SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2025

Operations, resource allocation and financial performance are managed by the Company's Executive Committee, or its chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable segment. See Note 22 - Segment Information for additional information.

Principles of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Central Pacific Bank owns 50% of One Hawaii HomeLoans, LLC ("One Hawaii"). One Hawaii was inactive in 2024 and 2025 and will be accounted for as a variable interest entity and consolidated into the Company's financial statements when activity begins.

The Bank has 50% ownership interests in three other mortgage loan origination and brokerage companies which are accounted for using the equity method and are included in investment in unconsolidated entities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets: Gentry HomeLoans, LLC, Haseko HomeLoans, LLC, and Island Pacific HomeLoans, LLC.

The Bank has low income housing tax credit partnership investments that are accounted for under the proportional amortization method and are included in investment in unconsolidated entities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

In 2021, the Company committed $2.0 million to the JAM FINTOP Banktech Fund, L.P., an investment fund designed to help develop and accelerate technology adoption at community banks across the United States. The Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the JAM FINTOP Banktech Fund, L.P. and the investment does not have a readily determinable fair value. As a result, the Company determined that the cost method of accounting for the investment was appropriate. The investment is included in investment in unconsolidated entities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

The Company also has other non-controlling equity investments in affiliates that are accounted for under the cost method and are included in investment in unconsolidated entities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

Investments in unconsolidated entities accounted for under the equity, proportional amortization and cost methods were $0.1 million, $58.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2025 and $0.1 million, $48.7 million and $3.6 million, respectively, at December 31, 2024.

The Company's policy for determining impairment of these investments includes an evaluation of whether a loss in value of an investment is other than temporary. Evidence of a loss in value includes absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or the inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity which would justify the carrying amount of the investment. Impairment tests are performed whenever indicators of impairment are present. If the value of an investment

declines and it is considered other than temporary, the investment is written down to its respective fair value in the period in which this determination is made.

Reclassification of Prior Period Amounts

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported total assets, total liabilities, net income, or cash flows. The changes were made to improve comparability and align with our updated financial statement presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that reflect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance and provision for credit losses, reserve for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, deferred income tax assets and income tax expense, valuation of investment securities, mortgage servicing rights and the related amortization thereon, the liability related to the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans, and the fair value of certain financial instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from financial institutions and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions. All amounts are readily convertible to cash and have maturities of three months or less.

Investment Securities

Investments in debt securities are designated as trading, available-for-sale ("AFS"), or held-to-maturity ("HTM"). Investments in debt securities are designated as HTM only if we have the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. HTM securities are reported at amortized cost in the consolidated balance sheets. Trading securities are reported at fair value, with changes in fair value included in net income. Debt securities not classified as HTM or trading are classified as AFS and are reported at fair value, with net unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable taxes, excluded from net income and included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI").

Transfers of investment securities from AFS to HTM are accounted for at fair value as of the date of the transfer. The difference between the fair value and the par value at the date of transfer is considered a premium or discount and is accounted for accordingly. Any unrealized gain or loss at the date of the transfer is reported in AOCI, and is amortized over the remaining life of the security as an adjustment of yield in a manner consistent with the amortization of any premium or discount, and will offset or mitigate the effect on interest income of the amortization of the premium or discount for that HTM security.

The Company classifies its investment securities portfolio into the following major security types: mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"), and other debt securities. The Company’s MBS portfolio is comprised primarily of residential MBS issued by United States of America ("U.S.") government entities and agencies. These securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses. The remainder of the MBS portfolio are commercial MBS issued by U.S government entities and agencies (for which there is no minimum credit rating), non-agency residential MBS (which shall meet a minimum credit rating of AAA) and non-agency commercial MBS (which shall meet a minimum credit rating of BBB and meet minimum internal credit guidelines).

The Company’s other debt securities portfolio is comprised of obligations issued by U.S. government entities and agencies, obligations issued by states and political subdivisions (which shall meet a minimum credit rating of BBB), and collateralized loan obligations (which shall meet a minimum credit rating of AA).

Interest income on investment securities includes amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. We amortize premiums to the earliest call date. We accrete discounts associated with investment securities using the effective interest method over the life of the respective security instrument. Gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.

A debt security is placed on nonaccrual status at the time any principal or interest payments become 90 days delinquent. Interest accrued but not received for a security placed on non-accrual status is reversed against current period interest income. There

were no investment securities on nonaccrual status as of December 31, 2025 and the Company did not reverse any accrued interest against interest income during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) for AFS Debt Securities

AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position are evaluated for impairment at least quarterly. For AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether or not it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the investment security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through net income.

For AFS debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In conducting this assessment for debt securities in an unrealized loss position, management evaluates the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the investment security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an ACL is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any unrealized loss that has not been recorded through an ACL is recognized in AOCI.

Changes in the ACL are recorded as a provision (credit) for credit losses. Losses are charged against the ACL when management believes the uncollectibility of an AFS debt security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.

As of December 31, 2025, the declines in market values of our AFS debt securities were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and volatility in the financial markets. Because we have no intent to sell securities in an unrealized loss position and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell such securities before recovery of its amortized cost basis, we do not believe a credit loss exists and an ACL was not recorded.

The Company has made a policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis of debt securities as the Company writes off any uncollectible accrued interest receivable in a timely manner. Accrued interest receivable on AFS and HTM debt securities is reported together with accrued interest receivable on loans and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Accrued interest receivable on AFS debt securities totaled $3.4 million and $3.6 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Accrued interest receivable on AFS debt securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

ACL on HTM Debt Securities

Management measures expected credit losses on HTM debt securities on a collective basis by major security type. For pools of such securities with common risk characteristics, the historical lifetime probability of default and severity of loss in the event of default is derived or obtained from external sources. Expected credit losses for these securities are estimated using a loss rate methodology which considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

Expected credit loss on each security in the HTM portfolio that do not share common risk characteristics with any of the pools of debt securities is individually measured based on net realizable value, or the difference between the discounted value of the expected future cash flows, based on the original effective interest rate, and the recorded amortized cost basis of the security.

Securities in the HTM portfolio are issued by or contain collateral issued by U.S. government sponsored enterprises ("GSEs") and carry implicit guarantees from the U.S. government. Due to the implicit guarantee and the long history of no credit losses, no allowance for credit losses was recorded for these securities.

Accrued interest on HTM debt securities is reported in accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

Accrued interest receivable on HTM debt securities totaled $1.0 million and $1.1 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale consist of the following two types: (1) Hawaii residential mortgage loans that are originated with the intent to sell them in the secondary market and (2) non-residential mortgage loans in both Hawaii and the U.S. Mainland that were originated with the intent to be held in our portfolio but were subsequently transferred to the held for sale category. Hawaii residential mortgage loans classified as held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value on an aggregate basis, while the non-residential Hawaii and U.S. Mainland loans are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value on an individual basis. Net fees and costs associated with originating and acquiring the Hawaii residential mortgage loans held for sale are deferred and included in the basis for determining the gain or loss on sales of loans held for sale.

Loans originated with the intent to be held in our portfolio are subsequently transferred to held for sale when our intent to hold for the foreseeable future has changed. At the time of a loan's transfer to the held for sale account, the loan is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. Any reduction in the loan's value is reflected as a write-down of the recorded investment resulting in a new cost basis, with a corresponding reduction in the allowance for credit losses.

In subsequent periods, if the fair value of a loan classified as held for sale is less than its cost basis, a valuation adjustment is recognized in our consolidated statement of income in other operating expense and the carrying value of the loan is adjusted accordingly. The valuation adjustment may be recovered in the event that the fair value increases, which is also recognized in our consolidated statement of income in other operating expense.

The fair value of loans classified as held for sale are generally based upon quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, acceptance of firm offer letters with agreed upon purchase prices, discounted cash flow models that take into account market observable assumptions, or independent appraisals of the underlying collateral securing the loans. Collateral values are determined based on appraisals received from qualified valuation professionals and are obtained periodically or when indicators that property values may be impaired are present.

We sell residential mortgage loans under industry standard contractual provisions that include certain representations and warranties, which typically cover ownership of the loan, compliance with loan criteria set forth in the applicable agreement, validity of the lien securing the loan, and other similar matters. We may be required to repurchase certain loans sold with identified defects, indemnify the investor, or reimburse the investor for any credit losses incurred. Our repurchase risk generally relates to early payment defaults and borrower fraud. We establish residential mortgage repurchase reserves to reflect this risk based on our estimate of losses after considering a combination of factors, including our estimate of future repurchase activity and our projection of estimated credit losses resulting from repurchased loans.

Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at amortized cost. Amortized cost is the unpaid principal amount outstanding, net of unamortized purchase premiums and discounts, unamortized deferred loan origination fees and costs and cumulative principal charge-offs. Purchase premiums and discounts are generally amortized into interest income over the contractual terms of the underlying loans using the effective interest method. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income over the life of the related loan as an adjustment to yield and are amortized using the interest method over the contractual term of the loan, adjusted for actual prepayments. Deferred loan fees and costs on loans paid in full are recognized as a component of interest income on loans.

Interest income on loans is accrued at the contractual rate of interest on the unpaid principal balance. Accrued interest receivable on loans totaled $18.3 million and $17.5 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and is reported together with accrued interest on investment securities on the consolidated balance sheets. Upon adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” the Company made the accounting policy election to not measure an estimate of credit losses on accrued interest receivable as the Company writes off any uncollectible accrued interest receivable in a timely manner.

Nonaccrual Loans

The Company determines delinquency status by considering the number of days full payments required by the contractual terms of the loan are past due. Commercial, scored small business, automobile and other consumer loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when principal and/or interest payments are 90 days past due, or earlier should management determine that the borrowers will be unable to meet contractual principal and/or interest obligations, unless the loans are well-secured and in the process of collection. Residential mortgage and home equity loans, are generally placed on nonaccrual status when principal

and/or interest payments are 120 days past due, or earlier should management determine that the borrowers will be unable to meet contractual principal and/or interest obligations, unless the loans are well-secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income should management determine that the collectability of such accrued interest is doubtful. All subsequent receipts are applied to principal outstanding and no interest income is recognized unless the financial condition and payment record of the borrowers warrant such recognition and the loan is restored to accrual status. A nonaccrual loan may be restored to an accrual basis when principal and interest payments are current for a predetermined period, normally at least six months, and full payment of principal and interest is reasonably assured.

Loan Modifications for Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures", under the prospective transition method.

Effective as of the adoption date, loan modifications or restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are evaluated to determine whether they result in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. Loan restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are generally accounted for as a continuation of the existing loan as the terms of the restructured loans are typically not at market rates.

When a loan is restructured under ASU 2022-02, the loan is measured for impairment using the discounted cash flow method that utilizes a prepayment-adjusted discount rate based on the loan’s restructured terms. Under the previous troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") accounting model, the discount rate that was in effect prior to the restructuring to measure impairment was used. Using the interest rate that was in effect prior to the restructuring resulted in the recognition of the economic concession that was granted to borrowers as part of the loan restructuring in the ACL on loans. Using a post-restructuring interest rate does not result in the recognition of an economic concession in the ACL on loans.

As we have elected a prospective transition, the economic concession on a loan that was previously restructured and accounted for as a TDR under previous guidance will continue to be measured in our ACL on loans using the discount rate that was in effect prior to the restructuring and the economic concession may increase or decrease as the cash flow assumptions related to the expected life of the loan are updated. Further, the component of the ACL on loans representing economic concessions will decrease as the borrower makes payments in accordance with the restructured terms of the mortgage loan and as the loan is sold, liquidated, or subsequently restructured.

Troubled Debt Restructurings Prior to the Adoption of ASU 2022-02

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02, a loan was accounted for and reported as a TDR when two conditions were met: 1) the borrower was experiencing financial difficulty and 2) the Company granted a concession to the borrower experiencing financial difficulty that it would not have otherwise considered for a borrower or transaction with similar credit risk characteristics. A restructuring that resulted in only an insignificant delay in payment was not considered a concession. A delay may have been considered insignificant if the payments subject to the delay were insignificant relative to the unpaid principal or collateral value and the contractual amount due, or the delay in timing of the restructured payment period was insignificant relative to the frequency of payments, the debt’s original contractual maturity or original expected duration.

TDRs that were performing and on accrual status as of the date of the modification remained on accrual status. TDRs that were nonperforming as of the date of modification generally remained as nonaccrual until the prospect of future payments in accordance with the modified loan agreement was reasonably assured, generally demonstrated when the borrower maintained compliance with the restructured terms for a predetermined period, normally at least six months. TDRs with temporary below-market concessions remained designated as a TDR regardless of the accrual or performance status until the loan was paid off.

Expected credit losses were estimated on a collective (pool) basis when they shared similar risk characteristics. If a TDR financial asset shared similar risk characteristics with other financial assets, it was evaluated with those other financial assets on a collective basis. If it did not share similar risk characteristics with other financial assets, it was evaluated individually. The Company’s ACL reflected all effects of a TDR when an individual asset was specifically identified as a reasonably expected TDR. The Company had determined that a TDR was reasonably expected no later than the point when the lender concluded that modification was the best course of action and it was at least reasonably possible that the troubled borrower would accept some form of concession from the lender to avoid a default. Reasonably expected TDRs and executed TDRs were evaluated to determine the required ACL using the same method as all other loans held for investment, except when the value of a concession could not be measured using a method other than the discounted cash flow method. When the value of a concession was measured using the discounted cash flow method, the ACL was determined by discounting the expected future cash flows

at the original interest rate of the loan. Based on the underlying risk characteristics, TDRs performing in accordance with their modified contractual terms may have been collectively evaluated.

Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

The ACL on loans is a valuation account deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected. The Company's policy is to charge off loans against the ACL in the period they are deemed uncollectible. Any previously accrued but uncollected interest, is reversed against current period interest income. Subsequent receipts, if any, are applied first to the remaining principal, then to the ACL on loans as recoveries, and finally to interest income.

The ACL on loans represents management's estimate of expected credit losses over the life of the Company's loan portfolio as of a given balance sheet date. Management estimates the ACL balance using relevant internal and external information, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. When future forecasts are no longer supportable, management reverts to historical loss data.

The Company's ACL model incorporates a one-year reasonable and supportable forecast period and reverts to historical loss data on a straight-line basis over one year when its forecast is no longer deemed reasonable and supportable. Historical loss experience provides the basis for the Company’s expected credit loss estimate. Adjustments to historical loss data may be made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics, such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, or when historical asset terms do not reflect the contractual terms of the financial assets being evaluated.

The Company's ACL model may also consider other adjustments to address changes in conditions, trends, and circumstances such as local industry changes that could have a significant impact on the risk profile of the loan portfolio and provide for adjustments that may not be reflected or captured in the historical loss data. These factors include: lending policies and practices, imprecision in forecasting future economic conditions, loan profile, lending staff, problem loan trends, loan review, collateral values, credit concentrations, or other internal and external factors.

The Company uses Moody’s Analytics ("Moody’s"), a firm widely recognized and used for its research, analysis, and economic forecasts, for its economic forecast assumptions. The Company generally uses Moody’s most recent Baseline forecast, which is updated at least monthly with a variety of upside and downside economic scenarios and includes both National and Hawaii-specific economic indicators. In addition, the Company uses a qualitative factor for forecast imprecision to account for economic and market volatility or instability.

The ACL on loans is measured on a collective basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company segments its portfolio generally by the loan classes in the FFIEC Call Report. The following is a description and the risk characteristics of each loan segment:

Commercial and industrial loans

Commercial and industrial loans consist primarily of term loans and lines of credit to small- and middle-market businesses and professionals. The predominant risk characteristics of this segment are the cash flows of the business we lend to, global cash flows including guarantor liquidity, as well as economic and market conditions. Although our underwriting policy and practice generally requires secondary sources of support or collateral to mitigate risk, cash flow generated from the borrower’s business is typically regarded as the principal source of repayment.

Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program ("SBA PPP") loans, which are included in the commercial and industrial loan segment, are guaranteed by the SBA and may be forgivable in whole or in part in accordance with the requirements of the PPP. As a result, we anticipated zero losses on these loans and accordingly applied a Zero Loss methodology from the third quarter of 2023 through the first quarter of 2025. During second quarter of 2025, the Company updated its ACL model to measure expected credit losses on SBA PPP loans consistent with other commercial and industrial loans using the DCF methodology. The impact of this update was immaterial.

Construction loans

Construction loans include both residential and commercial development projects. Each construction project is evaluated for economic viability and construction loans pose higher credit risks than typical secured loans. The predominant risk

characteristics of this segment are the financial strength of the borrower, project completion risk (the risk that the project will not be completed on time and within budget), and geographic location.

Commercial real estate loans - Multi-family

Multi-family mortgage loans can comprise multi-building properties with extensive amenities or a single building with no amenities. The predominant risk characteristic of this segment is operating risk or the ability to generate sufficient rental income from the operation of the property.

Commercial real estate loans - Others

Commercial real estate loans are secured by commercial properties. The predominant risk characteristic of this segment is operating risk, which is the risk that the borrower will be unable to generate sufficient cash flows from the operation of the property. Interest rate conditions and the commercial real estate market through economic cycles also impact risk levels.

Residential mortgage loans

Residential mortgage loans primarily include fixed-rate or adjustable-rate loans secured by single-family owner-occupied primary residences in Hawaii. Economic conditions such as unemployment levels, future changes in interest rates, Hawaii home prices and other market factors impact the level of credit risk inherent in the portfolio.

Home equity lines of credit

Home equity lines of credit include fixed or floating interest rate loans and are also primarily secured by single-family owner-occupied primary residences in Hawaii. They are underwritten based on a minimum FICO score, maximum debt-to-income ratio, and maximum combined loan-to-value ratio. Home equity lines of credit are monitored based on credit score changes, delinquency, and draw period maturity.

Consumer loans

Consumer loans consist of unsecured consumer lines of credit and non-revolving (term) consumer loans, including automobile loans. The predominant risk characteristics of this segment relate to current and projected economic conditions, as well as employment, and income levels attributed to the borrower.

During second quarter of 2025, the Company updated its ACL model to combine revolving and non-revolving consumer loans under the Discounted Cash Flow ("DCF") methodology due to immateriality of the revolving loan portfolio. The impact of this update was immaterial.

Purchased consumer loans

Purchased consumer loans consist of dealer and unsecured consumer loans. The predominant risk characteristics of this segment include current and projected economic conditions, employment and income levels, and the quality of purchased consumer loans.

The following table presents the Company's loan portfolio segments and the methodology used to measure expected credit losses.

WARM

The Company utilizes the DCF methodology for all segments, except for purchased consumer loans as management believes the DCF methodology provides better alignment with the Current Expected Credit Losses ("CECL") standard by incorporating more granular assumptions and forward-looking forecasts.

The DCF analysis is performed using an industry leading software platform and leverages historical data. The Company uses the Moody's baseline forecast, which includes a one-year economic forecast period, followed by a one-year, straight-line reversion to the historical averages of the macroeconomic variables used. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company updated its forecast models to incorporate post-COVID-19 pandemic data, while continuing to exclude periods impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic period due to abnormal and volatile behavior.

For purchased consumer loans, the Company applies the Remaining Life methodology, also known as the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity or ("WARM") methodology, due to the pooled nature of this portfolio.

The following is a description of the methodologies utilized to measure expected credit losses:

Discounted Cash Flow

The DCF methodology estimates CECL reserves as the difference between the amortized cost of a loan and the present value of expected future cash flows. Expected future cash flows are projected based on assumptions of Probability of Default/Loss Given Default ("PD/LGD"), prepayments, and recovery rates. The expected cash flows are discounted using the loan’s effective interest rate.

Remaining Life or Weighted Average Remaining Maturity

Under the Remaining Life or WARM methodology, lifetime expected credit losses are calculated by applying a historical loss rate over this remaining life of the loan pool. The remaining life is adjusted for expected prepayments. This method is used for pooled portfolios where individual loan-level modeling is not practical.

Reserve for Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposure

Reserve for Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures

The Company maintains a separate and distinct reserve for off-balance-sheet credit exposures which is included in other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company estimates the amount of expected losses by calculating a commitment usage factor for letters of credit, non-revolving lines of credit, and revolving lines of credit over the remaining life during which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit.

Letters of credit are generally unlikely to advance since they are typically in place only to ensure various forms of performance of the borrowers. Many of the letters of credit are cash secured. Non-revolving lines of credit are determined to be likely to advance as these are typically construction lines. Meanwhile, the likelihood of revolving lines of credit advancing varies with each individual borrower. Therefore, the future usage of each line was estimated based on the average line utilization of the revolving line of credit portfolio as a whole.

The estimate also applies the loss factors for each loan type used in the ACL on loans methodology, which is based on historical losses, economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for off-balance sheet credit exposures.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are included in other operating expense and are computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the applicable leases. Useful lives generally range from five to thirty-nine years for premises and improvements, and one to seven years for equipment. Major improvements and betterments are capitalized, while recurring maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expense. Net gains or losses on dispositions of premises and equipment are included in other operating income and operating expense.

Other Real Estate

Other Real Estate Owned

Other real estate owned is composed of properties acquired through deed-in-lieu or foreclosure proceedings and is initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell the property, thereby establishing the new cost basis of other real estate. Losses arising at the time of acquisition of such properties are charged against the ACL. Subsequent to acquisition, such properties are

carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling expenses, determined on an individual asset basis. Any deficiency resulting from the excess of cost over fair value less estimated selling expenses is recognized as a valuation allowance. Any subsequent increase in fair value up to its cost basis is recorded as a reduction of the valuation allowance. Increases or decreases in the valuation allowance are included in other operating expense. Net gains or losses recognized on the sale of these properties are included in other operating income.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Mortgage servicing rights are recorded when loans are sold to third-parties with servicing of those loans retained and we classify and pool our mortgage servicing rights into buckets of homogeneous characteristics. We utilize the amortization method to measure our mortgage servicing rights. Under the amortization method, we amortize our mortgage servicing rights in proportion to and over the period of net servicing income. Income generated as the result of new mortgage servicing rights is reported as gains on sales of loans and is a component of mortgage banking income in the other operating income section of our consolidated statements of income. Amortization of the servicing rights is also reported as a component of mortgage banking income. Ancillary income is recorded in other income.

Initial fair value of the servicing right is calculated by a discounted cash flow model prepared by a third-party service provider based on market value assumptions at the time of origination and we assess the servicing right for impairment using current market value assumptions at each reporting period. Critical assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model include mortgage prepayment speeds, discount rates, and servicing income and costs. Variations in our assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair values. Changes to our assumptions are made when current trends and market data indicate that new trends have developed. Current market value assumptions based on loan product types (fixed-rate, adjustable-rate, government FHA, and VA loans) include average discount rates, servicing cost and ancillary income. Many of these assumptions are subjective and require a high level of management judgment. Our mortgage servicing rights portfolio and valuation assumptions are periodically reviewed by management.

Prepayment speeds may be affected by economic factors such as home price appreciation, market interest rates, the availability of other credit products to our borrowers and customer payment patterns. Prepayment speeds include the impact of all borrower prepayments, including full payoffs, additional principal payments and the impact of loans paid off due to foreclosure liquidations.

We perform an impairment assessment of our mortgage servicing rights quarterly or whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. Our impairment assessments involve, among other valuation methods, the estimation of future cash flows and other methods of determining fair value. Estimating future cash flows and determining fair values are subject to judgments and often involve the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The variability of the factors we use to perform our impairment tests depend on a number of conditions, including the uncertainty about future events and cash flows. All such factors are interdependent and, therefore, do not change in isolation. Accordingly, our accounting estimates may materially change from period to period due to changing market factors.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company determined its mortgage servicing rights were not impaired.

Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines Stock

Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines Stock

The Bank is a member of its regional Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB"). FRB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.

The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (the "FHLB") system. Members are required to own a certain number of shares of capital stock of the FHLB based on the level of borrowings and other factors and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.

Share Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing expense model to determine the fair-value of stock options, and the market price of the Company's common stock at the grant date for restricted stock awards. Share-based compensation is recognized as expense over the employee's requisite service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, we recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over their respective vesting period. The Company's accounting policy is to recognize forfeitures as they occur. See Note 13 - Share-Based Compensation for additional information.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. A valuation allowance may be required if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary, we consider the level of taxable income in prior years, the extent that carrybacks are permitted under current tax laws, as well as estimates of future taxable income and tax planning strategies that could be implemented to accelerate taxable income, if necessary. If our estimates of future taxable income were materially overstated or if our assumptions regarding the tax consequences of tax planning strategies were inaccurate, some or all of our deferred tax assets may not be realized, which would result in a charge to earnings. Net deferred tax assets (liabilities) are included in other assets (liabilities) in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in other expense.

We may establish income tax contingency reserves for potential tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions. Tax benefits are recognized when we determine that it is more likely than not that such benefits will be realized. Where uncertainty exists due to the complexity of income tax statutes, and where the potential tax amounts are significant, we generally seek independent tax opinions to support our positions. If our evaluation of the likelihood of the realization of benefits is inaccurate, we could incur additional income tax and interest expense that would adversely impact earnings, or we could receive tax benefits greater than anticipated which would positively impact earnings. As of December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any material uncertain tax positions.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding unvested restricted stock awards. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, increased by the dilutive effect of stock options and stock awards.

Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts

We are periodically a party to a limited amount of forward foreign exchange contracts to satisfy customer needs for foreign currencies. These contracts are not utilized for trading purposes and are carried at market value, with realized gains and losses included in fees on foreign exchange.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

We recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. On the date that we enter into a derivative contract, we designate the derivative as (1) a hedge of the fair value of an identified asset or liability ("fair value hedge"), (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to an identified asset or liability ("cash flow hedge") or (3) a transaction not qualifying for hedge accounting ("free standing derivative"). For a fair value hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative and, to the extent that it is effective, changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability, attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in current period net income in the same financial statement category as the hedged item. For a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative, to the extent that it is effective, is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI"). These changes in fair value are subsequently reclassified to net income in the same periods that the hedged transaction affects net income in the same financial statement category as the hedged item. For free standing derivatives, changes in fair values are reported in current period other operating income.

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023 And Impact of Other Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements on Future Filings

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2025

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company adopted ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740)," which expands existing income tax disclosures for rate reconciliations and adds information on tax payments and refunds by jurisdiction. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2025 on a retrospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 16 - Income Taxes for more information.

Impact of Other Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements on Future Filings

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses". ASU 2024-03 requires public entities to disclose, in the notes to the financial statements, disaggregated information about specified categories of expenses included within income statement line items. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets," which introduces a practical expedient for current accounts receivable and contract assets under ASC Topic 606. The practical expedient, if elected, allows entities to assume that current economic conditions at the reporting date remain unchanged over the related asset’s remaining life. The amendments, which are to be applied prospectively, are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements from adopting ASU 2025-05 during the first quarter of 2026.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software," which clarifies and modernizes the guidance for costs related to internal-use software. The amendments remove references to project stages and clarify the capitalization threshold for software development costs. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract." The ASU introduces a scope exception from derivative accounting for certain non-exchange-traded contracts with underlyings based on the operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract, such as ESG-linked metrics or litigation funding arrangements. Additionally, the ASU clarifies that share-based noncash consideration received from a customer for the transfer of goods or services should initially be accounted for under Topic 606, with other guidance (e.g., Topic 815 or Topic 321) applied only when the right to receive or retain such consideration becomes unconditional. ASU 2025-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Entities may apply the guidance prospectively to new contracts or on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings in the year of adoption. The Company does not expect a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements from adopting ASU 2025-07 during the first quarter of 2027.

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑08, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans", which introduces the concept of purchased seasoned loans ("PSLs") and requires entities to apply the gross‑up approach to PSLs at acquisition (i.e., recognize an allowance for expected credit losses as an adjustment to the loan’s amortized cost basis rather than through Day 1 earnings). This change eliminates the historical Day 1 "double count" of expected credit losses for many acquired loans and is expected to improve comparability and better align accounting with acquisition economics, including in business combinations. Under ASU 2025-08, loans (excluding credit cards, debt securities, and trade receivables) are PSLs if (i) acquired in a business combination, or (ii) obtained more than 90 days after origination and the acquirer was not involved in origination. Existing accounting for purchased credit‑deteriorated ("PCD") assets is unchanged. ASU 2025-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted, and is to be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)", which simplifies hedge accounting by (i) permitting aggregation of forecasted transactions with similar risk exposure, (ii), enabling hedge accounting for “choose-your-rate” debt interest payments, (iii) permitting hedging of variable price components that are clearly and closely related to the nonfinancial forecasted asset being purchased or sold, (iv) expanding the use of net written options as hedging instruments, and (v) eliminating the recognition and presentation mismatch for a dual hedge strategy. ASU 2025-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted, and is to be applied on a prospective basis. The Company does not expect ASU 2025-09 to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, "Interim Reporting (Topic 270)", which clarifies and reorganizes ASC 270 by improving navigability, specifying required interim disclosures, clarifying which entities the guidance applies to, and introducing a principle to disclose material events occurring since the last annual period. The update is effective for interim reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with both prospective and retrospective adoption permitted, and to be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments can be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company does not expect ASU 2025-11 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued 2025-12, “Codification Improvements”, which includes clarifications, error corrections, and other minor revisions intended to enhance the understandability and application of the Codification. The update is effective for annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect ASU 2025-12 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue

Revenue Recognition

ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity's contracts to provide goods or services to its customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.

The Company recognizes revenues as they are earned based on contractual terms, as transactions occur, or as services are provided and collectability is reasonably assured. Our principal source of revenue is derived from interest income on financial instruments, such as our loan and investment securities portfolios, as well as revenue related to our mortgage banking activities. These revenue-generating transactions are out of scope of ASC 606, but are subject to other GAAP and discussed elsewhere within our disclosures.

The Company also generates other revenue in connection with our broad range of banking products and financial services. Descriptions of our other revenue-generating activities that are within the scope of ASC 606, which are presented in the Company's consolidated statements of income as components of other operating income are as follows:

Mortgage banking income

Loan placement fees, included in mortgage banking income, primarily represent revenues earned by the Company for loan placement and underwriting. Revenues for these services are recorded at a point-in-time, upon completion of a contractually identified transaction, or when an advisory opinion is provided.

Service charges on deposit accounts

Revenue from service charges on deposit accounts includes general service fees for monthly account maintenance and activity- or transaction-based fees and consist of transaction-based revenue, time-based revenue (service period), item-based revenue or some other individual attribute-based revenue. Revenue is recognized when our performance obligation is completed, which is generally monthly for account maintenance services or when a transaction has been completed (such as stop payment fees). Payment for such performance obligations are generally received at the time the performance obligations are satisfied.

Other Service Charges and Fees

Revenue from other service charges and fees includes fees on foreign exchange, cards and payments income, safe deposit rental income and other service charges, commissions and fees.

The Company provides foreign currency exchange services to customers, whereby cash can be converted to different foreign currencies, and vice versa. As a result of the services, a gain or loss is recognized on foreign currency transactions, as well as income related to commissions and fees earned on each transaction. Revenue from the commissions and fees earned on the transactions fall within the scope of ASC 606, and is recorded in a manner that reflects the timing of when transactions occur, and as services are provided. Realized and unrealized gains or losses related to foreign currency are out of scope of ASC 606.

Cards and payments income includes interchange fees from debit cards processed through card association networks, merchant services, and other card related services. Interchange rates are generally set by the credit card associations and based on purchase volumes and other factors. Interchange fees are recognized as transactions occur. Interchange expenses related to cards and payments income are presented gross in other operating expense. Merchant services income represents account management fees and transaction fees charged to merchants for the processing of card association network transactions. Merchant services revenue is recognized as transactions occur, or as services are performed.

Other service charges, commissions and fees include automated teller machines ("ATM") surcharge and interchange fees, bill payment fees, cashier’s check and money order fees, wire transfer fees, loan brokerage fees, and commissions on sales of insurance, broker-dealer products, and letters of credit. Revenue from these fees and commissions is recorded in a manner that reflects the timing of when transactions occur, and as services are provided.

Based on the nature of the commission agreement with the broker-dealer and each insurance provider, we may recognize revenue from broker-dealer and insurance commissions over time or at a point-in-time as our performance obligation is satisfied.

Income from Fiduciary Activities

Income from fiduciary activities includes fees from wealth management, trust, custodial and escrow services provided to individual and institutional customers. Revenue is generally recognized monthly based on a minimum annual fee and/or the market value of assets in custody. Additional fees are recognized for transactional activity.

Revenue from trade execution and brokerage services is earned through commissions from trade execution on behalf of clients. Revenue from these transactions is recognized at the trade date. Any ongoing service fees are recognized on a monthly basis as services are performed.

Net Gain (Loss) on Sales of Foreclosed Assets

The Company records a gain or loss on the sale of a foreclosed property when control of the property transfers to the Company, which typically occurs at the time the deed is executed. The Company does not finance the sale of the foreclosed property.
