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 income was $111.774 million, versus $100.230 million, and total interest income was $162.906 million, versus $148.582 million.

Other comprehensive loss for the nine months was $20.749 million, and accumulated other comprehensive loss was $56.423 million as of September 30, 2026.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

allowance for credit losses financial
"The ACL is a valuation allowance for expected credit losses."
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.
loans purchased with credit deterioration (PCD loans) financial
"Loans purchased that reflect a more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination at the date of purchase are classified as loans purchased with credit deterioration (PCD loans)."
reasonable and supportable economic forecast financial
"a reasonable and supportable economic forecast"
available for sale financial
"Securities Available for Sale ("AFS")"
Available for sale describes investments, usually bonds or stocks, that a company intends to keep but may sell before they mature; they are reported at current market value on the balance sheet while any unrealized profit or loss is kept separate from regular earnings. For investors, this matters because changes in market value affect a company’s reported net worth and can become realized gains or losses when sold, similar to how the changing resale value of a collectible affects your net wealth even before you sell it.
held to maturity financial
"Securities Held to Maturity ("HTM")"
A "held to maturity" classification applies to debt securities a company intends and is able to keep until they are fully repaid. Think of it like putting a bond in a locked safe until the issuer returns your money; the company does not mark the holding to daily market swings, so reported income and balance-sheet values are steadier. For investors, it signals predictable future interest receipts and reduced volatility in reported results, but also less liquidity if cash is needed before maturity.

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.

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.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.

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, 2025.

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. 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, the fair value of other financial instruments (derivatives), 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.

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.

Customer List Intangible

Customer list intangible represents the value of the acquired customer relationships from the Merger and is included as an asset on the consolidated balance sheets. The customer list intangible has an estimated finite life and is amortized on an accelerated basis over its useful life and is subject to periodic impairment evaluation.

 

Stock Transactions

 

A total of 5,048 and 17,129 shares of common stock were issued to ChoiceOne’s Board of Directors for a cash price of $172,000 and $520,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, under the terms of the Directors’ Stock Purchase

Plan. A total of 3,139 and 8,927 shares for a cash price of $86,000 and $237,000 were issued to employees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

 

A total of 6,136 and 16,442 shares of common stock were issued to ChoiceOne’s Board of Directors for a cash price of $176,000 and $496,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, under the terms of the Directors’ Stock Purchase Plan. A total of 2,802 and 7,413 shares for a cash price of $69,000 and $182,000 were issued to employees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

On March 1, 2025, ChoiceOne issued 6,070,836 shares of common stock at a net cost of $193.0 million as consideration in the Merger. Also on March 1, 2025, as required in the Merger, ChoiceOne purchased 57,807 shares of common stock from Fentura's employee stock ownership plan for a cash price of approximately $1.8 million. ChoiceOne retired 6,750 shares of stock that were FETM shares which were owned by ChoiceOne prior to the merger for a cash price of $215,000 on March 1, 2025.

 

ChoiceOne’s common stock repurchase plan announced in April 2021 and amended in 2022, authorizes the repurchase of up to 375,388 shares, representing 5% of the total outstanding shares of common stock as of the date the repurchase plan was adopted. ChoiceOne repurchased 40,000 and 125,000 shares of stock for a net cost of $1.3 million and $3.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, under the repurchase plan. ChoiceOne made no repurchases of common stock during the first nine months of 2025. The repurchase plan has 225,272 shares remaining to purchase as of September 30, 2026. There was no stated expiration date. The repurchase of shares during 2026 reflects our view that our capital position is healthy and the repurchase of shares is in the best interest of our shareholders.

 

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. During 2026, management updated its peer group methodology and selected a new peer group to better reflect the Company's current size, geographic footprint, loan portfolio mix, and lending practices following continued growth and merger-related changes to the organization. The revised peer group consists of institutions that management believes are more comparable to ChoiceOne's current risk profile and operating environment, resulting in a more representative estimate of expected credit losses. 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, 2026 and December 31, 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.

 

11


 

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 2026.

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 60 days will be assessed individually for evaluation. If an individually evaluated loan subsequently shares risk characteristics with other loans, it is returned to the appropriate collective pool. Individual analysis will establish a specific reserve for loans in scope. Specific reserves on non-performing loans are typically based on management’s best estimate of the fair value of collateral securing these loans, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate or based on the present value of the expected cash flows from that loan.

 

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 (“PCD”) and loans purchased without credit deterioration. Loans were classified as PCD based on a review of credit quality indicators at the acquisition date, including any loan designated as a watch‑list credit (which includes loans that were 30 days or more past due and/or internally risk‑rated 6 or higher), as well as any loan for which credit deterioration was identified or recommended by ChoiceOne’s third‑party loan review firm as part of its independent credit review. A substantial portion of this valuation adjustment is expected to be recognized as interest income over time.

Loans Purchased with Credit Deterioration

Purchased loans that reflect a more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination at the date of purchase are classified as loans purchased with credit deterioration (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 allowance for credit losses 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.

Loans Purchased Without Credit Deterioration

Loans purchased without credit deterioration (Non-PCD loans) do not reflect more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination at the date of purchase. Non-PCD loans are recorded at fair value and an increase to the allowance for credit losses 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

 

12


 

and an allowance for credit losses 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 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, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was no ACL related to securities AFS.

Securities Held to Maturity ("HTM") – 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 $5.8 million at September 30, 2026 and $2.0 million at December 31, 2025 and was reported in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. With regard to US Treasury securities, these have an explicit government guarantee; therefore, no ACL is recorded for these securities. With regard to obligations of states and political subdivisions and other HTM securities, management considers (1) issuer bond ratings, (2) historical loss rates for given bond ratings, (3) the financial condition of the issuer, and (4) whether issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments under the contractual terms of the securities. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the ACL related to HTM securities was insignificant.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2025-08 Purchased Credit Deteriorated Loans

 

In November 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025‑08, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans, which expands the use of the gross‑up method for recognizing expected credit losses on certain acquired loans. The amendments extend the gross‑up approach—previously limited to purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans—to a broader population of acquired loans that meet the definition of purchased seasoned loans, while retaining the existing accounting model for PCD loans. Under the gross‑up method, an allowance for credit losses is recorded at acquisition with a corresponding increase to the loan’s amortized cost basis, rather than through earnings. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods therein, and is to be applied prospectively. Management has elected not to early adopt this guidance and is currently evaluating the potential impact of adoption on the Bank’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – SECURITIES

On January 1, 2022, ChoiceOne reassessed and transferred, at fair value, $428.4 million of securities classified as available for sale to the held to maturity classification. The net unrealized after-tax loss of $2.7 million as of the transfer date remained in accumulated other comprehensive income to be amortized over the remaining life of the securities, offsetting the related amortization of discount or premium on the transferred securities. No gains or losses were recognized at the time of the transfer. The remaining net unamortized unrealized loss on transferred securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income was $1.6 million after tax as of September 30, 2026.

On March 1, 2025, ChoiceOne acquired $90.7 million in securities as part of the Merger; however, management chose to sell $78.9 million of those securities to pay down higher cost wholesale funding. The sale of the securities was completed so close to the fair value determination date that no loss was recognized. Consequently, the net increase in securities from the Merger was $11.8 million.

The fair value of equity securities and the related gross unrealized gains (losses) recognized in noninterest income were as follows:

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 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, 2026 and September 30, 2025 on AFS securities.

The majority of unrealized losses at September 30, 2026, 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 100% of the notes are rated AA. State and municipal bonds are backed by the taxing authority of the bond issuer or the revenues from the bond. On September 30, 2026, 85% of state and municipal bonds held are rated AA or better, 10% are A rated and 5% are not rated. Of the mortgage-backed securities held on September 30, 2026, 47% were issued by US government sponsored entities and agencies, and rated AA, 38% are AAA rated private issue and collateralized mortgage obligations, and 15% are unrated privately issued mortgage-backed securities with structured credit enhancement and collateralized mortgage obligations.

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.

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 sound 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.

The following tables reflect the amortized cost basis of loans as of September 30, 2026 based on year of origination (dollars in thousands). The current year-to-date gross write offs reflect nine months ended September 30, 2026 gross write offs:

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, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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,

 

31


 

mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds, and asset backed securities. 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.

Of the Level 3 assets that were held by the Company at September 30, 2026, the net unrealized gain as of September 30, 2026 was $839,000, compared to $606,000 as of September 30, 2025. The change in the net unrealized gain or loss is recognized in noninterest income or accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheets and income statements. Amounts recognized in noninterest income relate to changes in equity securities. A total of $139,000 and $883,000 of Level 3 securities were purchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

 

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.

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, which is recognized when the transaction has been completed. Insurance commission income includes commissions received from the brokerage of insurance policies and is recognized when the company has satisfied its performance obligation under the terms of the agreement.

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 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.

Active Interest Rate Swaps

 

In the third quarter of 2025, ChoiceOne entered into $30.4 million in amortizing pay-fixed/receive-floating rate swaps to hedge interest rate risk on approximately $40.6 million of newly purchased agency mortgage backed securities. The swap is designated as a fair value hedge and will amortize with the expected cash flow of the bonds and holds a coupon of 3.52% and a contractual term ending in 2040. A fair value basis adjustment associated with available-for-sale agency mortgage backed securities initially results in an adjustment to AOCI. For available-for-sale securities subject to fair value hedge accounting, the changes in the fair value of the agency mortgage backed securities related to the hedged risk (the benchmark interest rate component) are then reclassed from AOCI to current earnings offsetting the fair value measurement change of the interest rate swap, which is also recorded in current earnings. Net cash settlements are received/paid monthly, with the first starting in October 2025, and are included in interest income. Settlements on this swap increased interest income by $11,000 and $25,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and $8,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

 

Terminated Interest Rate Swaps

 

In 2022, ChoiceOne entered into one forward starting pay-fixed/receive-floating interest rate swap (the “Pay Fixed Swap Agreement”) for a notional amount of $200.0 million that was designated as a cash flow hedge. On February 6, 2025, ChoiceOne sold $50 million of the Pay Fixed Swap Agreement. This transaction resulted in a gain of approximately $3.6 million, which will be recognized through interest expense over the 7 years remaining on the life of the swap. On February 26, 2026, ChoiceOne sold the remaining $150 million of the Pay Fixed Swap Agreement, which resulted in a gain of approximately $4.6 million, which will be recognized through interest expense over the 6 years remaining on the life of the swap. Interest expense was reduced by net settlements and accretion from the gain on the sales of the Pay Fixed Swap Agreement which totaled $314,000 and $734,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively and $1.0 million and $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively.

 

In 2022, ChoiceOne entered into four pay-fixed/receive-floating interest rate swaps for a total notional amount of $201.0 million that were designated as fair value hedges. In January 2026, ChoiceOne sold these swaps, realizing a gain of $2.5 million, that will be applied to the basis of the hedged bonds. Settlements on these four pay-fixed/receive-floating interest rate swaps amounted to $37,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, with no future settlements. Settlements amounted to $510,000 and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.

Back to Back Loan Swaps

 

36


 

 

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, ChoiceOne 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.

 

The table below presents the notional and fair value of these derivative instruments as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

The fair value of interest rate swaps in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest was $3.7 million and $1.8 million as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. ChoiceOne has a master netting agreement with the correspondent bank and has the right to offset; however, ChoiceOne has elected to present the assets and liabilities on a gross basis. ChoiceOne is required to pledge collateral to the correspondent bank equal to or in excess of the net liability position. ChoiceOne's derivative liability with the correspondent banks was $0 and $1.7 million at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Cash pledged as collateral to the correspondent bank was $765,000 and $2.5 million at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Interest rate swaps entered into with commercial loan customers had notional amounts aggregating $92.8 million as of September 30, 2026 and $101.5 million at December 31, 2025. Associated credit exposure is generally mitigated by securing the interest rate swaps with the underlying collateral of the loan instrument that has been hedged.

As of September 30, 2026, ChoiceOne had no borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank, and had securities pledged with a carrying value of approximately $309.0 million and loans pledged with a carrying value of approximately $867.9 million. Based on this collateral, the Bank was eligible to borrow an additional $967.1 million at quarter end September 30, 2026 from the Federal Reserve Bank.

 

Advances from the FHLB were secured by residential real estate loans with a carrying value of approximately $627.7 million and no securities at September 30, 2026 and by residential real estate loans with a carrying value of approximately $610.9 million and no securities at December 31, 2025. Based on this collateral, the Bank was eligible to borrow an additional $162.4 million at September 30, 2026, compared to an additional $145.7 million at year-end 2025.


In June 2021, ChoiceOne obtained a $
20 million line of credit, subject to annual renewal. In June 2026, the line was renewed and reduced to $5 million.. The line carries a floating rate of prime rate with a floor of 3.25% and a rate of 7.00% at September 30, 2026 and a rate of 6.75% at December 31, 2025. The credit agreement includes certain financial covenants, including minimum capital ratios, asset quality ratios, and the requirements of achieving certain profitability thresholds. ChoiceOne was in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The line of credit had no outstanding balance at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

 

In February 2026, ChoiceOne obtained a $25 million FHLB overdraft line of credit with an annual renewal. Interest on overdrafts will be calculated using the FHLB variable advance rate and is accrued for outstanding advances on a daily basis, paid monthly. The overdraft line of credit had no outstanding balance at September 30, 2026.

NOTE 10 – Subordinated Debentures

ChoiceOne acquired trust preferred securities in the acquisition of Community Shores. The Capital Trust sold 4,500 Cumulative Preferred Securities (“trust preferred securities”) at $1,000 per security in a December 2004 offering. The proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities were used by the Capital Trust to purchase an equivalent amount of subordinated debentures from Community Shores. The trust preferred securities and subordinated debentures carry a floating rate of 2.05% over the 3-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate and the rate was 6.4% at September 30, 2026 and 6.00% at December 31, 2025. The stated maturity is December 30, 2034. Total trust preferred securities at September 30, 2026 were $3.6 million consisting of $4.5 million in trust preferred securities less $831,000 in merger fair value adjustments. The trust preferred securities are redeemable at par value on any interest payment date and are, in effect, guaranteed by ChoiceOne. Interest on the subordinated debentures is payable quarterly on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30. ChoiceOne is not considered the primary beneficiary of the Capital Trust (under the variable interest entity rules), therefore the Capital Trust is not consolidated in the consolidated financial statements, rather the subordinated debentures are shown as a liability, and the interest expense is recorded in the consolidated statement of income.

 

ChoiceOne acquired trust preferred securities in the merger with Fentura. Fentura Capital Trust I sold 12,000 Cumulative Preferred Securities at $1,000 per security in a December 2003 offering. The proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities were used by the Fentura Capital Trust I to purchase an equivalent amount of subordinated debentures from Fentura. The trust preferred securities and subordinated debentures carry a floating rate of 3.00% over the 3-month SOFR and the rate was 7.2% at September 30, 2026 and 7.0% at December 31, 2025. The stated maturity is December 15, 2033. Total trust preferred securities at September 30, 2026 were $10.9 million consisting of $12.0 million in trust preferred securities less $1.1 million in merger fair value adjustments, which is being amortized over 8 years. The trust preferred securities are redeemable at par value on any interest payment date and are, in effect, guaranteed by ChoiceOne. Interest on the subordinated debentures is payable quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15. ChoiceOne is not considered the primary beneficiary of the Fentura Capital Trust I, and the Fentura Capital Trust I is not consolidated in the consolidated financial statements. Rather, the subordinated debentures are shown as a liability, and the interest expense is recorded in the consolidated statement of income.

 

The Fentura Capital Trust II sold 2,000 Cumulative Preferred Securities at $1,000 per security in an August 2005 offering. The proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities were used by the Fentura Capital Trust II to purchase an equivalent amount of subordinated debentures from Fentura. The trust preferred securities and subordinated debentures carry a floating rate of 1.86% over the 3-month SOFR and the rate was 5.6% at September 30, 2026 and 5.7% at December 31, 2025. The stated maturity is November 23, 2035. Total trust preferred securities at September 30, 2026 were $1.6 million consisting of $2.0 million in trust preferred securities less $377,000 in merger fair value adjustments, which is being amortized over 10 years. The trust preferred securities are redeemable at par value on any interest payment date and are, in effect, guaranteed by ChoiceOne. Interest on the subordinated debentures is payable quarterly on February 23, May 23, August 23 and November 23. ChoiceOne is not considered the primary beneficiary of the Fentura Capital Trust II, and the Fentura Capital Trust II is not consolidated in the consolidated financial statements. Rather, the subordinated debentures are shown as a liability, and the interest expense is recorded in the consolidated statement of income.

 

The terms of the subordinated debentures, the trust preferred securities and the agreements under which they were issued give ChoiceOne the right, from time to time, to defer payment of interest for up to 20 consecutive quarters, unless certain specified events of default have

 

38


 

occurred and are continuing. The deferral of interest payments on the subordinated debentures results in the deferral of distributions on the trust preferred securities.

 

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. The notes will initially bear interest at a fixed interest rate of 3.25% per annum until September 3, 2026, after which time the interest rate will reset quarterly to a floating rate equal to a benchmark rate, which is expected to be the then current three-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 255 basis points until the notes’ maturity on September 3, 2031. The interest rate at September 30, 2026 was 6.4%. The notes mature on September 3, 2031, and are redeemable by ChoiceOne, in whole or in part currently at ChoiceOne's election. The notes have been structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital for ChoiceOne for regulatory capital purposes. ChoiceOne used a portion of net proceeds from the private placement to redeem senior debt, fund common stock repurchases, and support bank-level capital ratios.

NOTE 12 – BUSINESS COMBINATION

On March 1, 2025, ChoiceOne completed the Merger, in an all stock transaction, of Fentura, the former parent company of The State Bank, with and into ChoiceOne, with ChoiceOne surviving the Merger. The primary reason for the Merger was to expand ChoiceOne's market presence and enhance its financial strength by integrating Fentura's substantial customer base. On March 14, 2025, ChoiceOne Bank completed the consolidation of The State Bank with and into ChoiceOne Bank, with ChoiceOne Bank surviving the consolidation. Fentura had 20 branch offices and one loan production office as of the date of the Merger. Total assets acquired in the Merger were approximately $1.7 billion, including total loans of approximately $1.4 billion. Total deposits acquired in the Merger, the majority of which were core deposits, totaled approximately $1.4 billion. The Company recorded the estimated fair value based on assumptions related to discount rates, expected future cash flows, market condition and other future events that are subjective in nature. The impact of the Merger has been included in ChoiceOne’s results of operations since March 1, 2025. As consideration in the Merger, ChoiceOne issued 6,070,836 shares of ChoiceOne common stock with an approximate total value of $193.0 million. Transaction costs incurred after the merger date were primarily in salaries and employee benefits and legal and consulting fees in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, as well as a $12.0 million provision for credit losses.

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” or the "Company") 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) involve judgments that are inherently 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, 2025. 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.

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.

 

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

ChoiceOne reported net income of $14.5 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2026, and net income of $40.7 million, or $2.71 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2026, compared with net income of $14.7 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2025, and net income of $14.3 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, results were impacted by the Merger, which was completed during the first quarter of 2025. As of September 30, 2026, total assets were $4.5 billion, an increase of $162.2 million compared to September 30, 2025. The growth in total assets is primarily attributed to growth in core loans and warehouse mortgage advances.

 

41


 

Core loans, which exclude held for sale loans and mortgage warehouse advances, increased by $33.6 million or an annualized 4.4% during the third quarter of 2026 and grew by $145.4 million or 5.0% during the twelve months ended September 30, 2026. Loan interest income increased $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2026 and $894,000 compared to the third quarter of 2025. Interest income due to accretion from purchased loans was approximately $2.7 million during the third quarter of 2026 compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Interest income due to accretion from purchased loans increased GAAP net interest margin by 25 and 36 basis points in the third quarter of 2026 and the third quarter of 2025, respectively. Of the amount recognized in the third quarter of 2026, $1.9 million was calculated using the effective interest rate method of amortization, while the remaining $806,000 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 2026 and 2027 using the effective interest method of amortization is $1.8 million and $6.0 million, respectively; however, actual results will be dependent on prepayment speeds and other factors. It is estimated that a total of $45.3 million remains to be recognized as interest income due to accretion from purchased loans over the life of the purchased loans portfolio, with $22.0 million expected to be recognized using the effective interest method over the next five years.

 

Deposits, excluding brokered deposits, totaled $3.6 billion at September 30, 2026, an increase of $95.7 million from June 30, 2026, and an increase of $109.9 million from September 30, 2025. The growth during the quarter is primarily due to seasonal fluctuations related to municipal deposits and the timing of tax receipts, while growth year over year reflects steady growth in sustainable deposits. The increase from June 30, 2026 was primarily attributable to growth of $100.3 million in interest-bearing demand deposits and $8.6 million in savings deposits, partially offset by a $7.0 million decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits and a $6.2 million decrease in certificates of deposit. Growth in relationship-based deposits strengthened the balance sheet, improved liquidity, and reduced the Company's reliance on brokered deposits and other borrowed funds. Brokered deposits decreased $25.8 million during the third quarter of 2026 to $67.5 million, while borrowed funds decreased $60.0 million to $234.9 million. At September 30, 2026, 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 $1.3 billion or 35.0% of deposits at September 30, 2026.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the annualized cost of deposits decreased four basis points to 1.54% from 1.58% for the second quarter of 2026, while the annualized cost of funds decreased four basis points to 1.73% from 1.77%. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities also decreased four basis points to 2.28% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to June 30, 2026. These improvements were primarily due to deposit mix, as the average balance of lower cost liquid deposit balances were higher in the third quarter 2026 due to seasonality. Average brokered deposits decreased $68.1 million and average borrowings decreased $11.5 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2026.

 

ChoiceOne has improved its funding profile through growth in relationship-based deposits and reduced reliance on wholesale funding sources in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the third quarter of 2025. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, ChoiceOne's annualized cost of deposits declined to 1.54% from 1.57%, while annualized cost of funds decreased to 1.73% from 1.77%. Average brokered deposits declined $24.1 million and average certificates of deposit declined $32.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025, while average interest-bearing demand and savings deposits increased $113.2 million. This favorable deposit mix contributed to lower funding costs and enhanced ChoiceOne's net interest income performance.

 

ChoiceOne incurred a $900,000 provision for credit losses on loans during the third quarter of 2026, due to the increase in loan balances and $648,000 in net charge offs. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to total loans (excluding loans held for sale) was 1.16% on September 30, 2026 compared to 1.16% and 1.18% on June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Asset quality continues to remain strong, with annualized net loan charge-offs to average loans of 0.08% for the third quarter of 2026. Nonperforming loans to total loans (excluding loans held for sale) increased to 1.25% as of September 30, 2026 compared to 1.07% as of June 30, 2026. Notably, 0.40% of the nonperforming loans to total loans (excluding loans held for sale) is attributed to certain purchased loans which were identified prior to acquisition as having credit deterioration. Although nonperforming assets increased to $38.6 million at quarter end, the portfolio continues to benefit from meaningful credit protection. Approximately 35.5% of the loans are supported by SBA or USDA guarantees, and approximately 34.3% of nonperforming assets consist of residential real estate loans, where strong collateral values and ChoiceOne's historical loss experience have limited realized losses.

The annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average shareholders’ equity were 1.30% and 12.14%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2026, compared to 1.36% and 13.39%, respectively, for the same period in 2025. The annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average shareholders’ equity were 1.23% and 11.42%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30 2026, compared to 0.48% and 5.00%, respectively, for the same period in 2025.

 

Dividends

 

42


 

Cash dividends of $4.3 million or $0.29 per share were declared in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $4.2 million or $0.28 per share in the third quarter of 2025. The cash dividend payout percentage was 29.7% for the third quarter of 2026, compared to 28.6% in the same period in the prior year. Cash dividends declared in the first nine months of 2026 were $13.0 million or $0.87 per share, compared to $12.6 million or $0.84 per share in the same period during the prior year. The cash dividend payout percentage was 31.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. The Board of Directors’ determination of appropriate cash dividends will be based on, among other things, market conditions and ChoiceOne’s requirements for cash and capital.

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, 2026 and 2025. 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.

Adjusted to a fully tax-equivalent basis to facilitate comparison to the taxable interest-earning assets. The adjustment uses an incremental tax rate of 21%. The presentation of these measures on a tax-equivalent basis is not in accordance with GAAP, but is customary in the banking industry. These non-GAAP measures ensure comparability with respect to both taxable and tax-exempt loans and securities.
(2)
Taxable securities include dividend income from Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock.
(3)
Loans include both mortgage warehouse advances and loans held for sale.
(4)
Non-accruing loan balances are included in the balances of average loans. Non-accruing loan average balances were $33.8 million, $29.4 million, and $17.0 million in the third quarter of 2026, the second quarter of 2026 and the third quarter of 2025, respectively.

The volume variance is computed as the change in volume (average balance) multiplied by the previous year’s interest rate. The rate variance is computed as the change in interest rate multiplied by the previous year’s volume (average balance). The change in interest due to both volume and rate has been allocated to the volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

The change in interest due to both volume and rate has been allocated to the volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

Interest on nontaxable investment securities and loans has been adjusted to a fully tax-equivalent basis using an incremental tax rate of 21%.

 

Net Interest Income

Tax equivalent net interest income increased $806,000 to $38.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $38.0 million for the same period in 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, net interest income increased $11.5 million to $112.9 million compared to $101.4 million for the same period in 2025. The increase during both periods was driven primarily by growth in average earning assets, including loans and securities, and a lower cost funding base. These benefits were partially offset by lower yields on earning assets, principally due to the continuing decline in interest income due to accretion from purchased loans and the repricing of variable-rate loans in a lower interest rate environment.

 

GAAP net interest margin was 3.67% for the third quarter of 2026, compared to 3.73% for the third quarter of 2025. The six-basis-point decline was largely attributable to interest income due to accretion from purchased loans, which contributed approximately 25 basis points to the third quarter of 2026 net interest margin, compared to 36 basis points in the third quarter of 2025. Excluding the impact of interest income due to accretion from purchased loans, underlying margin performance improved by five basis points, as improvement in funding costs were offset by lower earning asset yields.

 

For the first nine months of 2026, GAAP net interest margin increased one basis point to 3.63% compared to the same period in 2025. The improvement was primarily driven by a reduction in funding costs and favorable changes in funding mix, including growth in interest-bearing demand deposits and savings deposits. Average earning assets increased $412.8 million, or 11.1% for the first nine months of 2026, compared to the prior-year period, while the annualized cost of deposits declined five basis points to 1.55% and the annualized cost of funds declined seven basis points to 1.74%.

 

The following table presents the annualized cost of deposits and the annualized cost of funds for the three months ended September 30, 2026, June 30, 2026 and September, 2025 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

Average loans increased $56.3 million during the third quarter of 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2026 and $126.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. The average yield on loans increased 4 basis points during the third quarter of 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2026, and decreased 15 basis points during the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decline in yield for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to lower interest income due to accretion from purchased loans and the repricing of variable-rate loans in a lower interest rate environment. Interest income due to accretion from purchased loans totaled $2.7 million during the third quarter of 2026, compared to $3.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, reducing the benefit to net interest margin to 25 basis points from 36 basis points in the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of September 30, 2026, approximately $45.3 million of interest income due to accretion from purchased loans remained to be recognized over the life of the purchased loan portfolio.

Interest income on securities increased $243,000 and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher average securities balances, which increased $30.4 million and $50.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. Average securities balances increased as the Company redeployed excess liquidity into agency mortgage-backed securities and other investment securities. The average yield earned on securities increased approximately 1 basis point to 2.86% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to 2.85% for the same period in 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the average yield earned on securities increased approximately 6 basis points to 2.84% compared to 2.78% for the same period in 2025. Securities income and yields continued to be impacted by lower cash settlements from interest rate swaps that matured or were terminated during late 2025 and early 2026 and had previously provided additional income on portions of the securities portfolio.

 

Deposits and borrowings continued to provide stable funding for balance sheet growth while benefiting from the repricing of liabilities in a lower interest rate environment. Average interest-bearing deposits increased during both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2026, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, led by growth in interest-bearing demand and savings deposits. As a result, the annualized cost of deposits decreased to 1.54% for the third quarter of 2026 from 1.57% in the third quarter of 2025 and to 1.55% for the first nine months of 2026 from 1.60% in the comparable prior-year period.

Interest expense on borrowings and subordinated debentures increased $204,000 and $607,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, respectively. Average balance of borrowings and subordinated debentures increased $40.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year, which was offset by a 52 basis point decrease in rate for borrowings and a 29 basis point increase in rate for subordinated debentures during that same time period. Average balance of borrowings and subordinated debentures increased $47.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year, which was offset by a 65 basis point decrease in rate for borrowings and a 13 basis point increase in rate for subordinated debentures during that same time period.

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, 2025.

ChoiceOne incurred a $900,000 provision for credit losses on loans during the third quarter of 2026, due to the increase in loan balances and $648,000 in net charge offs. The provision for credit losses on loans was $1.5 million for the first nine months of 2026 compared to $14.0 million in the same period in 2025. 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.

 

The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to total loans (excluding loans held for sale) was 1.16% on September 30, 2026 compared to 1.16% and 1.18% on June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Asset quality continues to remain strong, with annualized net loan charge-offs to average loans of 0.08% for the third quarter of 2026. Nonperforming loans to total loans (excluding loans held for sale) increased to 1.25% as of September 30, 2026 compared to 1.07% as of June 30, 2026. Notably, 0.40% of the nonperforming loans to total loans (excluding loans held for sale) is attributed to certain purchased loans which were identified prior to acquisition as having credit deterioration. Although nonperforming loans increased to $38.6 million at September 30, 2026, the portfolio continues to benefit from meaningful credit protection. Approximately 35.5% of the loans are supported by SBA or USDA guarantees, and approximately 34.3% of nonperforming assets consist of residential real estate loans, where strong collateral values and the Bank's historical loss experience have limited realized losses. The liability for expected credit losses on unfunded loans and other commitments was $1.3 million for both September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

 

Charge-offs and recoveries for respective loan categories for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

Net charge-offs were $1.0 million during the first nine months of 2026, compared to net charge-offs of $734,000 during the same period in 2025. Net charge-offs for checking accounts during the first nine months of 2026 were $295,000 compared to $206,000 for the same period in the prior year. Annualized net loan charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.08% for the third quarter of 2026 compared to 0.03% for the same period in the prior year.

 

Noninterest Income

 

Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was $6.8 million, a decrease of $389,000, from $7.1 million for the third quarter of 2025. The year-over-year decrease was primarily attributable to a $309,000 loss on other assets during the third quarter of 2026 compared to a $39,000 loss in the third quarter of 2025, and an unrealized loss on the market value of equity securities of $156,000 during the third quarter of 2026 compared to a gain of $458,000 in the third quarter of 2025, due to a CRA bond mutual fund whose fair value is impacted by higher long term interest rates. These two items decreased 2026 third quarter earnings by approximately $0.03 per fully diluted share. Compared with the second quarter of 2026, noninterest income increased $1.8 million, primarily due to the absence of the $1.9 million loss on the sale of securities recognized in the second quarter of 2026. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, noninterest income decreased $1.1 million to $17.5 million compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to

losses on sales of securities and unfavorable changes in the market value of equity securities, partially offset by growth in customer service charges, interchange income, and insurance and investment commissions.

 

 

 

Noninterest Expense

 

Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2026 increased $330,000 to $26.5 million, compared to the third quarter of 2025. The increase primarily reflected higher salaries and benefits and data processing expenses, partially offset by lower intangible amortization, occupancy and equipment expense, and lower other operating expenses. Compared with the second quarter of 2026, noninterest expense increased $494,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, noninterest expense decreased $9.0 million compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to the absence of $17.4 million of merger-related expenses. Excluding those merger-related expenses, the year-over-year increase primarily reflected higher salaries and benefits and other operating costs associated with the Company’s expanded operations.

Income Tax Expense

 

Income tax expense was $3.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2026 and $8.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to income tax expense of $3.6 million and $3.1 million for the same periods in 2025. The tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was reduced by the loss in the first quarter of 2025 due to expenses related to the Merger. The effective tax rate was 18.0% and 17.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, compared to 19.9% and 17.8% for the same periods in 2025. ChoiceOne’s tax expense for the first nine months of 2026 was reduced by $600,000 as a result of purchasing a transferable tax credit that will be applied to 2026 income taxes. Depending on market conditions, management intends to purchase additional transferable tax credits in the remainder of 2026 to reduce tax expense.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

At September 30, 2026, ChoiceOne had consolidated total assets of $4.5 billion, net loans of $3.1 billion, total deposits (excluding brokered deposits) of $3.6 billion and total shareholders' equity of $469.8 million. Asset growth during the first nine months of 2026 was primarily due to growth in the loan portfolio and increases in the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance, partially offset by decreases in investment securities. The Company’s balance sheet is well-positioned to support continued lending activity, customer deposit relationships, and overall liquidity needs.

Securities

On September 30, 2026, total available‑for‑sale securities ("AFS securities") were $527.3 million, compared to $554.4 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by the decline in the fair value of securities due to the increase in long term rates during the first nine months of 2026. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, ChoiceOne purchased $55.3 million of AFS securities, partially offset by sales of $29.5 million, and maturities, paydowns and calls of $23.9 million.

Total held to maturity securities on September 30, 2026 were $376.6 million compared to $385.2 million on December 31, 2025. ChoiceOne's held to maturity securities declined during the first nine months of 2026 due to principal repayments, calls and maturities, which was offset by the purchase of $2.6 million of securities during the first nine months of 2026.

 

At September 30, 2026, ChoiceOne had $129.4 million in gross unrealized losses on its investment securities, including $76.4 million in unrealized losses on available for sale securities, $52.3 million in unrealized losses on held to maturity securities, and $730,000 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 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.

 

Equity securities included a money market preferred security of $1.0 million and common stock of $8.4 million as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

 

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.

Core loans, which exclude held for sale loans and mortgage warehouse advances, increased by $89.8 million or an annualized 4.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Of this growth, approximately $40.0 million was due to a purchase of seasoned, high quality adjustable rate mortgages from another community bank made during the second quarter of 2026. ChoiceOne also generated growth in key commercial loan categories during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, with commercial and industrial loans

 

51


 

increasing $50.1 million and owner-occupied commercial real estate loans increasing $43.3 million. These increases were partially offset by declines of $46.2 million in multifamily loans and $18.6 million in non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loans.

 

Mortgage warehouse advances decreased by $16.8 million as of September 30, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025. Mortgage warehouse advances 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 Bank Corporation in 2020, and Fentura in 2025, which resulted in the recognition of goodwill of $13.7 million, $38.9 million, $7.3 million and $69.9 million, respectively.

 

ChoiceOne conducted an annual assessment of goodwill as of June 30, 2026 and no impairment was identified.

Deposits and Borrowings

 

Deposits, excluding brokered deposits, increased by $109.2 million as of September 30, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025. The growth during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 is a mix of seasonal fluctuations related to municipal deposits and the timing of tax receipts and growth in sustainable deposits. Deposits, excluding brokered deposits, grew $95.7 million during the third quarter of 2026 compared to June 30, 2026, which was primarily attributable to growth of $100.3 million in interest-bearing demand deposits and $8.6 million in savings deposits, partially offset by a $7.0 million decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits and a $6.2 million decrease in certificates of deposit. ChoiceOne continues to be proactive in managing its liquidity position by using brokered deposits and short-term FHLB advances to ensure ample liquidity. Brokered deposits declined $37.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and the total balance of borrowed funds declined $29.9 million during that same time period.

 

Total funds borrowed from the FHLB were $235.0 million at a weighted average rate of 4.01%, with $215.0 million due within 12 months at September 30, 2026. At September 30, 2026, 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 $1.3 billion or 35.0% of deposits at September 30, 2026.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the annualized cost of deposits decreased four basis points to 1.54% from 1.58% for the second quarter of 2026, while the annualized cost of funds decreased four basis points to 1.73% from 1.77%. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities also decreased four basis points to 2.28% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to June 30, 2026. These improvements were primarily due to deposit mix, as the average balance of lower cost liquid deposit balances were higher in the third quarter due to seasonality. Average brokered deposits decreased $68.1 million and average borrowings decreased $11.5 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2026.

 

ChoiceOne has improved its funding profile through growth in relationship-based deposits in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the third quarter of 2025. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, ChoiceOne's annualized cost of deposits declined to 1.54% from 1.57%, while annualized cost of funds decreased to 1.73% from 1.77%. Average brokered deposits declined $24.1 million and average certificates of deposit declined $32.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025, while average interest-bearing demand and savings deposits increased $113.2 million. This favorable deposit mix contributed to lower funding costs and enhanced ChoiceOne's net interest income performance.

ChoiceOne recognized a core deposit intangible of $31.0 million related to the Merger in the first quarter of 2025. 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 $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

 

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 $16.2 million in subordinated debentures that were obtained in the acquisition of Community Shores Bank Corporation and the Merger, offset by the merger mark-to-market adjustment.

Shareholders' Equity

 

At September 30, 2026, shareholders’ equity totaled $469.8 million, compared with $482.7 million at June 30, 2026 and $449.6 million at September 30, 2025. The decline in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2026 was primarily attributable to a $22.3 million decline in accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from the effect of higher long-term interest rates on the fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio, partially offset by third-quarter earnings. ChoiceOne repurchased 40,000 and 125,000 shares of stock for a net cost of $1.3 million and $3.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, under its existing share repurchase plan. The repurchase reflects management’s continued confidence in the Company’s capital position and its commitment to enhancing long-term shareholder value. ChoiceOne Bank continues to be “well-capitalized,” with a total risk-based capital ratio of 12.9% as of September 30, 2026, compared to 12.8% on September 30, 2025.

Liquidity

Net cash provided by operating activities was $45.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $17.8 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher net income and the absence of merger-related costs incurred during same period in the prior year and an increase in other liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Net cash used in investing activities was $63.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $224.9 million for the same period in 2025. Investing cash flows in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were significantly impacted by the Merger, including $173.1 million of cash acquired from The State Bank and the increase in cash from the sale of securities available for sale acquired in the Merger. In addition, net loan originations and payments, including purchases of loan pools, used $63.4 million of cash during the first nine months of 2026, compared to providing $25.5 million of cash during the same period in 2025.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $25.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $240.5 million for the same period in 2025. Deposits increased $71.7 million during the first nine months of 2026, compared to a decrease of $79.0 million during the same period in 2025. The increase in deposits during 2026 reflected organic deposit growth and seasonal fluctuations in municipal deposits. Borrowings decreased $30.0 million during the first nine months of 2026, compared to a decrease of $147.2 million during the same period in 2025.

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 $235.0 million in outstanding borrowings from the FHLB at a weighted average fixed rate of 4.01% with $215.0 million due within 12 months as of September 30, 2026. ChoiceOne had $67.5 million in brokered deposits on September 30, 2026. The acceptance of brokered deposits is not limited as long as the Bank is categorized as “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. At September 30, 2026, 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, 2026. 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 three months ended September 30, 2026 that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, ChoiceOne’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

There are no material pending legal proceedings to which ChoiceOne or ChoiceOne Bank is a party or to which any of their properties are subject, except for proceedings that arose in the ordinary course of business.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Information concerning risk factors is contained in the discussion in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in ChoiceOne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in ChoiceOne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

There were no unregistered sales of equity securities in the third quarter of 2026.

 

ChoiceOne’s common stock repurchase plan announced in April 2021 and amended in 2022 authorizes the repurchase of up to 375,388 shares, representing 5% of the total outstanding shares of common stock as of the date the repurchase plan was adopted. ChoiceOne repurchased 40,000 shares of stock for a net cost of $1.3 million during the third quarter of 2026 and 125,000 shares of stock for a net cost of $3.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 under the repurchase plan. The repurchase plan has 225,272 shares remaining to purchase as of September 30, 2026. There was no stated expiration date. The repurchase reflects our view that our capital position is healthy and the repurchase of shares is in the best interest of our shareholders.
