Discussion of Financial Condition
Earning Assets
Average earning
assets totaled $3.982 billion for the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of $50.5 million, or
1.3%, from
the second
quarter of 2025, and an increase of $59.6 million, or 1.5%, over the
fourth quarter of 2024.
Compared to the second quarter of
2025, the change in the earning asset mix reflected a $46.4 million decrease in loans HFI
and a $14.1 million decrease in investment
securities, partially offset by a $7.4 million increase in overnight
funds sold and a $2.6 million increase in loans held for sale
(“HFS”).
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, the change in earning asset mix reflected
a $78.7 million increase in investment
securities and a $57.9 million increase in overnight funds sold,
partially offset by a $71.2 million decrease in loans HFI and a $5.8
million decrease in loans HFS.
Average loans
HFI decreased by $46.4 million, or 1.8%, from the second quarter of 2025 and
decreased by $71.2 million, or 2.7%,
from the fourth quarter of 2024.
Compared to the second quarter of 2025, the decline reflected decreases
in construction loans of
$22.4 million, consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $10.4
million, commercial real estate loans of $8.7 million, residential
real estate loans of $2.9 million, and commercial loans of $2.7 million,
partially offset by a $2.0 million increase in home equity
loans.
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, the decline was primarily attributable
to decreases in construction loans of $55.6
million, consumer loans (primarily auto indirect loans) of $14.4 million,
commercial loans of $11.9 million and commercial real
estate loans of $6.8 million, partially offset by increases in home
equity loans of $12.8 million and residential real estate loans of
$7.0 million.
Loans HFI at September 30, 2025, decreased by $49.5 million,
or 1.9%, from June 30, 2025, and decreased by $69.5 million, or
2.6%, from December 31, 2024.
Compared to June 30, 2025, the decline was primarily due to decreases in construction loans
of
$17.4 million, commercial real estate loans of $17.2 million, consumer
loans (primarily indirect auto) of $11.6 million,
and
residential real estate loans of $9.0 million, partially offset by a
$5.9 million increase in home equity loans.
Compared to December
31, 2024, the decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in construction
loans of $63.2 million, consumer loans (primarily
indirect auto) of $13.6 million, and commercial loans of $10.2 million, partially
offset by increases in home equity loans of $14.0
million, residential real estate loans of $8.8 million, and commercial real estate
loans of $6.2 million.
Allowance for Credit Losses
At September 30, 2025, the allowance for credit losses for loans HFI totaled
$30.2 million compared to $29.9 million at June 30,
2025 and $29.3 million at December 31, 2024.
Activity within the allowance is provided on Page 14.
The slight increase in the
allowance over June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was primarily
attributable to qualitative factor adjustments that were partially
offset by lower loan balances.
Net loan charge-offs were 18 basis points of average
loans for the third quarter of 2025 compared to
9 basis points for the second quarter of 2025.
Net loan charge-offs for the nine-months ended September 30, 2025
were 12 basis
points compared to 20 basis points for the same period of 2024.
At September 30, 2025, the allowance represented 1.17% of loans
HFI compared to 1.13% at June 30, 2025, and 1.10% at December 31,
2024.
Credit Quality
Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and other real estate) totaled
$10.0 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $6.6
million at June 30, 2025, and $6.7 million at December 31, 202
4.
At September 30, 2025, nonperforming assets as a percentage of
total assets was 0.23%, compared to 0.15% at June 30, 2025
and 0.15% at December 31, 2024.
Nonaccrual loans totaled $8.2
million at September 30, 2025, a $1.7 million increase over
June 30, 2025 and a $1.9 million increase over December 31, 2024 with
the increase over both periods primarily attributable to two home equity
loans totaling $1.8 million.
Classified loans totaled $26.5
million at September 30, 2025, a $2.1 million decrease from June 30,
2025, and a $6.6 million increase over December 31, 2024.
Deposits
Average total
deposits were $3.612 billion for the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of $68.4 million,
or 1.86%, from the second
quarter of 2025 and an increase of $11.9 million,
or 0.33%, over the fourth quarter of 2024.
Compared to the second quarter of
2025, the decrease was attributable to lower public funds balances (primarily
NOW accounts) due to the seasonal reduction in those
balances, partially offset by higher core deposit balances
(primarily noninterest bearing checking,
money market accounts, and
certificates of deposit).
The increase over the fourth quarter of 2024 reflected strong growth in core deposit balances,
partially
offset by the seasonal decline in public fund balances
.
At September 30, 2025, total deposits were $3.615 billion, a decrease of $89.9
million, or 2.4%, from June 30 2025, and a decrease
of $57.1 million, or 1.6%, from December 31, 2024.
The decrease compared to both prior periods was due to a decline in public
fund deposits, partially offset by growth in our core
deposits.
Public funds totaled $497.9 million at September 30, 2025, $596.6
million at June 30, 2025, and $660.9 million at December 31, 2024.
