These increases were partially offset by an increase in the average balances of interest bearing liabilities ($184.3 million) which decreased net interest income by $6.1 million. Decreases in the yield on deposits in depository institutions (87 basis points) and loans (1 basis point) also decreased net interest income by $1.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The Company’s reported net interest margin increased from 3.86% for the year ended December 31, 2024 to 3.94% for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Current report
Non-interest expenses increased $6.9 million, or 4.7%, from $147.2 million for 2024 to $154.1 million for 2025.

In addition, other expenses increased $1.0 million and bankcard expense increased $0.5 million. These expenses were partially offset by lower advertising expenses of $0.7 million.

Acquisition and Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
Previous report
The calculation of the Company's acquisition and preliminary purchase price allocation is considered a critical accounting estimate as it involves a significant level of estimation and uncertainty, particularly in relation to the fair value and goodwill calculations. Under GAAP, management has up to twelve months following the date of the acquisition to finalize the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities. The measurement period ends as soon as the Company receives information it was seeking about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date or learns that more information is not obtainable. Any subsequent adjustments to the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities, intangible assets or other purchase accounting adjustments will resultin adjustments to the goodwill recorded. As of December 31, 2024, over twelve months have occurred since the date of acquisition on March 10, 2023, and the measurement period is now complete.

Previous report
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a $2.0 million charge-off related to a commercial loan for a movie theater that had been originated in September 2014. The loan had paid according to terms, but cash flows began deteriorating during the COVID-19 crisis which began in 2020. Due to further operating weaknesses during 2024, the loan was transferred to non-accrual status and after the $2.0 million charge-off, the loan has an outstanding balance of approximately $6.7 million at December 31, 2024. The Company has only one other loan to a movie theater and the outstanding balance of that performing loan is under $5.0 million.
Previous report
The provision for credit losses recognized during 2024 related primarily to the aforementioned movie theater ($2.0 million), loan growth during the year ending December 31, 2024, and an increase in the loss rate for residential real estate loans. These increases were partially offset by $1.7 million of reversals of reserves due primarily to payoffs on purchase credit deteriorated loans during the year ending December 31, 2024. Additionally, the provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2023 included $2.0 million of credit loss expense associated with loans acquired from Citizens.
Previous report
The ACL decreased from$22.7 million at December 31, 2023 to$21.9 million at December 31, 2024. The allowance attributed to the commercial real estate loan portfolio decreased $1.3 million from $11.1 million at December 31, 2023 to $9.8 million at December 31, 2024. This decrease was due to a reduction in reserves for purchase credit deteriorated loans that was partially offset by loan growth and the aforementioned movie theater charge off during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The accounting policies of the Company conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and require management to make estimates and develop assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related footnotes. These estimates and assumptions are based on information available to management as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ significantly from management’s estimates.

Previous wording
The Company uses a number of economic variables in its scenarios to estimate the allowance for credit losses, with the most significant drivers being an unemployment rate forecast and qualitative adjustments. In the December 31, 2024 estimate, the Company assumed an unemployment forecast range of 4.2% to 4.8%, compared to a range of 3.8% to 4.8% utilized in the December 31, 2023 estimate. Historical loss rates from periods where the average unemployment rate matches the forecast range are considered when calculating the forecast period loss rate. Based on sensitivity of the portfolio, the change had no material impact on the reserve.
Current wording

In the December 31, 2025 estimate, the Company assumed a 2-year unemployment forecast range of 4.2% to 4.6%, compared to a range of 4.2% to 4.8% utilized in the December 31, 2024 estimate. Historical loss rates from periods where the average unemployment rate matches the forecast range are considered when calculating the forecast period loss rate. Based on sensitivity of the portfolio, the change had a less than $0.5 million impact on the reserve.
Previous wording
Based on sensitivity analysis of all portfolios, a 0.0050% change (slight improvement or decline on bank's scale) in all 11 qualitative risk factors (where assigned) would have a $2.2 million impact on the reserve allocation. Changing each factor by 0.01% (moderate improvement or decline) would have a $4.5 million impact. Management recognizes that these are extreme scenarios and it is very unlikely that all risk factors would change by 0.005% or 0.01% simultaneously. There were no changes to any qualitative factors for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Management recognizes that these are extreme scenarios and it is very unlikely that all risk factors would change by 0.005% or 0.01% simultaneously. For the December 31, 2025 estimate, management assigned a slight improvement (0.005% decrease) to the Criticized/Classified loan trends factor in each commercial pool which decreased the reserve $0.1 million.

Current wording
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company was in a net deferred tax asset position ($30.0 million) at December 31, 2025 and a net deferred tax asset position ($41.7 million) at December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the deferred tax asset associated with unrealized securities losses ($11.2 million), as the market values of the Company's investment portfolio increased.
Previous wording
The components of the Company’s net deferred tax assets are disclosed in Note Twelve of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Realization of the most significant net deferred tax assets is primarily dependent on future events taking place that will reverse the current deferred tax assets. The deferred tax asset associated with unrealized securities losses is the tax impact of the unrealized losses on the Company’s available-for-sale security portfolio. The impact of the Company’s unrealized losses is noted in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity as an adjustment to Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income. This deferred tax asset would be realized if the unrealized securities losses on the Company's securities were realized from the sales of the related securities. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that each of the deferred tax assets will be realized and that no significant valuation allowances were necessary as of December 31, 2024 or 2023.

City National manages its liquidity position in an effort to effectively and economically satisfy the funding needs of its customers and to accommodate the scheduled repayment of borrowings. Funds are available to City National from a number of sources, including depository relationships, sales and maturities within the investment securities portfolio, and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"), the Federal Reserve Discount Window, and other financial institutions. City National had an additional $1.5 billion and $1.9 billion available from unused portions of lines of credit with the FHLB and Federal Reserve Discount Window at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. No short-term or long-term funding has been utilized with certain other financial institutions the Company maintains business relationships as of December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023. City National maintains a contingency funding plan, incorporating these borrowing facilities, to address liquidity needs in the event of an institution-specific or systemic financial industry crisis. Also, although it has no current intention to do so, City National could liquidate its unpledged securities, if necessary, to provide an additional funding source. City National also segregates certain mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities, and other investment securities in a separate subsidiary so that it can separately monitor the asset quality of these primarily mortgage-related assets, which could be used to raise cash through securitization transactions or obtain additional equity or debt financing if necessary.

The Company manages its asset and liability mix to balance its desire to maximize net interest income against its desire to minimize risks associated with capitalization, interest rate volatility, and liquidity. Historically, the Company has utilized derivative instruments, when appropriate, to assist this goal. During the year ending December 31, 2020, the Company entered into three $50 million swap agreements that hedged interest rate risk on certain pools of the Company’s investment securities. These agreements require the Company to pay rates ranging from 0.20% to 0.24%, while receiving the federal funds effective rate in return.
