(1)

Annualized for the nine months ended September 30, 2025; ratios for December 31, 2025 and 2024 represent annual net charge-off rate.

(2)

For purposes of this ratio, commercial loans includes the core C&I and CRE sub-segments as presented in the table above

The ACL at December 31, 2025 represents management's estimate of lifetime expected credit losses, or the amount of amortized cost not expected to be collected, given an assessment of historical data, current conditions, and a reasonable and supportable economic forecast as of the balance sheet date. For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the provision for credit losses, including portions related to both funded and unfunded loan commitments, was $25.6 million, compared to $11.6 million for the immediately preceding quarter ended September 30, 2025 and $11.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The most significant factor impacting the provision for credit losses for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was an increase in specific reserves, primarily related to two C&I loans in unrelated industries. Net charge-offs also impacted the ACL.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was $258.2 million, compared to $250.1 million for the immediately preceding quarter ended September 30, 2025. Interest income decreased by $10.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 while interest expense decreased by $18.6 million. The decline in interest expense related to both a lower average cost of funds and lower average balance of interest bearing liabilities.

The Company’s net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, increased by 0.06% to 3.06% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, from 3.00% for the immediately preceding quarter ended September 30, 2025. Factors impacting the net interest margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 were:

  • The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits declined to 3.15% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, from 3.40% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. This decline reflected actions taken to proactively reduce deposit pricing in response to a lower Federal funds rate and re-pricing of term deposits.
  • The average rate paid on FHLB advances decreased to 3.84% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 from 3.94% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to repayment of higher rate short-term advances.
  • The average cost of interest bearing liabilities declined to 3.26% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 from 3.52% for the prior quarter. The redemption of higher cost senior debt in the third quarter positively impacted the cost of funds.
  • The tax-equivalent yield on loans declined to 5.37% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, from 5.53% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, reflecting the impact of declining market rates on the predominantly floating rate commercial portfolio.
  • The tax-equivalent yield on investment securities decreased to 4.93% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, from 5.13% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. This decrease resulted primarily from the rest of coupon on variable rate securities.

Overall, the reduction in cost of interest bearing liabilities outpaced the decline in yield on interest earning assets.

Non-interest income and Non-interest expense

Non-interest income totaled $30.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to $25.6 million for the immediately preceding quarter ended September 30, 2025, and $25.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025 non-interest income totaled $105.6 million compared to $99.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in non-interest income for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily a result of increases in capital markets revenue, consisting of customer derivative revenue, foreign exchange fees and syndication fees.

Non-interest expense totaled $172.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to $166.2 million for the immediately preceding quarter ended September 30, 2025, and $160.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, non-interest expense totaled $663.5 million compared to $642.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Non-interest expense for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 included $3.8 million of write downs of previously capitalized software. Increases in employee compensation and benefits expense for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the comparable periods of the prior year relate to investments we are making in people to support future growth of the commercial business, regular merit increases, and increased variable compensation cost, related in part to an increase in the Company's stock price.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes this measure is relevant to understanding the capital position and performance of the Company. Disclosure of this non-GAAP financial measure also provides a meaningful basis for comparison to other financial institutions as it is a metric commonly used in the banking industry.

Adjusted net income, EPS and ROA excluding the one-time item are non-GAAP financial measures. Disclosure of these measures enhances the reader's ability to compare the Company's performance for 4Q 2025 to other periods presented.

PPNR is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes this measure is relevant to understanding the performance of the Company attributable to elements other than the provision for credit losses and the ability of the Company to generate earnings sufficient to cover estimated credit losses. This measure also provides a meaningful basis for comparison to other financial institutions since it is commonly employed and is a measure frequently cited by investors and analysts.

The following tables reconciles these non-GAAP financial measurement to the comparable GAAP financial measurements at the dates and for the periods indicated (in thousands except share and per share data):
