NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2025 (Unaudited)

1. Principles of Consolidation and Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Commerce Bancshares, Inc. and all majority-owned subsidiaries (the Company). Most of the Company's operations are conducted by its subsidiary bank, Commerce Bank (the Bank). The consolidated financial statements in this report have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications were made to 2024 data to conform to current year presentation. In preparing the consolidated 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 sheets and revenues and expenses for the periods. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Management has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure. The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of results to be attained for the full year or any other interim period.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, containing the latest audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

Allowance for credit losses

The allowance for credit losses is measured using an average historical loss model which incorporates relevant information about past events (including historical credit loss experience on loans with similar risk characteristics), current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the remaining cash flows over the contractual term of the loans. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis. Loans are aggregated into pools based on similar risk characteristics including borrower type, collateral type and expected credit loss patterns. Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics, primarily large loans on non-accrual status, are evaluated on an individual basis.

For loans evaluated for credit losses on a collective basis, average historical loss rates are calculated for each pool using the Company’s historical net charge-offs (combined charge-offs and recoveries by observable historical reporting period) and outstanding loan balances during a lookback period. Lookback periods can be different based on the individual pool and represent management’s credit expectations for the pool of loans over the remaining contractual life. In certain loan pools, if the Company’s own historical loss rate is not reflective of the loss expectations, the historical loss rate is augmented by industry and peer data. The calculated average net charge-off rate is then adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. These adjustments increase or decrease the average historical loss rate to reflect expectations of future losses given a single path economic forecast of key macroeconomic variables including GDP, disposable income, various interest rates, unemployment rate, consumer price index (CPI) inflation rate, housing price index (HPI), commercial real estate price index (CREPI) and market volatility. The adjustments are based on results from various regression models projecting the impact of the macroeconomic variables to loss rates. The forecast is used for a reasonable and supportable period before reverting back to historical averages using a straight-line method. The forecast-adjusted loss rate is applied to the amortized cost of loans over the remaining contractual lives, adjusted for expected prepayments. The contractual term excludes expected extensions (except for contractual extensions at the option of the customer), renewals and modifications. Credit cards and certain similar consumer lines of credit do not have stated maturities and therefore, for these loan classes, remaining contractual lives are determined by estimating future cash flows expected to be received from customers until payments have been fully allocated to outstanding balances. Additionally, the allowance for credit losses considers other qualitative factors not included in historical loss rates or macroeconomic forecast such as changes in portfolio composition, underwriting practices, or significant unique events or conditions.

10

Key assumptions in the Company’s allowance for credit loss model include the economic forecast, the reasonable and supportable period, forecasted macro-economic variables, prepayment assumptions and qualitative factors applied for portfolio composition changes, underwriting practices, or significant unique events or conditions. The assumptions utilized in estimating the Company’s allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025 are discussed below.

Key Assumption	June 30, 2025	December 31, 2024
Overall economic forecast	•Economy in the next year is expected to benefit from deregulation, fiscal stimulus and less policy uncertainty •The forecast assumes recent reduction in tariffs between China and the US will be permanent while increases in steel and aluminum tariffs were included •Layoffs remain low	•The United States economy will grow •Expansionary fiscal policy and less immigration cause the labor market to tighten, pushing the unemployment rate lower
Reasonable and supportable period and related reversion period	•Reasonable and supportable period of one year •Reversion to historical average loss rates within two quarters using a straight-line method	•Reasonable and supportable period of one year •Reversion to historical average loss rates within two quarters using a straight-line method
Forecasted macro-economic variables	•Unemployment rate ranges from 4.3% to 4.4% during the supportable forecast period •Real GDP growth ranges from 1.0% to 1.6% •BBB corporate yield from 5.9% to 6.2% •Housing Price Index from 332.8 to 341.0	•Unemployment rate ranges from 4.2% to 4.3% during the supportable forecast period •Real GDP growth ranges from 2.5% to 2.7% •BBB corporate yield from 5.2% to 5.3% •Housing Price Index from 324.8 to 335.4
Prepayment assumptions	Commercial loans •5% for most loan pools Personal banking loans •Ranging from 8.1% to 23.3% for most loan pools •Consumer credit cards 66.4%	Commercial loans •5% for most loan pools Personal banking loans •Ranging from 8.9% to 23.1% for most loan pools •Consumer credit cards 66.5%
Qualitative factors	Added qualitative factors related to: •Changes in the composition of the loan portfolios •Certain industries experiencing stress or emerging concerns within the portfolio •Loans downgraded to special mention, substandard, or non-accrual status •Consumer auto and other vehicle portfolios loss expectation adjustment •Other consumer portfolio loss expectation adjustment •Certain portfolios where the model assumptions do not capture all identified loss risk	Added qualitative factors related to: •Changes in the composition of the loan portfolios •Certain industries experiencing stress or emerging concerns within the portfolio •Loans downgraded to special mention, substandard, or non-accrual status •Consumer auto portfolio •Certain portfolios where the model assumptions do not capture all identified loss risk

The liability for unfunded lending commitments utilizes the same model as the allowance for credit losses on loans, however, the liability for unfunded lending commitments incorporates an assumption for the portion of unfunded commitments that are expected to be funded.

Sensitivity in the Allowance for Credit Loss model

The allowance for credit losses is an estimate that requires significant judgment including projections of the macro-economic environment. The forecasted macro-economic environment continuously changes which can cause fluctuations in the estimate of expected credit losses.

The current forecast includes projections on the impact of the tariffs the United States ("U.S.") administration announced and noted policy uncertainty.

Policy changes and the market's response to the changes could impact inflation, labor market trends, Federal Reserve monetary policy, business growth and consumer spending. Economic, political, and social developments regionally, nationally, and even globally could significantly modify economic projections used in the estimation of the allowance for credit losses.

11

Potential changes in any one economic variable may or may not affect the overall allowance because a variety of economic variables and inputs are considered in estimating the allowance, and changes in those variables and inputs may not occur at the same rate, may not be consistent across product types, and may have offsetting impacts to other changing variables and inputs.

A summary of the activity in the allowance for credit losses on loans and the liability for unfunded lending commitments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, follows:

Credit quality indicators

The following table provides information about the credit quality of the Commercial loan portfolio. The Company utilizes an internal risk rating system comprised of a series of grades to categorize loans according to perceived risk associated with the expectation of debt repayment based on borrower specific information including, but not limited to, current financial information, historical payment experience, industry information, collateral levels and collateral types. The “pass” category consists of a range of loan grades that reflect increasing, though still acceptable, risk. A loan is assigned the risk rating at origination and then monitored throughout the contractual term for possible risk rating changes. Movement of risk through the various grade levels in the “pass” category is monitored for early identification of credit deterioration. The “special mention” rating is applied to loans where the borrower exhibits negative financial trends due to borrower specific or systemic conditions that, if left uncorrected, threaten its capacity to meet its debt obligations. The borrower is believed to have sufficient financial flexibility to react to and resolve its negative financial situation. It is a transitional grade that is closely monitored for improvement or deterioration. The “substandard” rating is applied to loans where the borrower exhibits well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize its continued performance and are of a severity that the distinct possibility of default exists. Loans are placed on “non-accrual” when management does not expect to collect payments consistent with acceptable and agreed upon terms of repayment.

All loans are analyzed for risk rating updates annually. For larger loans, rating assessments may be more frequent if relevant information is obtained earlier through debt covenant monitoring or overall relationship management. Smaller loans

13

are monitored as identified by the loan officer based on the risk profile of the individual borrower or if the loan becomes past due related to credit issues. Loans rated special mention, substandard or non-accrual are subject to quarterly review and monitoring processes. In addition to the regular monitoring performed by the lending personnel and credit committees, loans are subject to review by a credit review department which verifies the appropriateness of the risk ratings for the loans chosen as part of its risk-based review plan.

The risk category of loans in the Commercial portfolio as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are as follows:

Modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty

When borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty, the Company may agree to modify the contractual terms of a loan to a borrower in order to assist the borrower in repaying principal and interest owed to the Company.

The Company's modifications of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are generally in the form of term extensions, repayment plans, payment deferrals, forbearance agreements, interest rate reductions, forgiveness of interest and/or fees, or any combination thereof. Commercial loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are primarily loans that are substandard or non-accrual, where the maturity date was extended. Modifications on personal real estate loans are primarily those placed on forbearance plans, repayment plans, or deferral plans where monthly payments are suspended for a period of time or past due amounts are paid off over a certain period of time in the future or set up as a balloon payment at maturity. Modifications to certain credit card and other small consumer loans are often modified under debt counseling programs that can reduce the contractual rate or, in certain instances, forgive certain fees and interest charges. Other consumer loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty consist of various other workout arrangements with consumer customers.

The estimate of lifetime expected losses utilized in the allowance for credit losses model is developed using average historical experience on loans with similar risk characteristics, which includes losses from modifications of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. As a result, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon

19

modification. For modifications to loans made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that are placed on non-accrual status, the Company determines the allowance for credit losses on an individual evaluation, using the same process that it utilizes for other loans on non-accrual status. Modifications made to commercial loans which are not on non-accrual status for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are collectively evaluated based on internal risk rating, loan type, delinquency, historical experience, and current economic factors. Modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty for personal banking loans which are not on non-accrual status are collectively evaluated based on loan type, delinquency, historical experience, and current economic factors.

If a loan to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty is modified and subsequently deemed uncollectible, the allowance for credit losses continues to be based on individual evaluation, if that loan is already on non-accrual status. For those loans, the allowance for credit losses is estimated using discounted expected cash flows or the fair value of collateral. If an accruing loan made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty is modified and subsequently deemed uncollectible, the loan's risk rating is downgraded to non-accrual status and the loan's related allowance for credit losses is determined based on individual evaluation, or if necessary, the loan is charged off and collection efforts begin.

The following tables summarize the financial impact of loan modifications and payment deferrals during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024.

The Company had commitments of $12.7 million and $14.9 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, to lend additional funds to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty and for whom the Company has modified the terms of loans in the form of an interest rate reduction; an other-than-insignificant payment delay; forgiveness of principal, interest, or fees; or a term extension during the current reporting period.

The following tables provide the amortized cost basis at June 30, 2025 of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that had a payment default during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and were modified within the 12 months preceding the payment default, as well as the amortized cost basis at June 30, 2024 of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that had a payment default during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and had been modified within the 12 months preceding the payment default. For purposes of this disclosure, the Company considers "default" to mean 90 days or more past due as to interest or principal.

Loans held for sale

The Company designates certain long-term fixed rate personal real estate loans as held for sale, and the Company has elected the fair value option for these loans. The election of the fair value option aligns the accounting for these loans with the related economic hedges discussed in Note 11. The loans are primarily sold to Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) and Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA). At June 30, 2025, the fair value of these loans was $3.5 million, and the unpaid principal balance was $3.4 million.

At June 30, 2025, none of the loans held for sale were on non-accrual status or 90 days past due and still accruing interest.

Foreclosed real estate/repossessed assets

The Company’s holdings of foreclosed real estate totaled $397 thousand and $343 thousand at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and included in those amounts were $397 thousand and $343 thousand at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, of foreclosed residential real estate properties held as a result of obtaining physical possession. Personal property acquired in repossession, generally autos, totaled $2.7 million and $2.2 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Upon acquisition, these assets are recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. They are subsequently carried at the lower of this cost basis or fair value less estimated selling costs.

Most of the Company’s investment securities are classified as available for sale debt securities, and this portfolio is discussed in more detail below. The Company’s equity securities are also discussed below. Other investment securities include Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) stock, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock, and investments in portfolio concerns held by the Company’s private equity subsidiary. FRB stock and FHLB stock are held for liquidity management and regulatory purposes. Investment in FRB stock is based on the capital structure of the investing bank, and investment in FHLB stock is tied to the asset size of the borrowing bank and the level of borrowings from the FHLB. These holdings are carried at cost. The Company’s private equity investments are carried at estimated fair value.

Equity Securities

The Company’s equity securities portfolio includes mutual funds, common stock, and preferred stock with readily determinable fair values as well as equity securities with no readily determinable fair value. 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 the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. At March 31, 2024, this portfolio included the Company’s 823,447 shares of Visa Inc. (“Visa”) Class B-1 common stock (formerly Class B common stock), which were held by Commerce Bancshares, Inc. The Company’s Visa Class B-1 shares had a carrying value of zero at March 31, 2024, as there had not been observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

On April 8, 2024, Visa announced the commencement of a public offering to permit the exchange of its Class B-1 common stock for a combination of shares of its Class B-2 common stock and its Class C common stock (“Exchange Offer”). The Company tendered all of its Visa Class B-1 shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer. On May 3, 2024, the Exchange Offer closed, and in exchange for its 823,447 shares of Visa Class B-1 common stock, the Company received 411,723 shares of Visa Class B-2 common stock (which will be convertible under certain circumstances, as further described below, into Visa’s publicly traded Class A common stock at an initial rate of 1.5875 shares of Class A common for each share of Class B-2 common stock, subject to adjustment) and 163,404 shares of Visa Class C common stock which automatically convert into four shares of Visa's Class A common stock (subject to future adjustments for any stock splits, recapitalizations or similar transactions) upon any transfer to a person other than a Visa member or an affiliate of a Visa member.

As a condition of participating in the exchange, the Company entered into a Makewhole Agreement with Visa that provides for cash payments to Visa to the extent (if any) that future adjustments to the conversion ratio for the Visa Class B-2 common stock to Class A common stock cause such ratio to fall below zero. Changes to the conversion ratio occur when Visa deposits funds to a litigation escrow established by Visa to pay settlements for certain covered litigation that pre-dated Visa’s initial public offering, for which Visa has been effectively indemnified by Visa USA members through reductions to the conversion ratio for its Class B-1 common stock. The purpose of the Makewhole Agreement is to preserve the economic benefit of these adjustments to the Class B-1 conversion ratio for the benefit of Visa’s Class A and Class C common stockholders following the exchange. As further described in Visa’s related Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO and Prospectus, each dated April 8, 2024, publicly filed with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission, both the Makewhole Agreement and the related escrow fund and transfer restrictions on Visa’s Class B-1 common stock and the new Class B-2 common stock will terminate whenever the covered litigation is ultimately resolved, at which future date outstanding shares of Visa Class B-2 common stock will be convertible into shares of its Class A common stock at the then-applicable conversion ratio.

23

As a result of the exchange, the Company elected the measurement alternative approach for its Visa Class C common stock and marked the stock to fair value, recording a gain based on the conversion privilege of the Visa Class C common stock and the closing price of Visa Class A common stock. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company sold 436 thousand shares of Visa Class A common stock at an average price of $274.91, resulting in proceeds of $119.8 million. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company sold 218 thousand Visa Class A shares at an average price of $260.56, resulting of proceeds of $56.8 million. The Company sold all of the Visa Class C shares during the second and third quarters of 2024. The Company’s Visa Class B-2 common stock will continue to be carried at cost of $0 as the Company elected the measurement alternative approach for these shares as well, and there are not observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer for the Visa Class B-2 shares held by the Company.

Available for sale debt securities portfolio

The majority of the Company’s investment portfolio is comprised of available for sale debt securities, which are carried at fair value with changes in fair value reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). A summary of the available for sale debt securities by maturity groupings as of June 30, 2025 is shown below. The investment portfolio includes agency mortgage-backed securities, which are guaranteed by agencies such as FHLMC, FNMA, and Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), in addition to non-agency mortgage-backed securities, which have no guarantee but are collateralized by commercial and residential mortgages. Also included are certain other asset-backed securities, which are primarily collateralized by credit cards, automobiles, student loans, and commercial loans. These securities differ from traditional debt securities primarily in that they may have uncertain maturity dates and are priced based on estimated prepayment rates on the underlying collateral.

Investments in U.S. government and federal agency obligations include U.S. Treasury inflation-protected securities, which totaled $413.4 million, at fair value, at June 30, 2025. Interest earned on these securities increases with inflation and decreases with deflation, as measured by the non-seasonally adjusted Consumer Price Index (CPI-U). At maturity, the principal paid is the greater of an inflation-adjusted principal or the original principal.

Allowance for credit losses on available for sale debt securities

Securities for which fair value is less than amortized cost are reviewed for impairment. Special emphasis is placed on securities whose credit rating has fallen below Baa3 (Moody's) or BBB- (Standard & Poor's), whose fair values have fallen more than 20% below purchase price, or those which have been identified based on management’s judgment. These securities are placed on a watch list and cash flow analyses are prepared on an individual security basis. Certain securities are analyzed using a projected cash flow model, discounted to present value, and compared to the current amortized cost bases of the securities. The model uses input factors such as cash flow projections, contractual payments required, expected delinquency rates, credit support from other tranches, prepayment speeds, collateral loss severity rates (including loan to values), and various other information related to the underlying collateral. Securities not analyzed using the cash flow model are analyzed by reviewing credit ratings, credit support agreements, and industry knowledge to project future cash flows and any possible credit impairment.

At June 30, 2025, the fair value of securities on this watch list was $1.1 billion compared to $1.6 billion at December 31, 2024. Almost all of the securities included on the Company's watch list in the current quarter were experiencing unrealized loss positions due to the increase in interest rates since their purchase and were analyzed outside of the cash flow model. At June 30, 2025, the securities on the Company's watch list that were not deemed to be solely related to increasing interest rates were securities backed by government-guaranteed student loans and are expected to perform as contractually required. As of June 30, 2025, the Company did not identify any securities for which a credit loss exists, and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not recognize a credit loss expense on any available for sale debt securities.

25

The table below summarizes debt securities available for sale in an unrealized loss position, aggregated by length of loss period, for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Unrealized losses on these available for sale securities have not been recognized into income because after review, the securities were deemed not to be impaired. The unrealized losses on these securities are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and current market conditions. At June 30, 2025, the Company does not intend to sell the securities, nor is it anticipated that it would be required to sell any of these securities at a loss.

losses in fair value of $4.1 million recorded on private equity investments. These losses were partially offset by net gains of $1.8 million on equity investments.

During 2024, the Company executed a plan to to reposition a portion of its available for sale debt securities portfolio through the sale of securities with an amortized cost of $1.2 billion. The securities that the Company sold had a yield of approximately 2.1%, which resulted in a loss of $179.1 million, and the Company reinvested $928.8 million of the proceeds into U.S. Treasury securities yielding approximately 4.6%.

Pledged securities

At June 30, 2025, securities totaling $6.9 billion in fair value were pledged to secure public fund deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, trust funds, and borrowings at the FRB and FHLB, compared to $6.9 billion at December 31, 2024. Excluding obligations of various government-sponsored enterprises such as FNMA, FHLB and FHLMC, no investment in a single issuer exceeded 10% of stockholders’ equity.

5. Guarantees

The Company, as a provider of financial services, routinely issues financial guarantees in the form of financial and performance standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit are contingent commitments issued by the Company generally to guarantee the payment or performance obligation of a customer to a third party. While these represent a potential outlay by the Company, a significant amount of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon. The Company has recourse against the customer for any amount it is required to pay to a third party under a standby letter of credit. The letters of credit are subject to the same credit policies, underwriting standards and approval process as loans made by the Company. Most of the standby letters of credit are secured, and in the event of nonperformance by customers, the Company has rights to the underlying collateral, which could include commercial real estate, physical plant and property, inventory, receivables, cash and marketable securities.

Upon issuance of standby letters of credit, the Company recognizes a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken, which is estimated to be equivalent to the amount of fees received from the customer over the life of the agreement. At June 30, 2025, that net liability was $4.0 million, which will be accreted into income over the remaining life of the respective commitments. The contractual amount of these letters of credit, which represents the maximum potential future payments guaranteed by the Company, was $610.3 million at June 30, 2025.

The Company periodically enters into credit risk participation agreements (RPAs) as a guarantor to other financial institutions, in order to mitigate those institutions’ credit risk associated with interest rate swaps with third parties. The RPA stipulates that, in the event of default by the third party on the interest rate swap, the Company will reimburse a portion of the loss borne by the financial institution. These interest rate swaps are normally collateralized (generally with real property, inventories and equipment) by the third party, which limits the credit risk associated with the Company’s RPAs. The third parties usually have other borrowing relationships with the Company. The Company monitors overall borrower collateral and at June 30, 2025, believes sufficient collateral is available to cover potential swap losses. The RPAs are carried at fair value throughout their term with all changes in fair value, including those due to a change in the third party’s creditworthiness, recorded in current earnings. The terms of the RPAs, which correspond to the terms of the underlying swaps, range from 1 to 15 years. At June 30, 2025, the fair value of the Company's guarantee liabilities for RPAs was $127 thousand, and the notional amount of the underlying swaps was $373.1 million. The maximum potential future payment guaranteed by the Company cannot be readily estimated but is dependent upon the fair value of the interest rate swaps at the time of default.

6. Leases

The Company has net investments in direct financing and sales-type leases to commercial, industrial, and tax-exempt entities. These leases are included within business loans on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company primarily leases various types of equipment, trucks and trailers, and office furniture and fixtures. Lease agreements may include options for the lessee to renew or purchase the leased equipment at the end of the lease term. The Company has elected to adopt the lease component expedient in which the lease and nonlease components are combined into the total lease receivable. The Company also leases office space to third parties, and these leases are classified as operating leases. The leases may include options to renew or expand the leased space, and currently the leases have remaining terms of 3 months to 13 years.

The following table provides the components of lease income.

8. Common Stock *

Presented below is a summary of the components used to calculate basic and diluted income per share. The Company applies the two-class method of computing income per share, as nonvested share-based awards that pay nonforfeitable common stock dividends are considered securities which participate in undistributed earnings with common stock. The two-class method requires the calculation of separate income per share amounts for the nonvested share-based awards and for common stock. Income per share attributable to common stock is shown in the table below. Nonvested share-based awards are further discussed in Note 13.

10. Segments

The Company segregates financial information for use in assessing its performance and allocating resources among three operating segments: Consumer, Commercial and Wealth. The Consumer segment consists of various consumer loan and deposit products offered through its retail branch network of approximately 140 locations.  This segment also includes residential mortgage, indirect and other consumer loan financing businesses, along with debit and credit card loan and fee businesses.  The Commercial segment provides corporate lending (including the Small Business Banking product line within the branch network), leasing, and international services, along with business and governmental deposit products and commercial cash management services.  This segment also includes both merchant and commercial bank card products as well as the Commercial Tradable Products division, which sells fixed income securities, underwrites municipal bonds, and provides securities safekeeping and accounting services to its business and correspondent bank customers.  The Wealth segment provides traditional trust and estate planning, advisory and discretionary investment management, and brokerage services.  This segment also provides various loan and deposit related services to its private banking customers.

The Company’s chief executive officer is its chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The CODM is the primary individual in control of resource allocation, and the allocation determinations are made in consultation with the Company’s executive management committee, of which the CODM is a member. The Company’s CODM primarily utilizes net income before taxes to evaluate each segment’s performance and allocate resources (including employees, financial, or capital resources), primarily through the Company’s annual budgeting process and periodic segment performance reviews. To manage operations and make decisions regarding resource allocations, the CODM is regularly provided and reviews total non-interest expense at a consolidated level and total non-interest expense for each segment.

The following table presents selected financial information by segment and reconciliations of combined segment totals to consolidated totals. There were no material intersegment revenues between the three segments. Management periodically makes changes to methods of assigning costs and income to its business segments to better reflect operating results. If appropriate, these changes are reflected in prior year information presented below.

Non-interest expense for the Consumer, Commercial, and Wealth segments above is primarily comprised of salaries, incentives, benefits, and allocated overhead costs for service and support. Non-interest expense for the segments also includes expenses for data processing and software, occupancy, and professional and other services.

The information presented above was derived from the internal profitability reporting system used by management to monitor and manage the financial performance of the Company. This information is based on internal management accounting procedures and methods, which have been developed to reflect the underlying economics of the businesses. The methodologies are applied in connection with funds transfer pricing and assignment of overhead costs among segments. Funds transfer pricing was used in the determination of net interest income by assigning a standard cost (credit) for funds used (provided by) assets and liabilities based on their maturity, prepayment and/or repricing characteristics.

The segment activity, as shown above, includes both direct and allocated items. Amounts in the “Other/Elimination” column include activity not related to the segments, such as that relating to administrative functions, the investment securities portfolio, and the effect of certain expense allocations to the segments. The provision for credit losses in this category contains the difference between net loan charge-offs assigned directly to the segments and the recorded provision for credit loss expense. Included in this category’s net interest income are earnings of the investment portfolio, which are not allocated to a segment. Additionally, interest expense on the Company's brokered certificates of deposit is included in this column, as the Company's brokered certificates of deposit are not allocated to a segment.

34

The performance measurement of the operating segments is based on the management structure of the Company and is not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other financial institution. The information is also not necessarily indicative of the segments' financial condition and results of operations if they were independent entities.

11. Derivative Instruments

The notional amounts of the Company’s derivative instruments are shown in the table below. These contractual amounts, along with other terms of the derivative, are used to determine amounts to be exchanged between counterparties and are not a measure of loss exposure. The Company's derivatives are not accounted for as accounting hedges except for the interest rate floors, as discussed below.

(In thousands)	June 30, 2025		December 31, 2024
Interest rate swaps	$	1,953,737	$	2,065,400
Interest rate floors	2,000,000		2,000,000
Interest rate caps	76,785		37,488
Credit risk participation agreements	540,569		503,196
Foreign exchange contracts	18,913		16,978
Mortgage loan commitments	10,346		3,060
Mortgage loan forward sale contracts	225		1,759
Forward TBA contracts	10,500		3,500
Total notional amount	$	4,611,075	$	4,631,381

Interest rate swap contracts are sold to commercial customers who wish to modify their interest rate sensitivity. The customers are engaged in a variety of businesses, including real estate, manufacturing, retail product distribution, education, and retirement communities. These interest rate swap contracts with customers are offset by matching interest rate swap contracts purchased by the Company from other financial institutions (dealers). Contracts with dealers that require central clearing are novated to a clearing agency who becomes the Company's counterparty. Because of the matching terms of the offsetting contracts, in addition to collateral provisions which mitigate the impact of non-performance risk, changes in fair value subsequent to initial recognition have a minimal effect on earnings.

Many of the Company’s interest rate swap contracts with large financial institutions contain contingent features relating to debt ratings or capitalization levels. Under these provisions, if the Company’s debt rating falls below investment grade or if the Company ceases to be “well-capitalized” under risk-based capital guidelines, certain counterparties can require immediate and ongoing collateralization on interest rate swaps in net liability positions or instant settlement of the contracts. The Company maintains debt ratings and capital well above these minimum requirements.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company held four interest rate floors indexed to 1-month SOFR to hedge the risk of declining interest rates on certain floating rate commercial loans. The floors have a combined notional value of $2.0 billion and are forward-starting. Each of the four interest rate floors has a six-year term and a notional amount of $500.0 million. In the event that the index rate falls below zero, the maximum rate that the Company can earn on the notional amount of each floor is limited to the strike rate. Information about the floors is provided in the table below.

Strike Rate		Effective Date	Maturity Date
3.50	%	July 1, 2024	July 1, 2030
3.25	%	November 1, 2024	November 1, 2030
3.00	%	March 1, 2025	March 1, 2031
2.75	%	July 1, 2025	July 1, 2031

The premium paid for the floors totaled $90.2 million. At June 30, 2025, the maximum length of time over which the Company is hedging its exposure to lower rates is approximately 6.0 years. These interest rate floors qualified and were designated as cash flow hedges and were assessed for effectiveness using regression analysis. The change in the fair value of these interest rate floors is recorded in AOCI, net of the amortization of the premiums paid, which are recorded against interest and fees on loans in the consolidated statements of income. As of June 30, 2025, net deferred losses on the interest rate floors totaled $13.6 million (pre-tax) and were recorded in AOCI in the consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2025, it is expected

35

that $11.6 million (pre-tax) interest rate floor premium amortization will be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months for the outstanding interest rate floors.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company monetized three interest rate floors that were previously classified as cash flow hedges with a combined notional balance of $1.5 billion and an asset fair value of $163.2 million. As of June 30, 2025, the total realized gains on the monetized cash flow hedges remaining in AOCI was $18.9 million (pre-tax), which will be reclassified into interest income over the next 1.5 years. The estimated amount of net gains related to the cash flow hedges remaining in AOCI at June 30, 2025 that is expected to be reclassified into income within the next 12 months is $16.0 million.

The Company also contracts with other financial institutions, as a guarantor or beneficiary, to share credit risk associated with certain interest rate swaps through risk participation agreements. The Company’s risks and responsibilities as guarantor are further discussed in Note 5 on Guarantees. In addition, the Company enters into foreign exchange contracts, which are mainly comprised of contracts with customers to purchase or deliver specific foreign currencies at specific future dates.

Under its program to sell residential mortgage loans in the secondary market, the Company designates certain newly-originated residential mortgage loans as held for sale. Derivative instruments arising from this activity include mortgage loan commitments and forward loan sale contracts. Changes in the fair values of the loan commitments and funded loans prior to sale that are due to changes in interest rates are economically hedged with forward contracts to sell residential mortgage-backed securities in the to-be-announced (TBA) market. These forward TBA contracts are also considered to be derivatives and are settled in cash at the security settlement date.

The fair values of the Company's derivative instruments, whose notional amounts are listed above, are shown in the table below. Information about the valuation methods used to determine fair value is provided in Note 15 on Fair Value Measurements.

The Company's policy is to present its derivative assets and derivative liabilities on a gross basis on its consolidated balance sheets, and these are reported in other assets and other liabilities. In prior years, certain collateral posted to and from the Company's clearing counterparty has been applied to the fair values of the cleared swap. There was no reduction to positive or negative fair values of cleared swaps at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The Company made an election to exclude the initial premiums paid on the interest rate floors from the hedge effectiveness measurement. Those initial premiums are amortized over the periods between the premium payment month and the contract maturity month. The pre-tax effects of the gains and losses (both the included and excluded amounts for hedge effectiveness assessment) recognized in the other comprehensive income from the cash flow hedging instruments and the amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into income (both included and excluded amounts for hedge effectiveness measurement) are shown in the table below.

The following table shows the extent to which assets and liabilities relating to derivative instruments have been offset in the consolidated balance sheets. It also provides information about these instruments which are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement, irrespective of whether they are offset, and the extent to which the instruments could potentially be offset. Also shown is collateral received or pledged in the form of other financial instruments, which is generally cash or marketable securities. The collateral amounts in this table are limited to the outstanding balances of the related asset or liability (after netting is applied); thus, amounts of excess collateral are not shown. Most of the derivatives in the following table were transacted under master netting arrangements that contain a conditional right of offset, such as close-out netting, upon default.

37

While the Company is party to master netting arrangements with most of its swap derivative counterparties, the Company does not offset derivative assets and liabilities under these agreements on its consolidated balance sheets. Collateral exchanged between the Company and dealer bank counterparties is generally subject to thresholds and transfer minimums, and usually consists of marketable securities. By contract, these may be sold or re-pledged by the secured party until recalled at a subsequent valuation date by the pledging party. For those swap transactions requiring central clearing, the Company posts cash or securities to its clearing agent. Collateral positions are valued daily, and adjustments to amounts received and pledged by the Company are made as appropriate to maintain proper collateralization for these transactions. Swap derivative transactions with customers are generally secured by rights to non-financial collateral, such as real and personal property, which is not shown in the table below.

12. Resale and Repurchase Agreements

The Company regularly enters into resale and repurchase agreement transactions with other financial institutions and with its own customers. Resale and repurchase agreements are agreements to purchase/sell securities subject to an obligation to resell/repurchase the same or similar securities. They are accounted for as secured lending and collateralized borrowing (e.g. financing transactions), not as true sales and purchases of the underlying collateral securities. Some of the resale and repurchase agreements were transacted under master netting arrangements that contain a conditional right of offset, such as close-out netting, upon default. The security collateral accepted or pledged in resale and repurchase agreements with other financial institutions may be sold or re-pledged by the secured party, but is usually delivered to and held by third party trustees. The Company generally retains custody of securities pledged for repurchase agreements with its customers.

The following table shows the extent to which resale agreement assets and repurchase agreement liabilities with the same counterparty have been offset on the consolidated balance sheets, in addition to the extent to which they could potentially be offset. Also shown is collateral received or pledged, which consists of marketable securities. The collateral amounts in the table are limited to the outstanding balances of the related asset or liability (after offsetting is applied); thus amounts of excess collateral are not shown.

13. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company issues stock-based compensation in the form of nonvested restricted stock and stock appreciation rights (SARs). Historically, most of the awards have been issued during the first quarter of each year. The stock-based compensation expense charged against income was $4.1 million and $4.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 respectively, and $8.5 million in the six months ended both June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Nonvested stock awards granted generally vest in 4 to 7 years and contain restrictions as to transferability, sale, pledging, or assigning, among others, prior to the end of the vesting period. Dividend and voting rights are conferred upon grant. A summary of the status of the Company’s nonvested share awards as of June 30, 2025, and changes during the six month period then ended, is presented below.

	Shares	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at January 1, 2025	1,252,653	$55.41
Granted	287,040	65.29
Vested	(241,921)	55.05
Forfeited	(28,060)	57.18
Nonvested at June 30, 2025	1,269,712	$57.68

SARs are granted with exercise prices equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. SARs vest ratably over 4 years of continuous service and have contractual terms of 10 years. All SARs must be settled in stock under provisions of the plan. In determining compensation cost, the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of SARs on date of grant. The current year per share average fair value and the model assumptions are shown in the table below.

Weighted per share average fair value at grant date	$19.72
Assumptions:
Dividend yield	1.7	%
Volatility	29.6	%
Risk-free interest rate	4.1	%

14. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenue from contracts with customers, Accounting Standard Codification 606 ("ASC 606"), requires revenue recognition for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, approximately 63% of the Company’s total revenue was comprised of net interest income, which is not within the scope of this guidance. Of the remaining revenue, those items that were subject to this guidance mainly included fees for bank card, trust, deposit account services and consumer brokerage services.

The following table disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by major product line.

	Three Months Ended June 30				Six Months Ended June 30
(In thousands)	2025		2024		2025		2024
Trust fees	$	55,571	$	52,291	$	112,163	$	103,396
Bank card transaction fees	46,362		47,477		91,955		94,407
Deposit account charges and other fees	26,248		25,325		52,870		49,476
Consumer brokerage services	5,383		4,478		10,168		8,886
Other non-interest income	18,817		12,325		33,208		22,841
Total non-interest income from contracts with customers	152,381		141,896		300,364		279,006
Other non-interest income (1)	13,232		10,348		24,198		22,086
Total non-interest income	$	165,613	$	152,244	$	324,562	$	301,092

(1) This revenue is not within the scope of ASC 606, and includes fees relating to bond trading activities, loan fees and sales, derivative instruments, standby letters of credit and various other transactions.

For bank card transaction fees, nearly all of debit and credit card fees are earned in the Consumer segment, while corporate card and merchant fees are earned in the Commercial segment. The Consumer and Commercial segments contributed approximately 28% and 72%, respectively, of the Company's deposit account charge revenue. All trust fees and nearly all consumer brokerage services income were earned in the Wealth segment.    

The following table presents the opening and closing receivable balances for the six month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 for the Company’s significant revenue from contracts with customers.

(In thousands)	June 30, 2025		December 31, 2024		June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Bank card transaction fees	$	14,296	$	17,754	$	15,824	$	18,069
Trust fees	1,937		2,165		2,174		1,764
Deposit account charges and other fees	8,039		7,897		7,366		6,588

For these revenue categories, none of the transaction price has been allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of the end of a reporting period.

15. Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Various financial instruments such as available for sale debt securities, equity securities, trading debt securities, certain investments relating to private equity activities, and derivatives are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets and liabilities on a nonrecurring basis, such as mortgage servicing rights and certain other investment securities. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, the Company uses various valuation techniques and assumptions when estimating fair value. For accounting disclosure purposes, a three-level valuation hierarchy of fair value measurements has been established. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

•Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

•Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly (such as interest rates, yield curves, and prepayment speeds).

•Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value. These may be internally developed, using the Company’s best information and assumptions that a market participant would consider.

The valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis are described in the Fair Value Measurements note in the Company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in these methodologies since then.

16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments held by the Company are set forth below. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information. They do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for many of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, risk characteristics and economic conditions. These estimates are subjective, involve uncertainties, and cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments and the classification of their fair value measurement within the valuation hierarchy are as follows at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Item 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes and with the statistical information and financial data appearing in this report as well as the Company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of results to be attained for any other period.

Pending Acquisition

On June 16, 2025, the Company and FineMark Holdings, Inc. ("FineMark") announced they entered into a definitive merger agreement ("Merger Agreement") in which the Company will acquire all outstanding shares of FineMark in an all-stock transaction ("Merger"). Immediately after the merger, FineMark's wholly-owned subsidiary, FineMark National Bank & Trust will merge into the Bank ("Bank Merger"). FineMark is headquartered in Fort Meyers, Florida and has 13 banking offices in Florida, Arizona, and South Carolina. As of June 30, 2025, FineMark disclosed that it had total assets of $3.9 billion (including $2.6 billion in loans), $3.5 billion of total liabilities (including $3.1 billion in deposits), and $373 million of total shareholders' equity. Under the terms of the agreement, the shareholders of FineMark will receive a fixed exchange ratio of .690 shares of Company common stock for each share of FineMark common stock. The transaction is valued at approximately $585 million (with the price based on the closing price of the Company's common shares as of June 13, 2025, the last trading day before the public announcement of the merger). The transaction remains subject to regulatory approval, approval of FineMark shareholders and other customary closing conditions. Pending these approvals, the transaction is anticipated to close on January 1, 2026.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred merger-related expenses consisting predominantly of professional services for investment banking, legal, and other services associated with the pending transaction that totaled $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2025.

Forward-Looking Information

This report may contain "forward-looking statements" that are subject to risks and uncertainties and include information about possible or assumed future results of operations. Many possible events or factors could affect the future financial results and performance of the Company. This could cause results or performance to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Words such as "expects", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", variations of such words and other similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements. Readers should not rely solely on the forward-looking statements and should consider all uncertainties and risks discussed throughout this report. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Such possible events or factors include: changes in economic conditions in the Company's market area; changes in policies by regulatory agencies; governmental legislation and regulation; fluctuations in interest rates; changes in liquidity requirements; demand for loans in the Company's market area; changes in accounting and tax principles, estimates made on income taxes, competition with other entities that offer financial services, cybersecurity threats; risks related to the proposed Merger with FineMark including, among others, (i) failure to complete the Merger or unexpected delays related to the merger or either party’s inability to satisfy closing conditions required to complete the Merger, (ii) certain restrictions during the pendency of the proposed Merger that may impact the parties’ ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions, (iii) diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities, (iv) cost savings and any revenue synergies from the Merger may not be fully realized or may take longer than anticipated to be realized, (v) deposits attrition, customer or employee loss and/or revenue loss as a result of the proposed Merger, and (vi) expenses related to the proposed Merger being greater than expected; and such other factors as discussed in Part I Item 1A - "Risk Factors" and Part II Item 7 - "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the Company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A. - "Risk Factors" in this report.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Related Policies

The Company has identified certain policies as being critical because they require management to make particularly difficult, subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These estimates and

49

related policies are the Company's allowance for credit losses and fair value measurement policies. A discussion of these estimates and related policies can be found in the sections captioned "Critical Accounting Policies" and "Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Liability for Unfunded Lending Commitments" in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no changes in the Company's application of critical accounting policies since December 31, 2024.

(2) Revenue includes net interest income and non-interest income.

(3) The efficiency ratio is calculated as non-interest expense (excluding intangibles amortization) as a percent of revenue.

(4) The tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio is a measurement which management believes is a useful indicator of capital adequacy and utilization.

It provides a meaningful basis for period to period and company to company comparisons, and also assists regulators, investors and analysts in analyzing the financial position of the Company. Tangible common equity and tangible assets are non-GAAP measures and should not be viewed as substitutes for, or superior to, data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, net income attributable to Commerce Bancshares, Inc. (net income) amounted to $152.5 million, an increase of $12.9 million, or 9.3%, compared to the second quarter of the previous year. For the current quarter, the annualized return on average assets was 1.95%, the annualized return on average equity was 17.40%, and the efficiency ratio was 54.77%. Diluted earnings per common share was $1.14 per share in the current quarter, an increase of 10.7% compared to $1.03 per share in the second quarter of 2024, and increased 16.3% compared to $0.98 per share in the previous quarter.

Compared to the second quarter of last year, net interest income increased $17.9 million, or 6.8%, mainly due to increases in interest income on investment securities and securities purchased under agreements to resell ("resale agreements") of $9.2 million and $6.1 million, respectively, partly offset by a decrease in interest income on loans of $7.0 million. Interest expense on deposits and interest expense on borrowings also decreased $11.0 million and $4.6 million, respectively. The provision for credit losses increased $129 thousand, or 2.4%, compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Non-interest income increased $13.4 million, or 8.8%, compared to the second quarter of 2024, mainly due to increases in trust fees and capital market fees of $3.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, along with $5.5 million in gains on the sale of assets. Net gains on investment securities totaled $437 thousand in the current quarter compared to net gains of $3.2 million in the same quarter of last year. Securities gains in the current quarter primarily resulted from net gains in fair value of $4.4 million recorded on private equity investments which were partly offset by net losses of $4.2 million on sales of available for sale debt securities. Non-interest expense increased $12.2 million, or 5.3%, over the second quarter of 2024, mainly due to higher salaries expense, professional and other services expense, and data processing and software expense, partly offset by a non-recurring charitable donation made during the prior year.

Net income for the first six months of 2025 totaled $284.1 million, an increase of $31.9 million, or 12.6% from the same period last year. Diluted earnings per common share was $2.12, an increase of 14.6% compared to $1.85 per share in the same period last year. For the first six months of 2025, the annualized return on average assets was 1.82%, the annualized return on average equity was 16.63% and the efficiency ratio was 55.18%. Net interest income increased $38.0 million, or 7.4%, over the same period last year. This growth was largely due to an increase in interest income on investment securities and securities purchased under agreements to resell ("resale agreements") of $19.7 million and $11.9 million, respectively, partly offset by a decline in interest income on loans of $17.5 million. Interest expense on deposits and interest expense on borrowings also decreased $20.3 million and $9.8 million, respectively, over the same period last year. The provision for credit losses was $20.1 million for the first six months of 2025, compared to a provision of $10.3 million in the same period last year. Non-interest income increased $23.5 million, or 7.8%, from the first six months of last year largely due to increases in trust fees, deposit fees, and capital market fees. Non-interest expense increased $4.9 million, or 1.0%, over the first six months of last year mainly due to increases in salaries and benefits expense and professional and other services expense, partly offset by non-recurring litigation settlement expense during the prior year.

Net interest income in the second quarter of 2025 was $280.1 million, an increase of $17.9 million over the second quarter of 2024. On a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis, net interest income totaled $282.4 million in the second quarter of 2025, up $17.9 million over the same period last year and up $11.0 million over the previous quarter. The increase in net interest income

53

compared to the second quarter of 2024 was mainly due to higher interest income earned on investment securities (FTE) of $9.2 million and lower deposit interest expense of $11.1 million, partly offset by lower interest income earned on loans (FTE) of $7.0 million. The increase in total interest earned on investment securities (FTE) was mainly the result of higher average balances of U.S. government and federal agency securities, while the decrease in deposit interest expense was due to lower average rates paid, partly offset by higher average balances. Interest income earned on loans (FTE) decreased mainly due to lower average rates, partly offset by higher average balances. The Company's net yield on earning assets (FTE) was 3.70% in the current quarter compared to 3.55% in the second quarter of 2024.

Total interest income (FTE) increased $2.2 million over the second quarter of 2024. Interest income on loans (FTE) was $262.1 million during the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of $7.0 million, or 2.6%, from the same quarter last year. The decrease in loan interest income from the same quarter of last year was primarily due to a decline of 29 basis points in the average rate earned, partly offset by growth of $321.3 million, or 1.9%, in average loan balances. Most of the decrease in interest income occurred in the construction and land, business real estate and business loan categories. The largest decrease to interest income occurred in construction and land loan interest, which declined $4.2 million due to a 97 basis point decrease in the average rate earned, coupled with a decline in average balances of $40.7 million, or 2.8%. Business real estate loan interest income decreased $2.7 million due to a decrease of 34 basis points in the average rate earned, slightly offset by higher average balances of $26.3 million. Business loan interest income declined $1.7 million due to a 39 basis point decrease in the average rate earned, partly offset by higher average balances of $266.9 million, or 4.5%. Consumer credit card loan interest income declined $784 thousand mainly due to a 78 basis point decrease in the average rate earned. These decreases in interest income were partly offset by an increase in personal real estate loan interest income of $2.1 million mainly due to a 26 basis point increase in the average rate earned.

Interest income on investment securities (FTE) was $80.6 million during the second quarter of 2025, which was an increase of $9.2 million over the same quarter last year. The increase in interest income occurred mainly in interest earned on U.S. government and federal agency securities which grew $13.0 million due to a $1.4 billion increase in average balances, partly offset by a 76 basis point decrease in the average rate earned. Interest income related to the Company's U.S. Treasury inflation-protected securities, which is tied to the non-seasonally adjusted Consumer Price Index (CPI-U), decreased $2.8 million from the same quarter last year. Interest income earned on asset-backed securities grew $3.6 million due to a 123 basis point increase in the average rate earned, partly offset by a decrease in average balances of $200.2 million, or 11.2%. These increases to interest income were partly offset by a decline in interest income on mortgage-backed securities of $4.7 million, driven by lower average balances of $912.4 million, or 16.4%. In addition, the Company recorded a $1.0 million adjustment to premium amortization at June 30, 2025, which increased interest income and reflected slower forward prepayment speed estimates on mortgage-backed securities. This increase was higher than the $740 thousand adjustment increasing income in the same quarter last year. Interest income earned on state and municipal obligations declined $1.3 million mainly due to a $289.9 million, or 27.1%, decrease in average balances. Interest earned on other securities decreased $1.3 million mainly due to a $207.8 million, or 27.1%, decrease in average balances.

To determine the amount of the allowance for credit losses on loans and the liability for unfunded lending commitments, the Company has an established process which assesses the risks and losses expected in its portfolios. This process provides an allowance based on estimates of allowances for pools of loans and unfunded lending commitments, as well as a second, smaller component based on certain individually evaluated loans and unfunded lending commitments. The Company's policies and processes for determining the allowance for credit losses on loans and the liability for unfunded lending commitments are discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements and in the "Allowance for Credit Losses" discussion within Critical Accounting Estimates and Related Policies in Item 7 of the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Net loan charge-offs in the second quarter of 2025 amounted to $9.7 million, compared to $10.8 million in the prior quarter and $9.8 million in the second quarter of last year. Compared to the same period last year, net loan charge-offs in the second quarter of 2025 decreased $67 thousand and decreased $1.1 million from the previous quarter. The decrease from the prior year was mainly driven by decreases of $417 thousand and $190 thousand in business real estate and business loan net charge-offs, respectively, offset by increases of $364 thousand and $339 thousand in consumer and consumer credit card loan net charge-offs, respectively. The decrease in net loan charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from the previous quarter was driven by decreases of $802 thousand and $684 thousand in net charge-offs on business real estate and consumer loans, respectively, partially offset by an increase of $386 thousand in net charge-offs on business loans.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, annualized net charge-offs on average consumer credit card loans were 5.08%, compared to 5.04% in the previous quarter and 4.91% in the same period last year. Consumer loan annualized net charge-offs in the current quarter amounted to .40%, compared to .56% in the prior quarter and .34% in the same period last year. In the second quarter of 2025, total annualized net loan charge-offs were .22%, compared to .25% in the previous quarter and .23% in the same period last year.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the provision for credit losses on loans was $7.9 million, which was a decrease of $7.2 million from the provision recorded in the prior quarter. The provision for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included an increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans, as well as slightly higher loan net charge-offs, as compared to the provision for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Compared to the same period in the prior year, the provision for credit losses on loans for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was flat. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the provision for credit losses on loans was $23.0 million, which was an $8.2 million increase over the $14.8 million provision recorded in the same period last year. The increase mainly occurred during the first quarter of 2025, as explained above. Changes in the provision are driven by changes in the estimate for the allowance for credit losses on loans.

At June 30, 2025, the allowance for credit losses on loans increased $2.5 million compared to the allowance for credit losses on loans at December 31, 2024. The increase in the allowance for credit losses mainly occurred in the personal banking loan portfolio, which saw an increase of $2.4 million due to increased loss experience in the consumer portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in the allowance for credit losses in the personal real estate loan portfolio. The forecast utilized to estimate the allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2025 reflected a slight decline in key macroeconomic variables. The allowance for credit losses on loans was $165.3 million at June 30, 2025 and was .94%, .95% and .92% of total loans at June 30, 2025, December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

In the current quarter, the provision for credit losses on unfunded lending commitments was a benefit of $2.3 million, compared to a benefit of $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. At June 30, 2025, the liability for unfunded lending commitments was $16.0 million, compared to $18.9 million at December 31, 2024 and $20.7 million at June 30, 2024. The liability decreased primarily due to decreases in unfunded lending commitment balances, coupled with improvement in loss rate assumptions for the Company's construction loans. The Company's unfunded lending commitments primarily relate to construction loans, and the Company's estimate for credit losses in its unfunded lending commitments utilizes the same model and forecast as its estimate for credit losses on loans. See Note 2 for further discussion of the model inputs utilized in the Company's estimate of credit losses.

The Company considers the allowance for credit losses on loans and the liability for unfunded commitments adequate to cover losses expected in the loan portfolio, including unfunded commitments, at June 30, 2025.

The allowance for credit losses on loans and the liability for unfunded lending commitments are estimates that require significant judgment including projections of the macro-economic environment. The Company utilizes a third-party macro-economic forecast that continuously changes due to economic conditions and events. These changes in the forecast cause fluctuations in the allowance for credit losses on loans and the liability for unfunded lending commitments. The Company uses judgment to assess the macro-economic forecast and internal loss data in estimating the allowance for credit losses on loans and the liability for unfunded lending commitments. These estimates are subject to periodic refinement based on changes in the underlying external and internal data.

Risk Elements of Loan Portfolio

The following table presents non-performing assets and loans which are past due 90 days and still accruing interest. Non-performing assets include non-accruing loans and foreclosed real estate. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when management does not expect to collect payments consistent with acceptable and agreed upon terms of repayment. Loans that are 90 days past due as to principal and/or interest payments are generally placed on non-accrual, unless they are both well-secured and in the process of collection, or they are personal banking loans that are exempt under regulatory rules from being classified as non-accrual.

(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2025			December 31, 2024
Non-accrual loans	$	18,870		$	18,278

Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets	.06		%	.06		%
Total loans past due 90 days and still accruing interest	$	25,303		$	24,516

Non-accrual loans totaled $18.9 million at June 30, 2025, an increase of $592.0 thousand from the balance at December 31, 2024. The increase occurred mainly in business non-accrual loans, which increased $309 thousand, as well as construction and land loans, which increased $206 thousand. At June 30, 2025, non-accrual loans were comprised of business real estate (80.0%), revolving home equity (10.5%), business (2.2%), personal real estate (5.0%), and construction and land (2.3%) loans. Foreclosed real estate totaled $397 thousand at June 30, 2025, an increase of $54 thousand compared to December 31, 2024. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $25.3 million as of June 30, 2025, an increase of $787 thousand from December 31, 2024. Balances by class for non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days and still accruing interest are shown in the "Delinquent and non-accrual loans" section in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

In addition to the non-performing and past due loans mentioned above, the Company also has identified loans for which management has concerns about the ability of the borrowers to meet existing repayment terms. They are classified as substandard under the Company's internal rating system. The loans are generally secured by either real estate or other borrower assets, reducing the potential for loss should they become non-performing. Although these loans are generally identified as potential problem loans, they may never become non-performing. Such loans totaled $276.0 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $330.3 million at December 31, 2024, resulting in a decrease of $54.3 million, or 16.4%.

When borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty, the Company may agree to modify the contractual terms of a loan to a borrower in order to assist the borrower in repaying principal and interest owed to the Company. At June 30, 2025, the Company held $138.1 million of loans that had been modified during the six months ended June 30, 2025. These loans are further discussed in the "Modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty" section in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

Loans with Special Risk Characteristics

Management relies primarily on an internal risk rating system, in addition to delinquency status, to assess risk in the loan portfolio, and these statistics are presented in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. However, certain types of loans are considered at high risk of loss due to their terms, location, or special conditions. Additional information about the major types of loans in these categories and their risk features are provided below. Information based on loan-to-value (LTV) ratios was generally calculated with valuations at loan origination date. The Company normally obtains an updated appraisal or valuation at the time a loan is renewed or modified, or if the loan becomes significantly delinquent or is in the process of being foreclosed upon.

Real Estate – Construction and Land Loans

The Company's portfolio of construction and land loans, as shown in the table below, amounted to 8.0% of total loans outstanding at June 30, 2025. The largest component of construction and land loans was commercial construction, which increased $6.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. At June 30, 2025, multi-family residential construction loans totaled approximately $571.7 million, or 47.5%, of the commercial construction loan portfolio, compared to $526.6 million, or 44.0%, at December 31, 2024.

Real Estate – Business Loans

Total business real estate loans were $3.8 billion at June 30, 2025 and comprised 21.3% of the Company's total loan portfolio. These loans include properties such as manufacturing and warehouse buildings, small office and medical buildings, churches, hotels and motels, shopping centers, and other commercial properties. At June 30, 2025, 33.5% of business real estate loans were for owner-occupied real estate properties, which have historically resulted in lower net charge-off rates than non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loans.

Revolving Home Equity Loans

The Company had $364.4 million in revolving home equity loans at June 30, 2025 that were collateralized by residential real estate. Most of these loans (93.5%) are written with terms requiring interest-only monthly payments. These loans are offered in three main product lines: LTV up to 80%, 80% to 90%, and 90% to 100%. As of June 30, 2025, the outstanding

63

principal of loans with an original LTV higher than 80% was $28.2 million, or 7.9% of the portfolio, compared to $31.9 million as of December 31, 2024. Total revolving home equity loan balances over 30 days past due were $3.7 million at June 30, 2025 and $5.6 million at December 31, 2024, and the outstanding balance of revolving home equity loans on non-accrual status was $2.0 million at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The weighted average FICO score for the total portfolio balance at June 30, 2025 is 775. At maturity, the accounts are re-underwritten, and if they qualify under the Company's credit, collateral and capacity policies, the borrower is given the option to renew the line of credit or convert the outstanding balance to an amortizing loan.  If criteria are not met, amortization is required, or the borrower may pay off the loan. During the remainder of 2025 through 2028, approximately 15% of the Company's current outstanding balances are expected to mature. Of these balances, approximately 82% have a FICO score of 700 or higher. The Company does not expect a significant increase in losses as these loans mature, due to their high FICO scores, low LTVs, and low historical loss levels.

Consumer Loans

Within the consumer loan portfolio are several direct and indirect product lines, which include loans for the purchase of automobiles, motorcycles, marine and RVs. Auto loans comprised 35.6% of the consumer loan portfolio at June 30, 2025, and outstanding balances for auto loans were $769.1 million and $776.7 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The balances over 30 days past due amounted to $8.1 million at June 30, 2025 and $14.4 million at December 31, 2024, respectively, and comprised 1.1% of the outstanding balances of these loans at June 30, 2025 and 1.9% at December 31, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, $190.2 million of new auto loans were originated, compared to $196.4 million during the first six months of 2024.  At June 30, 2025, the automobile loan portfolio had a weighted average FICO score of 756, and net charge-offs on auto loans were 1.0% of average auto loans.

The Company's consumer loan portfolio also includes fixed rate home equity loans, typically for home repair or remodeling, and these loans comprised 9.9% of the consumer loan portfolio at June 30, 2025. Losses on these loans have historically been low, and the Company saw net recoveries of $16 thousand for the first six months of 2025. Private banking loans comprised 38.4% of the consumer loan portfolio at June 30, 2025. The Company's private banking loans are generally well-collateralized, and at June 30, 2025 were secured primarily by assets held by the Company's trust department. The remaining portion of the Company's consumer loan portfolio is comprised of health services financing, motorcycles, marine and RV loans. Net charge-offs on private banking, health services financing, motorcycle and marine and RV loans totaled $1.4 million in the first six months of 2025 and were .3% of the average balances of these loans at June 30, 2025.

Consumer Credit Card Loans

The Company offers low promotional rates on selected consumer credit card products. Out of a portfolio at June 30, 2025 of $576.2 million in consumer credit card loans outstanding, approximately $122.5 million, or 21.3%, carried a low promotional rate. Within the next six months, $51.7 million of these loans are scheduled to convert to the ongoing higher contractual rate. To mitigate some of the risk involved with this credit card product, the Company performs credit checks and detailed analysis of the customer borrowing profile before approving the loan application. Management believes that the risks in the consumer loan portfolio are reasonable and the anticipated loss ratios are within acceptable parameters.

Oil and Gas Energy Lending

The Company's energy lending portfolio is comprised of lending to the petroleum and natural gas sectors and totaled $330.5 million, or 1.9% of total loans at June 30, 2025, a decrease of $7.6 million from December 31, 2024, as shown in the table below.

Shared National Credits

The Company participates in credits of large, publicly traded companies which are defined by regulation as shared national credits, or SNCs. Regulations define SNCs as loans exceeding $100 million that are shared by three or more financial institutions. The Company typically participates in these loans when business operations are maintained in the local communities or regional markets and opportunities to provide other banking services are present. The balance of SNC loans totaled $1.7 billion and $1.6 billion at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Additional unfunded commitments at June 30, 2025 totaled $2.3 billion.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $42.4 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $37.0 million in the first quarter of 2025 and $38.6 million in the second quarter of 2024. The Company's effective tax rate, including the effect of non-controlling interest, was 21.8% in the second quarter of 2025, compared to 21.9% in the first quarter of 2025 and 21.7% in the second quarter of 2024.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Act ("OBBBA") was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. We do not expect these items to have a significant impact on our financial statements, though we expect that some minor operational changes may be necessary to support new information reporting requirements.

Financial Condition

Balance Sheet

Total assets of the Company were $32.3 billion at June 30, 2025 and $32.0 billion at December 31, 2024. Earning assets (excluding the allowance for credit losses on loans and fair value adjustments on available for sale debt securities) amounted to $31.1 billion at June 30, 2025 and $30.9 billion at December 31, 2024, and consisted of 57% in loans and 32% in investment securities at June 30, 2025.

At June 30, 2025, total loans increased $445.4 million or 2.6%, compared to balances at December 31, 2024. The increase was mainly due to growth in business and business real estate loans of $274.9 million and $96.6 million, respectively. The increase in business loans was mainly due growth in commercial and industrial lending. In addition, consumer loans, which includes automobile, marine and RV, fixed rate home equity and other consumer loans, increased $84.5 million, mainly due to growth in other consumer loans. These increases were partly offset by a decrease in consumer credit cards loans of $19.8 million.

Total available for sale debt securities, excluding fair value adjustments, decreased $447.3 million at June 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024. Available for sale debt security sales, maturities and pay downs during this period totaled $993.9 million, partly offset by purchases of available for sale debt securities during this period of $532.4 million. The decline in available for sale debt securities was mainly the result of lower balances of mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and state and municipal obligations, which decreased $289.3 million, $78.9 million and $48.1 million, respectively, at June 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024. At June 30, 2025, the duration of the available for sale investment portfolio

65

was 4.2 years, and maturities and pay downs of approximately $1.3 billion are expected to occur during the next 12 months. The Company does not have any investment securities classified as held-to-maturity.

Total deposits at June 30, 2025 amounted to $25.5 billion, an increase of $200.4 million compared to December 31, 2024. The increase in deposits largely resulted from an increase in interest checking and money market deposit balances of $957.6 million. This increase was partly offset by a decrease in demand deposits of $757.1 million, mainly in business demand deposits (decrease of $819.8 million). The Company’s borrowings totaled $2.6 billion at June 30, 2025, a decrease of $315.3 million from balances at December 31, 2024, mainly due to a decline in customer repurchase agreement balances.

Interest earning balances at the Federal Reserve Bank, which have overnight maturities and are used for general liquidity purposes, totaled $2.6 billion at June 30, 2025 and decreased $289 thousand from December 31, 2024. At June 30, 2025, the Company did not have a balance of federal funds sold, which are funds lent to the Company's correspondent bank customers with overnight maturities. The fair value of the available for sale debt portfolio was $8.9 billion at June 30, 2025 and included an unrealized net loss of $764.4 million. The total net unrealized loss included net losses of $695.9 million on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities and $59.8 million on state and municipal obligations.

The Company's available for sale debt securities portfolio has a diverse mix of high quality and liquid investment securities with a duration of 4.2 years at June 30, 2025. Approximately $1.3 billion of the Company's available for sale debt portfolio is expected to mature or pay down during the next 12 months, and these funds offer substantial resources to meet either new loan demand or offset potential reductions in the Company's deposit funding base. The Company pledges portions of its investment securities portfolio to secure public fund deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, trust funds, letters of credit issued by the FHLB, and borrowing capacity at the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank. Total investment securities pledged for these purposes were as follows:

The average loans to deposits ratio is a measure of a bank's liquidity, and the Company’s average loans to deposits ratio was 69.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Core customer deposits, defined as non-interest bearing, interest checking, savings, and money market deposit accounts totaled $23.1 billion and represented 90.7% of the Company's total deposits at June 30, 2025. These core deposits are normally less volatile, as they are often with customer relationships tied to other products offered by the Company, promoting long lasting relationships and stable funding sources. Core deposits increased $215.9 million at June 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024, primarily due to increases in commercial and wealth management deposits of $351.2 million and $12.7 million, respectively. While the Company considers core consumer and

66

wealth management deposits less volatile, corporate deposits could decline if interest rates increase significantly, encouraging corporate customers to increase investing activities, or if the economy deteriorates and companies experience lower cash inflows, reducing deposit balances. If these corporate deposits decline, the Company's funding needs may be met by liquidity supplied by investment security maturities and pay downs expected to total $1.3 billion over the next year, as noted above. In addition, as shown in the table of collateral available for future advances below, the Company has borrowing capacity of $6.3 billion through advances from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve.

The Company also holds securities sold under agreements to repurchase ("resale agreements") which are an additional source of liquidity. At June 30, 2025, the Company's resale agreements totaled $850.0 million and mature from 2028 through 2030. Under these agreements, the Company lends funds to upstream financial institutions and holds marketable securities, safe-kept by a third-party custodian, as collateral. This collateral totaled $874.6 million in fair value at June 30, 2025.

Certificates of deposit of $100,000 or greater totaled $1.4 billion at June 30, 2025. These deposits are normally considered more volatile and higher costing, and comprised 5.4% of total deposits at June 30, 2025.

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company issued $100.0 million of short-term brokered certificates of deposit, which all matured by December 31, 2024. The Company may occasionally issue brokered certificates of deposit to test the reliability of this potential funding source. While it is not clear how many brokered certificates of deposit the market would allow the Company to issue, the Company believes brokered certificates of deposits may be an additional, reliable source of liquidity during periods of stress in the banking industry.

Other important components of liquidity are the level of borrowings from third party sources and the availability of future credit. During 2025, the Company's outside borrowings have mainly been comprised of federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements, as follows:

Other debt	15,049		3,984		56
Total	$	2,611,510	$	2,555,383	$	2,926,814

Federal funds purchased, which totaled $126.0 million at June 30, 2025, are unsecured overnight borrowings obtained mainly from upstream correspondent banks with which the Company maintains approved lines of credit. At June 30, 2025, the Company had approved lines of credit totaling $4.5 billion. Since these borrowings are unsecured and limited by market trading activity, their availability may be less certain than collateralized sources of borrowings. Retail repurchase agreements are offered to customers wishing to earn interest in highly liquid balances and are used by the Company as a funding source considered to be stable, but short-term in nature. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by securities in the Company's investment portfolio. Total repurchase agreements at June 30, 2025 were comprised of non-insured customer funds totaling $2.5 billion, and securities pledged as collateral for these retail agreements totaled $2.5 billion at June 30, 2025. The Company also borrows on a secured basis through advances from the FHLB. The advances are generally short-term, fixed interest rate borrowings. There were no advances outstanding from the FHLB at June 30, 2025.

The Company pledges certain assets, including loans and investment securities, to both the FRB and the FHLB as security to establish lines of credit and borrow from these entities. Based on the amount and type of collateral pledged, the FHLB establishes a collateral value from which the Company may draw advances against the collateral. Additionally, this collateral is used to enable the FHLB to issue letters of credit in favor of public fund depositors of the Company. The FRB also establishes a collateral value of assets pledged and permits borrowings from the discount window. The following table reflects the collateral value of assets pledged, borrowings, and letters of credit outstanding, in addition to the estimated future funding capacity available to the Company at June 30, 2025.

The Company receives outside ratings from both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s on the consolidated company and its subsidiary bank, Commerce Bank. These ratings are as follows:

	Standard & Poor’s	Moody’s
Commerce Bancshares, Inc.
Issuer rating	A-
Rating outlook	Stable
Commerce Bank
Issuer rating	A	A3
Baseline credit assessment		a2
Short-term rating	A-1	P-1
Rating outlook	Stable	Stable

The Company considers these ratings to be indications of a sound capital base and strong liquidity and believes that these ratings would help ensure the ready marketability of its commercial paper, should the need arise. No commercial paper has been outstanding during the past ten years. The Company has no subordinated or hybrid debt instruments which would affect future borrowing capacity. Because of its lack of significant long-term debt, the Company believes that through its Commercial Tradable Products division or in other public debt markets, it could generate additional liquidity from sources such as jumbo certificates of deposit, privately placed corporate notes or other forms of debt.

The cash flows from the operating, investing and financing activities of the Company resulted in a net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $229.7 million during the first six months of 2025, as reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows in this report. Operating activities, consisting mainly of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items, provided cash flow of $249.8 million and have historically been a stable source of funds. Investing activities, which occur mainly in the loan and investment securities portfolios, used cash of $250.7 million. Activity in the investment securities portfolio used cash of $466.5 million from a net increase in loans and $225.0 million from purchases of securities under agreements to resell (net of repayments). These uses of cash were partly balanced by sales, maturities, and pay downs (net of purchases) of investment securities, which provided cash of $463.9 million. Investing activities are somewhat unique to financial institutions in that, while large sums of cash flow are normally used to fund growth in investment securities, loans, or other bank assets, they are normally dependent on the financing activities described below. Financing activities used cash of $228.7 million, largely resulting from federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchases, which used cash of $330.3 million during the first six months of 2025. This decrease was largely offset by a net increase of $230.6 million in deposits. Additionally, purchases of treasury stock and cash dividends (including distributions to non-controlling interest) used cash of $67.0 million and $77.0 million, respectively.

Capital Management

The Company met all capital adequacy requirements and had regulatory capital ratios in excess of the levels established for well-capitalized institutions at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, as shown in the following table.

(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2025			December 31, 2024			Minimum Capital Requirement		Capital Conservation Buffer		Minimum Ratios Requirement including Capital Conservation Buffer		Minimum Ratios for Well-Capitalized Banks *

*Under Prompt Corrective Action requirements

The Company is subject to a 2.5% capital conservation buffer, which is an amount above the minimum ratios under capital adequacy guidelines, and is intended to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Failure to maintain the buffer will result in constraints on dividends, share repurchases, and executive compensation.

In the first quarter of 2020, the interim final rule of the Federal Reserve Bank and other U.S. banking agencies became effective, providing banks that adopted CECL (ASU 2016-13) during the 2020 calendar year the option to delay recognizing the estimated impact on regulatory capital until after a two year deferral period, followed by a three year transition period. In connection with the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, the Company elected to utilize this option. As a result, the two year deferral period for the Company extended through December 31, 2021. Beginning on January 1, 2022, the Company was required to phase in 25% of the previously deferred estimated capital impact of CECL, with an additional 25% to be phased in at the beginning of each subsequent year until fully phased in, which was during the first quarter of 2025.

The Company maintains a treasury stock buyback program under authorizations by its Board of Directors (the Board) and periodically purchases stock in the open market. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company purchased 1,026,705 shares at an average price of $63.88 in open market purchases and through stock-based compensation transactions. At June 30, 2025, 1,904,943 shares remained available for purchase under the current Board authorization.

The Company's common stock dividend policy reflects its earnings outlook, desired payout ratios, the need to maintain adequate capital levels and alternative investment options. The Company paid a $.275 per share cash dividend on its common stock in the second quarter of 2025, which was a 7.0% increase compared to its 2024 quarterly dividend.

Material Cash Requirements, Commitments, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contingencies

The Company's material cash requirements include commitments for contractual obligations (both short-term and long-term), commitments to extend credit, and off-balance sheet arrangements. The Company's material cash requirements for the next 12 months are primarily to fund loan growth. Additionally, the Company will utilize cash to fund deposit maturities and withdrawals that may occur in the next 12 months. Other contractual obligations, purchase commitments, lease obligations, and unfunded commitments may require cash payments by the Company within the next 12 months, and these are further discussed in the Company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Further discussion of the Company's longer-term material cash obligations and sources for fulfilling those obligations is below.

In the normal course of business, various commitments and contingent liabilities arise that are not required to be recorded on the balance sheet. The most significant of these are loan commitments, which at June 30, 2025 totaled $15.9 billion (including $6.0 billion in unused, approved credit card lines). In addition, the Company enters into standby and commercial letters of credit. The contractual amount of standby and commercial letters of credit totaled $596.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively, at June 30, 2025. As many commitments expire unused or only partially used, these totals do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements. The allowance for these commitments is recorded in the Company’s liability for unfunded lending commitments within other liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2025, the liability for unfunded

69

lending commitments totaled $16.0 million. See further discussion of the liability for unfunded lending commitments in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company regularly purchases various state tax credits arising from third party property redevelopment. These credits are either resold to third parties at a profit or retained for use by the Company. During the first six months of 2025, purchases and sales of tax credits amounted to $118.2 million and $94.6 million, respectively. Fees from sales of tax credits were $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $2.9 million in the same period last year. At June 30, 2025, the Company expected to fund outstanding purchase commitments of $110.6 million during the remainder of 2025 and had purchase commitments of $390.8 million that it expects to fund from 2026 through 2029.

The Company continued to maintain a strong liquidity position throughout the first six months of 2025. Through the various sources of liquidity described above, the Company maintains a liquidity position that it believes will adequately satisfy its financial obligations.

Consumer

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, income before income taxes for the Consumer segment decreased $11.5 million, or 9.2%, compared to the first six months of 2024. The decrease in income before income taxes was due to increases in non-interest expense of $5.4 million, or 3.3%, and the provision for credit losses of $1.9 million and declines in net interest income of $3.0 million, or 1.2%, and non-interest income of $1.2 million, or 2.5%. Net interest income declined mainly due to lower net allocated funding credits assigned to the Consumer segment's loan and deposit portfolios of $8.2 million. This decrease was partly offset by lower deposit interest expense of $5.3 million. Non-interest income decreased mainly due to lower net bank card fees (mainly credit and debit card fees). Non-interest expense increased over the same period in the previous year mainly due to higher marketing, miscellaneous losses, data processing and software, and supplies expense. In addition, allocated support costs increased due to higher allocated costs for retail administration and operations. The increase in the provision for credit losses over the first six months of 2024 was mainly due to higher auto and consumer credit card loan net charge-offs.

Commercial

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, income before income taxes for the Commercial segment increased $12.7 million, or 7.0%, compared to the same period in the previous year. This increase was mainly due to higher net interest income and non-interest income, partly offset by higher non-interest expense. Net interest income increased $8.7 million, or 3.4%, mainly due to lower interest expense on deposits and customer repurchase agreements of $13.1 million and $4.3 million, respectively, coupled with higher net allocated funding credits of $10.5 million. These increases to income were partly offset by lower loan

70

interest income of $19.9 million. Non-interest income increased $14.6 million, or 11.2%, over the previous year mainly due to higher gains on asset sales and growth in deposit account fees (mainly corporate cash management fees) and capital market fees (mainly underwriting and trading securities). These increases were partly offset by a decrease in net bank card fees (mainly corporate card fees). Non-interest expense increased $10.7 million, or 5.3%, mainly due to higher legal fees, salaries and benefits expense and allocated service and support costs for commercial payments and product support, commercial loan servicing and operations, and branch employee expense. The provision for credit losses decreased $126 thousand from the same period last year, mainly due to commercial and industrial loan net recoveries.

Wealth

Wealth segment pre-tax profitability for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $6.0 million, or 7.0%, over the same period in the previous year. Net interest income decreased $229 thousand, or .5%, mainly due to a $5.0 million decrease in net allocated funding credits. This decrease was largely offset by a $3.0 million increase in loan interest income and a $1.8 million decrease deposit interest expense. Non-interest income increased $9.9 million, or 8.4%, over the prior year largely due to higher private client and institutional trust fees and brokerage fees (mainly annuity and advisory fees). Non-interest expense increased $3.6 million, or 4.7%, mainly due to higher salaries and benefits, data processing and software, and allocated support costs for information technology. The provision for credit losses increased $22 thousand over the same period last year.

The Other/Elimination category in the preceding table includes the activity of various support and overhead operating units of the Company, in addition to the investment securities portfolio and other items not allocated to the segments. In accordance with the Company’s transfer pricing procedures, the difference between the total provision for credit losses and total net charge-offs/recoveries is not allocated to a business segment and is included in this category. The pre-tax profitability in this category was $29.5 million higher than in the same period last year. Unallocated securities losses were $7.2 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to gains of $3.0 million in 2024. Also, the unallocated provision for credit losses decreased $8.0 million, primarily driven by a decrease in the liability for unfunded lending commitments, partly offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses on loans, which are both not allocated to the segments for management reporting purposes. Net charge-offs are allocated to the segments when incurred for management reporting purposes. The provision for credit losses on loans in the first six months of 2025 was $23.0 million, or $2.5 million higher than net charge-offs, due to an increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans. In the comparable period last year, the provision for credit losses on loans was $14.8 million, or $3.8 million lower than net charge-offs, due to a decrease in the allowance for credit losses on loans. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company's provision on unfunded lending commitments was a benefit of $2.9 million. Additionally, net interest income increased $32.6 million and non-interest income increased $202 thousand, while non-interest expense decreased $14.8 million.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest rate risk management focuses on maintaining consistent growth in net interest income within Board-approved policy limits. The Company primarily uses earnings simulation models to analyze net interest income sensitivity to movement in interest rates. The Company performs monthly simulations that model interest rate movements and risk in accordance with changes to its balance sheet composition. For further discussion of the Company’s market risk, see the Interest Rate Sensitivity section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The table below shows the effects of gradual shifts in interest rates over a twelve month period on the Company’s net interest income versus the Company's net interest income in a flat rate scenario.  The simulation presents three rising rate scenarios and three falling rate scenarios, and in these scenarios, rates are assumed to change evenly over 12 months, while the balance sheet remains flat.

The Company utilizes this simulation both for monitoring interest rate risk and for liquidity planning purposes.  While the future effects of rising and falling rates on deposit balances cannot be known, the Company maintains a practice of running multiple rate scenarios, when relevant, to better understand interest rate risk and its effect on the Company’s performance. 

	June 30, 2025				March 31, 2025
(Dollars in millions)	$ Change in Net Interest Income		% Change in Net Interest Income		$ Change in Net Interest Income		% Change in Net Interest Income
300 basis points rising	$	34.5	3.11	%	$	18.4	1.68	%
200 basis points rising	27.8		2.51		21.2		1.94
100 basis points rising	17.9		1.62		23.2		2.12
100 basis points falling	$	(23.4)	(2.11)	%	$	(20.7)	(1.89)	%
200 basis points falling	(43.3)		(3.90)		(37.7)		(3.45)
300 basis points falling	(55.6)		(5.02)		(47.1)		(4.31)

Under the simulation, in the three rising rate scenarios and three falling rate scenarios, interest rate risk is more asset sensitive when compared to the scenarios in the previous quarter. This change was primarily due to fluctuations in average interest earning cash balances at the Federal Reserve and lower premium money market deposit account promotional rates, partly offset by growth in those deposit account balances.

The comparison above provides insight into potential effects of changes in rates on net interest income.  The Company believes that its approach to interest rate risk has appropriately considered its susceptibility to both rising and falling rates and has adopted strategies which minimize the impact of interest rate risk.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of June 30, 2025. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter 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

The information required by this item is set forth in Part I, Item 1 under Note 17, Legal and Regulatory Proceedings.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

The section titled Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K included a discussion of the many risks and uncertainties the Company faces, any one or more of which could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial condition (including capital and liquidity), prospects, or the value of or return on an investment in the Company. The information presented below provides an update to, and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors and other information contained in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As a result of the Company entering into the Merger Agreement with FineMark, certain risk factors have been identified:

The Merger Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the Merger may not be completed.

The Merger Agreement is subject to a number of conditions which must be fulfilled in order to complete the Merger. Those conditions include, among other things: (i) adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement by FineMark’s shareholders; (ii) the receipt of required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Federal Reserve and the Missouri Division of Finance; and (iii) the absence of any law, order, injunction, decree or other law preventing or making illegal the completion of the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Each party’s obligation to complete the Merger is also subject to certain additional customary conditions, including (a) subject to applicable materiality standards, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party, (b) the performance in all material respects by the other party of its obligations under the Merger Agreement and (c) the receipt by each party of an opinion from its counsel to the effect that the Merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

These conditions to the closing of the Merger may not be fulfilled in a timely manner or at all, and, accordingly, the Merger may not be completed. In addition, the parties can mutually decide to terminate the Merger Agreement at any time, before or after the requisite FineMark shareholder approval, or the Company or FineMark may elect to terminate the Merger Agreement in certain other circumstances.

Regulatory approvals may not be received, may take longer than expected, or may impose conditions that are not presently anticipated or that could have an adverse effect on the combined company following the Merger.

Before the Merger and the Bank Merger may be completed, various approvals, consents and non-objections must be obtained from the Federal Reserve, the Missouri Division of Finance, and other regulatory authorities in the United States. In determining whether to grant these approvals, such regulatory authorities consider a variety of factors, including the regulatory standing of each party. These approvals could be delayed or not obtained at all, including due to an adverse development in either party’s regulatory standing or in any other factors considered by regulators when granting such approvals; governmental, political, or community group inquiries, investigations, or opposition; or changes in legislation or the political environment generally.

The approvals that are granted may impose terms and conditions, limitations, obligations, or costs, or place restrictions on the conduct of the combined company’s business or require changes to the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. There can be no assurance that regulators will not impose any such conditions, limitations, obligations, or restrictions and that such conditions, limitations, obligations, or restrictions will not have the effect of delaying the completion of any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, imposing additional material costs on or materially limiting the revenues of the combined company following the Merger or otherwise reducing the anticipated benefits of the Merger if the Merger was consummated successfully within the expected timeframe. In addition, there can be no assurance that any such conditions, terms, obligations, or restrictions will not result in the delay or abandonment of the Merger. Additionally, the completion of the Merger is conditioned on the absence of certain orders, injunctions or decrees by any court or regulatory agency of competent jurisdiction that would prohibit or make illegal the completion of any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Failure to complete the Merger could negatively impact the Company.

If the Merger is not completed for any reason, including as a result of FineMark’s shareholders failing to adopt and approve the Merger Agreement, there may be various adverse consequences, and the Company may experience negative reactions from the

76

financial markets and from its customers and employees. For example, the Company’s business may have been impacted adversely by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of management on the Merger, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the Merger. Also, the Company has devoted significant internal resources to the pursuit of the Merger and the expected benefit of those resource allocations would be lost if the Merger is not completed. Additionally, if the Merger Agreement is terminated, the market price of the Company’s common stock could decline to the extent that current market prices reflect a market assumption that the Merger will be beneficial and will be completed.

Combining the two companies may be more difficult, costly, or time consuming than expected and the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the Merger may not be realized.

The Company and FineMark have operated and, until the completion of the Merger, will continue to operate independently. The success of the Merger, including anticipated benefits and cost savings, will depend, in part, on the Company's ability to successfully combine and integrate the businesses of the Company and FineMark in a manner that permits growth opportunities and does not materially disrupt the existing customer relations nor result in decreased revenues due to loss of customers. It is possible that the integration process could result in the disruption of either company’s ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures, and policies that adversely affect the combined company’s ability to maintain relationships with clients, customers, depositors, and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the Merger. If the Company experiences difficulties with the integration process, the anticipated benefits of the Merger may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. Integration efforts between the two companies will also divert management attention and resources. These integration matters could have an adverse effect on each of the Company and FineMark during this transition period and for an undetermined period after completion of the Merger on the combined company. An inability to realize the full extent of the anticipated benefits of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, as well as any delays encountered in the integration process, could have an adverse effect upon the revenues, levels of expenses and operating results of the Company following the completion of the Merger, which may adversely affect the value of the common stock of the Company following the completion of the Merger.

The combined company may be unable to retain the Company and/or FineMark personnel successfully after the Merger is completed.

The success of the Merger will depend in part on the combined company’s ability to retain the talent and dedication of key employees currently employed by the Company or FineMark. It is possible that these employees may decide not to remain with the Company or FineMark, as applicable, while the Merger is pending or with the combined company after the Merger is consummated. If the Company and FineMark are unable to retain key employees, including management, who are critical to the successful integration and future operations of the companies, the Company and FineMark could face disruptions in their operations, loss of existing customers, loss of key information, expertise or know-how and unanticipated additional recruitment costs. In addition, following the Merger, if key employees terminate their employment, the combined company’s business activities may be adversely affected, and management’s attention may be diverted from successfully hiring suitable replacements, all of which may cause the combined company’s business to suffer. The Company and FineMark also may not be able to locate or retain suitable replacements for any key employees who leave either company.

The Company has incurred and is expected to incur substantial costs related to the Merger.

Both the Company and FineMark will incur substantial expenses in connection with the negotiation and completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. These costs include legal, financial advisory, accounting, consulting, and other advisory fees, retention, severance, and employee benefit-related costs, public company filing fees and other regulatory fees, financial printing and other printing costs, closing, integration and other related costs. Some of these costs are payable by the Company regardless of whether or not the Merger is completed.

The Company or FineMark or both may be subject to claims and litigation pertaining to the Merger that could prevent or delay the completion of the Merger.

Any lawsuits filed in connection with the Merger could prevent or delay completion of the Merger and result in additional costs to the Company and FineMark, including any costs associated with indemnification. The defense or settlement of any lawsuit or claim that may be filed seeking remedies against FineMark, its board of directors or the Company or its board of directors in connection with the Merger that remains unresolved at the effective time of the Merger may adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The other risk factors that could affect the Company’s financial condition or operating results remain unchanged from those previously disclosed in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
