[10-Q] CHOICEONE FINANCIAL SERVICES INC Quarterly Earnings Report
ChoiceOne Financial Services reported stronger Q3 2025 results following its March merger with Fentura. Net income was $14.7 million, up from $7.3 million a year ago, and diluted EPS was $0.97 versus $0.85. Net interest income rose to $37.6 million from $20.2 million as loan interest grew with a larger balance sheet. The provision for credit losses was $0.2 million, compared with $0.4 million last year.
Noninterest income increased to $7.1 million from $4.9 million, led by higher service charges and interchange. Noninterest expense rose to $26.2 million from $15.4 million, reflecting scale and higher amortization. At quarter‑end, total assets were $4.30 billion (up from $2.72 billion at December 31, 2024), loans, net were $2.88 billion (vs. $1.53 billion), and deposits were $3.57 billion (vs. $2.21 billion). The allowance for credit losses was $34.8 million (vs. $16.6 million).
During 2025, the company issued 6,070,836 shares as merger consideration and recorded cash received of $173.1 million from the merger. Shareholders’ equity ended at $449.6 million, with 15,017,802 shares outstanding at September 30, 2025. As of October 31, 2025, shares outstanding were 15,023,732.

ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc.
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. (“ChoiceOne”), its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ChoiceOne Bank (the “Bank”) and 109 Technologies, LLC, and ChoiceOne Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ChoiceOne Insurance Agencies, Inc. (the “Insurance Agency”). Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
ChoiceOne owns all of the common securities of Community Shores Capital Trust I, Fentura Capital Trust I, and Fentura Capital Trust II (collectively, the “Capital Trusts”). Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Capital Trusts are not consolidated because each is a variable interest entity and ChoiceOne is not the primary beneficiary.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto reflect all adjustments ordinary in nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in ChoiceOne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Recent Events
On March 1, 2025, ChoiceOne completed the merger (the “Merger”) of Fentura Financial, Inc. (“Fentura”), the former parent company of The State Bank, with and into ChoiceOne with ChoiceOne surviving the merger. On March 14, 2025, ChoiceOne Bank completed the consolidation of The State Bank with and into ChoiceOne Bank with ChoiceOne Bank surviving the consolidation.
Identification and Classification of Merger-Related Expenses
Merger-related expenses are costs incurred directly in connection with the company's merger and acquisition activities and are expensed in the period in which the costs are incurred and services are received. The costs to issue equity securities associated with the merger are netted against the value of the securities issued. Merger related expenses include legal fees for negotiation and drafting of merger agreements, accounting and auditing fees related to due diligence and financial statement preparation, consulting fees for strategic advisory services specific to the merger, costs related to regulatory filings and compliance, expenses for integration planning and execution (including IT, systems integration, and contract terminations), severance and retention bonuses for employees affected by the merger, and travel and accommodation expenses directly related to merger activities.
To ensure accurate classification and segregation of these expenses, detailed documentation supporting the nature and purpose of each expense is maintained, including invoices, contracts, and internal memos. All merger-related expenses must be reviewed and approved by the CFO or an authorized delegate to ensure they meet the criteria for classification as merger-related. The Accounting Department conducts periodic reviews of these expenses to ensure proper classification and segregation, promptly addressing and correcting any discrepancies. Merger-related expenses are disclosed separately in the financial statements and accompanying notes to provide transparency to investors and stakeholders.
Use of Estimates
To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, ChoiceOne’s management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided. These estimates and assumptions are subject to many risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates associated with the allowance for credit losses, the unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale and held to maturity, and the fair value measurement of acquired assets and liabilities associated with the Merger are particularly susceptible to change.
Goodwill
Goodwill results from business acquisitions and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events and circumstances exist that indicate that a goodwill impairment test should be performed.
9
Core Deposit Intangible
Core deposit intangible represents the value of the acquired customer core deposit bases and is included as an asset on the consolidated balance sheets. The core deposit intangible has an estimated finite life, is amortized on an accelerated basis over its useful life and is subject to periodic impairment evaluation.

Reclassifications
Certain amounts presented in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”)
The ACL is a valuation allowance for expected credit losses. The ACL is increased by the provision for credit losses and decreased by loans charged off less any recoveries of charged off loans. As ChoiceOne has had very limited loss experience since 2011, management elected to utilize benchmark peer loss history data to estimate historical loss rates. ChoiceOne identified an appropriate peer group for each loan pool which shared similar characteristics. Management estimates the ACL required based on the selected peer group loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, a reasonable and supportable economic forecast, and other factors. Allocations of the ACL may be made for specific loans, but the entire ACL is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off. Loan losses are charged against the ACL when management believes that collection of a loan balance is not possible.
The ACL consists of general and specific components. The general component covers loans collectively evaluated for credit losses and is based on peer historical loss experience adjusted for current and forecasted factors. Management's adjustment for current and forecasted factors is based on trends in delinquencies, trends in charge-offs and recoveries, trends in the volume of loans, changes in underwriting standards, trends in loan review findings, the experience and ability of lending staff, and a reasonable and supportable economic forecast described further below.
The discounted cash flow methodology is utilized for all loan pools included in the general component. This methodology is supported by our current expected credit loss ("CECL") software provider and allows management to automatically calculate contractual life by factoring in all cash flows and adjusting them for behavioral and credit-related aspects.
Reasonable and supportable economic forecasts have to be incorporated in determining expected credit losses. The forecast period represents the time frame from the current period end through the point in time that we can reasonably forecast and support entity and environmental factors that are expected to impact the performance of our loan portfolio. Ideally, the economic forecast period would encompass the contractual terms of all loans; however, the ability to produce a forecast that is considered reasonable and supportable becomes more difficult or may not be possible in later periods. Subsequent to the end of the forecast period, we revert to historical loan data based on an ongoing evaluation of each economic forecast in relation to then current economic conditions as well as any developing loan loss activity and resulting historical data. As of September 30, 2025, we used a one-year reasonable and supportable economic forecast period, with a two year straight-line reversion period.
We are not required to develop and use our own economic forecast model, and we elected to utilize economic forecasts from third-party providers that analyze and develop forecasts of the economy for the entire United States at least quarterly.
10
Other inputs to the calculation are also updated or reviewed quarterly. Prepayment speeds are updated on a one quarter lag based on the asset liability model from the previous quarter. This model is performed at the loan level. Curtailment is updated quarterly within the ACL model based on our peer group average. The reversion period is reviewed by management quarterly with consideration of the current economic climate. Prepayment speeds and curtailment were updated during the third quarter of 2025; however, the effect was insignificant.
We are also required to consider expected credit losses associated with loan commitments over the contractual period in which we are exposed to credit risk on the underlying commitments unless the obligation is unconditionally cancellable by us. Any allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures is reported as an other liability on our Consolidated Balance Sheet and is increased or decreased via the provision for credit losses account on our Consolidated Statement of Income. The calculation includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and forecasted credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over their estimated lives. The allowance is calculated using the same aggregate reserve rates calculated for the funded portion of loans at the portfolio level applied to the amount of commitments expected to be funded.
Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are excluded from the collective evaluation. ChoiceOne has determined that any loans which have been placed on non-performing status, loans with a risk rating of 6 or higher, and loans past due more than
ACL for Purchased Loans: With and Without Credit Deterioration
Purchased loans are initially recorded at fair value. ChoiceOne’s accounting treatment for these loans depends on whether they exhibit significant credit deterioration since origination at the time of purchase. As part of the Merger, ChoiceOne recognized a valuation adjustment on the purchased loans, which included two distinct categories: loans purchased with credit deterioration and those without. A substantial portion of this adjustment is expected to be recognized as interest income over time.
Purchased Loans with Credit Deterioration
Purchased loans that reflect a more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination at the date of purchase are classified as purchased credit deteriorated (PCD) loans. PCD loans are recorded at fair value plus the ACL expected at the time of purchase. Under this method, there is no provision for credit losses on purchase of PCD loans. The ACL was recorded as the credit mark on PCD loans. PCD loans are assessed on a regular basis and subsequent adjustments to the ACL are recorded on the income statement. The non-credit-related difference between fair value and the unpaid principal balance at the purchase date is amortized or accreted to interest income over the contractual life of the loan using the effective interest method.
Purchased Loans Without Credit Deterioration
Loans not considered purchased credit deteriorated (Non-PCD) loans do not reflect more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination at the date of purchase. These loans are recorded at fair value and an increase to the allowance for credit losses (ACL) is recorded with a corresponding increase to the provision for credit losses at the date of purchase. The difference between fair value and the unpaid principal balance at the purchase date is amortized or accreted to interest income over the contractual life of the loan using the effective interest method. Purchased loans from the Merger were brought into the model and segmented into classes on the same basis as ChoiceOne originated loans.
ACL for Securities
Securities Available for Sale ("AFS") – For securities AFS in an unrealized loss position, management determines whether they intend to sell or if it is more likely than not that ChoiceOne will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For securities AFS with unrealized losses not meeting these criteria, management evaluates whether any decline in fair value is due to credit loss factors. In making this assessment, management considers any changes to the rating of the security by rating agencies and adverse conditions specifically related to the issuer of the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Changes in the ACL under ASC 326-30 are recorded as provisions for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the ACL when the collectability of a debt security AFS is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent
11
or requirement to sell is met. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an ACL is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of income taxes. At September 30, 2025, there was no ACL related to debt securities AFS.
Securities Held to Maturity ("HTM") – Since the adoption of CECL, ChoiceOne measures credit losses on HTM securities on a collective basis by major security type with each type sharing similar risk characteristics, and considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The ACL on securities HTM is a contra asset valuation account that is deducted from the carrying amount of HTM securities to present the net amount expected to be collected. HTM securities are charged off against the ACL when deemed uncollectible. Adjustments to the ACL are reported in ChoiceOne’s Consolidated Statements of Income in the provision for credit losses. Accrued interest receivable totaled $
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adoption of ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires enhanced disclosures about the Company's operating segments. This adoption was aimed at providing more transparent and comprehensive information regarding the Company's financial performance and position. The Company operates in
While ChoiceOne’s management monitors the revenue streams of various products and services for the Bank and the Insurance Agency, operations and financial performance are evaluated on a company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated into one reportable operating segment.
ASU 2023-09 Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update enhance transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This ASU requires consistent categorization, greater disaggregation, and detailed disclosures related to income taxes paid. These changes aim to help users of financial statements understand factors contributing to differences between effective and statutory tax rates. The disclosure is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is evaluating the impact this will have on the Company's income tax disclosures.

ChoiceOne evaluates all securities on a quarterly basis to determine if an ACL and corresponding impairment charge should be recorded. Consideration is given to the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of ChoiceOne to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value of amortized cost basis. ChoiceOne believes that unrealized losses on securities were temporary in nature and were caused primarily by changes in interest rates, increased credit spreads, and reduced market liquidity and were not caused by the credit status of the issuer. No ACL was recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 on AFS securities.
The majority of unrealized losses at September 30, 2025, are related to U.S. Treasury notes and bonds, state and municipal bonds and mortgage backed securities. The U.S. Treasury notes are guaranteed by the U.S. government and
Unrealized losses have not been recognized into income because the issuers’ bonds are of high credit quality, and management does not intend to sell the bonds prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the bonds. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach maturity.

Presented below is a schedule of maturities of securities as of September 30, 2025. Available for sale securities are reported at fair value and held to maturity securities are reported at amortized cost. Callable securities in the money are presumed called and matured at the callable date.

The process to monitor the credit quality of ChoiceOne’s loan portfolio includes tracking (1) the risk ratings of business loans and (2) delinquent and nonperforming consumer loans. Business loans are risk rated on a scale of 1 to 9. A description of the characteristics of the ratings follows:
Risk Rating 1 through 5 or pass: These loans are considered pass credits. They exhibit acceptable credit risk and demonstrate the ability to repay the loan from normal business operations.
Risk rating 6 or special mention: Loans and other credit extensions bearing this grade are considered to be inadequately protected by the current net worth and debt service capacity of the borrower or of any pledged collateral. These obligations, even if apparently protected by collateral value, have well-defined weaknesses related to adverse financial, managerial, economic, market, or political conditions that have clearly jeopardized repayment of principal and interest as originally intended. Furthermore, there is the possibility that ChoiceOne Bank will sustain some future loss if such weaknesses are not corrected. Clear loss potential, however, does not have to exist in any individual assets classified as special mention. Loans falling into this category should have clear action plans and timelines with benchmarks to determine which direction the relationship will move.
Risk rating 7 or substandard: Loans and other credit extensions graded “7” have all the weaknesses inherent in those graded “6”, with the added characteristic that the severity of the weaknesses makes collection or liquidation in full highly questionable or improbable based upon currently existing facts, conditions, and values. Loans in this classification should be evaluated for non-accrual status. All nonaccrual commercial and Retail loans must be at a minimum graded a risk code “7”.
Risk rating 8 or doubtful: Loans and other credit extensions bearing this grade have been determined to have the extreme probability of some loss, but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors, the amount of loss cannot be determined. Such pending factors could include merger or liquidation, additional capital injection, refinancing plans, or perfection of liens on additional collateral.
Risk rating 9 or loss: Loans in this classification are considered uncollectible and cannot be justified as a viable asset of ChoiceOne Bank. This classification does not mean the loan has absolutely no recovery value, but that it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off this loan even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future.

NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and the valuation techniques used by the Company to determine those fair values.
In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability.
In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.

Securities classified as available for sale are generally reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. ChoiceOne’s external investment advisor obtained fair value measurements from an independent pricing service that uses matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). The fair value measurements considered observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows and the bonds' terms and conditions, among other things. Securities classified in Level 2 included U.S. Government and federal agency securities, state and municipal securities,
33
mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds, and asset backed securities. The Company classified certain state and municipal securities and corporate bonds as Level 3. Based on the lack of observable market data, estimated fair values were based on the observable data available and reasonable unobservable market data.
The Company classified certain equity securities as Level 3. Based on the lack of observable market data, estimated fair values were based on the observable data available and reasonable unobservable market data.
Derivative instruments and interest rate swaps are generally reported at fair value using Level 2 inputs. The estimated fair value is determined by calculating the present value of expected future cashflows, based on market observable inputs.

Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions classified as Level 3 assets and liabilities. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for these assets and liabilities presented in the tables above may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs.
The Company also has assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are not normally measured at fair value, but can be subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as impairment.

Collateral dependent loans classified as Level 3 are loans for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale or operation of the collateral when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The fair value of the collateral should be adjusted for estimated costs to sell if the repayment depends on the sale of the collateral. The net carrying amount of the loan should not exceed the fair value of the collateral (less costs to sell, if applicable). The fair value of other real estate owned was based on appraisals or other reviews of property values, adjusted for estimated costs to sell.

NOTE 7 – REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
ChoiceOne has a variety of sources of revenue, which include interest and fees from customers as well as revenue from non-customers. ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, covers certain sources of revenue that are classified within noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Sources of revenue that are included in the scope of ASC Topic 606 include service charges and fees on deposit accounts, interchange income, investment asset management income and transaction-based revenue, and other charges and fees for customer services.
Customer service charges
Revenue includes charges and fees to provide account maintenance, overdraft services, wire transfers, funds transfer, and other deposit-related services. Account maintenance fees such as monthly service charges are recognized over the period of time that the service is provided. Transaction fees such as wire transfer charges are recognized when the service is provided to the customer.
Interchange income
Revenue includes debit card interchange and network revenues. This revenue is earned on debit card transactions that are conducted through payment networks. The revenue is recorded as services are delivered and is presented net of interchange expenses.
Insurance and investment commission income
Revenue includes fees from the investment management advisory services and revenue is recognized when services are rendered. Revenue also includes commissions received from the placement of brokerage transactions for purchase or sale of stocks or other investments and commission income is recognized when the transaction has been completed. The Company earns commissions from the sale of life insurance and credit life insurance products. Revenue is recognized at the time the policy is sold, as the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied upon completion of the sale.
Trust fee income
Revenue includes fees from the management of trust assets and from other related advisory services. Revenue is recognized when services are rendered.

NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
ChoiceOne is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. ChoiceOne utilizes interest rate derivatives as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. Derivative instruments represent contracts between parties that result in one party delivering cash to the other party based on a notional amount and an underlying term (such as a rate, security price or price index) as specified in the contract. The amount of cash delivered from one party to the other is determined based on the interaction of the notional amount of the contract with the underlying term. Derivatives are also implicit in certain contracts and commitments.
ChoiceOne recognizes derivative financial instruments in the consolidated financial statements at fair value regardless of the purpose or intent for holding the instrument. ChoiceOne records derivative assets and derivative liabilities on the balance sheet within other assets and other liabilities, respectively. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are either recognized in income or in shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss depending on whether the derivative financial instrument qualifies for hedge accounting and, if so, whether it qualifies as a fair value hedge or cash flow hedge.
Interest rate swaps
ChoiceOne uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy to add stability to net interest income and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. Interest rate swaps designated as hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for ChoiceOne making fixed-rate payments or the receipt of fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for ChoiceOne making variable rate payments, over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount.

Back to Back Loan Swaps
Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service provided to certain commercial loan borrowers. ChoiceOne executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers desiring longer-term fixed rate loans, while simultaneously entering into interest rate swaps with a correspondent bank to offset the impact of the interest rate swaps with the commercial banking customers. This is known as a back to back loan swap agreement. The net result is the desired floating rate loan and a minimization of the risk exposure of the interest rate swap transactions. Under this arrangement the Bank has freestanding interest rate swaps, each of which is carried at fair value. As the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the commercial banking customer interest rate swaps and the offsetting interest rate swaps with the correspondent bank are recognized directly to earnings. As the terms mirror each other, there is no income statement impact to the Bank.

The pro forma information is theoretical in nature and not necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations of the Company or the consolidated results of operations which would have resulted had ChoiceOne acquired Fentura during the periods presented.
ChoiceOne has determined that it is impractical to report the amounts of revenue and earnings of legacy Fentura since the Merger date due to the integration of operations shortly after the merger date. Accordingly, reliable and separate complete revenue and earnings information is no longer available. In addition, such amounts would require significant estimates related to the proper allocation of Merger cost savings that cannot be objectively made.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion is designed to provide a review of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. (“ChoiceOne”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements and related notes.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This discussion and other sections of this quarterly report contain forward-looking statements that are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the financial services industry, the economy, and ChoiceOne. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “is likely,” “plans,” “predicts,” “projects,” “may,” “could,” “look forward,” “continue,” “future,” “will” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Management’s determination of the provision and allowance for credit losses, the carrying value of goodwill, loan servicing rights, other real estate owned, and the fair value of investment securities (including whether any impairment on any investment security is temporary or other-than-temporary and the amount of any impairment) and management’s assumptions concerning pension and other post-retirement benefit plans involve judgments that are inherently forward-looking. All of the information concerning interest rate sensitivity is forward-looking. All statements with references to future time periods are forward-looking. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions (“risk factors”) that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood, and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed, implied or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Furthermore, ChoiceOne undertakes no obligation to update, amend, or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Risk factors include, but are not limited to, the risk factors discussed in Item 1A of ChoiceOne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. These are representative of the risk factors that could cause a difference between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this report includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. ChoiceOne
believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information that is useful to investors in helping to understand
underlying financial performance and condition and trends of ChoiceOne.
Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations. Readers should be aware of these limitations and should be cautious with
respect to the use of such measures. To compensate for these limitations, non-GAAP financial measures are used as comparative tools, together with GAAP financial measures, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance or financial condition. These measures are also calculated using the appropriate GAAP or regulatory components in their entirety and are computed in a manner intended to facilitate consistent period-to-period comparisons. ChoiceOne’s method of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from methods used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for those financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP or applicable regulatory requirements.
Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the most directly comparable GAAP or regulatory financial measure, as well as the
reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP or regulatory financial measure, can be found in the tables to this Form 10-Q
under the heading non-GAAP reconciliation.

(1) Merger related provision for credit losses represents the estimated credit loss on loans purchased without credit deterioration in the Merger on March 1, 2025.
As of September 30, 2025, total assets were $4.3 billion, an increase of $1.6 billion compared to September 30, 2024. The growth in total assets is primarily attributed to the Merger. The growth in total assets was offset by a $36.0 million reduction in loans to other financial institutions and a $47.0 million reduction in cash and cash equivalents on September 30, 2025 compared to September 30, 2024. Loans to other financial institutions consist of a warehouse line of credit used to facilitate mortgage loan originations, with interest rates and balances that fluctuate in line with the national mortgage market. The reduction in cash balances is primarily due to purchases of agency mortgage backed securities during the third quarter of 2025. ChoiceOne has actively managed its balance sheet to support organic loan growth with a loan to deposit ratio of 81.8% at September 30, 2025.
Core loans, which exclude held for sale loans and loans to other financial institutions, declined by $10.3 million or 1.4% on an annualized basis during the third quarter of 2025 and grew organically by $65.3 million or 4.5% during the twelve months ended September 30, 2025. Core loans grew by $1.4 billion due to the Merger on March 1, 2025. Loan interest income increased $23.9 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 includes $3.6 million of interest income due to accretion from purchased loans. Of this amount, $1.8 million was calculated using the effective interest rate method of amortization, while the remaining $1.8 million resulted from unexpected payoffs and paydowns of loans with an associated fair value mark. Estimated interest income due to accretion from purchased loans for the remainder of 2025 and 2026 using the effective interest method of amortization is $2.3 million and $8.2 million, respectively; however, actual results will be dependent on prepayment speeds and other factors. It is estimated that a total of $54.0 million remains to be recognized as interest income due to accretion from purchased loans over the life of the loan portfolio.
Deposits, excluding brokered deposits, increased by $8.0 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to June 30, 2025. During the third quarter of 2025 non-interest bearing deposits declined by $39.9 million while interest bearing demand deposits increased by $73.4 million. The shift from non-interest-bearing to interest-bearing demand deposits was partly due to quarter-end timing and fluctuations in business and municipal activity. The growth in interest-bearing demand deposits was primarily concentrated in non-maturity interest-bearing checking and money market accounts. The average balance of non-interest-bearing deposits rose to $930.3 million in the third quarter of 2025, up from $915.6 million in the second quarter of 2025. Deposits, excluding brokered deposits, increased by $1.3 billion as of September 30, 2025, compared to September 30, 2024 largely as a result of the Merger. ChoiceOne continues to be proactive in managing its liquidity position by using brokered deposits and FHLB advances to ensure ample liquidity. At September 30, 2025, total available borrowing capacity secured by pledged assets was $1.2 billion. ChoiceOne can increase its borrowing capacity by utilizing unsecured federal fund lines and pledging additional assets. Uninsured deposits totaled $1.2 billion or 33.2% of deposits at September 30, 2025.
45
In the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year, ChoiceOne’s cost of deposits to average total deposits increased by 4 basis points, rising from 1.53% to 1.57%, primarily due to higher-cost deposits acquired through the Merger. This increase was partially offset by a decline in CD costs and a reduction in wholesale funding costs. The annualized cost of funds decreased by 10 basis points, from 1.87% to 1.77% in the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year. In the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, annualized cost of funds decreased to 1.77% from 1.84%, primarily due to a decrease in higher cost local and brokered CDs. Interest expense on borrowings for the three months ended September 30, 2025, declined by $489,000 compared to the same period in the prior year. As of September 30, 2025, the total balance of borrowed funds from the FHLB was $198.0 million at a weighted average fixed rate of 4.23%, with $158.0 million due within 12 months.
ChoiceOne uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate exposure to certain fixed rate assets and variable rate liabilities. During the third quarter of 2025, ChoiceOne entered into $30.4 million in amortizing pay fix swaps to hedge interest rate risk on approximately $40.6 million of newly purchased agency mortgage backed securities. The swaps are designed to amortize with the expected cash flow of the bonds and hold a coupon of 3.52% and a contractual term ending in 2040. On September 30, 2025, ChoiceOne held pay-fixed interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $381.3 million, a weighted average coupon of 3.15%, a fair value of $6.8 million and an average remaining contract length of 7.2 years. Settlements from swaps amounted to $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2025. In addition to the pay-fixed interest rate swaps, ChoiceOne also employs back-to-back swaps on select commercial loans, with the impact reflected in interest income.
The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to total loans (excluding loans held for sale) was 1.19% on September 30, 2025 compared to 1.07% on December 31, 2024. Asset quality continues to remain strong, with annualized net loan charge-offs to average loans of 0.03% and nonperforming loans to total loans (excluding loans held for sale) of 0.69% as of September 30, 2025. Notably, 0.39% of the nonperforming loans to total loans (excluding loans held for sale) is attributed to loans purchased with credit deterioration acquired in the Merger.
The annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average shareholders’ equity were 1.36% and 13.39%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2025, compared to an annualized 1.09% and an annualized 12.36%, respectively, for the same period in 2024. The annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average shareholders’ equity were 0.48% and 5.00%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2025, compared to 0.98% and 12.00%, respectively, for the same period in 2024.
Dividends
Cash dividends of $4.2 million or $0.28 per share were declared in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $2.4 million or $0.27 per share in the third quarter of 2024. Cash dividends declared in the first nine months of 2025 were $12.6 million or $0.84 per share, compared to $6.5 million or $0.81 per share in the same period during the prior year. The cash dividend payout percentage was 88.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 33.2% in the same period in the prior year.
Interest Income and Expense
Tables 1 and 2 on the following pages provide information regarding interest income and expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Table 1 documents ChoiceOne’s average balances and interest income and expense, as well as the average rates earned or paid on assets and liabilities. Table 2 documents the effect on interest income and expense of changes in volume (average balance) and interest rates. These tables are referred to in the discussion of interest income, interest expense and net interest income.

Net Interest Income
Tax-equivalent net interest income (non-GAAP) increased $17.4 million and $45.2 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. The primary factor contributing to the increase in interest income was loan growth, both organically and due to the Merger, the impact of interest income due to accretion from purchased loans, and the impact of fixed rate swaps (see note 8). Tax equivalent net interest margin (non-GAAP) increased 54 and 66 basis points in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. GAAP based net interest margin increased 56 and 68 basis points in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024.
The following table presents the annualized cost of deposits and the annualized cost of funds for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

ChoiceOne has experienced loan growth, leading to an increase in interest income from loans of $23.9 million and $60.3 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, average loans increased by $1.5 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, driven by both organic growth and the impact of the Merger, compared to the same periods in 2024. In addition, the average rate earned on loans increased 5 and 28 basis points in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. Interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 includes $3.6 million and $10.0 million, respectively, of interest income due to accretion from purchased loans.
The average balance of total securities increased $19.4 million and decreased $802,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase during the three months ended September 30, 2025 is due to $40.6 million of newly purchased agency mortgage backed securities. These securities were purchased in congruence to $30.4 million of amortizing pay fix swaps designed to amortize with the expected cash flow of the bonds and hold a coupon of 3.52%. The decrease in securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, is due to paydowns and a decline in the fair value of available for sale securities, offset by the purchase of agency mortgage backed securities during the third quarter of 2025. The average rate earned on securities decreased 18 basis points and 15 basis points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Interest income and rate on securities were impacted by a decline in cash settlements from fixed rate interest rate swaps which are hedged against securities.
Total interest expense increased $5.7 million and $13.4 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. This increase was driven by a $1.2 billion increase in interest bearing liabilities from the Merger. Interest expense on interest bearing-demand deposits and savings deposits increased $3.7 million and $8.4 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The average rate paid on interest bearing-demand deposits and savings deposits increased by 30 basis points and 20 basis points in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year as higher cost deposits were acquired in the Merger.
In the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year, ChoiceOne’s cost of deposits to average total deposits increased by 4 basis points, rising from 1.53% to 1.57%, primarily due to higher-cost deposits acquired through the Merger. This increase was partially offset by a decline in CD costs and a reduction in wholesale funding costs. The annualized cost of funds decreased by 10 basis points, from 1.87% to 1.77% in the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year. In the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, annualized cost of funds decreased to 1.77% from 1.84%, primarily due to a decrease in higher cost local and brokered CDs.
The average balance of borrowings increased by $9.9 million and declined by $30.9 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. In addition, the rate paid on borrowings declined by 28 basis points and 17 basis points in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024. The decline in balance and rate led to a decline in interest expense of $489,000 and $1.3 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024.

In September 2021, ChoiceOne completed a private placement of $32.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.25% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2031. In addition, ChoiceOne holds certain subordinated debentures issued in connection with trust preferred securities that were obtained as part of the merger with Community Shores and the Merger with Fentura. The average balance of subordinated debentures increased $10.3 million and the average rate on subordinated debentures increased 86 basis points in the first nine months of 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year due to the additional subordinated debentures obtained in the Merger. The increase led to additional expense of $652,000 for the first nine months of 2025 compared to the same period in prior year.

Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses
The ACL consists of general and specific components. The general component covers loans collectively evaluated for credit loss and is based on peer historical loss experience adjusted for current and forecasted factors. Management's adjustment for current and forecasted factors is based on trends in delinquencies, trends in charge-offs and recoveries, trends in the volume of loans, changes in underwriting standards, trends in loan review findings, the experience and ability of lending staff, and a reasonable and supportable economic forecast described further below.
The determination of our loss factors is based, in part, upon benchmark peer loss history adjusted for qualitative factors that, in management's judgment, affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the analysis date. Our lookback period for benchmark peer net charge-off history excludes the years 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and spans from January 1, 2004, to December 31, 2019, and January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2024.
The provision for credit losses on loans was $200,000 and $14.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The provision for credit losses in the first nine months of 2025 was due primarily to $12.0 million of expense in the first quarter for the acquisition of $1.3 billion of loans purchased without credit deterioration in the Merger. Additional expense was recorded to account for organic growth, changes in qualitative factors, and forecast data used in the allowance for credit losses calculation. The allowance for credit losses also increased by $4.9 million in the first quarter of 2025 as the credit mark on loans purchased with credit deterioration (“PCD loans”) migrated into the reserve in accordance with CECL guidelines.
Nonperforming assets, which includes Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO") but excludes performing troubled loan modifications ("TLM"), increased by $15.8 million to $19.9 million at September 30, 2025, compared to the balance on December 31, 2024, largely due to $12.9 million in non-accrual loans and $1.7 million of OREO acquired in the Merger. All non-accrual loans from the Merger are classified as PCD loans. The ACL was 1.19% of total loans, excluding loans held for sale, at September 30, 2025, compared to 1.07% as of December 31, 2024. The liability for expected credit losses on unfunded loans and other commitments was $1.6 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $1.5 million as of December 31, 2024.
Charge-offs and recoveries for respective loan categories for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

Net charge-offs were $734,000 during the first nine months of 2025, compared to net charge-offs of $295,000 during the same period in 2024. Net charge-offs for checking accounts during the first nine months of 2025 were $206,000 compared to $155,000 for the same period in the prior year. Annualized net loan charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.03% for the first nine months of 2025 compared to 0.02% for the same period in the prior year. Nonperforming loans to total loans (excluding loans held for sale) were 0.69% as of September 30, 2025. Notably, 0.39% of the nonperforming loans to total loans (excluding loans held for sale) is attributed to PCD loans acquired through the Merger which have a corresponding PCD credit reserve.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income increased by $2.3 million and $5.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in the prior year. This increase was partly driven by higher service charges and interchange income, which rose due to increased volume from the Merger. Investment commissions and trust income also increased as a result of higher estate settlement fees and customers obtained from the Merger. Additionally, ChoiceOne recognized income from two death benefit claims under bank-owned life insurance policies during the second quarter for an additional $299,000.
Noninterest Expense
52
Noninterest expense increased by $10.8 million and $44.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024. The year to date increase was largely due to merger-related expenses of $17.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $645,000 in the same period in the prior year. Management does not anticipate additional material merger expenses. The remainder of the increase was primarily due to the addition of Fentura on March 1, 2025. ChoiceOne continues to strive to optimize our cost structure while investing in opportunities that enhance our performance and reinforce the value we bring to customers and shareholders.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $3.6 million and $3.1 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to income tax expense of $1.9 million and $4.7 million for the same periods in 2024. The effective tax rate was 19.9% and 17.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to 20.8% and 19.4% for the same periods in 2024. The effective tax rate in 2025 is lower than compared to 2024 due to a decrease in disallowed interest expense during 2025.
53
FINANCIAL CONDITION
At September 30, 2025, ChoiceOne had consolidated total assets of $4.3 billion, net loans of $2.9 billion, total deposits (excluding brokered deposits) of $3.5 billion and total shareholders' equity of $449.6 million.
Securities
In the first quarter of 2025, ChoiceOne acquired $90.7 million in securities as part of the Merger. However, to reduce higher-cost wholesale funding, management opted to sell $78.9 million of those securities. As a result, the net increase in securities from the Merger totaled $11.8 million.
On September 30, 2025, total available-for-sale securities amounted to $544.0 million, up from $479.1 million on December 31, 2024. This increase was driven by securities acquired through the Merger and the purchase of $40.6 million of agency mortgage backed securities purchased in conjuncture with $30.4 million in amortizing pay fix swaps. The swaps are designed to amortize with the expected cash flow of the bonds and hold a coupon of 3.52% and a contractual term ending in 2040. Purchases of securities were offset by principal repayments, calls, and maturities. The unrealized loss on securities available for sale was relatively flat compared to December 31, 2024.
Total held to maturity securities on September 30, 2025 were $388.5 million compared to $394.5 million on December 31, 2024. ChoiceOne's held to maturity securities declined during the first nine months of 2025 due to $12.3 million of principal repayments, calls and maturities, which was offset by $4.1 million in securities acquired through the Merger and purchases of securities during the first nine months of 2025.
At September 30, 2025, ChoiceOne had $101.6 million in gross unrealized losses on its investment securities, including $60.5 million in unrealized losses on available for sale securities, $40.6 million in unrealized losses on held to maturity securities, and $496,000 in unrealized losses on equity securities. Unrealized losses on corporate and municipal bonds have not been recognized into income because management believes the issuers are of high credit quality, and management does not intend to sell prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the bonds. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach maturity.
ChoiceOne utilizes interest rate derivatives as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. In order to hedge the risk of rising rates and unrealized losses on securities resulting from the rising rates, ChoiceOne currently holds pay fixed, receive variable interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $381.3 million. These derivative instruments change in value as rates rise or fall inverse to the change in unrealized losses of the available for sale portfolio. Refer to Note 8 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities of the consolidated financial statements for more discussion on ChoiceOne’s derivative position.
Equity securities included a money market preferred security ("MMP") of $1.0 million and common stock of $8.5 million as of September 30, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, equity securities included a MMP of $1.0 million and common stock of $6.8 million.
Per U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, unrealized gains or losses on securities available for sale are reflected on the balance sheet in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), while unrealized gains or losses on securities held to maturity are not reflected on the balance sheet.

Average loan balances decreased $8.3 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to the second quarter of 2025. Core loans, which exclude held for sale loans and loans to other financial institutions, declined by $10.3 million or 1.4% on an annualized basis during the third quarter of 2025 and grew organically by $65.3 million or 4.5% during the twelve months ended September 30, 2025. Core loans grew by $1.4 billion due to the Merger on March 1, 2025.
Loan interest income increased $23.9 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 includes $3.6 million of interest income due to accretion from purchased loans. Of this amount, $1.8 million was calculated using the effective interest rate method of amortization, while the remaining $1.8 million resulted from accretion through unexpected payoffs and paydowns of loans with an associated fair value mark. Estimated interest income due to accretion from purchased loans for the remainder of 2025 and 2026 using the effective interest method of amortization is $2.3 million and $8.2 million, respectively; however, actual results will be dependent on prepayment speeds and other factors. It is estimated that a total of $54.0 million remains to be recognized as interest income due to accretion from purchased loans over the life of the loan portfolio.
Loans to other financial institutions decreased by $37.4 million as of September 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024. Loans to other financial institutions consist of a warehouse line of credit used to facilitate mortgage loan originations, with interest rates and balances that fluctuate in line with the national mortgage market.
Goodwill
Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated annually for impairment and on an interim basis if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and an impairment charge would be recognized for any amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. Accounting pronouncements allow a company to first perform a qualitative assessment for goodwill prior to a quantitative assessment (Step 1 assessment). If the results of the qualitative assessment indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, then a quantitative assessment must be performed. If not, there is no further assessment required. The Company acquired Valley Ridge Financial Corp. in 2006, County Bank Corp in 2019, Community Shores in 2020, and Fentura in 2025, which resulted in the recognition of goodwill of $13.7 million, $38.9 million, $7.3 million and $66.6 million, respectively.
ChoiceOne conducted an annual assessment of goodwill as of June 30, 2025 and no impairment was identified. No material changes and no triggering events have occurred that indicated impairment.
Deposits and Borrowings
Deposits, excluding brokered deposits, increased by $8.0 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to June 30, 2025. During the third quarter of 2025, non-interest bearing deposits declined by $39.9 million while interest-bearing demand deposits increased by $73.4 million. The shift from non-interest-bearing to interest-bearing demand deposits was partly due to quarter-end timing and fluctuations in business and municipal activity. The growth in interest-bearing demand deposits was primarily concentrated in non-maturity interest-bearing checking and money market accounts. The average balance of non-interest-bearing deposits rose to $930.3 million in the third quarter of 2025, up from $915.6 million in the second quarter of 2025. Deposits, excluding brokered deposits, increased by $1.3 billion as of September 30, 2025, compared to September 30, 2024 largely as a result of the Merger. ChoiceOne continues to be proactive in managing its liquidity position by using brokered deposits and FHLB advances to ensure ample liquidity. At September 30, 2025, total available borrowing capacity secured by pledged assets was $1.2 billion. ChoiceOne can increase its borrowing capacity by utilizing unsecured federal fund lines and pledging additional assets. Uninsured deposits totaled $1.2 billion or 33.2% of deposits at September 30, 2025.
55
ChoiceOne recognized a core deposit intangible of $31.0 million related to the Merger. This intangible asset, valued at 2.78% of Fentura's core deposits, is being amortized over a period of 10 years using the sum-of-years-digits method. This approach reflects the anticipated pattern of economic benefits derived from the core deposits. ChoiceOne recognized core deposit intangible expense of $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
In the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year, ChoiceOne’s cost of deposits to average total deposits increased by 4 basis points, rising from 1.53% to 1.57%, primarily due to higher-cost deposits acquired through the Merger. This increase was partially offset by a decline in CD costs and a reduction in wholesale funding costs. The annualized cost of funds decreased by 10 basis points, from 1.87% to 1.77% in the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year. In the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, annualized cost of funds decreased to 1.77% from 1.84%, primarily due to a decrease in higher cost local and brokered CDs.
Interest expense on borrowings for the three months ended September 30, 2025, declined by $489,000 compared to the same period in the prior year. As of September 30, 2025, the total balance of borrowed funds from the FHLB was $198.0 million at a weighted average fixed rate of 4.23%, with $158.0 million due within 12 months and the earliest maturity in October 2025.
In September 2021, ChoiceOne completed a private placement of $32.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.25% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2031. ChoiceOne also holds $15.9 million in subordinated debentures that were obtained in the acquisition of Community Shores and the Merger with Fentura, offset by the merger mark-to-market adjustment.
Shareholders' Equity
As of September 30, 2025, shareholders’ equity was $449.6 million, a significant increase from $260.8 million on December 31, 2024. This growth was primarily driven by the Merger, in which ChoiceOne issued 6,070,836 shares of common stock on March 1, 2025, valued at $193.0 million. ChoiceOne Bank continues to be “well-capitalized,” with a total risk-based capital ratio of 12.8% as of September 30, 2025, compared to 12.7% on December 31, 2024.

Management reviews the capital levels of ChoiceOne and ChoiceOne Bank on a regular basis. The Board of Directors and management believe that the capital levels as of September 30, 2025 are adequate for the foreseeable future. The Board of Directors’ determination of appropriate cash dividends for future periods will be based on, among other things, market conditions and ChoiceOne’s requirements for cash and capital.

Liquidity
Net cash provided by operating activities was $17.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $24.6 million net cash provided in the same period in 2024. The change was primarily driven by a $15.1 million decrease in other liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, partially offset by a $13.6 million increase in the provision for credit losses over the same timeframe. Net cash provided by investing activities was $224.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $56.3 million in the same period in 2024. The increase is due to the sale of $78.9 million of securities acquired in the Merger with Fentura. ChoiceOne also received $173.1 million of cash from The State Bank as part of the Merger. Net cash used in financing activities was $240.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $122.2 million provided in the same period in the prior year. ChoiceOne decreased borrowing by $147.2 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to an increase of $10.1 million in the same period during the prior year. ChoiceOne had $79.0 million in deposit decline, net of the increase from the Merger, in the first nine months of 2025 compared to an increase of $86.2 million in the same period in 2024. The deposit decline was primarily due to seasonal municipal fluctuations and some reduction of higher cost deposits acquired from the Merger, offset by an increase in brokered deposits.
ChoiceOne's market risk exposure occurs in the form of interest rate risk and liquidity risk. ChoiceOne's business is transacted in U.S. dollars with no foreign exchange risk exposure. Agricultural loans comprise a relatively small portion of ChoiceOne's total assets. Management believes that ChoiceOne's exposure to changes in commodity prices is insignificant.
Liquidity risk deals with ChoiceOne's ability to meet its cash flow requirements. These requirements include depositors desiring to withdraw funds and borrowers seeking credit. Longer-term liquidity needs may be met through core deposit growth, maturities of and cash flows from investment securities, normal loan repayments, advances from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank, brokered certificates of deposit, and income retention. ChoiceOne had $198.0 million in outstanding borrowings from the FHLB at a weighted average fixed rate of 4.23%, with the earliest maturity in October 2025 as of September 30, 2025. ChoiceOne had $72.7 million in brokered deposits on September 30, 2025. The acceptance of brokered certificates of deposit is not limited as long as the Bank is categorized as “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. At September 30, 2025, total available borrowing capacity from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank was $1.2 billion.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of ChoiceOne’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of ChoiceOne’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025. Based on and as of the time of that evaluation, ChoiceOne’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that ChoiceOne’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in the reports that ChoiceOne files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that ChoiceOne files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including ChoiceOne’s principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There was no change in ChoiceOne’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, ChoiceOne’s internal control over financial reporting.
