CEO Commentary

"We are pleased to report a solid start to the year," stated James F. House, President and CEO of the Company. "First quarter 2026 diluted earnings per share improved by 13.8% compared to the same quarter of 2025. Although we saw a modest decline in total loan volume during the quarter, some of which was seasonal, we experienced growth in our core deposit franchise," continued Mr. House. "While the year is certainly off to a volatile start from a geopolitical and economic standpoint, we continue to believe that the Company's balance sheet is well positioned to thrive in multiple scenarios."
