection and response to delinquent and default situations. Delinquent loans are managed by a team of collection specialists and the Company seeks to make arrangements to resolve any delinquent or default situation over the shortest possible time frame. As a general rule, loans 90 days or more past due with respect to principal or interest are classified as nonaccrual loans. The Company also may use discretion regarding other loans 90 days or more delinquent if the loan is well secured and/or in process of collection. The following table shows information regarding nonaccrual loans as of the dates indicated: Nonaccrual Balances June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 With Allowance for Credit Losses Without Allowance for Credit Losses (1) Total With Allowance for Credit Losses Without Allowance for Credit Losses (1) Total (Dollars in thousands) Commercial and industrial $ 17,793 $ — $ 17,793 $ 19,890 $ 298 $ 20,188 Commercial real estate 23,479 — 23,479 11,911 11,041 22,952 Small business 437 — 437 394 4 398 Residential real estate 10,629 — 10,629 7,634 — 7,634 Home equity 5,090 — 5,090 3,171 — 3,171 Other consumer 23 — 23 40 — 40 Total nonaccrual loans $ 57,451 $ — $ 57,451 $ 43,040 $ 11,343 $ 54,383 (1) Nonaccrual balances reported above without an allowance for credit losses are attributable to loans evaluated on an individual basis where it was determined that there was no risk of loss due to sufficient underlying collateral values. It is the Company's policy to reverse any accrued interest when a loan is put on nonaccrual status, and, as such, the Company did not record any interest income on nonaccrual loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, except for instances where nonaccrual loans were paid off in excess of the recorded book balance. Total accrued interest reversed against interest income amounted to $ 112,000 and $ 345,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $ 497,000 and $ 425,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The following table depicts the amortized cost and payment status of loans that were modified during the previous 12 months as of June 30, 2023: Payment Status (Amortized Cost Basis) Current 30-89 Days Past Due 90+ Days Past Due (Dollars in thousands) Loan Type Commercial and industrial $ 12,963 $ — $ — Commercial real estate 17,211 15,120 — Commercial construction 2,369 — — Small business 149 — — Total $ 32,692 $ 15,120 $ — The Company considers a loan to have defaulted when it reaches 90 days past due. At both June 30, 2024 and 2023, there were no loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the previous 12 months that subsequently defaulted during the three or six months then ended. At June 30, 2024, the Company had $ 275,000 in additional commitments to lend to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty whose loans were modified and included in the above tables for the three and six months then ended. The Company had no such additional commitments at June 30, 2023. Loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are evaluated on a collective basis with loans sharing similar risk characteristics in accordance with the current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology. NOTE 4 - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had the following activity related to stock based compensation: Time Vested Restricted Stock Awards The Company made the following awards of time vested restricted stock: Date Shares Granted Plan Grant Date Fair Value Per Share Vesting Period 2/22/2024 106,200 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan $ 52.73 Ratably over 3 years from grant date 4/15/2024 1,650 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan $ 48.49 Ratably over 3 years from grant date 5/21/2024 11,340 2018 Non-Employee Director Stock Plan $ 52.94 Shares vested immediately Performance-Based Restricted Stock Awards On February 22, 2024, the Company granted 41,200 performance-based restricted stock awards, representing the maximum number of shares that may be earned under the awards, to certain executive level employees. These performance-based restricted stock awards were issued from the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan and were determined to have a grant date fair value per share of $ 52.73 . The number of shares to be vested is contingent upon the Company's attainment of certain performance criteria to be measured at the end of a three-year performance period ending December 31, 2026 . The awards will vest upon the earlier of the date on which it is determined if the performance goal is achieved subsequent to the performance period, or March 15, 2027. On March 14, 2024, the performance-based restricted stock awards that were awarded on February 18, 2021 vested at 80 % of the maximum target shares awarded, or 11,874 shares, net of forfeitures. 29 Table of Contents NOTE 5 - DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally to manage the Company’s interest rate risk. Additionally, the Company enters into interest rate derivatives, foreign exchange contracts and risk participation agreements to accommodate the business requirements of its customers (“customer related positions”). The Company minimizes the market and liquidity risks of customer related positions by entering into similar offsetting positions with broker-dealers. Derivative instruments are carried at fair value in the Company’s financial statements. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument is dependent upon whether or not it qualifies as a hedge for accounting purposes, and further, by the type of hedging relationship. The Company does not enter into proprietary trading positions for any derivatives. The Company is subject to over-the-counter derivative clearing requirements which require certain derivatives to be cleared through central clearing houses. Accordingly, the Company clears certain derivative transactions through the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Clearing House (“CME”). This clearing house requires the Company to post initial and variation margin to mitigate the risk of non-payment, the latter of which is received or paid daily based on the net asset or liability position of the contracts. Interest Rate Positions The Company may utilize various interest rate derivatives as hedging instruments against interest rate risk associated with the Company’s borrowings and loan portfolios. An interest rate derivative is an agreement whereby one party agrees to pay a floating rate of interest on a notional principal amount in exchange for receiving a fixed rate of interest on the same notional amount, for a predetermined period of time, from a second party. The amounts relating to the notional principal amount are not actually exchanged. 30 Table of Contents The following tables reflect the Company’s derivative positions at the dates indicated below for interest rate swaps which qualify as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes: June 30, 2024 Weighted Average Rate Notional Amount Average Maturity Current Rate Received Pay Fixed Swap Rate Fair Value (in thousands) (in years) (in thousands) Interest rate swaps on borrowings $ 400,000 2.08 5.33 % 3.67 % $ 6,920 Current Rate Paid Receive Fixed Swap Rate Interest rate swaps on loans 800,000 2.16 5.34 % 2.70 % ( 32,298 ) Current Rate Paid Receive Fixed Swap Rate Cap - Floor Interest rate collars on loans 200,000 1.93 5.45 % 3.40 % - 2.09 % ( 3,812 ) Total $ 1,400,000 $ ( 29,190 ) December 31, 2023 Weighted Average Rate Notional Amount Average Maturity Current Rate Received Pay Fixed Swap Rate Fair Value (in thousands) (in years) (in thousands) Interest rate swaps on borrowings $ 400,000 2.58 5.34 % 3.67 % $ 1,901 Current Rate Paid Receive Fixed Swap Rate Interest rate swaps on loans 850,000 2.50 5.36 % 2.72 % ( 27,350 ) Current Rate Paid Receive Fixed Swap Rate Cap - Floor Interest rate collars on loans 350,000 1.48 5.45 % 3.09 % - 2.12 % ( 4,714 ) Total $ 1,600,000 $ ( 30,163 ) The maximum length of time over which the Company is currently hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on existing financial instruments is 4.7 years. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedging instruments, the effective portion of the gains or losses is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The Company expects approximately $ 4.9 million (pre-tax) to be reclassified as an increase to net interest income and $ 19.4 million (pre-tax) to be reclassified as a decrease to net interest income, from OCI related to the Company’s cash flow hedges in the twelve months following June 30, 2024. This reclassification is due to anticipated payments that will be made and/or received on the swaps based upon the forward curve at June 30, 2024. The Company had no fair value hedges as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. 31 Table of Contents Customer Related Positions Loan level derivatives, primarily interest rate swaps, offered to commercial borrowers through the Company’s loan level derivative program do not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes. The Company believes that its exposure to commercial customer derivatives is limited because these contracts are simultaneously matched at inception with an offsetting dealer transaction. Derivatives with dealer counterparties are then either cleared through a clearinghouse or settled directly with a single counterparty. The commercial customer derivative program allows the Company to retain variable-rate commercial loans while allowing the customer to synthetically fix the loan rate by entering into a variable-to-fixed interest rate swap. The amounts relating to the notional principal amount are not actually exchanged. Foreign exchange contracts offered to commercial borrowers through the Company’s derivative program do not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes. The Company acts as a seller and buyer of foreign exchange contracts to accommodate its customers. To mitigate the market and liquidity risk associated with these derivatives, the Company enters into similar offsetting positions. The amounts relating to the notional principal amount are exchanged. The Company has entered into risk participation agreements with other dealer banks in commercial loan agreements. Participating banks guarantee the performance on borrower-related interest rate swap contracts. These derivatives are not designated as hedges and, therefore, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. Under a risk participation-out agreement, a derivative asset, the Company participates out a portion of the credit risk associated with the interest rate swap position executed with the commercial borrower for a fee paid to the participating bank. Under a risk participation-in agreement, a derivative liability, the Company assumes, or participates in, a portion of the credit risk associated with the interest rate swap position with the commercial borrower for a fee received from the other bank. 32 Table of Contents The following tables reflect the Company’s customer related derivative positions at the dates indicated below for those derivatives not designated as hedging: Notional Amount Maturing Number of Positions (1) Less than 1 year Less than 2 years Less than 3 years Less than 4 years Thereafter Total Fair Value June 30, 2024 (Dollars in thousands) Loan level swaps Receive fixed, pay variable 275 $ 141,753 $ 274,409 $ 242,867 $ 192,030 $ 909,490 $ 1,760,549 $ ( 109,344 ) Pay fixed, receive variable 275 141,753 274,409 242,867 192,030 909,490 1,760,549 109,251 Foreign exchange contracts Buys foreign currency, sells U.S. currency 21 83,970 — — — — 83,970 ( 1,519 ) Buys U.S. currency, sells foreign currency 21 83,970 — — — — 83,970 1,559 Risk participation agreements Participation out 17 23,932 — — 34,372 91,790 150,094 88 Participation in 12 — 13,016 23,141 — 15,554 51,711 ( 18 ) Notional Amount Maturing Number of Positions (1) Less than 1 year Less than 2 years Less than 3 years Less than 4 years Thereafter Total Fair Value December 31, 2023 (Dollars in thousands) Loan level swaps Receive fixed, pay variable 281 $ 80,682 $ 252,260 $ 223,928 $ 230,513 $ 997,108 $ 1,784,491 $ ( 88,415 ) Pay fixed, receive variable 281 80,682 252,260 223,928 230,513 997,108 1,784,491 88,280 Foreign exchange contracts Buys foreign currency, sells U.S. currency 22 65,586 12,957 — — — 78,543 2,197 Buys U.S. currency, sells foreign currency 22 65,586 12,957 — — — 78,543 ( 2,160 ) Risk participation agreements Participation out 17 — 24,193 — 13,119 114,027 151,339 200 Participation in 8 — — 13,016 18,989 15,725 47,730 ( 44 ) (1) The Company may enter into one dealer swap agreement which offsets multiple commercial borrower swap agreements. 33 Table of Contents Mortgage Derivatives The Company enters into commitments to fund residential mortgage loans at specified rates and times in the future, with the intention that loans may be sold subsequently in the secondary market. Mortgage loan commitments are referred to as derivative loan commitments if the loan that will result from exercise of the commitment will be held for sale upon funding. These commitments are recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet in other assets and other liabilities with changes in their fair values recorded within mortgage banking income. In addition, the Company has elected the fair value option to carry loans held for sale at fair value. The change in fair value of loans held for sale is recorded in current period earnings as a component of mortgage banking income in accordance with the Company’s fair value election. The fair value of loans held for sale increased by $ 113,000 and $ 14,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the respective six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the fair value of loans held for sale increased by $ 183,000 and decreased by $ 3,000 . These amounts were offset in earnings by the change in the fair value of mortgage derivatives. Outstanding loan commitments expose the Company to the risk that the price of the loans arising from exercise of the loan commitment might change from inception of the rate lock to funding of the loan due to changes in mortgage interest rates. If interest rates increase, the value of these loan commitments decreases. Conversely, if interest rates decrease, the value of these loan commitments increases. To protect against the price risk inherent in derivative loan commitments, the Company utilizes both “mandatory delivery” and “best efforts” forward loan sale commitments to mitigate the risk of potential decreases in the values of loans that would result from the exercise of the derivative loan commitments. Mandatory delivery contracts are accounted for as derivative instruments. Included in the mandatory delivery forward commitments are To Be Announced securities (“TBAs”). Certain assumptions, including pull through rates and rate lock periods, are used in managing the existing and future hedges. The accuracy of underlying assumptions will impact the ultimate effectiveness of any hedging strategies. With mandatory delivery contracts, the Company commits to deliver a certain principal amount of mortgage loans to an investor at a specified price on or before a specified date. If the Company fails to deliver the amount of mortgages necessary to fulfill the commitment by the specified date, it is obligated to pay a “pair-off” fee, based on then-current market prices, to the investor/counterparty to compensate the investor for the shortfall. Generally, the Company makes this type of commitment once mortgage loans have been funded and are held for sale, in order to minimize the risk of failure to deliver the requisite volume of loans to the investor and paying pair-off fees as a result. The Company also sells TBA securities to offset potential changes in the fair value of derivative loan commitments. Generally, the Company sells TBA securities by entering into derivative loan commitments for settlement in 30 to 90 days. The Company expects that mandatory delivery contracts, including TBA securities, will experience changes in fair value opposite to the changes in the fair value of derivative loan commitments. With best effort contracts, the Company commits to deliver an individual mortgage loan of a specified principal amount and quality to an investor if the loan to the underlying borrower closes. Generally, best efforts cash contracts have no pair off risk regardless of market movement. The price the investor will pay the seller for an individual loan is specified prior to the loan being funded (e.g., on the same day the lender commits to lend funds to a potential borrower). The Company expects that these best efforts forward loan sale commitments will experience a net neutral shift in fair value with related derivative loan commitments. The aggregate amount of net realized gains on sales of mortgage loans included within mortgage banking income was $ 947,000 and $ 170,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $ 1.5 million and $ 344,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Balance Sheet Offsetting The Company does not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments. The Company does net the amount recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral against the obligation to return cash collateral arising from derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement. Collateral legally required to be maintained at dealer banks by the Company is monitored and adjusted as necessary. A daily settlement occurs through the CME for changes in the fair value of centrally cleared derivatives. Not all of the derivatives are required to be cleared through the daily clearing agent. As a result, the total fair values of loan level derivative assets and liabilities recognized on the Company’s financial statements are not equal and offsetting. 34 Table of Contents The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the balance sheet and the potential effect of netting arrangements on its financial position, at the dates indicated: Asset Derivatives (1) Liability Derivatives (2) Fair Value at Fair Value at Fair Value at Fair Value at June 30 2024 December 31 2023 June 30 2024 December 31 2023 (Dollars in thousands) Derivatives designated as hedges Interest rate derivatives $ 6,920 (3) $ 1,927 (3) $ 36,110 (4) $ 32,090 (4) Derivatives not designated as hedges Customer Related Positions Loan level derivatives 110,610 (3) 99,416 (3) 110,703 (4) 99,551 (4) Foreign exchange contracts 1,561 2,220 1,521 2,183 Risk participation agreements 88 200 18 44 Mortgage Derivatives Interest rate lock commitments 417 168 14 — Forward sale loan commitments 39 17 — — Forward sale hedge commitments 111 — — — Total derivatives not designated as hedges 112,826 102,021 112,256 101,778 Total 119,746 103,948 148,366 133,868 Netting Adjustments (5) ( 56,755 ) ( 48,253 ) 31,341 25,360 Net Derivatives on the Balance Sheet 62,991 55,695 117,025 108,508 Financial instruments (6) 5,280 12,018 5,280 12,018 Cash collateral pledged (received) ( 28,463 ) ( 17,076 ) — — Net Derivative Amounts $ 29,248 $ 26,601 $ 111,745 $ 96,490 (1) All asset derivatives are reflected in other assets on the balance sheet.

(4) Approximately $ 1.3 million and $ 2.8 million of accrued interest payable is included in the fair value of interest rate and loan level derivative liabilities, respectively, at June 30, 2024, in comparison to accrued interest payable of approximately $ 1.9 million and $ 3.0 million, respectively, at December 31, 2023.

If the Company fails to meet these conditions, the counterparties could request the Company make immediate payment or demand that the Company provide immediate and ongoing full collateralization on derivative positions in net liability positions. All derivative instruments with credit-risk contingent features were in a net asset position at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. By using derivatives, the Company is exposed to credit risk to the extent that counterparties to the derivative contracts do not perform as required. Should a counterparty fail to perform under the terms of a derivative contract, the Company’s credit exposure on interest rate swaps is limited to the net positive fair value and accrued interest of all swaps with each counterparty. The Company seeks to minimize counterparty credit risk through credit approvals, limits, monitoring procedures, and obtaining collateral, where appropriate. Institutional counterparties must have an investment grade credit rating and be approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. In addition, certain derivative contracts executed bilaterally with a dealer counterparty in the over-the-counter market are cleared through a clearinghouse, whereby the clearinghouse becomes the counterparty to the transaction. As such, management believes the risk of incurring credit losses on derivative contracts with those counterparties is remote. The Company’s exposure relating to institutional counterparties was $ 116.9 million and $ 95.8 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company’s exposure relating to customer counterparties was approximately $ 679,000 and $ 5.6 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Credit exposure may be reduced by the value of collateral pledged by the counterparty. NOTE 6 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the assumptions applied by the Company when determining fair value reflect those that the Company determines market participants would use to price the asset or liability at the measurement date. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received if the asset were to be sold or that would be paid if the liability were to be transferred in an orderly market transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. When determining fair value, the Company considers pricing information and other inputs that are current as of the measurement date. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and other inputs may be reduced for certain instruments, or not available at all. The unavailability or reduced availability of pricing or other input information could cause an instrument to be reclassified from one level to another. The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) defines fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 36 Table of Contents measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC are described below: Level 1 – Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation Techniques There were no changes in the valuation techniques used during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Securities Trading and Equity Securities These equity securities are valued based on market quoted prices. These securities are categorized in Level 1 as they are actively traded and no valuation adjustments have been applied. U.S. Government Agency and U.S. Treasury Securities Fair value is estimated using either multi-dimensional spread tables or benchmarks. The inputs used include benchmark yields, reported trades, and broker/dealer quotes. These securities are classified as Level 2. Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities Fair value is estimated using either a matrix or benchmarks. The inputs used include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, and issuer spreads. These securities are categorized as Level 2. Agency Collateralized Mortgage Obligations and Small Business Administration Pooled Securities The valuation model for these securities is volatility-driven and ratings based, and uses multi-dimensional spread tables. The inputs used include benchmark yields, reported trades, new issue data, broker dealer quotes, and collateral performance. If there is at least one significant model assumption or input that is not observable, these securities are categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy; otherwise, they are classified as Level 2. State, County, and Municipal Securities The fair value is estimated using a valuation matrix with inputs including bond interest rate tables, recent transactions, and yield relationships. These securities are categorized as Level 2. Single and Pooled Issuer Trust Preferred Securities The fair value of trust preferred securities, including pooled and single issuer preferred securities, is estimated using external pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques. The inputs used in these valuations include benchmark yields, reported trades, new issue data, broker dealer quotes, and collateral performance. If there is at least one significant model assumption or input that is not observable, these securities are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy; otherwise, they are classified as Level 2. Loans Held for Sale The Company has elected the fair value option to account for originated closed loans intended for sale. The fair value is measured on an individual loan basis using quoted market prices and when not available, comparable market value or discounted cash flow analysis may be utilized. These assets are typically classified as Level 2. 37 Table of Contents Derivative Instruments Derivatives The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings. Additionally, in conjunction with fair value measurement guidance, the Company has made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its interest rate derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its interest rate derivatives and risk participation agreements may also utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are properly classified as Level 2. Mortgage Derivatives The fair value of mortgage derivatives is determined based on current market prices for similar assets in the secondary market and, therefore, classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Individually Assessed Collateral Dependent Loans In accordance with the CECL standard, expected credit losses on individually assessed loans deemed to be collateral dependent are valued based upon the lower of amortized cost or fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell. The inputs used in the appraisals of the collateral are not always observable, and in such cases the loans may be classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy; otherwise, they are classified as Level 2. Other Real Estate Owned and Other Foreclosed Assets Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) and Other Foreclosed Assets, when applicable, are valued at the lower of cost or fair value of the property, less estimated costs to sell. The fair values are generally estimated based upon recent appraisal values of the property less costs to sell the property. Certain inputs used in appraisals are not always observable, and therefore OREO and Other Foreclosed Assets may be classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill and other intangible assets are subject to impairment testing. The Company conducts an annual impairment test of goodwill in the third quarter of each year, or more frequently if necessary. Other intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. To estimate the fair value of goodwill and, if necessary, other intangible assets, the Company utilizes both a comparable analysis of relevant price multiples in recent market transactions and a discounted cash flow analysis. Both valuation models require a significant degree of management judgment. In the event the fair value as determined by the valuation model is less than the carrying value, the intangibles may be impaired. If the impairment testing resulted in impairment, the Company would classify the impaired goodwill and other intangible assets subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 3. 38 Table of Contents Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis were as follows at the dates indicated: Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Balance Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) June 30, 2024 (Dollars in thousands) Recurring fair value measurements Assets Trading securities $ 4,384 $ 4,384 $ — $ — Equity securities 21,028 21,028 — — Securities available for sale U.S. government agency securities 205,882 — 205,882 — U.S. treasury securities 673,415 — 673,415 — Agency mortgage-backed securities 266,060 — 266,060 — Agency collateralized mortgage obligations 30,931 — 30,931 — State, county, and municipal securities 190 — 190 — Pooled trust preferred securities issued by banks and insurers 1,037 — 1,037 — Small business administration pooled securities 43,141 — 43,141 — Loans held for sale 17,850 — 17,850 — Derivative instruments 119,746 — 119,746 — Liabilities Derivative instruments 148,366 — 148,366 — Total recurring fair value measurements $ 1,235,298 $ 25,412 $ 1,209,886 $ — Nonrecurring fair value measurements Assets Individually assessed collateral dependent loans (1) $ 25,853 $ — $ — $ 25,853 Total nonrecurring fair value measurements $ 25,853 $ — $ — $ 25,853 39 Table of Contents Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Balance Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) December 31, 2023 (Dollars in thousands) Recurring fair value measurements Assets Trading securities $ 4,987 $ 4,987 $ — $ — Equity securities 22,510 22,510 — — Securities available for sale U.S. government agency securities 207,138 — 207,138 — U.S. treasury securities 769,102 — 769,102 — Agency mortgage-backed securities 277,047 — 277,047 — Agency collateralized mortgage obligations 33,189 — 33,189 — State, county, and municipal securities 190 — 190 — Pooled trust preferred securities issued by banks and insurers 1,018 — 1,018 — Small business administration pooled securities 46,572 — 46,572 — Loans held for sale 6,368 — 6,368 — Derivative instruments 103,948 — 103,948 — Liabilities Derivative instruments 133,868 — 133,868 — Total recurring fair value measurements, net $ 1,338,201 $ 27,497 $ 1,310,704 $ — Nonrecurring fair value measurements Assets Individually assessed collateral dependent loans (1) $ 28,881 $ — $ — $ 28,881 Total nonrecurring fair value measurements $ 28,881 $ — $ — $ 28,881 (1) The carrying value of individually assessed collateral dependent loans is based on the lower of amortized cost or fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell.

Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic factors and estimated liquidation expenses. The range of these possible adjustments may vary. 40 Table of Contents The estimated fair values and related carrying amounts for assets and liabilities for which fair value is only disclosed are shown below at the dates indicated: Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Carrying Value Fair Value Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) June 30, 2024 (Dollars in thousands) Financial assets Securities held to maturity (a) U.S. government agency securities $ 28,655 $ 28,106 $ — $ 28,106 $ — U.S. treasury securities 100,751 91,082 — 91,082 — Agency mortgage-backed securities 809,636 738,491 — 738,491 — Agency collateralized mortgage obligations 451,912 379,946 — 379,946 — Single issuer trust preferred securities issued by banks 1,500 1,372 — 1,372 — Small business administration pooled securities 127,201 118,872 — 118,872 — Loans, net of allowance for credit losses (b) 14,224,230 13,149,417 — — 13,149,417 Federal Home Loan Bank stock (c) 32,738 32,738 — 32,738 — Cash surrender value of life insurance policies (d) 300,111 300,111 — 300,111 — Financial liabilities Deposit liabilities, other than time deposits (e) $ 12,718,154 $ 12,718,154 $ — $ 12,718,154 $ — Time certificates of deposits (f) 2,691,433 2,677,849 — 2,677,849 — Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings (f) 630,527 629,767 — 629,767 — Junior subordinated debentures (g) 62,859 59,657 — 59,657 — 41 Table of Contents Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Carrying Value Fair Value Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) December 31, 2023 (Dollars in thousands) Financial assets Securities held to maturity (a) U.S. government agency securities $ 29,521 $ 28,408 $ — $ 28,408 $ — U.S. treasury securities 100,712 91,535 — 91,535 — Agency mortgage-backed securities 829,431 763,728 — 763,728 — Agency collateralized mortgage obligations 477,517 407,911 — 407,911 — Single issuer trust preferred securities issued by banks 1,500 1,373 — 1,373 — Small business administration pooled securities 130,426 124,653 — 124,653 — Loans, net of allowance for credit losses (b) 14,106,967 13,079,368 — — 13,079,368 Federal Home Loan Bank stock (c) 43,557 43,557 — 43,557 — Cash surrender value of life insurance policies (d) 297,387 297,387 — 297,387 — Financial liabilities Deposit liabilities, other than time deposits (e) $ 12,684,068 $ 12,684,068 $ — $ 12,684,068 $ — Time certificates of deposits (f) 2,181,479 2,166,573 — 2,166,573 — Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings (f) 1,105,541 1,103,845 — 1,103,845 — Junior subordinated debentures (g) 62,858 58,911 — 58,911 — Subordinated debentures (f) 49,980 49,613 — — 49,613 (a) The fair values presented are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments and/or discounted cash flow analysis. (b) Fair value of loans is measured using the exit price valuation method, determined primarily by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities or cash flows, while incorporating liquidity and credit assumptions. Additionally, this amount excludes individually assessed collateral dependent loans, which are deemed to be marked to fair value on a nonrecurring basis. (c) Federal Home Loan Bank stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost; therefore, the carrying amount approximates fair value. (d) Cash surrender value of life insurance policies is recorded at its cash surrender value (or the amount that can be realized upon surrender of the policy), therefore, carrying amount approximates fair value. (e) Fair value of demand deposits, savings and interest checking accounts and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. (f) Fair value was determined by discounting anticipated future cash payments using rates currently available for instruments with similar remaining maturities. (g) Fair value was determined based upon market prices of securities with similar terms and maturities. This summary excludes certain financial assets and liabilities for which the carrying value approximates fair value. For financial assets, these may include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and short-term investments. For financial liabilities, these may include federal funds purchased. These instruments would all be considered to be classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Also excluded from the summary are financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis, as previously described. The Company considers its current use of financial instruments to be the highest and best use of the instruments. 42 Table of Contents NOTE 7 - REVENUE RECOGNITION A portion of the Company’s noninterest income is derived from contracts with customers, and as such, the revenue recognized depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company accounts for such revenues in accordance with ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers and considers the terms of the contract and all relevant facts and circumstances when applying this guidance. To ensure its alignment with this core principle, the Company measures revenue and the timing of recognition by applying the following five steps: 1. Identify the contract(s) with customers 2. Identify the performance obligations 3. Determine the transaction price 4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations 5. Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation The Company has disaggregated its revenue from contracts with customers into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The following table presents the revenue streams that the Company has disaggregated as of the periods indicated: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30 2024 June 30 2023 June 30 2024 June 30 2023 (Dollars in thousands) Deposit account fees (inclusive of cash management fees) $ 6,332 $ 5,508 $ 12,560 $ 11,424 Interchange fees 3,099 3,008 5,996 5,796 ATM fees 1,152 1,000 2,208 1,938 Investment management - wealth management and advisory services 9,634 8,858 18,714 17,043 Investment management - retail investments and insurance revenue 1,353 1,490 2,214 3,084 Payment processing income 449 432 987 902 Credit card income 596 555 1,129 1,048 Other noninterest income 1,366 1,807 2,480 3,005 Total noninterest income in-scope of ASC 606 23,981 22,658 46,288 44,240 Total noninterest income out-of-scope of ASC 606 8,349 8,099 15,985 14,759 Total noninterest income $ 32,330 $ 30,757 $ 62,273 $ 58,999 In each of the revenue streams identified above, there were no significant judgments made in determining or allocating the transaction price, as the consideration and service requirements are generally explicitly identified in the associated contracts. Additional information related to each of the revenue streams is further noted below. Deposit Account Fees The Company offers various deposit account products to its customers governed by specific deposit agreements applicable to either personal customers or business customers. These agreements identify the general conditions and obligations of both parties, and include standard information regarding deposit account related fees. Deposit account services include providing access to deposit accounts as well as access to the various deposit transactional services of the Company. These transactional services are primarily those that are identified in the standard fee schedule, and include, but are not limited to, services such as overdraft protection, wire transfer, and check collection. Revenue is recognized in conjunction with the various services being provided. For example, the Company may assess monthly fixed service fees associated with the customer having access to a deposit account, which can vary depending on the account type and daily account balance. In addition, the Company may also assess separate fixed fees associated with and at the time specific transactions are entered into by the customer. As such, the Company considers its performance obligations to be met concurrently with providing the account access or completing the requested deposit transaction. 43 Table of Contents Cash Management Cash management services are a subset of the Deposit account fees revenue stream. These services primarily include ACH transaction processing, positive pay and remote deposit services. These services are also governed by separate agreements entered into with the customer. The fee arrangement for these services is structured to assess fees under one of two scenarios, either a per transaction fee arrangement or an earnings credit analysis arrangement. Under the per transaction fee arrangement, fixed fees are assessed concurrently with customers executing the transactions, and as such, the Company considers its performance obligations to be met concurrently with completing the requested transaction. Under the earnings credit analysis arrangement, the Company provides a monthly earnings credit to the customer that is negotiated and determined based on various factors. The credit is then available to absorb the per transaction fees that are assessed on the customer's deposit account activity for the month. Any amount of the transactional fees in excess of the earnings credit is recognized as revenue in that month. Interchange Fees The Company earns interchange revenue from its issuance of credit and debit cards granted through its membership in various card payment networks. The Company provides credit cards and debit cards to its customers which are authorized and settled through these payment networks, and in exchange, the Company earns revenue as determined by each payment network's interchange program. The revenue is recognized concurrently with the settlement of card transactions within each network. ATM Fees The Company deploys automated teller machines (ATMs) as part of its overall branch network. Certain transactions performed at the ATMs require customers to acknowledge and pay a fee for the requested service. Certain ATM fees are disclosed in the deposit account agreement fee schedules, whereas those assessed to non-Rockland Trust deposit holders are solely determined during the transaction at the machine. The ATM fee is a fixed dollar per transaction amount, and as such, is recognized concurrently with the overall daily processing and settlement of the ATM activity. Investment Management - Wealth Management and Advisory Services The Company offers investment management and trust services to individuals, institutions, small businesses and charitable institutions. Each investment management product is governed by its own contract along with a separate identifiable fee schedule unique to that product. The Company also offers additional services, such as estate settlement, financial planning, tax services and other special services quoted at the client's request. Asset management and/or custody fees are based upon a percentage of the monthly valuation of the principal assets in the customer's account, whereas fees for additional or special services are fixed in nature and are charged as services are rendered. As the fees are dependent on assets under management, which are susceptible to market factors outside of the Company’s control, this variable consideration is constrained and therefore no revenue is estimated at contract initiation. As such, all revenue is recognized in correlation to the monthly management fee determinations or as transactional services are provided. Due to the fact that payments are primarily made subsequent to the valuation period, the Company records a receivable for revenue earned but not received. The following table provides the amount of investment management revenue earned but not received as of the dates indicated: June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 (Dollars in thousands) Receivables, included in other assets $ 5,893 $ 5,509 Investment Management - Retail Investments and Insurance Revenue The Company offers the sale of mutual fund shares, unit investment trust shares, third party model portfolios, general securities, fixed and variable annuities and life insurance products through registered representatives who are both employed by the Company and licensed and contracted with various Broker General Agents to offer these products to the Company’s customer base. As such, the Company performs these services as an agent and earns a fixed commission on the sales of these 44 Table of Contents products and services. To a lesser degree, production bonus commissions can also be earned based upon the Company meeting certain volume thresholds. In general, the Company recognizes commission revenue at the point of sale, and for certain insurance products, may also earn and recognize annual residual commissions commensurate with annual premiums being paid. Payment Processing Income The Company refers customers to third party payment processing partners in exchange for commission and fee income. The income earned is comprised of multiple components, including a fixed referral fee per each referred customer, a rebate amount determined primarily as a percentage of net revenue earned by the third party from services provided to each referred customer, and overall production bonus commissions if certain new account production thresholds are met. Payment processing income is recognized in conjunction with either completing the referral to earn the fixed fee amount or as the merchant activity is processed to derive the Company’s rebate and/or production bonus amounts. Credit Card Income The Company provides consumer and business credit card solutions to its customers by soliciting new accounts on behalf of a third party credit card provider in exchange for a fee. The income earned is comprised of new account incentive payments as well as a percentage of interchange income earned by the third party provider offering the consumer and business purpose revolving credit accounts. The credit card income is recognized in conjunction with the establishment of each new credit card member or as the interchange is earned by the third party in connection with net purchase transactions made by the credit card member. Other Noninterest Income The Company earns various types of other noninterest income that fall within the scope of the new revenue recognition rules, and have been aggregated into one general revenue stream in the table noted above. This amount includes, but is not limited to, the following types of revenue with customers: Safe Deposit Rent The Company rents out the use of safe deposit boxes to its customers, which can be accessed when the bank is open for business. The safe deposit box rental fee is paid upfront and is recognized as revenue ratably over the annual term of the contract. Foreign Currency The Company earns fee income associated with various transactions related to foreign currency product offerings, including foreign currency bank notes and drafts and foreign currency wires. The majority of this income is derived from commissions earned related to customers executing the above mentioned foreign currency transactions through arrangements with third party correspondents. 45 Table of Contents NOTE 8 - OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) The following tables present a reconciliation of the changes in the components of other comprehensive income (loss) for the periods indicated, including the amount of income tax (expense) benefit allocated to each component of other comprehensive income (loss): Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Pre-Tax Amount Tax (Expense) Benefit After Tax Amount Pre-Tax Amount Tax (Expense) Benefit After Tax Amount (Dollars in thousands) Change in fair value of securities available for sale $ 5,358 $ ( 1,966 ) $ 3,392 $ 1,406 $ ( 1,022 ) $ 384 Less: net security losses reclassified into other noninterest expense — — — — — — Net change in fair value of securities available for sale 5,358 ( 1,966 ) 3,392 1,406 ( 1,022 ) 384 Change in fair value of cash flow hedges ( 2,642 ) 722 ( 1,920 ) ( 10,546 ) 2,883 ( 7,663 ) Less: net cash flow hedge losses reclassified into interest income or interest expense ( 5,030 ) 1,375 ( 3,655 ) ( 10,886 ) 2,976 ( 7,910 ) Net change in fair value of cash flow hedges 2,388 ( 653 ) 1,735 340 ( 93 ) 247 Amortization of net actuarial gains ( 25 ) 7 ( 18 ) ( 50 ) 14 ( 36 ) Amortization of net prior service costs 5 ( 1 ) 4 9 ( 2 ) 7 Net change in other comprehensive income for defined benefit postretirement plans (1) ( 20 ) 6 ( 14 ) ( 41 ) 12 ( 29 ) Total other comprehensive income $ 7,726 $ ( 2,613 ) $ 5,113 $ 1,705 $ ( 1,103 ) $ 602 Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Pre-Tax Amount Tax (Expense) Benefit After Tax Amount Pre-Tax Amount Tax (Expense) Benefit After Tax Amount (Dollars in thousands) Change in fair value of securities available for sale $ ( 14,993 ) $ 3,542 $ ( 11,451 ) $ 7,192 $ ( 1,575 ) $ 5,617 Less: net security losses reclassified into other noninterest expense — — — — — — Net change in fair value of securities available for sale ( 14,993 ) 3,542 ( 11,451 ) 7,192 ( 1,575 ) 5,617 Change in fair value of cash flow hedges ( 14,599 ) 4,105 ( 10,494 ) ( 6,700 ) 1,884 ( 4,816 ) Less: net cash flow hedge losses reclassified into interest income or interest expense ( 7,020 ) 1,974 ( 5,046 ) ( 13,259 ) 3,728 ( 9,531 ) Net change in fair value of cash flow hedges ( 7,579 ) 2,131 ( 5,448 ) 6,559 ( 1,844 ) 4,715 Amortization of net actuarial gains ( 137 ) 39 ( 98 ) ( 274 ) 77 ( 197 ) Amortization of net prior service costs 9 ( 2 ) 7 19 ( 5 ) 14 Net change in other comprehensive income for defined benefit postretirement plans (1) ( 128 ) 37 ( 91 ) ( 255 ) 72 ( 183 ) Total other comprehensive (loss) income $ ( 22,700 ) $ 5,710 $ ( 16,990 ) $ 13,496 $ ( 3,347 ) $ 10,149 (1) The amortization of prior service costs is included in the computation of net periodic pension cost as disclosed in Note 12 - Employee Benefit Plans within the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K. 46 Table of Contents Information on the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, is comprised of the following components as of the dates indicated: Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Securities Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Cash Flow Hedge Defined Benefit Postretirement Plans Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (Dollars in thousands) 2024 Beginning balance: January 1, 2024 $ ( 96,231 ) $ ( 20,575 ) $ 1,979 $ ( 114,827 ) Net change in other comprehensive income (loss) 384 247 ( 29 ) 602 Ending balance: June 30, 2024 $ ( 95,847 ) $ ( 20,328 ) $ 1,950 $ ( 114,225 ) 2023 Beginning balance: January 1, 2023 $ ( 128,657 ) $ ( 36,630 ) $ 2,203 $ ( 163,084 ) Net change in other comprehensive income (loss) 5,617 4,715 ( 183 ) 10,149 Ending balance: June 30, 2023 $ ( 123,040 ) $ ( 31,915 ) $ 2,020 $ ( 152,935 ) NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various transactions to meet the financing needs of its customers, which, in accordance with GAAP, are not included in its consolidated balance sheets. These transactions include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, and loan exposures with recourse, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company minimizes its exposure to loss under these commitments by subjecting them to credit approval and monitoring procedures. The Company enters into contractual commitments to extend credit, normally with fixed expiration dates or termination clauses, at specified rates and for specific purposes. Substantially all of these commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards at the time of loan funding. The Company has certain loan exposures for which there is recourse. These loan relationships could require the Company to repurchase or cover certain losses per agreements for certain loans that are either sold or referred to third parties. Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third party, the Company would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount of the commitment. If the commitment were funded, the Company would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer. The Company’s policies generally require that standby letter of credit arrangements contain security and debt covenants similar to those contained in loan agreements. The fees collected in connection with the issuance of standby letters of credit are representative of the fair value of the Company's obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. In accordance with applicable accounting standards related to guarantees, fees collected in connection with the issuance of standby letters of credit are deferred. The fees are then recognized in income proportionately over the life of the standby letter of credit agreement. The deferred standby letter of credit fees represent the fair value of the Company's potential obligations under the standby letter of credit guarantees. The following table summarizes the above financial instruments at the dates indicated: June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 (Dollars in thousands) Commitments to extend credit $ 4,757,304 $ 4,632,105 Loan exposures sold with recourse 147,782 153,850 Standby letters of credit 22,726 21,427 Deferred standby letter of credit fees 232 155 47 Table of Contents Lease Commitments The Company leases space for offices, parking, and ATM locations, as well as certain branch locations under noncancellable operating leases. Several of these leases contain renewal options to extend lease terms for a period of 1 to 20 years. There has been no significant change in the future minimum lease payments payable by the Company since December 31, 2023. See the Company's 2023 Form 10-K for information regarding leases and other commitments. Other Contingencies At June 30, 2024, the Bank was involved in pending lawsuits that arose in the ordinary course of business. Management has reviewed these pending lawsuits with legal counsel and has taken into consideration the view of counsel as to their outcome. In the opinion of management, the final disposition of pending lawsuits is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
