Balance Sheet and Net Interest Margin
The Company reported loans HFI of $12.38 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $12.30 billion at the end of the prior quarter. Net growth in loans was attributable to increases of $34.2 million in commercial real estate loans, $28.4 million in residential real estate loans and $26.8 million in commercial and industrial loans offset by a $6.9 million decline in construction loans.
The Company reported total deposits of $13.91 billion at the end of the fourth quarter compared to $13.81 billion at the end of the third quarter. Total cost of deposits decreased to 2.40% during the fourth quarter compared to 2.53% in the third quarter of 2025. Lower costs were driven by the reduction in the federal funds rate, which decreased the expense of the Company's indexed deposits and supported lower costs across other interest-bearing deposits. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $2.63 billion at the end of the quarter compared to $2.69 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2025.
The Company reported net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis of $150.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, up from $148.1 million in the prior quarter. NIM increased to 3.98% for the fourth quarter of 2025 from 3.95% for the previous quarter, driven primarily by lower funding costs, including a 13 basis point reduction in deposit costs. This was partially offset by an 11 basis point decrease in the yield on loans HFI. Net accretion from purchase accounting adjustments impacted margin by 17 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2025.
The contractual yield on loans HFI decreased to 6.34% from 6.45% in the third quarter of 2025 and the cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased to 2.99% from 3.16% in the previous quarter.
Holmes continued, “Our balance sheet delivered modest loan growth in the fourth quarter as several large credits paid down late in the year and others in our pipeline shifted into 2026. For deposits, we remain focused on growing core banking deposits while intentionally reducing non-core funds, building a more durable and valuable funding base. Net interest income on a tax-equivalent

basis was a standout, surpassing $150 million for the quarter. These results reflect our disciplined approach and unwavering focus on building long-term value through strong fundamentals.”
Noninterest Income
Adjusted noninterest income* was $27.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $27.3 million and $24.2 million for the prior quarter and fourth quarter of 2024, respectively.
Mortgage banking income was $13.5 million in both the fourth quarter of 2025 and the prior quarter compared to $10.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Noninterest Expense
Adjusted noninterest expense* during the fourth quarter of 2025 was $100.4 million compared to $93.5 million for the prior quarter and $72.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase reflects higher performance-based compensation resulting from exceeding performance targets. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company’s adjusted efficiency ratio*1was 56.3%, compared to 53.3% in the previous quarter and 54.6% in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Chief Financial Officer Michael Mettee commented, “Adjusted noninterest expense* came in higher than the prior quarter, driven by performance-related accruals, while adjusted operating expenses tracked as expected. In managing expenses and capital investments in our core business, our goal is to continuously create additional operating leverage. We are focused on maximizing value from every dollar spent and positioning the Company for sustained revenue growth.”
Credit Quality
In the fourth quarter, the Company recorded provision expense of $2.4 million related to loans HFI and a provision reversal of $1.2 million associated with unfunded loan commitments. At the end of the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company had an allowance for credit losses on loans HFI of $186.0 million, representing 1.50% of loans HFI compared to $185.0 million, or 1.50% of loans HFI, at the end of the prior quarter.
The Company had net charge-offs of $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, representing annualized net charge-offs of 0.05% of average loans HFI, compared to 0.05% in the prior quarter and 0.47% in the fourth quarter of 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company experienced net charge-offs of $6.7 million, or 0.06% of average loans HFI, compared to 0.14% for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Company’s nonperforming loans HFI as a percentage of total loans HFI increased to 0.97% as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 0.94% in the prior quarter and 0.87% in the fourth quarter of 2024. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets increased to 0.97% as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 0.89% at the end of the prior quarter and 0.93% as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2024.
Holmes commented, “Charge-offs held steady at a very low level through the quarter and nonperforming assets were also relatively stable. Our allowance remains healthy, and our overall credit outlook continues to be stable with the Company well-positioned moving into 2026.”
Capital
The Company maintained its strong capital position in the fourth quarter, resulting in a preliminary total risk-based capital ratio of 13.2%, preliminary common equity tier 1 ratio of 11.4% and tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio* of 9.84%. The Company repurchased 1,717,948 shares during the quarter.
Holmes continued, “We repurchased approximately 3% of our outstanding common shares during the quarter while maintaining a strong tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio* of almost 10%. Our focus remains on optimizing capital utilization, and we will maintain conservative levels of capital as we seek the right opportunities to drive long-term value.”
Summary
Holmes finalized, “We closed the year, with the Company celebrating successes of 2025, but even more excited about 2026. I’m incredibly proud of the team for executing on a strategic combination, driving a successful share repurchase, restructuring the balance sheet, and attracting key talent. These deliberate actions weren’t just about finishing strong; they were about building a foundation for sustainable growth. We enter 2026 with momentum, flexibility and confidence, ready to capitalize on opportunities and deliver long-term value for our shareholders, clients and communities.”

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this Earnings Release that are not historical in nature may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s future plans, results, strategies, and expectations, including expectations around changing economic markets. These statements can generally be identified by the use of the words and phrases “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “goal,” “plan,” “potential,” “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “target,” “aim,” “predict,” “continue,” “seek,” and other variations of such words and phrases and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based upon management’s current expectations, estimates, and projections, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond the Company’s control. The inclusion of these forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that such expectations, estimates, and projections will be achieved. Accordingly, the Company cautions shareholders and investors that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions, and uncertainties that are difficult to predict.

Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this Earnings Release, and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict their occurrence or how they will affect the Company.
The Company qualifies all forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
GAAP RECONCILIATION AND USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This Earnings Release contains certain financial measures that are not measures recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures may include, without limitation, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per common share, adjusted pre-tax pre-provision net revenue, consolidated adjusted revenue, consolidated adjusted and segment noninterest expense and consolidated adjusted noninterest income, consolidated adjusted efficiency ratio (tax-equivalent basis), and adjusted return on average assets and equity. Each of these non-GAAP metrics excludes certain income and expense items that the Company’s management considers to be adjusted in nature. The Company refers to these non-GAAP measures as adjusted measures. Also, the Company presents tangible assets, tangible common equity, tangible book value per common share, tangible common equity to tangible assets, return on average tangible common equity, and adjusted return on average tangible common equity. Each of these non-GAAP metrics excludes the impact of goodwill and other intangibles.
The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in their analysis of the Company’s performance, financial condition and the efficiency of its operations as management believes such measures facilitate period-to-period comparisons and provide meaningful indications of its operating performance as they eliminate both gains and charges that management views as non-recurring or not indicative of operating performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods as well as demonstrate the effects of significant non-adjusted gains and charges in the current and prior periods. The Company’s management also believes that investors find these non-GAAP financial measures useful as they assist investors in understanding the Company’s underlying operating performance and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. In addition, because intangible assets such as goodwill and the other items excluded each vary extensively from company to company, the Company believes that the presentation of this information allows investors to more easily compare the Company’s results to the results of other companies. However, the non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which the Company calculates the non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. Investors should understand how such other banking organizations calculate their financial measures with names similar to the non-GAAP financial measures the Company has discussed herein when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.
A reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the Company’s Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Supplement, which is available at https://investors.firstbankonline.com.
