Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Commentary

(All comparisons refer to the fourth quarter of 2024, except as noted)

Transportation Invoice and Dollar Volumes – Transportation invoice volumes of 8.4 million decreased 6.1% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Transportation dollar volumes of $9.2 billion increased 1.8% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The average dollars per invoice were $1,093 in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $1,044 in the third quarter of 2025 and $1,008 in the fourth quarter of 2024. Invoice volumes remain lower than prior periods primarily due to the ongoing freight recession, the impact of tariffs, and weather conditions in the most recent period. Dollars per invoice increased as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 due to an increase in overall freight rates, as well as the impact of tariffs. A more detailed analysis of Cass Freight Index® changes can be found at www.cassinfo.com.

Facility Expense Invoice and Dollar Volumes – Facility expense invoice volumes of 4.1 million decreased 0.6% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Facility expense dollar volumes totaled $5.7 billion, an increase of 13.0% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The significant increase in facility dollar volumes was primarily driven by the onboarding of new clients with high dollar volumes in proportion to transaction volumes and rising energy prices.

Processing Fees – Processing fees increased $605,000, or 3.9% over the same period in the prior year due to the AcuAudit acquisition, partially offset by lower transportation and facility transaction volumes.

Financial Fees – Financial fees, earned on a transactional level basis for invoice payment services when making customer payments, decreased $650,000, or 6.2%. The decrease in financial fees was primarily due to a decrease in average payments in advance of funding of 12.9% in addition to changes in the manner whereby facility vendors receive payments. The Company continues to focus on the rollout of its Amplify supply chain finance solution as well as other opportunities to increase payments in advance of funding and resulting financial fees in future quarters.

Net Interest Income – Net interest income increased $3.7 million, or 20.9%. The increase in net interest income was attributable to the net interest margin improving to 3.93% as compared to 3.55% in the same period last year, in addition to an increase in average interest-earning assets of $184.9 million, or 9.1%.

The Company’s net interest margin improvement was driven by increases in the average yield on loans and investment securities of 31 and 72 basis points, respectively, combined with a decrease in the average cost of total deposits of 28 basis points, partially offset by a decrease in the yield on short-term investments of 74 basis points. The increase in loan yield was driven by the continued maturing and re-pricing of existing fixed rate loans to current market interest rates. The increase in the investment securities yield was driven by the partial repositioning of the portfolio at the end of the second quarter as well as purchases of investments at current market rates during the fourth quarter. The decline in the cost of total deposits and yield on short-term investments was driven by the reduction in the federal funds rate.

The Company would expect continued expansion in its net interest margin in future quarters to the extent 3-5 year U.S. Treasury interest rates stay relatively consistent or increase as compared to current levels.

Provision for Credit Losses - The Company recorded a release of credit losses of $389,000 during the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to a provision for credit loss of $92,000 in the fourth quarter of 2024. The release of credit losses for the fourth quarter of 2025 was largely driven by the $27.9 million payoff of a modified loan.

Personnel Expenses - Personnel expenses decreased $2.2 million, or 7.5% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to the termination of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan in the prior year quarter resulting in expense of $3.6 million. Salaries and commissions increased $378,000, or 1.9%, as a result of the AcuAudit acquisition and merit increases, partially offset by a decrease in average full-time equivalent employees (“FTEs”) of 6.0% due to strategic investments in various technology initiatives. Share-based compensation and employee profit sharing increased $464,000 and $40,000, respectively, due to the improvement in earnings. Other benefits increased $471,000, or 11.4%, due to higher health insurance costs, partially offset by the decrease in average FTEs.

The Company expects a continued gradual decline in its FTEs in future quarters as a result of the Facility line of business consolidation in addition to the continued focus on AI-enabled systems.

Equipment Expense - Equipment expense increased $272,000 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 primarily due to an increase in depreciation expense on software related to recently completed technology initiatives.

Other Expense - Other expense increased $1.4 million as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Other expense includes a $1.1 million restructuring charge primarily related to the consolidation of the Company’s non-transportation invoice and payment processing activities into a single Facilities division. The restructuring charge includes write-offs of redundant internally developed software and other assets. The Facility consolidation is expected to result in efficiencies of approximately $1.0 million on an annual basis. Other expense is also higher than previous quarters as a result of an increase in the cost of delivering Canadian utility invoices due to the Canada Post labor dispute, resulting in an increase in expense of $262,000. The labor dispute is not expected to have an impact on expense levels in future quarters.

Income Tax Expense - The Company’s effective tax rate was 18.0% for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to 20.7% for the third quarter of 2025 and 20.3% for the fourth quarter of 2024. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2025 is reflective of purchases of tax-exempt municipal securities during the second half of 2025 and the impact of certain tax credits. The Company expects an effective tax rate of approximately 20.5% in future quarters.

Loans - When compared to September 30, 2025, loans decreased $27.1 million, or 2.5%, due to the aforementioned $27.9 million payoff of a modified franchise loan.

Payments in Advance of Funding – Average payments in advance of funding decreased $26.0 million, or 12.9%, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to the continued consolidation of freight carriers, partially offset by a 1.8% increase in transportation dollar volumes.

Deposits – Average deposits decreased $2.2 million, or 0.2%, when compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 and increased $19.0 million, or 1.9%, as compared to the third quarter of 2025.

Accounts and Drafts Payable - Average accounts and drafts payable increased $178.7 million, or 17.2%, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in these balances, which are non-interest bearing, are primarily reflective of the increase in transportation and facility dollar volumes of 1.8% and 13.0%, respectively.

Shareholders’ Equity - Total shareholders’ equity decreased $451,000 since September 30, 2025 as a result of the repurchase of Company stock of $8.2 million and dividends of $4.1 million, partially offset by net income of $8.2 million and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $2.7 million primarily related to the fair value of available-for-sale investment securities.

Dividend - On January 20, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.32 per share with the dividend payable on March 13, 2026 to shareholders of record on March 3, 2026.

Repurchase of Common Stock - On November 10, 2025, the Company announced a new buyback program with an authorization from the Board of Directors to repurchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company repurchased 201,450 shares of common stock during the current quarter. The Company anticipates further repurchases in coming quarters with an overall objective of maintaining a leverage ratio of approximately 10.00%. Future levels of repurchases will depend on market conditions, earnings, balance sheet growth and potential acquisition opportunities.

Asset Quality - Non-performing loans totaled $7.0 million at December 31, 2025, a decrease of $82,000 as compared to September 30, 2025. The Company is actively working to reduce these loan balances and does not believe there is more than nominal loss exposure in these loans based on collateral position.

All financial information in this earnings release is reported on a continuing operations basis, unless otherwise noted.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain of the financial measures and ratios the Company presents, including “adjusted net income from continuing operations,” and “adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations,” are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company refers to these financial measures and ratios as “non-GAAP financial measures.” The Company considers the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance by excluding certain revenue and expense items that the Company believes are not indicative of its primary business operating results or by presenting certain metrics on a fully taxable equivalent basis. The Company believes that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company’s performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and you should not rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of the Company’s performance. The non-GAAP financial measures the Company presents may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company’s peers or other companies. The Company compensates for these differences by providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever the Company presents the non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of the impact of the components adjusted for in the non-GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual components may be considered when analyzing the Company’s performance. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statement tables.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this release speaks only as of the date of this release. Unless required by law, the Company does not undertake to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
