Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

net interest margin financial
"Our net interest margin for the first quarter of 2026 was 4.24%"
Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.
allowance for credit losses financial
"the allowance for credit losses for loans HFI totaled $ 31.0 million"
Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.
nonperforming assets financial
"Nonperforming Assets (“NPAs”) 12,965 10,531 10,026"
Nonperforming assets are loans or investments that are not generating expected payments or returns because the borrower has fallen behind on payments or the investment has lost value. They matter to investors because a high level of nonperforming assets can indicate financial trouble for a bank or institution, potentially affecting its stability and profitability.
mortgage servicing rights financial
"Activity in the capitalized mortgage servicing rights was as follows"
Mortgage servicing rights are the contractual right to collect mortgage payments, manage escrow accounts, handle customer service and delinquency actions on a pool of home loans, in exchange for a portion of the loan’s payments. They matter to investors because their value behaves like a revenue stream that can rise or fall with interest rates and borrower behavior — similar to owning a toll bridge where income depends on traffic volume and maintenance costs — and thus affect a lender’s earnings and risk profile.
tangible common equity ratio financial
"Tangible Common Equity Ratio (non-GAAP) A/B 10.79%"
Tangible common equity ratio measures how much real, loss-absorbing capital common shareholders have relative to a company's tangible assets—calculated by removing intangible items (like goodwill) and preferred equity from total equity and comparing that net amount to tangible assets. Think of it as the thickness of a safety cushion made of solid, visible value rather than accounting entries; investors use it to judge how well a company could withstand losses and protect common shareholders' claims.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 –
BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Operations
. Capital City Bank Group, Inc. (“CCBG” or the “Company”) provides a full range of banking and banking-
related services to individual and corporate clients through its wholly owned subsidiary, Capital City Bank (“CCB” or the “Bank”),
with banking offices located in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. The Company is subject to competition from other financial
institutions, is subject to regulation by certain government agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory
authorities.
Basis of Presentation
. The consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include the accounts of CCBG
and CCB. All material inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Certain previously reported amounts have
been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.
The Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition at December 31, 2025 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial
statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company’s 2025 Form 10-K.
Accounting Standards Updates
Proposed Accounting Standards
,
ASU No. 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s
Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative.”
Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2023-06 is intended to clarify or improve
disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of topics, which will allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the
SEC’s existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements and align the requirements in the
FASB accounting standard codification with the SEC’s regulations. ASU 2023-06 is to be applied prospectively, and early adoption is
prohibited. For reporting entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosure requirements, the effective dates of ASU 2023-06 will be the
date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. If
by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending content
of the related amendment will not become effective for any entities. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the
amendments and the impact on its future consolidated statements.
ASU No. 2023-03, “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-
40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.”
ASU 2024-03 introduces new requirements to disclose additional information
about certain types of expenses, including employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and selling expenses.
ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the incremental
disclosures that will be required under the standard.
ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other -Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the
Accounting for Internal-Use Software.”
The ASU updates accounting for internal-use software by shifting from a stage-based model
to a principles-based approach aligned with modern development. Key provisions include new capitalization criteria based on
authorization, funding commitment, and probable completion, removal of development stages, integrated website guidance, and
enhanced disclosures. ASU 2025-06 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the
provisions of the amendments and the impact on its future consolidated statements and disclosures.
ASU 2025-08, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans.”
The ASU updates the accounting for
purchased loans under ASC 326. The amendments expand the population of loans subject to the “gross-up” accounting model by
eliminating the former distinction between purchased credit -deteriorated (“PCD”) and non-PCD loans. Under the new guidance,
entities will apply a single model for purchased loans by recognizing an allowance for credit losses and adjusting the amortized cost
basis for the associated noncredit discount at acquisition. ASU 2025 -08 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2027. The
Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the amendments and the impact on its future consolidated statements and
disclosures.
11
ASU 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements.”
The ASU aims to clarify and enhance interim financial
reporting by defining its scope, consolidating GAAP disclosures in Topic 270, adding a principle for material post-year-end event
disclosure, and refining statement format guidance to improve consistency for all preparers. These changes do not alter the
fundamental requirements of interim reporting but seek to streamline and standardize the process. ASU 2025-11 is effective for
interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the amendments
and the impact on its future consolidated statements.
ASU 2025-12, “Codification Improvements .”
generally streamline the Accounting Standards Codification across various topics, affecting most reporting entities, with key changes
including clarifications for diluted EPS during losses, lease receivable disclosures, beneficial interest calculations, and treasury stock
accounting, aiming for better usability without significantly altering core accounting outcomes. The Company is currently evaluating
the provisions of the amendments and the impact on its future consolidated statements. ASU 2025-12 is effective for the Company as
of January 1, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the amendments and the impact on its future consolidated
statements.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Company monitors the credit quality of its investment securities through various risk management procedures, including the
monitoring of credit ratings. A majority of the debt securities in the Company’s investment portfolio were issued by a U.S.
government entity or agency and are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government. The Company believes the
long history of no credit losses on these securities indicates that the expectation of nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is
effectively zero, even if the U.S. government were to technically default. Further, certain municipal securities held by the Company
have been pre-refunded and secured by government guaranteed treasuries. Therefore, for the aforementioned securities, the Company
does
t assess or record expected credit losses due to the zero loss assumption. The Company monitors the credit quality of its
municipal and corporate securities portfolio via credit ratings which are updated on a quarterly basis. On a quarterly basis, municipal
and corporate securities in an unrealized loss position are evaluated to determine if the loss is attributable to credit related factors and
if an allowance for credit loss is needed.

The Company has pledged a blanket floating lien on all 1-4 family residential mortgage loans, commercial real estate mortgage loans,
and home equity loans to support available borrowing capacity at the FHLB of Atlanta and has pledged a blanket floating lien on all
consumer loans, commercial loans, and construction loans to support available borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank of
Atlanta.

Allowance for Credit Losses
. The methodology for estimating the amount of credit losses reported in the allowance for credit losses
(“ACL”) has two basic components: first, an asset-specific component involving loans that do not share risk characteristics and the
measurement of expected credit losses for such individual loans; and second, a pooled component for expected credit losses for pools
of loans that share similar risk characteristics. This allowance methodology is discussed further in Note 1 – Significant Accounting
Policies in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K.
The following table details the activity in the allowance for credit losses by portfolio segment. Allocation of a portion of the
allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories.

A loan is collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment of the loan is dependent on the
sale or operation of the underlying collateral.
The Bank’s collateral dependent loan portfolio is comprised primarily of real estate secured loans, collateralized by either residential
or commercial collateral types. The loans are carried at fair value based on current values determined by either independent appraisals
or internal evaluations, adjusted for selling costs or other amounts to be deducted when estimating expected net sales proceeds.
Residential Real Estate Loans In Process of Foreclosure
. At March 31, 2026, the Company had $
real estate loans for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process, compared to $
Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty.
Occasionally, the Company may modify loans to borrowers who are
experiencing financial difficulty. Loan modifications to borrowers in financial difficulty are loans in which the Company has granted
an economic concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. In these instances, as part of a work-out alternative, the
Company will make concessions including the extension of the loan term, a principal moratorium, a reduction in the interest rate, or a
combination thereof. The impact of the modifications and defaults are factored into the allowance for credit losses on a loan-by-loan
basis. Thus, specific reserves are established based upon the results of either a discounted cash flow analysis or the underlying
collateral value, if the loan is deemed to be collateral dependent. A modified loan classification can be removed if the borrower’s
financial condition improves such that the borrower is no longer in financial difficulty, the loan has not had any forgiveness of
principal or interest, and the loan is subsequently refinanced or restructured at market terms and qualifies as a new loan.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company did
t modify any loans to borrowers experiencing financial
difficulty.
The Company closely monitors the performance of loans modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to evaluate the
effectiveness of its modification strategies. At March 31, 2026, the amortized cost basis of loans modified during the preceding twelve
months was $
2025.
Credit Risk Management
. The Company has adopted comprehensive lending policies, underwriting standards and loan review
procedures designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. Management and the Board of Directors review and
approve these policies and procedures on a regular basis (at least annually).
Reporting systems are used to monitor loan originations, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming
loans and potential problem loans. Management and the Credit Risk Oversight Committee periodically review the Company’s lines
of business to monitor asset quality trends and the appropriateness of credit policies. In addition, total borrower exposure limits are
established and concentration risk is monitored. As part of this process, the overall composition of the portfolio is reviewed to gauge
diversification of risk, client concentrations, industry group, loan type, geographic area, or other relevant classifications of loans.
Specific segments of the loan portfolio are monitored and reported to the Board on a quarterly basis and have strategic plans in place
to supplement Board approved credit policies governing exposure limits and underwriting standards. Detailed below are the types of
loans within the Company’s loan portfolio and risk characteristics unique to each.
20
Commercial, Financial, and Agricultural – Loans in this category are primarily made based on identified cash flows of the borrower
with consideration given to underlying collateral and personal or other guarantees. Lending policy establishes debt service coverage
ratio limits that require a borrower’s cash flow to be sufficient to cover principal and interest payments on all new and existing debt.
The majority of these loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable, inventory, or
equipment. Collateral values are determined based upon third party appraisals and evaluations. Loan to value ratios at origination are
governed by established policy guidelines.
Real Estate Construction – Loans in this category consist of short-term construction loans, revolving and non-revolving credit lines
and construction/permanent loans made to individuals and investors to finance the acquisition, development, construction or
rehabilitation of real property. These loans are primarily made based on identified cash flows of the borrower or project and generally
secured by the property being financed, including 1-4 family residential properties and commercial properties that are either owner-
occupied or investment in nature. These properties may include either vacant or improved property. Construction loans are generally
based upon estimates of costs and value associated with the completed project. Collateral values are determined based upon third
party appraisals and evaluations. Loan to value ratios at origination are governed by established policy guidelines. The disbursement
of funds for construction loans is made in relation to the progress of the project and as such these loans are closely monitored by on-
site inspections.
Real Estate Commercial Mortgage – Loans in this category consists of commercial mortgage loans secured by property that is either
owner-occupied or investment in nature. These loans are primarily made based on identified cash flows of the borrower or project
with consideration given to underlying real estate collateral and personal guarantees. Lending policy establishes debt service
coverage ratios and loan to value ratios specific to the property type. Collateral values are determined based upon third party
appraisals and evaluations.
Real Estate Residential – Residential mortgage loans held in the Company’s loan portfolio are made to borrowers that demonstrate the
ability to make scheduled payments with full consideration to underwriting factors such as current income, employment status, current
assets, and other financial resources, credit history, and the value of the collateral. Collateral consists of mortgage liens on 1-4 family
residential properties. Collateral values are determined based upon third party appraisals and evaluations. The Company does not
originate sub-prime loans.
Real Estate Home Equity – Home equity loans and lines are made to qualified individuals for legitimate purposes generally secured
by senior or junior mortgage liens on owner-occupied 1-4 family homes or vacation homes. Borrower qualifications include
favorable credit history combined with supportive income and debt ratio requirements and combined loan to value ratios within
established policy guidelines. Collateral values are determined based upon third party appraisals and evaluations.
Consumer Loans – This loan portfolio includes personal installment loans, direct and indirect automobile financing, and overdraft
lines of credit. The majority of the consumer loan category consists of direct and indirect automobile loans. Lending policy
establishes maximum debt to income ratios, minimum credit scores, and includes guidelines for verification of applicants’ income and
receipt of credit reports.
Credit Quality Indicators
. As part of the ongoing monitoring of the Company’s loan portfolio quality, management categorizes loans
into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial
information, historical payment performance, credit documentation, and current economic and market trends, among other
factors. Risk ratings are assigned to each loan and revised as needed through established monitoring procedures for individual loan
relationships over a predetermined amount and review of smaller balance homogenous loan pools. The Company uses the definitions
noted below for categorizing and managing its criticized loans. Loans categorized as “Pass” do not meet the criteria set forth below
and are not considered criticized.
Special Mention – Loans in this category are presently protected from loss, but weaknesses are apparent which, if not corrected, could
cause future problems. Loans in this category may not meet required underwriting criteria and have no mitigating factors. More than
the ordinary amount of attention is warranted for these loans.
Substandard – Loans in this category exhibit well-defined weaknesses that would typically bring normal repayment into jeopardy.
These loans are no longer adequately protected due to well-defined weaknesses that affect the repayment capacity of the
borrower. The possibility of loss is much more evident and above average supervision is required for these loans.
21
Doubtful – Loans in this category have all the weaknesses inherent in a loan categorized as Substandard, with the characteristic that
the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly
questionable and improbable.
Performing/Nonperforming – Loans within certain homogenous loan pools (home equity and consumer) are not individually reviewed,
but are monitored for credit quality via the aging status of the loan and by payment activity. The performing or nonperforming status
is updated on an on-going basis dependent upon improvement and deterioration in credit quality.
The following tables summarize gross loans held for investment at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and current period gross
write-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 12 months ended December 31, 2025 by years of origination and internally
assigned credit risk ratings (refer to Credit Risk Management section for detail on risk rating system).

NOTE 4 – MORTGAGE BANKING ACTIVITIES
The Company’s mortgage banking activities include mandatory delivery loan sales, forward sales contracts used to manage residential
loan pipeline price risk, utilization of warehouse lines to fund secondary market residential loan closings, and residential mortgage
servicing.
Residential Mortgage Loan Production
The Company originates, markets, and services conventional and government-sponsored residential mortgage loans. Generally,
conforming fixed rate residential mortgage loans are held for sale in the secondary market and non-conforming and adjustable-rate
residential mortgage loans may be held for investment. The volume of residential mortgage loans originated for sale and secondary
market prices are the primary drivers of origination revenue.
Residential mortgage loan commitments are generally outstanding for 30 to 90 days, which represents the typical period from
commitment to originate a residential mortgage loan to when the closed loan is sold to an investor. Residential mortgage loan
commitments are subject to both credit and price risk. Credit risk is managed through underwriting policies and procedures, including
collateral requirements, which are generally accepted by the secondary loan markets. Price risk is primarily related to interest rate
fluctuations and is partially managed through forward sales of residential mortgage-backed securities (primarily to-be announced
securities, or TBAs) or mandatory delivery commitments with investors.
The unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans held for sale, notional amounts of derivative contracts related to residential
mortgage loan commitments, such as interest rate lock commitments (“IRLC’s”) and forward contract sales and their related fair
values are set forth below.

Residential Mortgage Servicing
The Company may retain the right to service residential mortgage loans sold. The unpaid principal balance of loans serviced for
others is the primary driver of servicing revenue.

Remaining contractual term (in months)
Conforming conventional loans serviced by the Company are sold to Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) on a non-
recourse basis, whereby foreclosure losses are generally the responsibility of FNMA and not the Company. The government loans
serviced by the Company are secured through the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), whereby the Company is
insured against loss by the Federal Housing Administration or partially guaranteed against loss by the Veterans Administration. At
March 31, 2026, the servicing portfolio balance consisted of the following loan types: FNMA (
%), GNMA (
%), and private
investor (
%). FNMA and private investor loans are structured as actual/actual payment remittance.
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company did
t have delinquent residential mortgage loans in GNMA pools
serviced by the Company. The right to repurchase these loans and the corresponding liability has been recorded in other assets and
other liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company had
million repurchased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, of GNMA delinquent or defaulted mortgage
loans with the intention to modify their terms and include the loans in new GNMA pools.

million. At March 31, 2026, the Company had residential mortgage loans held for sale pledged as collateral under the above
warehouse lines of credit and master repurchase agreements. The above agreements also contain covenants which include certain
financial requirements, including maintenance of minimum tangible net worth, minimum liquid assets, and maximum debt to net
worth ratio, as defined in the agreements. The Company was in compliance with all significant debt covenants at March 31, 2026.
NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVES
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the
receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s
derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or
expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s subordinated debt.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company previously maintained interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $
for subordinated debt. Under the swap arrangement, the Company paid a fixed interest rate of
% and received a variable interest
rate based on three-month CME Term SOFR. In October 2025, the Company terminated the swaps and derecognized the derivative
assets. The unrealized gain of $
straight-line basis into interest expense through the remaining term of the original cash flow hedge. The Company estimates there will
be approximately $
For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in
accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during
which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense
as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate subordinated debt.
The following table presents the change in net gains (losses) recorded in AOCI and the consolidated statements of income related to
the cash flow derivative instruments (interest rate swaps related to subordinated debt).

NOTE 7 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all full-time and eligible part-time associates and a
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) and a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan II (“SERP II”) covering its
executive officers. The defined benefit plan was amended in December 2019 to remove plan eligibility for new associates hired after
December 31, 2019. The SERP II was adopted by the Company’s Board on May 21, 2020 and covers certain executive officers that
were not covered by the SERP.

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Lending Commitments
. The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks in the normal course of business
to meet the financing needs of its clients. These financial instruments consist of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of
credit.
The Company’s maximum exposure to credit loss under standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit is represented by
the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in establishing commitments and issuing
letters of credit as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The amounts associated with the Company’s off-balance sheet
obligations were as follows:

Commitments include unfunded loans, revolving lines of credit, and off-balance sheet residential loan commitments.
28
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client so long as there is no violation of any condition established in the
contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since
many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a client to a third
party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities. In
general, management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of participating in these types of transactions. However, any
potential losses arising from such transactions are reserved for in the same manner as management reserves for its other credit
facilities.
For both on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments, the Company requires collateral to support such instruments when it is
deemed necessary. The Company evaluates each client’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral
obtained upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies, but may
include deposits held in financial institutions; U.S. Treasury securities; other marketable securities; real estate; accounts receivable;
property, plant and equipment; and inventory.
The allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit commitments that are not unconditionally cancellable by the bank is
adjusted as a provision for credit loss expense and is recorded in other liabilities. The following table shows the activity in the
allowance.

Indemnification Obligation
. The Company is a member of the Visa U.S.A. network. Visa U.S.A member banks are required to
indemnify the Visa U.S.A. network for potential future settlement of certain litigation (the “Covered Litigation”) that relates to several
antitrust lawsuits challenging the practices of Visa and MasterCard International. In 2008, the Company, as a member of the Visa
U.S.A. network, obtained Class B shares of Visa, Inc. upon its initial public offering. Since its initial public offering, Visa, Inc. has
funded a litigation reserve for the Covered Litigation resulting in a reduction in the Class B shares held by the Company. In 2011, the
Company sold its remaining Class B shares. Associated with this sale, the Company entered into a swap contract with the purchaser
of the shares that requires a payment to the counterparty in the event that Visa, Inc. makes subsequent revisions to the conversion
ratio. Conversion ratio payments and ongoing fixed quarterly charges are reflected in earnings in the period incurred. Fixed charges
included in the swap liability are payable quarterly until the litigation reserve is fully liquidated and at which time the aforementioned
swap contract will be terminated. Quarterly fixed payments are approximately $

NOTE 9 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or paid to transfer that liability in an orderly
transaction occurring in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for such asset or
liability. In estimating fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income
approach and/or the cost approach. Such valuation techniques are consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques include the
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820
establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
29
●
Level 1 Inputs -
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the
ability to access at the measurement date
.
●
Level 2 Inputs -
Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or
liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from, or
corroborated, by market data by correlation or other means
.
●
Level 3 Inputs -
Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own
assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Securities Available for Sale.
U.S. Treasury securities are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs. Other securities classified as
available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements
from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market
spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, credit information and the bond’s terms
and conditions, among other things.
In general, the Company does not purchase securities that have a complicated structure. The Company’s entire portfolio consists of
traditional investments, nearly all of which are U.S. Treasury obligations, federal agency bullet or mortgage pass-through securities, or
general obligation or revenue-based municipal bonds. Pricing for such instruments is easily obtained. At least annually, the Company
will validate prices supplied by the independent pricing service by compari ng them to prices obtained from an independent third-party
source.
Equity Securities.
through net income as an adjustment to the investment balance. These securities are not readily marketable and therefore are classified
as a Level 3 input within the fair value hierarchy.
Loans Held for Sale
. The fair value of residential mortgage loans held for sale based on Level 2 inputs is determined, when possible,
using either quoted secondary-market prices or investor commitments. If no such quoted price exists, the fair value is determined
using quoted prices for a similar asset or assets, adjusted for the specific attributes of that loan, which would be used by other market
participants. The Company has elected the fair value option accounting for its held for sale loans.
Mortgage Banking Derivative Instruments.
The fair values of interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) are derived by valuation
models incorporating market pricing for instruments with similar characteristics, commonly referred to as best execution pricing, or
investor commitment prices for best effort IRLCs which have unobservable inputs, such as an estimate of the fair value of the
servicing rights expected to be recorded upon sale of the loans, net estimated costs to originate the loans, and the pull-through rate,
and are therefore classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of forward sale commitments is based on
observable market pricing for similar instruments and are therefore classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Interest Rate Swap.
The Company’s derivative positions are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and are valued using
models generally accepted in the financial services industry and that use actively quoted or observable market input values from
external market data providers. The fair value derivatives are determined using discounted cash flow models.
Fair Value Swap
. The Company entered into a stand-alone derivative contract with the purchaser of its Visa Class B shares. The
valuation represents the amount due and payable to the counterparty based upon the revised share conversion rate, if any, during the
period. The Company’s derivative positions are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and use actively quoted or
observable market input values from external market data providers. There was

three months ended March 31, 2025. Issuances are valued based on the change in fair value of the underlying mortgage loan from
inception of the IRLC to the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition date, adjusted for pull-through rates and costs to originate.
IRLCs transferred out of Level 3 represent IRLCs that were funded and moved to mortgage loans held for sale, at fair value.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis (i.e., the assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis
but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances). An example would be assets exhibiting evidence of impairment.
The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets measured on a non-recurring basis.
Collateral Dependent Loans
. Impairment for collateral dependent loans is measured using the fair value of the collateral less selling
costs. The fair value of collateral is determined by an independent valuation or professional appraisal in conformance with banking
regulations. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs due to the volatility in the real estate market, and the judgment and
estimation involved in the real estate appraisal process. Collateral dependent loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly
basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. Valuation techniques are consistent with those techniques applied in prior
periods. Collateral-dependent loans had a carrying value of $
and a carrying value of $
31
Other Real Estate Owned
. During the first three months of 2026, certain foreclosed assets, upon initial recognition, were measured
and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for credit losses based on the fair value of the foreclosed asset less
estimated cost to sell. The fair value of the foreclosed asset is determined by an independent valuation or professional appraisal in
conformance with banking regulations. On an ongoing basis, we obtain updated appraisals on foreclosed assets and realize valuation
adjustments as necessary. The fair value of foreclosed assets is estimated using Level 3 inputs due to the judgment and estimation
involved in the real estate valuation process.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
. Residential mortgage loan servicing rights are evaluated for impairment at each reporting period based
upon the fair value of the rights as compared to the carrying amount. Fair value is determined by a third party valuation model using
estimated prepayment speeds of the underlying mortgage loans serviced and stratifications based on the risk characteristics of the
underlying loans (predominantly loan type and note interest rate). The fair value is estimated using Level 3 inputs, including a
discount rate, weighted average prepayment speed, and the cost of loan servicing. Further detail on the key inputs utilized are
provided in Note 4 – Mortgage Banking Activities. At each of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was
allowance for loan servicing rights.
Assets and Liabilities Disclosed at Fair Value
The Company is required to disclose the estimated fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities, for which it is
practical to estimate fair value and the following is a description of valuation methodologies used for those assets and liabilities.
Cash and Short-Term Investments.
The carrying amount of cash and short-term investments is used to approximate fair value, given
the short time frame to maturity and as such assets do not present unanticipated credit concerns.
Securities Held to Maturity
. Securities held to maturity are valued in accordance with the methodology previously noted in the
caption “Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis – Securities Available for Sale.”

affected our financial condition and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements and related notes. The following information should provide a better understanding of the major factors and trends that
affect our earnings performance and financial condition, and how our performance during the first quarter of 2026 compares with prior
periods. Throughout this section, Capital City Bank Group, Inc., and subsidiaries, collectively, is referred to as “CCBG,” “Company,”
“we,” “us,” or “our.”
CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD -LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including this MD&A section, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements about our
beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, estimates and intentions that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are
subject to change based on various factors, many of which are beyond our control. The words “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,”
“believe,” “anticipate,” “contemplate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “point to,” “project,” “target,” “vision,” “goal,”
“continue,” “further,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Our actual future results may differ materially
from those set forth in our forward-looking statements. Please see the Introductory Note of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q as well
as the Introductory Note and
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Form 10-Q, and in our other filings made from time to time with the SEC after the date of this report.
However, other factors besides those listed in our Quarterly Report or in our Annual Report also could adversely affect our results,
and you should not consider any such list of factors to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties. Any forward-looking

BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We are a financial holding company headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida, and we are the parent of our wholly owned subsidiary,
Capital City Bank (the “Bank” or “CCB”). We offer a broad array of products and services through a total of 62 full-service offices
and 107 ATMs/ITMs located in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. Through Capital City Home Loans, LLC (“CCHL”), we have 27
additional offices in the Southeast for our mortgage banking business. We provide a full range of banking services, including
traditional deposit and credit services, mortgage banking, asset management, trust, merchant services, bankcards, securities brokerage
services and financial advisory services, including life insurance products , risk management and asset protection services.
Our profitability, like most financial institutions, is dependent to a large extent upon net interest income, which is the difference
between the interest and fees received on interest earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest paid on interest-bearing
liabilities, principally deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by the provision for credit losses, operating
expenses such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and other operating expenses including income taxes, and noninterest
income such as mortgage banking revenues, wealth management fees, deposit fees, and bank card fees.
We have included a detailed discussion of our long-term strategic objectives as part of the MD&A section of our 2025 Form 10-K.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)
We present a tangible common equity ratio and a tangible book value per diluted share that, in each case, removes the effect of
goodwill and other intangibles that resulted from merger and acquisition activity. We believe these measures are useful to investors
because they allow investors to more easily compare our capital adequacy to other companies in the industry. Non-GAAP financial
measures should not be considered alternatives to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)-basis financial statements and
other bank holding companies may define or calculate these non-GAAP measures or similar measures differently.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
Results of Operations
Performance Summary
. Net income attributable to common shareowners of $15.8 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, for the first
quarter of 2026 compared to $13.7 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2025, and $16.9 million, or $0.99 per
diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025.
Net Interest Income
. Tax-equivalent net interest income for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $42.9 million, compared to $43.4 million
for the fourth quarter of 2025, and $41.6 million for the first quarter of 2025. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, the decrease was
primarily driven by lower loan interest income due to lower average loan balances and lower overnight funds income, partially offset
by higher investment securities income due to new investment purchases at higher yields and lower deposit interest expense. Two less
calendar days contributed to the decline compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the increase
was primarily attributable to higher investment securities income due to new investment purchases at higher yields and higher
overnight funds income due to higher average balances that outpaced a decrease in loan interest income due to lower average
balances. Our net interest margin for the first quarter of 2026 was 4.24%, a decrease of two basis points from the fourth quarter of
2025 and an increase of two basis points over the first quarter of 2025.
Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses.
million compared to $2.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2025. Net loan charge-offs
were 10 basis points of average loans for the first quarter of 2026 versus 18 basis points for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 9 basis
points for the first quarter of 2025. At March 31, 2026, the allowance for credit losses for loans held for investment (“HFI”) totaled
$31.0 million compared to $31.0 million at December 31, 2025 and $29.7 million at March 31, 2025.
Noninterest Income
. Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $19.9 million, a $0.2 million, or 0.8%, decrease from the
fourth quarter of 2025 and similar to the first quarter of 2025. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2025 reflected a $0.5 million
decrease in wealth management fees and a $0.2 million decrease in deposit fees, partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in other
income. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, a $1.7 million decrease in wealth management fees was offset by a $0.7 million
increase in other income, a $0.5 million increase in deposit related fees, and a $0.4 million increase in mortgage banking revenues.
Noninterest Expense
. Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $41.4 million, a $1.5 million, or 3.5%, decrease from
the fourth quarter of 2025 and a $2.7 million, or 6.9%, increase over the first quarter of 2025. The decrease from the fourth quarter of
2025 reflected a $2.7 million decrease in compensation expense (primarily performance-based incentives), partially offset by a $1.2
million increase in other expense (pension settlement gain in the fourth quarter of 2025). Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the
increase reflected a $2.9 million increase in other expense ($4.0 million gain from the sale of bank owned property in the first quarter
of 2025) and a $0.3 million increase in occupancy expense, which was partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in compensation
expense.
Financial Condition
Earning Assets.
the fourth quarter of 2025, and an increase of $95.9 million, or 2.4%, over the first quarter of 2025. Compared to the fourth quarter of
2025, the change in earning asset mix reflected a $113.1 million increase in investment securities and a $0.5 million increase in loans
held for sale (“HFS”), partially offset by a $29.9 million decrease in overnight funds sold and a $29.8 million decrease in loans held
for investment. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the increase was primarily attributable to a $136.8 million increase in
investment securities and an $86.7 million increase in overnight funds sold, partially offset by a $127.6 million decrease in loans held
for investment.
Loans.
Average loans HFI decreased by $29.8 million, or 1.16%, from the fourth quarter of 2025, and decreased by $127.6 million, or
4.8%, from the first quarter of 2025. Loans HFI at March 31, 2026, decreased by $27.7 million, or 1.1%, from December 31, 2025,
and decreased by $142.4 million, or 5.4%, from March 31, 2025.
Credit Quality
. Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and other real estate) totaled $13.0 million at March 31, 2026 compared to
$10.5 million at December 31, 2025 and $4.4 million at March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, nonperforming assets as a percentage of
total assets was 0.29%, compared to 0.24% at December 31, 2025 and 0.10% at March 31, 2025. Nonaccrual loans totaled $11.1
million at March 31, 2026, a $2.5 million increase over December 31, 2025 and a $6.8 million increase over March 31, 2025. Other
real estate totaled $1.8 million at March 31, 2026 and reflected the addition of a banking office property for $1.2 million during the
quarter. Further, classified loans totaled $14.5 million at March 31, 2026, a $0.2 million increase over December 31, 2025, and a $4.6
million decrease from March 31, 2025.
38
Deposits
. Average total deposits were $3.691 billion for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $43.5 million, or 1.2%, over the
fourth quarter of 2025 and an increase of $25.5 million, or 0.7%, over the first quarter of 2025. At March 31, 2026, total deposits were
$3.752 billion, an increase of $89.3 million, or 2.4%, over December 31, 2025, and a decrease of $32.3 million, or 0.9%, from March
31, 2025. Total public funds balances were $629.9 million at March 31, 2026, $654.7 million at December 31, 2025, and $648.0
million at March 31, 2025.
Capital
. At March 31, 2026, we were “well-capitalized” with a total risk-based capital ratio of 21.62% and a tangible common equity
ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) of 10.79% compared to 21.45% and 10.79%, respectively, at December 31, 2025, and 19.20%
and 9.61%, respectively, at March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, all of our regulatory capital ratios exceeded the threshold to be
“well-capitalized” under the Basel III capital standards.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income represents our single largest source of earnings and is equal to interest income and fees generated by earning assets
less interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities. This information is provided on a “taxable equivalent” basis to reflect the tax-
exempt status of income earned on certain loans and state and local government debt obligations. We provide an analysis of our net
interest income including average yields and rates in Table I, “Average Balances & Interest Rates,” on page 47.
Tax-equivalent net interest income for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $42.9 million, compared to $43.4 million for the fourth quarter
of 2025, and $41.6 million for the first quarter of 2025. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, the decrease was primarily driven by
lower loan interest income due to lower average loan balances and lower overnight funds income, partially offset by higher investment
securities income due to new investment purchases at higher yields and lower deposit interest expense. Two less calendar days
contributed to the decline compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the increase was primarily
attributable to higher investment securities income due to new investment purchases at higher yields and higher overnight funds
income due to higher average balances that outpaced a decrease in loan interest income due to lower average balances.
Our net interest margin for the first quarter of 2026 was 4.24%, a decrease of two basis points from the fourth quarter of 2025 and an
increase of two basis points over the first quarter of 2025. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 the decrease was primarily
attributable to a lower overnight funds rate and lower average loan balances. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the increase
reflected favorable investment securities repricing partially offset by a lower overnight funds rate and lower average loan balances. For
the first quarter of 2026, our cost of funds was 81 basis points, a decrease of one basis point from the fourth quarter of 2025 and a
decrease of three basis points from the first quarter of 2025. Our cost of deposits (including noninterest bearing accounts) was 81 basis
points, 82 basis points, and 82 basis points, respectively, for the same periods.
39
Provision for Credit Losses
We recorded a provision expense for credit losses of $0.7 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $2.0 million for the fourth
quarter of 2025 and $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2025. For the first quarter of 2026, we recorded a provision expense of $0.6
million for loans HFI and a provision expense of $0.1 million for unfunded loan commitments. See “Allowance for Credit Losses”
below for a discussion of the various factors that impacted our provision expense.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $19.9 million, a $0.2 million, or 0.8%, decrease from the fourth quarter of
2025 and similar to the first quarter of 2025. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2025 reflected a $0.5 million decrease in wealth
management fees and a $0.2 million decrease in deposit fees, partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in other income. The decline in
wealth management fees was primarily due to a decrease in retail brokerage fees. The increase in other income was due to a $0.5
million miscellaneous recovery. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, a $1.7 million decrease in wealth management fees was offset
by a $0.7 million increase in other income, a $0.5 million increase in deposit related fees, and a $0.4 million increase in mortgage
banking revenues. The decline in wealth management fees was attributable to a decrease in retail brokerage assets under management
and lower insurance commission revenue due to the sale of our insurance subsidiary in 2025. The increase in other income reflected
the aforementioned miscellaneous recovery of $0.5 million.
Noninterest income represented 28.1% of operating revenues (net interest income plus noninterest income) in the first quarter of 2026
compared to 28.0% in the fourth quarter of 2025 and 32.9% in the first quarter of 2025.

Significant components of noninterest income are discussed in more detail below.
Deposit Fees
. Deposit fees for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $5.6 million, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 3.7%, from the fourth
quarter of 2025 and an increase of $0.5 million, or 10.6%, over the first quarter of 2025. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, the
$0.2 million decrease was attributable to lower overdraft fees. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the increase reflected a $0.4
million increase in account service charges and $0.1 million increase in overdraft fees.
Bank Card Fees
. Bank card fees for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $3.6 million, a $0.1 million, or 1.5%, decrease from the fourth
quarter of 2025 and a $0.1 million, or 3.3%, increase over the first quarter of 2025. The change across both periods primarily reflected
normal fluctuations in debit card usage, consistent with underlying consumer spending trends.
Wealth Management Fees
. Wealth management fees totaled $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of $0.5 million, or
10.5%, from the fourth quarter of 2025 and a decrease of $1.7 million, or 29.7%, from the first quarter of 2025. The decrease from the
fourth quarter of 2025 reflected lower retail brokerage fees of $0.3 million, trust fees of $0.1 million and insurance commissions of
$0.1 million. The decrease from the first quarter of 2025 reflected lower retail brokerage fees of $1.2 million and insurance
commission revenue of $0.7 million, partially offset by higher trust fees of $0.2 million. The decline in insurance commission revenue
from both prior periods was due to the sale of our insurance subsidiary in 2025. At March 31, 2026, total assets under management
were approximately $2.691 billion compared to $2.867 billion at December 31, 2025 and $3.068 billion at March 31, 2025. Compared
to both prior periods, the decline was due to lower retail brokerage assets partially attributable to the sale of our insurance subsidiary
in 2025.
Mortgage Banking Revenues
. Mortgage banking revenues totaled $4.3 million for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $0.1
million, or 2.3%, over the fourth quarter of 2025 and an increase of $0.4 million, or 11.3%, over the first quarter of 2025. Compared to
first quarter of 2025, the increase was driven by a higher level of interest rate locks and gain on sale margin. We provide a detailed
overview of our mortgage banking operation, including a detailed break -down of mortgage banking revenues, mortgage servicing
activity, and warehouse funding within Note 4 - Mortgage Banking Activities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
40
Other
. Other income totaled $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $0.5 million, or 24.6%, over the fourth quarter of
2025 and an increase of $0.7 million, or 37.3%, over the first quarter of 2025. The increase across both periods is primarily due to a
$0.5 million miscellaneous recovery in the first quarter of 2026.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $41.4 million, a $1.5 million, or 3.5%, decrease from the fourth quarter of
2025 and a $2.7 million, or 6.9%, increase over the first quarter of 2025. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2025 reflected a $2.7
million decrease in compensation expense, partially offset by a $1.2 million increase in other expense. The decrease in compensation
expense was primarily due to higher performance-based incentive pay of $2.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. The increase in
other expense reflected a $1.5 million pension plan settlement gain recorded in the fourth quarter of 2025. Compared to the first
quarter of 2025, the increase reflected a $2.9 million increase in other expense and a $0.3 million increase in occupancy expense,
which was partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in compensation expense. The increase in other expense was primarily
attributable to a $4.1 million increase in other real estate expense that reflected a gain from the sale of our operations center building
in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by decreases in charitable contributions, professional fees, and other miscellaneous
expenses. The increase in occupancy expense was primarily attributable to higher expense for maintenance agreements and software.
The decrease in compensation expense reflected a decrease in commission expense related to the sale of our insurance subsidiary.

Compensation
. Compensation expense totaled $25.7 million for the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 9.4%, from the
fourth quarter of 2025 and a decrease of $0.5 million, or 2.1%, from the first quarter of 2025. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025,
the decrease reflected a $1.7 million decrease in salary expense and $1.0 million decrease in associate benefit expense, both primarily
due to higher performance-based incentive pay in the fourth quarter of 2025. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the decrease was
driven by a $0.5 million decrease in salary expense due to lower commission expense related to the sale of our insurance subsidiary in
2025.
Occupancy.
fourth quarter of 2025 and an increase of $0.3 million, or 4.3%, over the first quarter of 2025. The increase over the first quarter 2025
was primarily attributable to higher expense for maintenance agreement s of $0.2 million and software licenses of $0.1 million.
41
Other
. Other noninterest expense totaled $8.6 million for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $1.2 million, or 15.6%, over the
fourth quarter of 2025 and an increase of $2.9 million, or 51.7% over the first quarter of 2025. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025,
the variance reflected a $1.5 million pension plan settlement gain recorded in the fourth quarter of 2025. Compared to the first quarter
of 2025, the increase was primarily attributable to a $4.1 million increase in other real estate expense that reflected a gain from the
sale of our operations center building in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by decreases in charitable contributions of $0.6
million, professional fees of $0.3 million, and other miscellaneous expenses of $0.5 million.
Our operating efficiency ratio (expressed as noninterest expense as a percent of the sum of taxable-equivalent net interest income plus
noninterest income) was 65.89% for the first quarter of 2026 compared to 67.50% for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 62.93% for the
first quarter of 2025. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, the ratio was favorably impacted by lower noninterest expense,
primarily performance-based compensation. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the variance was unfavorably impacted due to
lower noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2025, which included a $4.4 million gain from the sale of our operations center
building.
Income Taxes
We realized income tax expense of $4.8 million (effective rate of 23.5%) for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $4.9 million
(effective rate of 26.3%) for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $5.1 million (effective rate of 23.3%) for the first quarter of 2025.
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, the variance in the effective tax rate reflected discrete items for both quarters, including a
benefit in the first quarter of 2026 related to stock-based compensation and an expense in the fourth quarter of 2025 related to an
Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 162(m) limitation for executive compensation. Absent discrete items or new tax credit
investments, we expect our annual effective tax rate to approximate 24% for 2026.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Average earning assets totaled $4.090 billion for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $53.9 million, or 1.3%, over the fourth
quarter of 2025, and an increase of $95.9 million, or 2.4%, over the first quarter of 2025. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, the
change in earning asset mix reflected a $113.1 million increase in investment securities and a $0.5 million increase in loans held for
sale (“HFS”), partially offset by a $29.9 million decrease in overnight funds sold and a $29.8 million decrease in loans HFI. Compared
to the first quarter of 2025, the increase was primarily attributable to a $136.8 million increase in investment securities and an $86.7
million increase in overnight funds sold, partially offset by a $127.6 million decrease in loans HFI.
Investment Securities
Average investments totaled $1,119.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, a $113.1 million, or 11.2 %, increase over the fourth quarter
of 2025 and a $136.8 million, or 13.9% increase over the first quarter of 2025. Our investment portfolio represented 27.4% of our
average earning assets for the first quarter of 2026 compared to 24.9% for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 24.6% for the first quarter of
2025. For the remainder of 2026, we will continue to monitor our overall liquidity position and market conditions to determine if cash
flow from the investment portfolio should be reinvested or utilized to support loan growth.
The investment portfolio is a significant component of our operations and, as such, it functions as a key element of liquidity and
asset/liability management. Two types of classifications are approved for investment securities which are Available -for-Sale (“AFS”)
and Held-to-Maturity (“HTM”). At March 31, 2026, $800.6 million, or 69.3%, of the investment portfolio was classified as AFS and
$353.3 million, or 30.6%, was classified as HTM. The average maturity of our total portfolio at March 31, 2026 was 2.98 years
compared to 2.57 years at December 31, 2025 and 2.64 years at March 31, 2025. The duration of our investment portfolio at March
31, 2026 was 2.64 years compared to 2.12 years at December 31, 2025 and 2.10 years at March 31, 2025. Additional information on
unrealized gains/losses in the AFS and HTM portfolios is provided in Note 2 – Investment Securities.
We
determine the classification of a security at the time of acquisition based on how the purchase will affect our asset/liability strategy
and future business plans and opportunities.
We
consider multiple factors in determining classification, including regulatory capital
requirements, volatility in earnings or other comprehensive income, and liquidity needs. Securities in the AFS portfolio are recorded at
fair value with unrealized gains and losses associated with these securities recorded net of tax, in the accumulated other
comprehensive income component of shareowners’ equity. HTM securities are acquired or owned with the intent of holding them to
maturity. HTM investments are measured at amortized cost.
We
do not trade, nor do we presently intend to begin trading investment
securities for the purpose of recognizing gains and therefore we do not maintain a trading portfolio.
42
At March 31, 2026, there were 790 positions (combined AFS and HTM) with unrealized pre-tax losses totaling $26.3 million. 50 of
these positions are U.S. Treasury bonds and carry the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. 663 are U.S. government agency
securities issued by U.S. government sponsored entities. We believe the long history of no credit losses on government securities
indicates that the expectation of nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is effectively zero. At March 31, 2026, all collateralized
mortgage obligation securities, mortgage-backed securities, Small Business Administration securities, U.S. Agency, and U.S. Treasury
bonds held were rated AA+ or higher. The remaining 77 positions (municipal securities and corporate bonds) have a credit
component. At March 31, 2026, corporate debt securities had an immaterial allowance for credit losses. None of the securities held
by the Company were past due or in nonaccrual status at March 31, 2026.
Loans HFI
Average loans HFI decreased by $29.8 million, or 1.16%, from the fourth quarter of 2025, and decreased by $127.6 million, or 4.7%,
from the first quarter of 2025. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, the decline was primarily attributable to decreases in residential
real estate loans of $16.3 million, commercial real estate loans of $10.2 million, construction loans of $4.2 million consumer loans
(primarily indirect auto) or $2.3 million, and commercial loans of $1.5 million, partially offset by an increase in home equity loans of
$4.0 million. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the decline was primarily attributable to declines in construction loans of $56.8
million, commercial real estate loans of $32.6 million, consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $23.4 million, residential real estate
loans of $21.8 million, and commercial loans of $11.3 million, partially offset by an increase in home equity loans of $19.1 million.
Loans HFI at March 31, 2026, decreased by $27.7 million, or 1.1%, from December 31, 2025, and decreased by $142.4 million, or
5.4%, from March 31, 2025. Compared to December 31, 2025, the decline was primarily due to decreases in residential real estate
loans of $22.2 million, commercial real estate loans of $12.9 million, commercial loans of $10.1 million, other loans of $7.6 million
and consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $2.8 million, partially offset by increases in construction loans of $9.7 million and
home equity loans of $3.0 million. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the decrease was primarily attributable to declines in
commercial real estate loans of $51.1 million, residential real estate loans of $41.9 million, construction loans of $35.7 million,
consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $26.7 million, and commercial loans of $14.1 million, partially offset by an increase in
home equity loans of $17.9 million.
Without compromising our credit standards , changing our underwriting standards, or taking on inordinate interest rate risk, we
continue to closely monitor our markets and make minor adjustments as necessary.
Credit Quality
Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and other real estate) totaled $13.0 million at March 31, 2026 compared to $10.5 million at
December 31, 2025 and $4.4 million at March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets was
0.29%, compared to 0.24% at December 31, 2025 and 0.10% at March 31, 2025. Nonaccrual loans totaled $11.1 million at March 31,
2026, a $2.5 million increase over December 31, 2025 and a $6.8 million increase over March 31, 2025. The increase over December
31, 2025 was primarily attributable to the addition of four residential 1-4 family real estate loans totaling $1.9 million. Other real
estate totaled $1.8 million at March 31, 2026 and reflected the addition of a banking office property for $1.2 million during the first
quarter of 2026. Further, classified loans totaled $14.5 million at March 31, 2026, a $0.2 million increase over December 31, 2025 and
a $4.6 million decrease from March 31, 2025.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount
expected to be collected on the loans. The allowance for credit losses is adjusted by a credit loss provision which is reported in
earnings and reduced by the charge-off of loan amounts (net of recoveries). Loans are charged off against the allowance when
management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts
previously charged-off and expected to be charged -off. Expected credit loss inherent in non-cancellable off-balance sheet credit
exposures is provided through the credit loss provision but recorded as a separate liability included in other liabilities.
Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources relating to past
events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical loan default and loss experience provides the basis for
the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information incorporate management’s view of current
conditions and forecasts.
43
At March 31, 2026, the allowance for credit losses for loans HFI totaled $31.0 million comparable to $31.0 million and $29.7 million
at December 31, 2025 and at March 31, 2025, respectively. Activity within the allowance is provided in Note 3 – Loans Held for
Investment and Allowance for Credit Losses in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The slight increase in the allowance
over March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to utilization of a higher forecasted unemployment rate in calculating loan loss rates.
Net loan charge-offs were 10 basis points of average loans for the first quarter of 2026 versus 18 basis points for the fourth quarter of
2025 and 9 basis points for the first quarter of 2025. At March 31, 2026, the allowance represented 1.23% of loans HFI compared to
1.22% at December 31, 2025, and 1.12% at March 31, 2025.
At March 31, 2026, the allowance for credit losses for unfunded commitments totaled $2.2 million compared to $2.1 million and $1.8
million at December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. The change in the allowance for unfunded commitments from both
prior periods reflected variances in the level of unfunded loan commitments. The allowance for unfunded commitments is recorded in
other liabilities.
Deposits
Average total deposits were $3.691 billion for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $43.5 million, or 1.2%, over the fourth quarter
of 2025 and an increase of $25.5 million, or 0.7%, over the first quarter of 2025. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, the increase
was primarily attributable to higher public funds balances of $99 million, driven by seasonal inflows from municipal clients as they
receive their tax receipts beginning in late November, partially offset by declines in core deposits of $64 million (noninterest bearing
and interest bearing DDAs). The increase over the first quarter of 2025 was due to growth in both core deposit balances, and public
funds.
At March 31, 2026, total deposits were $3.752 billion, an increase of $89.3 million, or 2.4%, over December 31, 2025, and a decrease
of $32.3 million, or 0.9%, from March 31, 2025. The increase over December 31, 2025, was driven by higher core deposit balances of
$103 million (primarily noninterest bearing and NOW accounts), partially offset by a decrease in public funds balances of $25 million
(primarily NOW accounts). The decrease from March 31, 2025, was primarily due to lower public funds balances (noninterest bearing
accounts). Total public funds balances were $629.9 million at March 31, 2026, $654.7 million at December 31, 2025, and $648.0
million at March 31, 2025.
Business deposit transaction accounts classified as repurchase agreements averaged $15.8 million for the first quarter of 2026, a
decrease of $4.9 million from the fourth quarter of 2025 and a decrease of $14.0 million from the first quarter of 2025. At March 31,
2026, repurchase agreement balances were $4.6 million compared to $22.0 million at December 31, 2025 and $22.8 million at March
31, 2025.
We continue to closely monitor our cost of deposits and deposit mix as we manage through the current rate environment.
MARKET RISK AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
Market Risk and Interest Rate Sensitivity
Overview.
Market risk arises from changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, and equity prices. We have risk
management policies designed to monitor and limit exposure to market risk and we do not participate in activities that give rise to
significant market risk involving exchange rates, commodity prices, or equity prices. In asset and liability management activities, our
policies are designed to minimize structural interest rate risk.
Interest Rate Risk Management.
Our net income is largely dependent on net interest income. Net interest income is susceptible to
interest rate risk to the degree that interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice on a different basis than interest-earning assets. When
interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets in a given period, a significant increase in
market rates of interest could adversely affect net interest income. Similarly, when interest-earning assets mature or reprice more
quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling market interest rates could result in a decrease in net interest income. Net interest
income is also affected by changes in the portion of interest-earning assets that are funded by interest-bearing liabilities rather than by
other sources of funds, such as noninterest-bearing deposits and shareowners’ equity.
44
We have established what we believe to be a comprehensive interest rate risk management policy, which is administered by
management’s Asset Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”). The policy establishes limits of risk, which are quantitative
measures of the percentage change in net interest income (a measure of net interest income at risk) and the fair value of equity capital
(a measure of economic value of equity (“EVE”) at risk) resulting from a hypothetical change in interest rates for maturities from one
day to 30 years. We measure the potential adverse impacts that changing interest rates may have on our short-term earnings, long-
term value, and liquidity by employing simulation analysis through the use of computer modeling. The simulation model captures
optionality factors such as call features and interest rate caps and floors embedded in investment and loan portfolio contracts. As with
any method of gauging interest rate risk, there are certain shortcomings inherent in the interest rate modeling methodology used by
us. When interest rates change, actual movements in different categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, loan
prepayments, and withdrawals of time and other deposits, may deviate significantly from assumptions used in the model. Finally, the
methodology does not measure or reflect the impact that higher rates may have on adjustable-rate loan clients’ ability to service their
debts, or the impact of rate changes on demand for loan and deposit products.
The statement of financial condition is subject to testing for both parallel and upward and downward shifts in interest rates (assuming
no balance sheet growth) to indicate the inherent interest rate risk. We prepare a base case (assumes a static rate environment) and
several alternative interest rate simulations for various ranges of upward and downward interest rate changes. This analysis is prepared
quarterly and reported to ALCO, our Market Risk Oversight Committee (“MROC”), our Risk Oversight Committee (“ROC”) and the
Board of Directors. We will periodically augment our interest rate simulations with alternative interest rate scenarios that may include
various non-parallel shifts in interest rates, including a flattening or steepening of the yield curve.
Our goal is to structure the statement of financial condition so that net interest earnings at risk over 12-month and 24-month periods
and the economic value of equity at risk do not exceed policy guidelines at the various interest rate shock levels. We attempt to
achieve this goal by balancing, within policy limits, the volume of floating-rate liabilities with a similar volume of floating-rate assets,
by keeping the average maturity of fixed-rate asset and liability contracts reasonably matched, by managing the mix of our core
deposits, and by adjusting our rates to market conditions on a continuing basis.
Analysis.
Measures of net interest income at risk produced by simulation analysis are indicators of an institution’s short-term
performance in alternative rate environments. These measures are typically based upon a relatively brief period, and do not
necessarily indicate the long-term prospects or economic value of the institution. The following table presents our net interest income
simulation results for gradual 12-month and 24-month “ramp” scenarios applied to the base scenario. The “ramp” scenario is a parallel
shift applied gradually over a 12-month period for the projected 12-month and 24-month period on a pro rata basis.

The Net Interest Income (“NII”) at Risk position of an instantaneous, parallel rate shock indicates that in the short-term (over the next
12 months), all rising rate environments will positively impact the net interest margin of the Company, while declining rate
environments will have a negative impact on the net interest margin. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, these metrics became
more favorable in the declining rate scenarios due to the deployment of variable rate overnight funds into the investment securities
portfolio. The instantaneous parallel rate shock results over the next 12-month and 24-month periods are within our prescribed policy
limits for all rate scenarios.
45
The measures of equity value at risk indicate our ongoing economic value by considering the effects of changes in interest rates on all
of our cash flows by discounting the cash flows to estimate the present value of assets and liabilities. The difference between these
discounted values of the assets and liabilities is the economic value of equity, which in theory approximates the fair value of our net
assets.

At March 31, 2026, the economic value of equity was favorable in all rising rate environments and unfavorable in the falling rate
environments. EVE was within prescribed tolerance levels as the EVE ratio (EVE/EVA) in all rate scenarios is greater than 5.0%.
Factors that can impact EVE values include the absolute level of rates, the overall structure of the balance sheet (including liquidity
levels), pre-payment speeds, loan floors, and the change of model assumptions.
As the interest rate environment and the dynamics of the economy continue to change, additional simulations will be analyzed to
address not only the changing rate environment, but also the change in mix of our financial assets and liabilities measured over
multiple years, to help assess the risk to the Company.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
In general terms, liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet our cash needs. Our objective in managing our liquidity is to
maintain our ability to meet loan commitments, purchase securities or repay deposits and other liabilities in accordance with their
terms, without an adverse impact on our current or future earnings. Our liquidity strategy is guided by policies that are formulated and
monitored by our ALCO and senior management, which take into account the marketability of assets, the sources and stability of
funding and the level of unfunded commitments. We regularly evaluate all of our various funding sources with an emphasis on
accessibility, stability, reliability and cost-effectiveness. Our principal source of funding has been our client deposits, supplemented
by our short-term and long-term borrowings, primarily from securities sold under repurchase agreements, federal funds purchased and
FHLB borrowings. We believe that the cash generated from operations, our borrowing capacity and our access to capital resources are
sufficient to meet our future operating capital and funding requirements.
At March 31, 2026, we had the ability to generate approximately $1.6 51 billion (excludes overnight funds position of $425 million) in
additional liquidity through various sources including various federal funds purchased lines, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, the
Federal Reserve Discount Window, and brokered deposits. We recognize the importance of maintaining liquidity and have developed
a Contingent Liquidity Plan, which addresses various liquidity stress levels and our response and action based on the level of severity.
We periodically test our credit facilities for access to the funds but also understand that as the severity of the liquidity level increases
certain credit facilities may no longer be available. We conduct a liquidity stress test on a quarterly basis based on events that could
potentially occur at the Bank and report results to our ALCO, MROC, EROC, and Board of Directors. We believe the liquidity
available to us at March 31, 2026 was sufficient to meet our on-going needs and execute our business strategy.
We also view our investment portfolio as a liquidity source and have the option to pledge securities in our portfolio as collateral for
borrowings or deposits, and/or to sell selected securities. Our portfolio consists of debt issued by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. governmental
agencies, municipal governments, and corporate entities. Additional information on our investment portfolio is provided within Note 2
– Investment Securities.
The Bank maintained an average net overnight funds (i.e., deposits with banks plus FED funds sold, less FED funds purchased) sold
position of $407.7 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $437.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2026 and $320.9 million in
the first quarter of 2025. Compared to both prior periods, the variance reflected higher average deposits and lower average loans and
the deployment of excess liquidity into the investment security portfolio.
46
We expect our capital expenditures will be approximately $10.0 million over the next 12 months, which will primarily consist of
construction of a new office, office remodeling, office equipment/furniture, and technology purchases. Management expects that
these capital expenditures will be funded with existing resources without impairing our ability to meet our on-going obligations.
Borrowings
Average short -term borrowings totaled $43.6 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $41.6 million for the fourth quarter of
2025 and $37.3 million for the first quarter of 2025. The variances compared to both prior periods were primarily due to mortgage
warehouse borrowing activity. Additional detail on warehouse borrowings is provided in Note 4 – Mortgage Banking Activities in the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
We have issued two junior subordinated deferrable interest notes to our wholly owned Delaware statutory trusts. The first note for
$30.9 million was issued to CCBG Capital Trust I in November 2004, of which $10 million was retired in April 2016. We made
principal payments on this note of $4.1 million and $5.1 million in the first quarter of 2026 and the second quarter of 2025,
respectively. The second note for $32.0 million was issued to CCBG Capital Trust II in May 2005. We made principal payments on
this note of $5.1 million each in the first quarter of 2026 and the second quarter of 2025. The interest payment for the CCBG Capital
Trust I borrowing is due quarterly and adjusts quarterly to a variable rate of three-month CME Term SOFR (secured overnight
financing rate) plus a margin of 1.90%. This note matures on December 31, 2034. The interest payment for the CCBG Capital Trust II
borrowing is due quarterly and adjusts quarterly to a variable interest rate based on three-month CME Term SOFR plus a margin of
1.80%. This note matures on June 15, 2035. The proceeds from these borrowings were used to partially fund acquisitions. Under the
terms of each junior subordinated deferrable interest note, in the event of default or if we elect to defer interest on the note, we may
not, with certain exceptions, declare or pay dividends or make distributions on our capital stock or purchase or acquire any of our
capital stock.
The Company previously maintained a derivative cash flow hedge of our interest rate risk related to our subordinated debt. The
notional amount of the derivative is $30 million ($10 million of the CCBG Capital Trust I borrowing and $20 million of the CCBG
Capital Trust II borrowing). In October 2025, the interest rate swaps were terminated. Additional detail on the interest rate swap
agreement is provided in Note 5 – Derivatives in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Capital
Our capital ratios are presented in the Selected Quarterly Financial Data table on page 36. At March 31, 2026, our regulatory capital
ratios exceeded the threshold to be designated as “well-capitalized” under the Basel III capital standards.
Shareowners’ equity was $559.9 million at March 31, 2026 compared to $552.9 million at December 31, 2025 and $512.6 million at
March 31, 2025. For the first three months of 2026, shareowners’ equity was positively impacted by net income attributable to
shareowners of $15.8 million, the issuance of stock of $2.8 million, and stock compensation accretion of $0.5 million. Shareowners’
equity was reduced by a common stock dividend of $4.6 million ($0.27 per share), repurchases of our common stock of $2.6 million
(63,088 shares), net adjustments totaling $2.6 million related to transactions under our stock-based compensation plans, and a net $2.3
million decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive gain. The net unfavorable change in accumulated other comprehensive gain
was primarily due to a $2.2 million increase in the investment securities loss.
At March 31, 2026, our total risk-based capital ratio was 21.62% compared to 21.45% at December 31, 2025 and 19.20% at March 31,
2025. Our common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 19.08%, 18.56%, and 16.08%, respectively, on these dates. Our leverage ratio was
11.65%, 11.77%, and 11.17%, respectively, on these dates. At March 31, 2026, all our regulatory capital ratios exceeded the
thresholds to be designated as “well-capitalized” under the Basel III capital standards. Further, our tangible common equity ratio (non-
GAAP financial measure) was 10.79% at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, compared to 9.61% at March 31, 2025. If our
unrealized held-to-maturity securities loss of $7.2 million (after-tax) were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, our
adjusted tangible capital ratio would be 10.62%.
Our tangible capital ratio is also impacted by the recording of our unfunded pension liability through other comprehensive income in
accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 715. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the net pension asset
reflected in other comprehensive income was $9.4 million compared to $9.7 million at March 31, 2025. This liability is re-measured
annually on December 31
st
liability include the weighted average discount rate used to measure the present value of the pension liability, the weighted average
expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets, and the assumed rate of annual compensation increases, all of which will
vary when re-measured. The discount rate assumption used to calculate the pension liability is subject to long-term corporate bond
rates at December 31
st
. These assumptions and sensitivities are discussed in the section entitled “Critical Accounting Policies and
Estimates” in Part II, Item7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our 2025
Form 10-K.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our
clients.
At March 31, 2026, we had $669.7 million in commitments to extend credit and $7.5 million in standby letters of credit.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client so long as there is no violation of any condition established in the
contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since
many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance
of a client to a third party. We use the same credit policies in establishing commitments and issuing letters of credit as we do for on-
balance sheet instruments.
If commitments arising from these financial instruments continue to require funding at historical levels, management does not
anticipate that such funding will adversely impact our ability to meet our on-going obligations. In the event these commitments
require funding in excess of historical levels, management believes current liquidity, advances available from the FHLB and the
Federal Reserve, and investment security maturities provide a sufficient source of funds to meet these commitments.
Certain agreements provide that the commitments are unconditionally cancellable by the bank and for those agreements no allowance
for credit losses has been recorded.
We
have recorded an allowance for credit losses on loan commitments that are not
unconditionally cancellable by the Bank, which is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition
and totaled $2.2 million at March 31, 2026.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2025 Form 10-K.
The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP and reporting practices applicable to the banking
industry requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses,
and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
We have identified accounting for (i) the allowance for credit losses, (ii) goodwill, (iii) pension assumptions, and (iv) income taxes as
our most critical accounting policies and estimates in that they are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and
they require our subjective and complex judgment as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are
inherently uncertain. These accounting policies, including the nature of the estimates and types of assumptions used, are described
throughout this Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and Part II, Item 7,
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2025 Form 10-K.
