Performance Summary
.
Net income attributable to common shareowners totaled $16.9
million, or $0.99 per diluted share, for the first
quarter of 2025 compared to $13.1 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, for
the fourth quarter of 2024, and $12.6 million, or $0.74 per
diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024.
.
Tax-equivalent net
interest income for the first quarter of 2025 totaled $41.6 million, compared to $41.2
million
for the fourth quarter of 2024, and $38.4 million for the first quarter of
Compared to both prior periods, the increase was driven
by higher investment securities interest due to new investment purchases at higher
yields, in addition to lower deposit interest expense,
partially offset by lower loan interest due to lower average loan balances
and interest rates.
Two less calendar days also contributed
to
the decline in loan interest compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.
Higher overnight funds interest also contributed to the increase
over the first quarter of 2024, reflective of a higher level of average earning
assets.
Our net interest margin for the first quarter of
2025 was 4.22%, an increase of five basis points over the fourth quarter of 2024
and an increase of 21 basis points over the first
Provision and Allowance for Credit
Losses.
For the first quarter of 2025, we recorded a provision expense for credit
losses of $0.8
million compared to $0.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 and $0.9
million for the first quarter of 2024. Net loan charge-offs
were nine basis points of average loans for the first quarter of 2025 versus 25 basis points
for the fourth quarter of 2024 and 22 basis
points for the first quarter of 2024. At March 31, 2025, the allowance for credit losses for
loans held for investment (“HFI”) totaled
$29.7 million compared to $29.3 million at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024.
.
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2025 totaled $19.9 million compared to
$18.8 million for the fourth
quarter of 2024 and $18.1 million for the first quarter of 2024. The $1.1 million,
or 6.1%, increase over the fourth quarter of 2024 was
due to a $0.7 million increase in mortgage banking revenues and a $0.5
million increase in wealth management fees, partially offset
by
a $0.1 million decrease in deposits fees. Compared to the first quarter of 2024,
the $1.8 million, or 10.0%, increase was driven by a
$1.1 million increase in wealth management fees and a $0.9 million increase in
mortgage banking revenues, partially offset by a $0.2
million decrease in deposit fees.
.
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2025 totaled $38.7 million compared to $41.8
million for the fourth
quarter of 2024 and $40.2 million for the first quarter of 2024. The $3.1 million,
or 7.4%, decrease from the fourth quarter of 2024,
reflected a $3.1 million decrease in other expense, a $0.1 million decrease
in occupancy expense, and a $0.1 million increase in
compensation expense. Compared to the first quarter of 2024, the
$1.5 million decrease reflected a $1.8 million increase in
compensation expense offset by a $3.1 million decrease
in other expense and a $0.2 million decrease in net occupancy expense.
Compared to both prior periods, the decrease in other expense reflected
lower other real estate expense, primarily due to a $4.4 million
gain from the sale of our operations center building in the first quarter of 2025.

periods was driven by higher deposit balances.
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, the change in the earning asset mix reflected
a
$67.1 million increase in investment securities and a $22.7 million increase
in overnight funds sold partially offset by a $11.5
million
decrease in loans HFI and a $6.3 million decrease in loans held for sale (“HFS”).
Compared to the first quarter of 2024, the change in
the earning asset mix reflected a $180.5 million increase in overnight funds and

Net interest income represents our single largest source of
earnings and is equal to interest income and fees generated by earning assets
less interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities.
This information is provided on a “taxable equivalent” basis to reflect the tax-
exempt status of income earned on certain loans and state and local government
debt obligations.
We provide an
analysis of our net
interest income including average yields and rates in Table
I, “Average Balances &
Interest Rates,” on page 47.
Tax-equivalent net
interest income for the first quarter of 2025 totaled $41.6 million, compared to $41.2 million
for the fourth quarter
of 2024, and $38.4 million for the first quarter of 2024.
Compared to both prior periods, the increase was driven by higher investment
securities interest due to new investment purchases at higher yields, in addition
to lower deposit interest expense, partially offset by
lower loan interest due to lower average loan balances and interest rates.
Two less calendar days
in the first quarter of 2025 also
contributed to the decline in loan interest compared to the fourth quarter
Higher overnight funds interest in the first quarter of
2025 also contributed to the increase over the first quarter of 2024,
reflective of a higher level of average earning assets.
Our net interest margin for the first quarter of 2025 was 4.22%, an increase
of five basis points over the fourth quarter of 2024 and an
increase of 21 basis points over the first quarter of 2024.
For the month of March 2025, our net interest margin was 4.22%.
The
increase in net interest margin over the fourth quarter of 2024 reflected
a higher yield in the investment portfolio driven by new
purchases during the quarter and a lower cost of deposits, partially offset
by a lower overnight funds rate. The increase over the first
quarter of 2024 reflected favorable investment repricing
and a lower cost of deposits, partially offset by lower average loan balances
for both prior periods.
For the first quarter of 2025, our cost of funds was 84 basis points, a decrease of four basis points
from the
fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2024.
Our cost of deposits (including noninterest bearing accounts) was 82 basis points,
86 basis points, and 85 basis points, respectively,
for the same periods.
We recorded
a provision expense for credit losses of $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared
to $0.7 million for the fourth
quarter of 2024 and $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2024.
For the first quarter of 2025, we recorded a provision expense of $1.1
million for loans HFI and a provision benefit of $0.3 million for unfunded loan
commitments, which was comparable to the fourth
See “Allowance for Credit Losses” below for a discussion of the various factors
that impacted our provision expense.
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2025 totaled $19.9 million compared
to $18.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 and
$18.1 million for the first quarter of 2024.
The $1.1 million, or 6.1%, increase over the fourth quarter of 2024 was primarily
due to a
$0.7 million increase in mortgage banking revenues and a $0.5 million increase
in wealth management fees, partially offset by a $0.1
million decrease in deposits fees.
The increase in mortgage revenues was driven by an increase in rate locks and a higher gain
on sale
margin.
The increase in wealth management fees was attributable to a $0.5 million increase in insurance
commission revenue.
Compared to the first quarter of 2024, the $1.8 million, or 10.0%, increase was driven
by a $1.1 million increase in wealth
management fees and a $0.9 million increase in mortgage banking revenues,
partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in deposit fees.
The increase in wealth management fees reflected higher retail brokerage fees
of $0.6 million, insurance commission revenue of $0.3
million, and trust fees of $0.2 million.
The increase in mortgage revenues was driven by an increase in loan fundings
and a higher
gain on sale margin.
Noninterest income represented 32.39% of operating revenues (net interest
income plus noninterest income) for the first quarter of
compared to 31.34% for the fourth quarter of 2024 and 32.06% for the first quarter of 202

Significant components of noninterest income are discussed in more
detail below.
.
Deposit fees for the first quarter of 2025 totaled $5.1 million, a decrease of $0.1
million, or 2.8%,
from the fourth
quarter of 2024 and a decrease of $0.2 million, or 3.6%,
from the first quarter of 2024. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, the
$0.1 million decrease was attributable to a decrease in overdraft fees.
Compared to the first quarter of 2024, the decrease reflected a
$0.1 million decrease in overdraft fees and a $0.1 million decrease in commercial
account analysis fees.
.
Bank card fees for the first quarter of 2025 totaled $3.5 million, a $0.2 million, or 4.9%
,
decrease from the fourth
quarter of 2024 and a $0.1 million, or 2.9%,
decrease from the first quarter of 2024. The decrease from both prior periods reflected
lower debit card usage related to slower consumer spending.
Wealth
Management Fees
.
Wealth management fees,
which include trust fees (i.e., managed accounts and trusts/estates), retail
brokerage fees (i.e., investment, insurance products, and retirement accounts),
and insurance commission revenues,
totaled $5.8
million for the first quarter of 2025, an increase of $0.5 million, or 10.4%, over the
fourth quarter of 2024 and an increase of $1.1
million, or 23.1%, over the first quarter of 2024. The increase over the fourth
quarter of 2024
was due to a $0.5 million increase in
insurance commission revenues.
The increase over the first quarter of 2024 reflected higher retail brokerage
fees of $0.6 million,
insurance commission revenue of $0.3 million, and trust fees of $0.2 million.
At March 31, 2025, total assets under management were
approximately $3.068 billion compared to $3.049 billion
at December 31, 2024 and $2.686 billion at March 31, 2024. Compared to
the prior year, the growth in assets under management
was primarily due to new retail brokerage accounts and to a lesser extent
new
managed trust accounts.
.
Mortgage banking revenues totaled $3.8 million for the first quarter of
2025, an increase of $0.7
million, or 22.5%, over the fourth quarter of 2024 and an increase of $0.9 million,
or 32.7%, over the first quarter of 2024. Compared
to the fourth quarter of 2024, the increase was driven by an increase in rate locks
and a higher gain on sale margin. Compared to the
first quarter of 2024, the increase was primarily due to an increase in loan
fundings and a higher gain on sale margin. We
provide a
detailed overview of our mortgage banking operation, including
a detailed break-down of mortgage banking revenues, mortgage
servicing activity,
and warehouse funding within Note 4 - Mortgage Banking Activities in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Other
.
Other income totaled $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2025, an increase of $0.2 million,
or 15.4%, over the fourth quarter of
2024 and an increase of $0.1 million, or 4.9%, over the first quarter of
- Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, the increase was
primarily attributable to higher miscellaneous income. Compared
to the first quarter of 2024, the increase was primarily attributable to
higher loan servicing income.
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2025 totaled $38.7 million compared
to $41.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 and
$40.2 million for the first quarter of 2024.
The $3.1 million, or 7.4%, decrease from the fourth quarter of 2024 reflected a
$3.1 million
decrease in other expense, a $0.1 million decrease in occupancy expense,
and a $0.1 million increase in compensation expense.
The
decrease in other expense was driven by a $3.5 million decrease in other real estate
expense, which reflected higher gains from the
sale of banking facilities, primarily the sale of our operations center building
in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by a $0.5
million increase in charitable contribution expense.
The slight decrease in occupancy expense was due to lower maintenance/repairs
for buildings and furniture, fixtures and equipment (“FF&E”).
The slight net increase in compensation expense reflected a $0.2
million increase in salary expense offset by a $0.1 million decrease in associate
benefit expense.
Compared to the first quarter of
2024, the $1.5 million, or 3.7%, decrease reflected a $3.1 million decrease in
other expense and a $0.2 million decrease in occupancy
expense that was partially offset by a $1.8 million increase
in compensation expense.
The decrease in other expense was primarily
attributable to a $4.4 million decrease in other real estate expense, which
reflected higher gains from the sale of banking offices,
primarily the aforementioned gain from the sale of our operations center building
in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by
increases in processing expense of $0.6 million and charitable contribution
expense of $0.6 million.
The slight decrease in occupancy
expense was due to lower FF&E depreciation expense and maintenance/repair
expense.
The increase in compensation expense
reflected a $1.3 million increase in salary expense and a $0.5 million increase
in associate benefit expense.
The increase in salary
expense was primarily attributable to increases in base salaries of $0.5 million,
commission expense of $0.5 million, and cash
incentive plan expense of $0.3 million.
Higher associate insurance costs drove the increase in associate benefit expense.

Significant components of noninterest expense are discussed in
more detail below.
Compensation
.
Compensation expense totaled $26.2 million for the first quarter of 2025, an increase
of $0.1 million, or 1.0%, over
the fourth quarter of 2024 and an increase of $1.8 million, or 7.5%, over
the first quarter of 2024. Compared to the fourth quarter of
2024, the slight net increase reflected a $0.2 million increase in salary expense
offset by a $0.1 million decrease in associate benefit
expense. The increase in salary expense was primarily attributable to an
increase in payroll tax expense,
which reflected the annual re-
set of this tax as well as payroll taxes related to a high level of cash/stock incentives
paid in the first quarter. The decrease in associate
benefit expense reflected a slight decrease in the pension plan service cost expense.
Compared to the first quarter of 2024, the increase
was driven by higher salary expense of $1.3 million and associate benefit
expense of $0.5 million. The increase in salary expense was
primarily due to increases in base salaries of $0.5 million (annual merit),
commission expense of $0.5 million, and cash incentive plan
expense of $0.3
million. Higher associate insurance costs drove the increase in associate benefit expense.
Occupancy.
Occupancy expense (including premises and equipment) totaled $6.8
million for the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of
$0.1
million, or 1.5% from the fourth quarter of 2024 and a decrease of $0.2 million, or 2.9%, from
the first quarter of 2024. The
decrease from the fourth quarter of 2024 was primarily due to lower
maintenance and repairs for buildings and FF&E. The decrease
from the first quarter of 2024
reflected lower FF&E depreciation and maintenance agreement expense.
Other
.
Other noninterest expense totaled $5.7 million for the first quarter of
2025, a decrease of $3.1 million, or 35.5%, from the
fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2024. The decrease from
the fourth quarter of 2024 was driven by a $3.5 million
decrease in other real estate expense, which reflected higher gains from
the sale of banking facilities, primarily the sale of our
operations center building in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset
by a $0.5 million increase in charitable contribution expense.
Compared to the first quarter of 2024, the decrease was primarily attributable
to a $4.5 million decrease in other real estate expense,
which reflected higher gains from the sale of banking offices,
primarily the aforementioned gain from the sale of our operations center
building in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by increases in processing
expense of $0.6 million, and charitable contribution
expense of $0.6 million.
Our operating efficiency ratio (expressed as noninterest
expense as a percent of the sum of taxable-equivalent net interest income plus
noninterest income) was 62.93% for the first quarter of 2025 compared
to 69.74% for the fourth quarter of 2024 and 71.06% for the
first quarter of 2024. The improvement in this metric compared to both prior
periods was primarily attributable to lower noninterest
expense in the first quarter of 2025,
which included a $4.4 million gain from the sale of our operations center building.
Higher
revenues (net interest income and noninterest income) also contributed,
but to a lesser extent.
Income Taxes
We realized income
tax expense of $5.1 million (effective rate of 23.3%) for the first quarter of
2025 compared to $4.2 million
(effective rate of 24.3%) for the fourth quarter of 2024 and $3.5
million (effective rate of 23.0%) for the first quarter of 2024.
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, the decrease in our effective
tax rate was primarily due to a discrete item in the first quarter of
2025 related to an excess tax benefit for stock compensation.
Absent discrete items, we expect our annual effective tax rate to
approximate 24% for 2025.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Average earning
assets totaled $3.994 billion for the first quarter of 2025, an increase of $72.0 million, or 1.8%, over
the fourth
quarter of 2024, and an increase of $144.3 million, or 3.7%, over
the first quarter of 2024.
The increase over both prior periods was
driven by higher deposit balances (see below –
).
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, the change in the earning asset mix
reflected a $67.1 million increase in investment securities and a $22.7
million increase in overnight funds sold, partially offset by
a
$11.5 million decrease in loans HFI and a $6.3
million decrease in loans HFS.
Compared to the first quarter of 2024, the change in
the earning asset mix reflected a $180.5 million increase in overnight funds and
a $29.1 million increase in investment securities that
was partially offset by a $62.7 million decrease in loans HFI and
a $2.6 million decrease in loans HFS.
Investment Securities
Average investments
totaled $982.3 million, a $67.1 million, or 7.3%, increase over the fourth quarter
of 2024 and $29.1 million, or
3.1%, increase over the first quarter of 2024. Our investment portfolio represented
24.6% of our average earning assets for the first
quarter of 2025 compared to 23.3% for the fourth quarter of 2024
and 24.8% for the first quarter of 2024. For the remainder of 2025,
we will continue to monitor our overall liquidity position and market
conditions to determine if cash flow from the investment
portfolio should be reinvested or allowed to run-off
into overnight funds.
The investment portfolio is a significant component of our operations and, as such,
it functions as a key element of liquidity and
asset/liability management.
Two types of classifications are approved
for investment securities which are Available
-for-Sale (“AFS”)
and Held-to-Maturity (“HTM”).
At March 31, 2025, $517.2 million, or 52.7%, of the investment portfolio was classified as HTM
and
$461.2 million, or 47.0%, was classified as AFS. The average maturity
of our total portfolio at March 31, 2025 was 2.64 years
compared to 2.54 years at December 31, 2024 and 2.76 years at March
31, 2024. The duration of our investment portfolio at March
31, 2025 was 2.10 years compared to 2.19 years at December 31, 2024 and
2.39 years at March 31, 2024. Additional information on
unrealized gains/losses in the AFS and HTM portfolios is provided
in Note 2 – Investment Securities.
We
determine the classification of a security at the time of acquisition based
on how the purchase will affect our asset/liability strategy
and future business plans and opportunities.
We
consider multiple factors in determining classification, including
regulatory capital
requirements, volatility in earnings or other comprehensive income,
and liquidity needs. Securities in the AFS portfolio are recorded at
fair value with unrealized gains and losses associated with these securities recorded
net of tax, in the accumulated other
comprehensive income component of shareowners’ equity.
HTM securities are acquired or owned with the intent of holding
them to
maturity.
HTM investments are measured at amortized cost.
We
do not trade, nor do we presently intend to begin trading investment
securities for the purpose of recognizing gains and therefore we do not
maintain a trading portfolio.
At March 31, 2025, there were 829 positions (combined AFS and HTM)
with unrealized pre-tax losses totaling $38.3 million. 59 of
these positions are U.S. Treasuries and
carry the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
674 were U.S. government agency
securities issued by U.S. government sponsored entities. The remaining
96 positions (municipal securities and corporate bonds) have a
credit component.
At March 31, 2025, corporate debt securities had an allowance for credit losses of $73,000
and municipal securities
had an allowance of $2,000. At March 31, 2025, all collateralized mortgage
obligation securities, mortgage-backed securities, Small
Business Administration securities,
U.S. Agency, and
U.S. Treasury bonds held were AAA rated.
Loans HFI
Average loans
HFI decreased $11.5 million, or 0.4%, from the fourth
quarter of 2024 and decreased $62.7 million, or 2.3%, from the
first quarter of 2024. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, the decrease was primarily
attributable to declines in construction loans
of $8.6 million, commercial loans of $5.7 million, and consumer loans of $2.1 million,
partially offset by a $6.6 million increase in
home equity loans. Compared to the first quarter of 2024, the decline was driven
by decreases in consumer loans (primarily indirect
auto) of $58.8 million, commercial loans of $32.9 million, and commercial real
estate mortgage loans of $23.1 million, partially offset
by increases in residential real estate loans of $28.9 million, construction
loans of $11.5 million, and home equity loans of $10.4
Loans HFI at March 31, 2025 increased $9.2 million, or 0.3%, over December 31,
2024 and decreased $70.4 million, or 2.6%, from
March 31, 2024. Compared to December 31, 2024, the increase was primarily
attributable to increases in commercial real estate
mortgage loans of $27.8 million and residential real estate loans of $12.1 million,
consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $6.7
million, and home equity loans of $5.9 million, partially offset by
decreases in construction loans of $27.7 million, commercial loans
of $4.8 million, and other loans of $10.8 million. Compared to the first quarter of 2024,
the decline was driven by decreases in
consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $48.0 million, commercial
loans of $33.9 million, commercial real estate mortgage loans
of $16.7 million, and construction loans of $10.4 million, partially offset
by increases in residential real estate loans of $27.8 million
and home equity loans of $11.4 million.
Without compromising our credit standards
,
changing our underwriting standards, or taking on inordinate interest rate risk,
we
continue to closely monitor our markets and make minor adjustments as necessary.
Credit Quality
Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and other real estate) totaled $4.4
million at March 31, 2025 compared to $6.7 million at
December 31, 2024 and $6.8 million at March 31, 2024.
At March 31, 2025, nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets was
0.10%, compared to 0.15% at December 31, 2024 and 0.16% at March 31, 2024.
Nonaccrual loans totaled $4.3 million at March 31,
2025, a $2.0 million decrease from December 31, 2024 and a $2.5 million
decrease from March 31, 2024.
Further, classified loans
totaled $19.2 million at March 31, 2025, a $0.7 million decrease from December
31, 2024 and a $3.1 million decrease from March 31,
The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from
the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount
expected to be collected on the loans.
The allowance for credit losses is adjusted by a credit loss provision which is reported in
earnings and reduced by the charge-off
of loan amounts (net of recoveries).
Loans are charged off against the allowance when
management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed.
Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts
previously charged-off and expected to be charged
-off.
Expected credit loss inherent in non-cancellable off-balance sheet credit
exposures is provided through the credit loss provision but recorded
as a separate liability included in other liabilities.
Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available
information, from internal and external sources relating to past
events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
Historical loan default and loss experience provides the basis for
the estimation of expected credit losses.
Adjustments to historical loss information incorporate management’s
view of current
conditions and forecasts.
At March 31, 2025, the allowance for credit losses for loans HFI totaled $29.7
million compared to $29.3 million at December 31,
2024 and March 31, 2024. Activity within the allowance is provided in
Note 3 – Loans Held for Investment and Allowance for Credit
Losses in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The increase
in the allowance over December 31, 2024 reflected higher
loan balances and higher loan loss rates, partially offset by
a lower level of net loan charge-offs.
The increase in the allowance over
March 31, 2024 was primarily due to higher loss rates. Net loan charge
-offs were nine basis points of average loans for the first
quarter of 2025 versus 25 basis points for the fourth quarter of 2024
and 22 basis points for the first quarter of 2024.
At March 31,
2025, the allowance represented 1.12% of loans HFI compared to
1.10% at December 31, 2024, and 1.07% at March 31, 2024.
At March 31, 2025, the allowance for credit losses for unfunded commitments
totaled $1.8 million compared to $2.2 million and $3.1
million at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
The decline in the allowance for unfunded commitments from
December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024 reflected a lower level of unfunded
loan commitments. The allowance for unfunded
commitments is recorded in other liabilities.
Average total
deposits were $3.665 billion for the first quarter of 2025, an increase of $65.1 million,
or 1.8%, over the fourth quarter
of 2024 and an increase of $89.0 million, or 2.5%, over the first quarter
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, the increase
was primarily attributable to higher NOW account balances largely
due to the seasonal increase in our public fund balances.
The
increase over the first quarter of 2024 reflected growth in NOW,
money market and certificate of deposit account balances which
was
mainly due to a combination of balances migrating from savings and noninterest bearing
accounts, in addition to receiving new
deposits from existing and new clients via various deposit strategies.
At March 31, 2025, total deposits were $3.784 billion, an increase of $111.9
million, or 3.0%, over December 31, 2024, and an
increase of $129.1 million, or 3.5%, over March 31, 2024.
The increase over December 31, 2024 was due to higher balances in all
deposit categories. The increase over March 31, 2024 was primarily due to
higher NOW account balances (primarily business
accounts), and to a lesser extent increases in money market and certificates of deposit,
partially offset by lower savings account
balances. Total public
funds balances were $648.0 million at March 31, 2025, $660.9 million at December
31, 2024, and $615.0
million at March 31, 2024.
Business deposit transaction accounts classified as repurchase agreements
averaged $29.8 million for the first quarter of 2025, an
increase of $1.8 million over the fourth quarter of 2024 and an increase of $4.1
million over the first quarter of 2024. At March 31,
2025,
repurchase agreement balances were $22.8 million compared to $26.2
million at December 31, 2024 and $23.5 million at March
31, 2024.
We continue
to closely monitor our cost of deposits and deposit mix as we manage through the current rate
environment.
MARKET RISK AND INTEREST RATE
SENSITIVITY
Market Risk and Interest Rate Sensitivity
Overview.
Market risk arises from changes in interest rates, exchange rates,
commodity prices, and equity prices.
We have risk
management policies designed to monitor and limit exposure to market
risk and we do not participate in activities that give rise to
significant market risk involving exchange rates, commodity prices, or
equity prices.
In asset and liability management activities, our
policies are designed to minimize structural interest rate risk.
Interest Rate Risk Management.
Our net income is largely dependent on net interest income.
Net interest income is susceptible to
interest rate risk to the degree that interest-bearing liabilities mature
or reprice on a different basis than interest-earning assets.
When
interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly
than interest-earning assets in a given period, a significant increase in
market rates of interest could adversely affect net interest
income.
Similarly, when interest-earning
assets mature or reprice more
quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling market interest rates could
result in a decrease in net interest income.
Net interest
income is also affected by changes in the portion of interest-earning
assets that are funded by interest-bearing liabilities rather than by
other sources of funds, such as noninterest-bearing deposits and shareowners’
equity.
We have established
what we believe to be a comprehensive interest rate risk management policy,
which is administered by
management’s Asset Liability Management
Committee (“ALCO”).
The policy establishes limits of risk, which are quantitative
measures of the percentage change in net interest income (a measure of net
interest income at risk) and the fair value of equity capital
(a measure of economic value of equity (“EVE”) at risk) resulting from a hypothetical change
in interest rates for maturities from one
day to 30 years.
We measure the potential
adverse impacts that changing interest rates may have on our short-term
earnings, long-
term value, and liquidity by employing simulation analysis through the use of
computer modeling.
The simulation model captures
optionality factors such as call features and interest rate caps and floors imbedded
in investment and loan portfolio contracts.
As with
any method of gauging interest rate risk, there are certain shortcomings
inherent in the interest rate modeling methodology used by
us.
When interest rates change, actual movements in different categories
of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, loan
prepayments, and withdrawals of time and other deposits, may deviate significantly
from assumptions used in the model.
Finally, the
methodology does not measure or reflect the impact that higher rates may have
on adjustable-rate loan clients’ ability to service their
debts, or the impact of rate changes on demand for loan and deposit products.
The statement of financial condition is subject to testing for interest rate shock
possibilities to indicate the inherent interest rate risk.
We apply instantaneous,
parallel rate shocks to the base case in 100 basis point (bp) increments ranging from down
400bp to up
400bps at least once per quarter, with the
analysis reported to ALCO, our Market Risk Oversight Committee (“MROC”),
our
Enterprise Risk Oversight Committee (“EROC”) and the Board of Directors.
We augment our interest rate
shock analysis with
alternative interest rate scenarios on a quarterly basis that may include ramps,
and a flattening or steepening of the yield curve (non-
parallel shift).
In addition, more frequent forecasts may be produced when interest rates are particularly
uncertain or when other
business conditions so dictate.
Our goal is to structure the statement of financial condition so that net interest earnings at risk over
12-month and 24-month periods
and the economic value of equity at risk do not exceed policy guidelines
at the various interest rate shock levels. We
attempt to
achieve this goal by balancing, within policy limits, the volume of floating-rate
liabilities with a similar volume of floating-rate assets,
by keeping the average maturity of fixed-rate asset and liability contracts
reasonably matched, by managing the mix of our core
deposits, and by adjusting our rates to market conditions on a continuing
basis.
Analysis.
Measures of net interest income at risk produced by simulation analysis are
indicators of an institution’s short-term
performance in alternative rate environments.
These measures are typically based upon a relatively brief period, and do not
necessarily indicate the long-term prospects or economic value of the institution.

The Net Interest Income (“NII”) at Risk position of an instantaneous,
parallel rate shock indicates that in the short-term (over the next
12 months), all rising rate environments will positively impact the net interest
margin of the Company,
while declining rate
environments
will have a negative impact on the net interest margin. Compared
to the fourth quarter of 2024, these metrics generally
became more favorable in the rising rate scenarios and less favorable
in the falling rate scenarios.
This was primarily attributable to
the $125 million increase in variable rate overnight funds at March 31,
2025, which increases our asset sensitivity to falling rates. The
instantaneous,
parallel rate shock results over the next 12-month and 24-month periods are outside
of policy in the rates down 300 bps
and 400 bps scenario largely due to the limited ability to decrease deposit
rates the full extent of this rate change.
The measures of equity value at risk indicate our ongoing economic value
by considering the effects of changes in interest rates on all
of our cash flows by discounting the cash flows to estimate the present value of
assets and liabilities. The difference between these
discounted values of the assets and liabilities is the economic value of equity,
which in theory approximates the fair value of our net
assets.

At March 31, 2025, the economic value of equity was favorable in
all rising rate environments and unfavorable in the falling rate
environments. Compared to December 31, 2024, EVE metrics were generally
more favorable in most rate scenarios. EVE is currently
in compliance with policy in all rate scenarios as the EVE ratio exceeds the policy
minimum of 5.0% in each shock scenario.
As the interest rate environment and the dynamics of the economy continue to change,
additional simulations will be analyzed to
address not only the changing rate environment, but also the change
in mix of our financial assets and liabilities, measured over
multiple years, to help assess the risk to the Company.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL
RESOURCES
Liquidity
In general terms, liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet our
cash needs.
Our objective in managing our liquidity is to
maintain our ability to meet loan commitments, purchase securities or repay deposits and
other liabilities in accordance with their
terms, without an adverse impact on our current or future earnings.
Our liquidity strategy is guided by policies that are formulated and
monitored by our ALCO and senior management, which take into account
the marketability of assets, the sources and stability of
funding and the level of unfunded commitments.
We regularly evaluate
all of our various funding sources with an emphasis on
accessibility, stability,
reliability and cost-effectiveness.
Our principal source of funding has been our client deposits, supplemented
by our short-term and long-term borrowings, primarily from securities sold under
repurchase agreements, federal funds purchased and
FHLB borrowings.
We believe that the cash
generated from operations, our borrowing capacity and our access to capital resources
are
sufficient to meet our future operating capital and funding requirements.
At March 31, 2025, we had the ability to generate approximately $1.540
billion (excludes overnight funds position of $446 million) in
additional liquidity through various sources including various federal funds
purchased lines, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, the
Federal Reserve Discount Window,
and brokered deposits.
We recognize
the importance of maintaining liquidity and have developed
a Contingent Liquidity Plan, which addresses various liquidity stress levels and
our response and action based on the level of severity.
We periodically
test our credit facilities for access to the funds, but also understand that as the severity
of the liquidity level increases
that certain credit facilities may no longer be available.
We conduct
a liquidity stress test on a quarterly basis based on events that
could potentially occur at the Bank and report results to our ALCO, MROC
,
EROC, and Board of Directors.
We believe the liquidity
available to us at March 31, 2025 was sufficient to meet our on-going
needs and execute our business strategy.
We also view our
investment portfolio as a liquidity source and have the option to pledge securities in our
portfolio as collateral for
borrowings or deposits, and/or to sell selected securities. Our portfolio consists of
debt issued by the U.S. Treasury,
U.S. governmental
agencies, municipal governments, and corporate entities. Additional
information on our investment portfolio is provided within Note 2
– Investment Securities.
The Bank maintained an average net overnight funds (i.e., deposits with banks
plus FED funds sold less FED funds purchased) sold
position of $320.9 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $298.3 million
in the fourth quarter of 2024 and $140.5 million in
the first quarter of 2024.
Compared to both prior periods, the increase reflected higher average deposits and
lower average loans.
We expect our
capital expenditures will be approximately $10.0 million over the next 12 months,
which will primarily consist of
construction of new offices, office remodeling,
office equipment/furniture, and technology purchases.
Management expects that these
capital expenditures will be funded with existing resources without impairing
our ability to meet our on-going obligations.
Average short
-term borrowings totaled $37.3 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to $34.5
million for the fourth quarter of
and $29.5 million for the first quarter of 2024. The increase over both prior periods reflected growth
in repurchase agreement
balances and an increase in mortgage warehouse borrowings. Additional
detail on warehouse borrowings is provided in Note 4 –
Mortgage Banking Activities in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
We have issued two
junior subordinated deferrable interest notes to our wholly owned
Delaware statutory trusts.
The first note for
$30.9 million was issued to CCBG Capital Trust I in
November 2004, of which $10 million was retired in April 2016. The second
note for $32.0 million was issued to CCBG Capital Trust II
in May 2005. The interest payment for the CCBG Capital Trust
I
borrowing is due quarterly and adjusts quarterly to a variable rate of three-month
CME Term SOFR (secured overnight
financing rate)
plus a margin of 1.90%. This note matures on December 31,
- The interest payment for the CCBG Capital Trust
II borrowing is
due quarterly and adjusts quarterly to a variable interest rate based on three-month
CME Term SOFR plus a margin
of 1.80%.
This
note matures on June 15, 2035. The proceeds from these borrowings were used
to partially fund acquisitions. Under the terms of each
junior subordinated deferrable interest note, in the event of default or
if we elect to defer interest on the note, we may not, with certain
exceptions, declare or pay dividends or make distributions on our capital
stock or purchase or acquire any of our capital stock.
In the second quarter of 2020, we entered into a derivative cash flow hedge
of our interest rate risk related to our subordinated debt.
The notional amount of the derivative is $30 million ($10 million of
the CCBG Capital Trust I borrowing and $20 million of
the
CCBG Capital Trust II borrowing). The interest rate
swap agreement requires CCBG to pay fixed and receive variable (three-month
CME Term SOFR plus spread)
and has an average all-in fixed rate of 2.50% for 10 years. Additional detail on the
interest rate swap
agreement is provided in Note 5 – Derivatives in the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Capital
Our capital ratios are presented in the Selected Quarterly Financial Data
table on page 34.
At March 31, 2025, our regulatory capital
ratios exceeded the threshold to be designated as “well-capitalized”
under the Basel III capital standards.
Shareowners’ equity was $512.6 million at March 31, 2025 compared to $495.3
million at December 31, 2024 and $448.3 million at
March 31, 2024.
For the first three months of 2025, shareowners’ equity was positively impacted by net
income attributable to
shareowners of $16.9 million, a net $3.6 million decrease in the accumulated
other comprehensive loss, the issuance of stock of $2.4
million, and stock compensation accretion of $0.4 million.
The net favorable change in accumulated other comprehensive loss
reflected a $4.1 million decrease in the investment securities loss that was partially offset
by a $0.5 million decrease in the fair value
of the interest rate swap related to subordinated debt. Shareowners’ equity
was reduced by a common stock dividend of $4.1 million
($0.24 per share) and net adjustments totaling $1.9 million related to transactions
under our stock compensation plans.
At March 31, 2025, our total risk-based capital ratio was 19.20% compared
to 18.64% at December 31, 2024 and 16.84% at March 31,
Our common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 16.08%, 15.54%, and 13.82%, respectively,
on these dates.
Our leverage ratio was
11.17%, 11.05%,
and 10.45%, respectively, on these
dates.
At March 31, 2025, all our regulatory capital ratios exceeded the
thresholds to be designated as “well-capitalized” under the Basel III capital
standards.
Further, our tangible common equity ratio
(non-GAAP financial measure) was 9.61% at March 31, 2025 compared to 9.51% and 8.53%
at December 31, 2024 and March 31,
2024, respectively.
If our unrealized HTM securities losses of $12.1 million (after-tax)
were recognized in accumulated other
comprehensive loss, our adjusted tangible capital ratio would be 9.33%.
Our tangible capital ratio is also impacted by the recording of our unfunded pension
liability through other comprehensive income in
accordance with Accounting Standards Codification
Topic 715. At March 31, 2025,
the net pension asset reflected in other
comprehensive loss was $9.7 million compared to $9.7 million
at December 31, 2024 and $0.4 million at March 31, 2024. The
favorable adjustment for the pension plan compared to March 31, 2024
was primarily attributable to a higher than estimated return on
plan assets in 2024 and a higher discount rate used to determine the plan liability at
December 31, 2024. This liability is re-measured
annually on December 31
st
based on an actuarial calculation of our pension liability.
Significant assumptions used in calculating the
liability include the weighted average discount rate used to measure the present
value of the pension liability,
the weighted average
expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets, and the assumed rate of
annual compensation increases, all of which will
vary when re-measured. The discount rate assumption used to calculate
the pension liability is subject to long-term corporate bond
rates at December 31
st
. These assumptions and sensitivities are discussed in the section entitled “Critical Accounting
Policies and
Estimates” in Part II, Item7. Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of
our 2024
Form 10-K.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We are a party
to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks in the normal
course of business to meet the financing needs of our
clients.
At March 31, 2025, we had $656.0 million in commitments to extend credit
and $7.3 million in standby letters of credit.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client so 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.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee
the performance
of a client to a third party.
We use the same credit
policies in establishing commitments and issuing letters of credit as we do for on-
balance sheet instruments.
If commitments arising from these financial instruments continue to require
funding at historical levels, management does not
anticipate that such funding will adversely impact our ability to meet our on-going
obligations.
In the event these commitments
require funding in excess of historical levels, management believes current
liquidity, advances available from the
FHLB and the
Federal Reserve, and investment security maturities provide a sufficient
source of funds to meet these commitments.
Certain agreements provide that the commitments are unconditionally
cancellable by the bank and for those agreements no allowance
for credit losses has been recorded.
We
have recorded an allowance for credit losses on loan commitments that are not
unconditionally cancellable by the Bank, which is included in other
liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition
and totaled $1.8 million at March 31, 2025.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements included in our 2024 Form 10-K.
The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements
in accordance with GAAP and reporting practices applicable to the banking
industry requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses,
and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
We have identified
accounting for (i) the allowance for credit losses, (ii) goodwill,
(iii) pension assumptions, and (iv) income taxes as
our most critical accounting policies and estimates in that they are important
to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and
they require our subjective and complex judgment as a result of the need to make estimates about
the effects of matters that are
inherently uncertain.
These accounting policies, including the nature of the estimates and types of assumptions
used, are described
throughout this Item 2, Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and
Part II, Item 7,
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included
in our 2024 Form 10-K.
