CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include statements relating to our plans, strategies and expectations, near-term loan growth, net interest margin, mortgage banking profits, wealth management fees, expenses, asset quality, capital levels, continued earnings, and liquidity. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of the words "believe," "may," "will," "should," "could," "expect," "estimate," "intend," "anticipate," "project," "plan," "propose," "seek," "continue," "predict" or similar terminology and the negative forms of such words. Forward-looking statements are frequently based on assumptions that may or may not materialize and are subject to numerous uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated or projected and which could materially and adversely affect our operating results, financial condition or prospects include, but are not limited to:
•the strength of the local, state, national, and international economies and financial markets (including effects of inflationary pressures, global energy market conditions, the threat or implementation of tariffs, immigration enforcement and changes in foreign policy);
•policy changes in, and the interpretation and prioritization of, local, state and federal laws, regulations and governmental policies, including executive orders;
•the economic impact of any future terrorist threats and attacks, widespread disease or pandemics, acts of war or other threats thereof (including the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the conflicts in the Middle East), or other adverse events that could cause economic deterioration or instability in credit markets, and the response of the local, state and national governments to any such adverse external events;
•new and revised accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by state and federal regulatory banking agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;
•the imposition of tariffs or other governmental policies impacting the value of products produced by the Company's commercial borrowers;
•changes in interest rates and prepayment rates of the Company’s assets;
•increased competition in the financial services sector, including from non-bank competitors such as credit unions, private credit firms, fintech companies and digital asset service providers and the inability to attract new customers;
•technological changes implemented by us and other parties, including our third-party vendors, which may have unforeseen consequences to us and our customers, including the development and implementation of tools incorporating artificial intelligence;
•unexpected results of acquisitions, which may include failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions and the possibility that transaction costs may be greater than anticipated, including the acquisition of CNB Bank Shares, Inc. ("CNB");
•the loss of key executives and employees, talent shortages and employee turnover;
•changes in consumer spending;
•unexpected outcomes or costs of existing or new litigation or other legal proceedings and regulatory actions involving the Company;
•the economic impact on the Company and its customers of climate change, natural disasters and of exceptional weather occurrences such as tornadoes, floods and blizzards;
•fluctuations in the value of securities held in our securities portfolio, including as a result of changes in interest rates;
•credit risks and risks from concentrations (by type of borrower, geographic area, collateral and industry) within our loan portfolio (including commercial real estate loans) and large loans to certain borrowers;
•the overall health of the local and national real estate market;
•the ability to maintain an adequate level of allowance for credit losses on loans;
•the concentration of large deposits from certain clients who have balances above current FDIC insurance limits and who may withdraw deposits to diversify their exposure;
•the ability to successfully manage liquidity risk, which may increase dependence on non-core funding sources such as brokered deposits, and may negatively impact the Company’s cost of funds;
•the level of nonperforming assets on our balance sheets;
•interruptions involving our information technology and communications systems or those of our third-party servicers;
1

•the occurrence of fraudulent activity, breaches or failures of our third-party vendors’ information security controls or cybersecurity-related incidents, including as a result of sophisticated attacks using artificial intelligence and similar tools or as a result of insider fraud;
•the effectiveness of the Company’s risk management framework and internal disclosure controls and procedures;
•the ability of the Company to manage the risks associated with the foregoing as well as anticipated; and
•the factors discussed in "Risk Factors", "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" or elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 6, 2026.
These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement in the future, or to reflect circumstances and events that occur after the date on which the forward-looking statement was made.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
HBT Financial, Inc. (“HBT Financial” or the “Company”) is headquartered in Bloomington, Illinois and is the holding company for Heartland Bank and Trust Company (“Heartland Bank” or the “Bank”). The Bank provides a comprehensive suite of financial products and services to consumers, businesses, and municipal entities throughout Illinois, eastern Iowa, and suburban St. Louis. Additionally, the Company is subject to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) interim reporting requirements. Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP has been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 6, 2026.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Use of Estimates
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and the reported results of operations for the periods then ended.
Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses and fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation without any impact on the reported amounts of net income or stockholders’ equity.
Subsequent Events
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

Impact of Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
On January 1, 2026, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2025-08, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans, which expands the population of acquired financial assets subject to the gross-up approach in Topic 326. Loans (excluding credit cards) acquired without credit deterioration and deemed "seasoned" are purchased seasoned loans and accounted for using the gross-up approach at acquisition. All non-PCD loans (excluding credit cards) that are acquired in a business combination are deemed seasoned. Other non-PCD loans (excluding credit cards) are seasoned if they were purchased at least 90 days after origination and the acquirer was not involved in the origination of the loans. This standard is applied on a prospective basis and eliminates the day 1 provision for credit losses which prior to adoption of ASU 2025-08 would have been recognized on eligible purchased loans, including the non-PCD loans acquired from CNB Bank Shares, Inc. ("CNB").
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 provides more decision-useful information about a public entity's expenses by requiring additional detail on expenses reported in income statements. Under the ASU, public entities will provide detailed disclosure in interim and annual periods of specified categories underlying certain expense captions. The ASU requires public entities to apply the amendments prospectively, with an option to use retrospective application. The amendments in this update are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements. ASU 2025-09 provides clarification on certain aspects of the guidance on hedge accounting and addresses several incremental hedge accounting issues arising from the global reference rate reform. Consistent with the original objective of ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, the objective of ASU 2025-09 is to more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of an entity's risk management activities. The ASU requires public entities to apply the amendments prospectively. The amendments in this update are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. ASU 2025-11 clarifies interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270, Interim Reporting. The amendments result in a comprehensive list of interim disclosures required by GAAP. The amendment also adds a principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The ASU allows public entities to apply the amendments either prospectively or retrospectively. The amendments in this update are effective for interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In lieu of fractional shares of HBT Financial stock, holders of CNB common stock received cash. Based on the closing price of HBT Financial common stock of $26.96 on February 27, 2026, the aggregate transaction value was approximately $182.1 million.
This transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. Given the timing of the acquisition, fair values are subject to refinement up to one year after the closing date of March 1, 2026. Goodwill of $23.7 million was recorded in the acquisition, which reflects expected synergies from combining the operations of HBT Financial and CNB, and is nondeductible for tax purposes.
The acquisition of CNB further enhanced HBT Financial's footprint in the central Illinois, Chicago MSA, and suburban St. Louis markets. Acquisition-related expenses recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are summarized below.

CNB information was fully integrated into HBT Financial's processes and systems during the system conversion in the first quarter of 2026, and as a result standalone CNB financial results are not available.
The following table provides the pro forma information for the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 as if the acquisition of CNB had occurred on January 1, 2025. The pro forma results combine the historical results of CNB into HBT Financial’s consolidated statements of income, including the impact of certain acquisition accounting adjustments, which include loan discount accretion, securities discount accretion, intangible assets amortization, deposit premium amortization, and borrowing premium amortization. The pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been obtained had the acquisition actually occurred on January 1, 2025. No assumptions have been applied to the pro forma results of operations regarding possible revenue enhancements, provision for credit losses, expense efficiencies or asset dispositions.

U.S. Treasury, U.S. government agency, and agency mortgage-backed securities are considered to have no risk of credit loss as they are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government. The changes in fair value in these portfolios are considered to be primarily driven by changes in market interest rates and other non-credit risks, such as prepayment and liquidity risks.

Municipal securities include general obligation bonds, which have a very low historical default rate due to issuers generally having taxing authority to service the debt, and represent approximately 74% of the total fair value of our municipal securities portfolio as of March 31, 2026. The remainder of the municipal securities are also of high credit quality with ratings of A1/A+ or better. The Company evaluates credit risk through monitoring credit ratings and reviews of available financial data. The changes in fair value in municipal securities were considered to be primarily driven by changes in market interest rates and other non-credit risks, such as call and liquidity risks. The estimated allowance for credit losses for the municipal debt securities held-to-maturity was deemed insignificant.
Corporate securities include investment grade corporate and bank subordinated debt securities. The Company evaluates credit risk through monitoring credit ratings, reviews of available issuer financial data, and sector trends. The changes in fair value in corporate securities were considered to be primarily driven by changes in market interest rates and other non-credit risks, such as call and liquidity risks.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company did not intend to sell the debt securities that are in an unrealized loss position, and it was more likely than not that the Company would recover the amortized cost prior to being required to sell the debt securities.
Accrued interest on debt securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses and totaled $6.7 million and $5.5 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Sales of debt securities were as follows during the three months ended March 31:

Equity Securities
Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities on the consolidated statements of income. The Company has elected to measure equity securities with no readily determinable fair value at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes for identical or similar securities of the same issuer.
The initial cost and carrying values of equity securities, with cumulative net unrealized gains and losses were as follows:

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the cumulative net unrealized losses on equity securities with no readily determinable fair value reflect impairments of $0.2 million and downward adjustments based on observable price changes of an identical investment of $0.2 million. There have been no upward adjustments based on observable price changes to equity securities with no readily determinable fair value.

Allowance for Credit Losses
Management estimates the allowance for credit losses using relevant available information from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The discounted cash flow method is used to estimate expected credit losses for all loan categories, except for consumer loans where the weighted average remaining maturity method is utilized.
At March 31, 2026, the economic forecast used by management anticipates that the unemployment rate will remain relatively flat and that gross domestic product ("GDP") will grow at a modest pace during the next four quarters. After the forecast period, the Company reverts to long-term averages over a four-quarter reversion period. Additionally, management has made qualitative adjustments to the loss estimates to reflect other factors that influence credit losses.

Past Due and Nonaccrual Status
Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. Typically, loans are placed on nonaccrual when they reach 90 days past due, or when, in management’s opinion, there is reasonable doubt regarding the collection of the amounts due through the normal means of the borrower. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed from interest income. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are recognized in accordance with our significant accounting policies. Once a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the borrower must generally demonstrate at least six months of payment performance and we must believe that all remaining principal and interest is fully collectible, before the loan is eligible to return to accrual status.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Company assigns a risk rating to all loans and periodically performs detailed internal reviews of all loans that are part of relationships with over $750 thousand in total exposure to identify credit risks and to assess the overall collectability of the portfolio. During these internal reviews, management monitors and analyzes the financial condition of borrowers and guarantors, trends in the industries in which the borrowers operate and the fair values of collateral securing the loans. These credit quality indicators are used to assign a risk rating to each individual loan. Risk ratings are reviewed annually, at a minimum, and on an as needed basis depending on the specific circumstances of the loan. These risk ratings are also subject to review by the Company’s regulators, external loan review, and internal loan review. Risk ratings are grouped into the following major categories:
Pass – a pass loan is a credit with no existing or known potential weaknesses deserving of management’s close attention.
Pass-Watch – a pass-watch loan is still considered a "pass" credit and is not a classified or criticized asset, but is a reflection of a borrower who exhibits credit weaknesses or downward trends warranting close attention and increased monitoring. These potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan. No loss of principal or interest is expected, and the borrower does not pose sufficient risk to warrant a special mention, substandard, or doubtful classification.
Special Mention – a special mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the assets or in the institution's credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
Substandard – a substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized as probable that the borrower will not pay principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms.
Doubtful – a doubtful loan has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. There were no loans classified as doubtful as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The subordinated notes, which are unsecured obligations of the Company, bear a fixed interest rate of 5.75% from and including March 11, 2026 to, but excluding March 15, 2031, or earlier redemption date. From and including March 15, 2031 to, but excluding the maturity date or earlier redemption date, the subordinated notes bear interest at a floating rate equal to the then-current three-month SOFR plus 2.33%. Interest is payable semi-annually during the fixed rate period and quarterly during the subsequent floating rate period. The subordinated notes have an optional redemption in whole or in part on any interest payment date on or after March 15, 2031. The subordinated notes may be redeemed at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount redeemed, plus any accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

NOTE 9 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Derivative financial instruments are negotiated contracts entered into by two issuing counterparties containing specific agreement terms, including the underlying instrument, amount, exercise price, and maturities. The derivatives accounting guidance requires that the Company recognize all derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company may utilize interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position.
Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedging instruments, net of tax, is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no interest rate swap agreements designated as a cash flow hedge.
The effect of interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges on the consolidated statements of income was as follows:

Interest Rate Swaps Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
The Company may offer interest rate swap agreements to its commercial borrowers in connection with their risk management needs. The Company manages the interest rate risk associated with these contracts by entering into an equal and offsetting derivative with a third-party financial institution. While these interest rate swap agreements generally work together as an economic interest rate hedge, the Company did not designate them for hedge accounting treatment. Consequently, changes in fair value of the corresponding derivative financial asset or liability were recorded as either a charge or credit to current earnings during the period in which the changes occurred.

Total stock-based compensation expense $ 520  $ 410 
Restricted Stock Units
A restricted stock unit grants a participant the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock, following the completion of the requisite service period. Restricted stock units are classified as equity. Compensation cost is based on the Company’s stock price on the grant date and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period for the entire award. Dividend equivalents on restricted stock units, which are accrued until vested, are classified as dividends charged to retained earnings.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the total grant date fair value of the restricted stock units granted was $1.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively, based on the grant date closing prices. The total intrinsic value of restricted stock units that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $1.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Performance Restricted Stock Units
A performance restricted stock unit is similar to a restricted stock unit, except that the number of shares of the Company’s common stock awarded is based on a performance condition and the completion of the requisite service period. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be earned ranges from 0% to 150% of the number of performance restricted stock units granted. Performance restricted stock units are classified as equity. Compensation cost is based on the Company’s stock price on the grant date and an assessment of the probable outcome of the performance condition. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of the entire award. Changes in the performance condition probability assessment result in cumulative catch-up adjustments to the compensation cost recognized. Dividend equivalents on performance restricted stock units, which are accrued until vested, are classified as dividends charged to retained earnings.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the total fair value of the performance restricted stock units granted was $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, based on the grant date closing prices and an assessment of the probable outcome of the performance condition on the grant date. The total intrinsic value of performance restricted stock units that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $0.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Stock Appreciation Rights
A stock appreciation right grants a participant the right to receive an amount of cash, the value of which equals the appreciation in the Company’s stock price between the grant date and the exercise date. Stock appreciation rights are classified as liabilities. The liability is based on an option-pricing model used to estimate the fair value of the stock appreciation rights. Compensation cost for non-vested stock appreciation rights is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of the entire award.
The following is a summary of stock appreciation rights activity:

NOTE 13 – REGULATORY CAPITAL
The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are each subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Bank. Additionally, the ability of the Company to pay dividends to its stockholders is dependent upon the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company.
Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. As allowed under the regulations, the Company and the Bank elected to exclude accumulated other comprehensive income, including unrealized gains and losses on debt securities, in the computation of regulatory capital. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.
Additionally, the Company and the Bank must maintain a “capital conservation buffer” to avoid becoming subject to restrictions on capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments to management. The capital conservation buffer is 2.5% of risk-weighted assets.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company and the Bank each met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

NOTE 14 – SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company’s operations consist of one reportable segment. The President and Chief Executive Officer is the designated chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker uses consolidated financial information for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. The chief operating decision maker uses consolidated net income to benchmark the Company against its competitors. The benchmarking analysis coupled with monitoring of budget to actual results are used to assess performance and in establishing compensation. Interest income from loans and investments as well as noninterest income from deposit customer activity, wealth management activities, and mortgage servicing generate the significant revenues. Interest expense, provisions for credit losses, and noninterest expenses such as compensation, occupancy, and data processing costs constitute the significant expenses. Significant revenues and expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker are detailed in the consolidated statements of income.
NOTE 15 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2 - Significant observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The Company uses fair value to measure certain assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, such as investment securities, mortgage servicing rights, and derivatives. For assets measured at the lower of cost or fair value, the fair value measurement criteria may or may not be met during a reporting period, and such measurements are therefore considered "nonrecurring" for purposes of disclosing the Company's fair value measurements. Fair value is used on a nonrecurring basis to adjust carrying values for loans held for sale, collateral-dependent loans, bank premises held for sale, and foreclosed assets.

Recurring Basis
The following is a description of the methods and significant assumptions used to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities on a recurring basis.
Investment Securities
When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of securities; such items are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For the Company’s securities where quoted prices are not available for identical securities in an active market, the Company determines fair value utilizing vendors who apply matrix pricing for similar bonds where no price is observable or may compile prices from various sources. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including time value, yield curve, volatility factors, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity, current market and contractual prices for the underlying financial instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace. Fair values from these models are verified, where possible, against quoted market prices for recent trading activity of assets with similar characteristics to the security being valued. Such methods are generally classified as Level 2; however, when prices from independent sources vary, cannot be obtained or cannot be corroborated, a security is generally classified as Level 3. The change in fair value of debt securities available-for-sale is recorded through an adjustment to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The change in fair value of equity securities with readily determinable fair values is recorded through an adjustment to the consolidated statement of income.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
The Company has elected to record its mortgage servicing rights at fair value. Mortgage servicing rights do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, the Company determines the fair value of mortgage servicing rights by estimating the fair value of the future cash flows associated with the mortgage loans being serviced as calculated by an independent third party. Key economic assumptions used in measuring the fair value of mortgage servicing rights include, but are not limited to, prepayment speeds and discount rates. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, mortgage servicing rights are classified as Level 3. The change in fair value is recorded through an adjustment to the consolidated statement of income.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value as determined by dealer valuation models. Based on the inputs used, the derivative financial instruments subjected to recurring fair value adjustments are classified as Level 2. For derivative financial instruments designated as hedging instruments, the change in fair value is recorded through an adjustment to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. For derivative financial instruments not designated as hedging instruments, the change in fair value is recorded through an adjustment to the consolidated statement of income.

Nonrecurring Basis
The following is a description of the methods and significant assumptions used to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities on a nonrecurring basis.
Loans Held for Sale
Mortgage loans originated and held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The Company obtains quotes or bids on these loans directly from purchasing financial institutions. Typically, these quotes include a premium on the sale and thus these quotes generally indicate fair value of the held for sale loans is greater than cost. Loans held for sale have been classified as Level 2.
Collateral-Dependent Loans
Periodically, a collateral-dependent loan is evaluated individually and is reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated costs to sell, if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. If the collateral value is not sufficient, a specific reserve is recorded. Collateral values are estimated using recent appraisals and customized discounting criteria. Due to the significance of unobservable inputs, fair values of collateral-dependent loans have been classified as Level 3.
Bank Premises Held for Sale
Bank premises held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated selling costs, at the date classified as held for sale. Values are estimated using recent appraisals and customized discounting criteria. Due to the significance of unobservable inputs, fair values of bank premises held for sale have been classified as Level 3.
Foreclosed Assets
Foreclosed assets are recorded at fair value based on property appraisals, less estimated selling costs, at the date of the transfer. Subsequent to the transfer, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated selling costs. Values are estimated using recent appraisals and customized discounting criteria. Due to the significance of unobservable inputs, fair values of foreclosed assets have been classified as Level 3.

Loans
The fair value estimation process for the loan portfolio uses an exit price concept and reflects discounts the Company believes are consistent with discounts in the marketplace. Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial and industrial, agricultural and farmland, commercial real estate – owner occupied, commercial real estate – non-owner occupied, multi-family, construction and land development, one-to-four family residential, and municipal, consumer, and other. The fair value of loans is estimated 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 similar maturities. The fair value analysis also includes other assumptions to estimate fair value, intended to approximate those a market participant would use in an orderly transaction, with adjustments for discount rates, interest rates, liquidity, and credit spreads, as appropriate.
Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries
The fair values of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries are presumed to approximate carrying amounts.
Time Deposits
Fair values of certificates of deposit with stated maturities have been estimated using the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at rates currently offered for similar instruments. Time deposits also include public funds time deposits.
Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
The fair values of repurchase agreements with variable interest rates are presumed to approximate their recorded carrying amounts.
FHLB Advances
The fair values of FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current rates offered for borrowings with similar remaining maturities and characteristics.
Subordinated Notes
The fair values of subordinated notes are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on rates observed on recent debt issuances by other financial institutions.
Junior Subordinated Debentures
The fair values of subordinated debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on rates observed on recent debt issuances by other financial institutions.
Accrued Interest
The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

The Company estimated the fair value of lending related commitments as described in Note 16 to be immaterial based on limited interest rate exposure due to their variable nature, short-term commitment periods, and termination clauses provided in the agreements.
Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair values have been estimated using data which management considered the best available and estimation methodologies deemed suitable for the pertinent category of financial instrument.

NOTE 16 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Financial Instruments
The Bank is party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
Such commitments and conditional obligations were as follows:
Contractual Amount
(dollars in thousands) March 31, 2026 December 31, 2025
Commitments to extend credit $ 1,108,345  $ 855,014 
Standby letters of credit 35,500  29,727 
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, by the Bank upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include real estate, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, and income-producing properties.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support extensions of credit. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The Bank secures the standby letters of credit with the same collateral used to secure the related loan.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Lending-related Commitments
The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancelable by the Company. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and is adjusted through a charge to provision for credit loss expense on the consolidated statements of income. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments was $5.9 million and $4.1 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The following table sets forth the provision for credit losses on unfunded lending-related commitments for the periods indicated:

After considering business combination accounting adjustments, CNB added total assets of $1.81 billion, total loans held for investment of $1.30 billion, and total deposits of $1.52 billion.
Total consideration consisted of 5.5 million shares of HBT Financial’s common stock and $33.8 million in cash. Based on the closing price of HBT Financial common stock of $26.96 on February 27, 2026, the aggregate consideration was approximately $182.1 million. Goodwill of $23.7 million was recorded in the acquisition. Acquisition-related expenses totaled $15.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026. There were no acquisition-related expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net income was $11.2 million, decreasing by $7.9 million, or 41.3%, when compared to net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily as a result of acquisition-related expenses. Notable changes include the following:
•A $7.7 million increase in net interest income, primarily attributable to higher average interest-earning asset balances following the CNB merger, improved yields on debt securities, and lower funding costs;
•CNB acquisition-related expenses totaled $15.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026;
•Excluding CNB acquisition-related expenses, noninterest expense increased by $4.8 million, primarily reflecting higher base costs following the CNB merger, including a $2.6 million increase in employee salaries and benefits expense;
•A $0.9 million increase in wealth management fees, primarily driven by an increase in assets under management following the CNB merger;
•A $0.2 million positive mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") fair value adjustment included in the 2026 results, compared to a $0.3 million negative MSR fair value adjustment included in the 2025 results; and
•A $2.6 million decrease in income tax expense, primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax income as a result of CNB acquisition-related expenses.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income equals the excess of interest income on interest earning assets (including discount accretion on acquired loans plus certain loan fees) over interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin, which is expressed as the percentage of net interest income to average interest-earning assets, is utilized to measure and explain changes in net interest income.
The following table sets forth average balances, average yields and costs, and certain other information. Average balances are daily average balances. Nonaccrual loans are included in the computation of average balances but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees and costs as well as purchase accounting adjustments that are accreted or amortized to interest income or expense.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The following table sets forth the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for the major categories of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Information is provided for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities with respect to changes attributable to volume (i.e., changes in average balances multiplied by the prior-period average rate), and changes attributable to rate (i.e., changes in average rate multiplied by prior-period average balances). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both volume and rate that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $56.4 million, increasing $7.7 million, or 15.8%, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase is primarily attributable to higher average interest-earning asset balances following the CNB merger, improved yields on debt securities, and lower funding costs. Additionally, a $0.4 million decrease in nonaccrual interest recoveries was mostly offset by a $0.3 million increase in loan fees.
Net interest margin increased to 4.20% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 4.12% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to improved yields on debt securities and lower funding costs. Additionally, a 3 basis point decrease in the contribution of nonaccrual interest recoveries was mostly offset by a 1 basis point increase in the contribution of loan fees.
57

The quarterly net interest margins were as follows:
2026 2025
Three months ended:
March 31 4.20  % 4.12  %
June 30 —  4.14 
September 30 —  4.13 
December 31 —  4.12 
From September 2025 to December 2025, the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") lowered the target range for the federal funds rate with three 25 basis point reductions, setting a target range of 3.50% to 3.75% by the end of 2025. These reductions contributed to a decrease in funding costs and yields on variable rate loans while maturing fixed rate loans and securities continued to reprice at higher rates, resulting in a fairly stable net interest margin throughout 2025. Our net interest margin increased in the first quarter of 2026 driven primarily by higher asset yields and the sale of the vast majority of the CNB securities portfolio, with the proceeds used to pay off higher cost sources of funding and purchase higher yield debt securities.
Decreases in market interest rates, and potential future decreases, may put downward pressure on our net interest margin, as the negative impact on floating rate loans may not be fully offset by the positive impacts of maturing fixed rate loans and securities repricing at higher rates or potential decreases in deposit costs. Generally, we expect increases in market interest rates will increase our net interest income and net interest margin in future periods, while decreases in market interest rates may decrease our net interest income and net interest margin in future periods; however, this depends upon the timing and extent of both short-term and long-term interest rate fluctuations and may not always be the case.

Provision for Credit Losses
The following table sets forth the components of provision for credit losses for the periods indicated:

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Loans $ (415) $ 496

Total provision for credit losses $ (156) $ 576 
Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
The Company recorded a negative provision for credit losses of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a $0.6 million provision during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The 2026 provision for credit losses primarily reflects a $0.3 million decrease in specific reserves, partially offset by changes within the loan portfolio.
The provision for credit losses is highly dependent on current and forecast economic conditions. Potential deterioration of economic conditions may lead to higher credit losses and adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. The economic forecasts utilized in estimating the allowance for credit losses on loans and unfunded lending-related commitments include the unemployment rate and changes in GDP as macroeconomic variables, although other economic metrics and trends are considered on a qualitative basis.

•CNB acquisition-related expenses totaled $15.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, including $8.7 million in data processing, $4.0 million in salaries, and $2.4 million in professional fees and other noninterest expense;
•The $4.8 million increase in noninterest expenses excluding CNB acquisition-related expenses was primarily attributable to a higher base level of noninterest expense, the majority related to salaries and employee benefits; and
•A $0.6 million increase in employee benefits expense, primarily driven by higher medical benefits cost.
Income Taxes
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recorded income tax expense of $3.9 million, or an effective tax rate of 25.6%, and $6.4 million, or an effective tax rate of 25.2%, respectively.

Notable changes in our consolidated balance sheet include the following:
•The CNB merger added $1.81 billion in total assets, $1.30 billion in loans held for investment, and $1.52 billion in total deposits;
•Following the CNB merger, $313.1 million of the debt securities acquired from CNB were sold with the sales proceeds used to pay off higher cost sources of funding and purchase higher yield debt securities;
•Excluding the impact of the CNB merger, a $72.7 million decrease in total deposits was primarily attributable to an $88.9 million decrease in wealth management customer reciprocal money market deposits, of which $85.0 million was moved off-balance sheet due to strong levels of on-balance sheet liquidity; and
•A private placement of $85.0 million of 5.75% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due in 2036 was completed in March 2026.

•A seasonal $26.3 million increase in grain elevator lines of credit within the commercial and industrial segment;
•A $8.0 million reduction on two commercial and industrial lines of credit that funded shortly before and paid off after December 31, 2025;
•Larger payoffs due to refinancings across the multi-family, commercial real estate - non-owner occupied, and municipal, consumer, and other segments were partially offset by increases in the construction and land development and one-to-four family residential segments.

Construction and land development loans totaled $425.3 million as of March 31, 2026. The majority of these loans consist of multi-family and one-to-four family residential construction projects either to be sold upon completion or held for long-term investment, but also include other property types that may be rented, sold, or owner occupied upon completion. Construction and land development loans are primarily based on projected cash flows from the rental or sale of the underlying collateral, or based on the identified cash flows of the borrower.
Management’s disciplined approach to credit risk management is exercised through portfolio diversification, robust underwriting policies, and routine loan monitoring practices in order to identify and mitigate any credit weakness as early as possible. Management continually monitors and evaluates commercial real estate concentrations by property class, industry, and relative to the Bank’s regulatory capital to remain in line with board-established limits and adapt to changing industry conditions. A centralized credit underwriting group, independent of the originating lender, evaluates a vast majority of the commercial exposures over $750 thousand annually, if not more frequently, through a standardized credit review process to ensure uniform application of policies and procedures as well as analyze credit performance. All loans require appropriate internal approval, with a centralized credit approval group reviewing the vast majority of exposures over $1 million. Additionally, more than 45% of loan commitments are reviewed on a rolling 24 month basis between a robust internal review process and an annual third-party review of a sample of the portfolio.
For commercial real estate – non-owner occupied and multi-family loans over $1 million, we evaluate, on a quarterly basis, the impact of current interest rates on the underlying cash flows of the properties securing these loans, based on the most recent cash flow data available. Individual credits with a maturity scheduled within the next five quarters that are presenting stress under current renewal terms are identified, so that ample time is available to develop solutions to manage credit risk. This testing is completed in addition to the various sensitivity testing completed at the initial extension of credit.

*    Annualized measure.
The net charge-offs (recoveries) to average total loans ratio has remained low for several years. While we believe our continuous credit monitoring and collection efforts have resulted in lower levels of credit losses, we also recognize that the relatively stable economic conditions after the COVID-19 pandemic have also contributed to reduced credit losses.

*Annualized measure.
The average balance of deposits increased 13.1% from the three months ended March 31, 2025 to the three months ended March 31, 2026 primarily due to the CNB acquisition, which added $996.5 million of non-maturity deposits and $520.4 million of time deposits on March 1, 2026.
Despite the continued shift towards higher cost deposit products, a reduction in the target range for the federal funds rate during the second half of 2025 contributed to a decrease in funding costs. As a result, total deposit costs have continued to decline.

LIQUIDITY
Bank Liquidity
The overall objective of bank liquidity management is to ensure the availability of sufficient cash funds to meet all financial commitments and to take advantage of investment opportunities. The Bank manages liquidity in order to meet deposit withdrawals on demand or at contractual maturity, to repay borrowings as they mature, and to fund new loans and investments as opportunities arise.
The Bank continuously monitors its liquidity positions to ensure that assets and liabilities are managed in a manner that will meet all of our short-term and long-term cash requirements. The Bank manages its liquidity position to meet our daily cash flow needs, while maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to meet the return on investment objectives. The Bank also monitors liquidity requirements in light of interest rate trends, changes in the economy, the scheduled maturity and interest rate sensitivity of the investment and loan portfolios and deposits, and regulatory capital requirements.
As part of the Bank’s liquidity management strategy, the Bank is also focused on minimizing costs of liquidity and attempts to decrease these costs by promoting noninterest-bearing and low-cost deposits. While the Bank does not control the types of deposit instruments our clients choose, those choices can be influenced with the rates and the deposit specials offered.
Our on-balance sheet sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents as well as unpledged securities which may be sold or pledged as collateral to meet liquidity needs. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our on-balance sheet sources of liquidity included the following:

Federal funds lines of credit —  80,000 
Total $ 12,332  $ 1,196,198 
Furthermore, the Bank has the option to utilize brokered deposits as an additional source of liquidity, as needed.
As of March 31, 2026, management believed the current liquidity and available sources of liquidity are adequate to meet all of the reasonably foreseeable short-term and intermediate-term demands of the Bank. As of March 31, 2026, the Bank had no material commitments for capital expenditures.

Holding Company Liquidity
The Holding Company, or HBT Financial, Inc. on an unconsolidated basis, is a corporation separate and apart from the Bank and, therefore, it must provide for its own liquidity. As of March 31, 2026, the Holding Company had cash and cash equivalents of $28.7 million.
The Holding Company’s main source of funding is dividends declared and paid to it by the Bank. Dividends paid by the Bank to the Holding Company would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause the Bank’s capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements. Management believes that such limitations will not impact the Holding Company’s ability to meet its ongoing short-term or intermediate-term cash obligations. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Bank paid $56.0 million and $7.5 million in dividends to the Holding Company, respectively. Additionally, the private placement of $85.0 million of subordinated notes completed on March 11, 2026 bolstered the cash reserves at the Holding Company with $60.0 million contributed to the Bank during the first quarter of 2026.
The liquidity needs of the Holding Company on an unconsolidated basis consist primarily of operating expenses, interest payments on debt, and shareholder distributions in the form of dividends and stock repurchases. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, holding company operating expenses consisted of interest expense of $1.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively, and other operating expenses of $3.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Additionally, the Holding Company paid $7.3 million and $6.7 million of dividends to stockholders during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
As of March 31, 2026, management was not aware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that had or were reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Holding Company’s liquidity.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
The overall objectives of capital management are to ensure the availability of sufficient capital to support loan, deposit and other asset and liability growth opportunities and to maintain capital to absorb unforeseen losses or write-downs that are inherent in the business risks associated with the banking industry. The Company seeks to balance the need for higher capital levels to address such unforeseen risks and the goal to achieve an adequate return on the capital invested by our stockholders.
Regulatory Capital Requirements
The Company and Bank are each subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements of the Company and the Bank.
In addition to meeting minimum capital requirements, the Company and the Bank must also maintain a “capital conservation buffer” to avoid becoming subject to restrictions on capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments to management. The capital conservation buffer requirement is 2.5% of risk-weighted assets.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject. As of those dates, the Bank was “well capitalized” under the regulatory prompt corrective action provisions.

During 2025, the Company paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.21 per share. In January 2026, the Company announced an increase of $0.02 and paid a $0.23 per share dividend during the first quarter of 2026.
Stock Repurchase Program
Under the Company's stock repurchase program, the Company repurchased 602,855 shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $25.84 during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $30.0 million of its common stock under its stock repurchase program in effect until January 1, 2027. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $14.4 million remaining under the current stock repurchase authorization.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As a financial services provider, the Bank routinely is a party to various financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, unused lines of credit, commitments to sell loans, and interest rate swaps. While these contractual obligations represent our future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process afforded to loans originated by the Bank. For additional information, see “Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies” to the consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Critical accounting estimates are those that are critical to the portrayal and understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and require management to make assumptions that are difficult, subjective, or complex. These estimates involve judgments, assumptions, and uncertainties that are susceptible to change. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending on the severity of such changes, the possibility of a materially different financial condition or materially different results of operations is a reasonable likelihood. Further, changes in accounting standards could impact the Company’s critical accounting estimates. The following accounting estimates could be deemed critical:
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses reflects an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses. Measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The allowance for credit losses is established through a provision for credit losses which is charged to expense. Additions to the allowance for credit losses are expected to maintain the adequacy of the total allowance for credit losses. Loan losses are charged off against the allowance for credit losses when the Company determines the loan balance to be uncollectible. Cash received on previously charged off amounts is recorded as a recovery to the allowance for credit losses.
Management uses the discounted cash flow method to estimate expected credit losses for all loan categories, except for consumer loans where the weighted average remaining maturity method is utilized. The Company uses regression analysis of historical internal and peer data to determine which macroeconomic variables are most closely correlated with credit losses, such as the unemployment rate and changes in GDP. Management leverages economic projections from a reputable third party to form its economic forecasts with a reversion to historical averages for periods beyond a reasonable and supportable forecast period.
Nonaccrual loans and loans which do not share risk characteristics with other loans in the pool are individually evaluated to determine expected credit losses.
The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments is estimated in the same manner as the associated loans, adjusted for anticipated funding rate.
Fair Value of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair value on the acquisition date. Estimating such fair values may require highly subjective assumptions or the use of a valuation specialist. In the CNB acquisition, the fair value for loans was most significant estimate and relatively small changes in assumptions used in this estimate could result in a materially different conclusion.
The fair value for loans was based on a discounted cash flow methodology that considered credit loss and prepayment expectations, market interest rates and other market factors, such as liquidity, from the perspective of a market participant. Loan cash flows were generated on an individual loan basis. The probability of default, loss given default, exposure at default, and prepayment assumptions are key factors in this analysis.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain financial information determined by methods other than those in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present these non-GAAP financial measures, and accordingly believes that providing these measures may be useful for peer comparison purposes. These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for the results determined to be in accordance with GAAP; nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that may be presented by other companies. See our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most closely comparable GAAP financial measures below.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Managing risk is an essential part of successfully managing a financial institution. Our most prominent risk exposures are interest rate risk and credit risk.
Interest Rate Risk
Our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk inherent in the normal course of lending and deposit-taking activities. Interest rate risk is the potential reduction of net interest income as a result of changes in interest rates. Management believes that our ability to successfully respond to changes in interest rates will have a significant impact on our financial results. To that end, management actively monitors and manages our interest rate exposure.
The Company’s Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”), which is authorized by the Company’s board of directors, monitors our interest rate sensitivity and makes decisions relating to that process. The ALCO’s goal is to structure our asset/liability composition to maximize net interest income while managing interest rate risk so as to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income and capital in either a rising or declining interest rate environment. Profitability is affected by fluctuations in interest rates. A sudden and substantial change in interest rates may adversely impact our earnings because the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent or on the same basis.
We monitor the impact of changes in interest rates on our net interest income and economic value of equity (“EVE”) using rate shock analysis. Net interest income simulations measure the short-term earnings exposure from changes in market rates of interest in a rigorous and explicit fashion. Our current financial position is combined with assumptions regarding future business to calculate net interest income under varying hypothetical rate scenarios. EVE measures our long-term earnings exposure from changes in market rates of interest. EVE is defined as the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities at a point in time. A decrease in EVE due to a specified rate change indicates a decline in the long-term earnings capacity of the balance sheet assuming that the rate change remains in effect over the life of the current balance sheet.
The base and shock scenarios in the rate shock analysis assume a static balance sheet, static interest rates, no changes to product mix shift, and cash flow reinvestment at current market interest rates. We also make assumptions for our deposit betas and asset prepayments, based on historical experience.
Deposit Betas
Deposit pricing changes are primarily driven by changes in the federal funds rate, with the relationship between deposit rates and federal funds rate defined as deposit beta. We define cumulative deposit beta as the change in our quarterly cost of deposits divided by the change in the upper level of the stated federal funds rate range over a specified period. During the most recent rising rate cycle, which was from the fourth quarter of 2021 through the second quarter of 2024, our cumulative deposit beta was 23.6%. Since the start of the current falling rate cycle, which began with the third quarter of 2024, our cumulative deposit beta has been 10.7%.
Asset Prepayments
We include prepayment assumptions for both our loan and securities portfolios, based on historical experience. Generally, mortgage portfolio prepayments increase in lower rate environments, while commercial and consumer portfolios have historically remained more consistent throughout rate cycles.
82

The following table sets forth the estimated impact on our EVE and net interest income of immediate and parallel changes in interest rates at the specified levels.

-400 0.6  (5.5) (18.0)
Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in EVE and net interest income requires that we make certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. The EVE and net interest income table presented above assumes that the composition of our interest-rate-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and, accordingly, the data does not reflect any actions that we may undertake in response to changes in interest rates, such as changes in rates paid on certain deposit accounts based on local competitive factors, which could change the actual impact on EVE and net interest income. The table also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or the repricing characteristics of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the EVE and net interest income table provides an indication of our sensitivity to interest rate changes at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income and will differ from actual results.

Credit risk is the risk that borrowers or counterparties will be unable or unwilling to repay their obligations in accordance with the underlying contractual terms. We manage credit risk in the loan portfolio by adhering to well-defined underwriting criteria and account administration standards established by management. Our loan policy documents underwriting standards, approval levels, exposure limits and other limits or standards deemed necessary and prudent. Portfolio diversification at the borrower, industry, and product levels is actively managed to mitigate concentration risk. In addition, credit risk management also includes an independent loan review process that assesses compliance with loan policy, compliance with loan documentation standards, accuracy of the risk rating and overall credit quality of the loan portfolio.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other members of the Company’s senior management. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2026, the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is: (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are sometimes party to legal actions that are routine and incidental to our business. Management, in consultation with legal counsel, does not expect the ultimate disposition of any or a combination of these matters to have a material adverse effect on our assets, business, cash flow, financial condition, liquidity, prospects and results of operations; however, given the nature, scope and complexity of the extensive legal and regulatory landscape applicable to our business, including laws and regulations governing consumer protection, fair lending, fair labor, privacy, information security, and anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws, we, like all banking organizations, are subject to heightened legal and regulatory compliance and litigation risk.
ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 6, 2026.
