NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation SX. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2025, has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. Operating results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. For additional information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s June 30, 2025, Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Note 2: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization. Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc., a Missouri corporation (the Company) was organized in 1994 and is the parent company of Southern Bank (the Bank). Substantially all of the Company’s consolidated revenues are derived from the operations of the Bank, and the Bank represents substantially all of the Company’s consolidated assets and liabilities. The Bank has
The Bank is primarily engaged in providing a full range of banking and financial services to individuals and corporate customers in its market areas. The Bank and Company are subject to competition from other financial institutions. The Bank and Company are subject to the regulation of certain federal and state agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and general practices within the banking industry. In the normal course of business, the Company encounters two significant types of risk: economic and regulatory. Economic risk is comprised of interest rate risk, credit risk, and market risk. The Company is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-bearing liabilities reprice on a different basis than its interest-earning assets. Credit risk is the risk of default on the Company’s investment or loan portfolios resulting from the borrowers’ inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk reflects changes in the value of the investment portfolio, collateral underlying loans receivable, and the value of the Company’s investments in real estate.
Regulatory risk is comprised of extensive state and federal laws and regulations designed primarily to protect consumers, depositors, and deposit insurance funds rather than stockholders. Changes in these regulations, actions by supervisory
-8-
Table of Contents
authorities, or significant litigation could impose operational restrictions, require substantial compliance resources, and/or result in penalties that may negatively impact our business and stockholder value.
Principles of Consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash, due from depository institutions, interest-bearing deposits in other depository institutions, and securities purchased under agreements to resell with original maturities of three months or less. Interest-bearing deposits in other depository institutions were $
Interest-Bearing Time Deposits. Interest bearing time deposits in banks mature within
Available for Sale Securities. Available for sale securities (AFS), which include any security for which the Company has no immediate plan to sell but which may be sold in the future, are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of stockholders’ equity. All securities have been classified as available for sale.
Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized or accreted as adjustments to income over the estimated life of the security using the level yield method. Realized gains or losses on the sale of securities is based on the specific identification method. The fair value of securities is based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.
For AFS securities with fair value less than amortized cost that management has no intent to sell and believes that it more likely than not will not be required to sell prior to recovery, only the credit loss component of the impairment is recognized in earnings, while the noncredit loss is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The credit loss component recognized in earnings is identified as the amount of principal cash flows not expected to be received over the remaining term of the security as projected based on cash flow projections, and is recorded to the Allowance for Credit Losses (ACL), by a charge to provision for credit losses. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Both the ACL and the adjustment to net income may be reversed if conditions change. However, if the Company intends to sell an impaired AFS security, or, if it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell such a security before recovering its amortized cost basis, the entire impairment amount would be recognized in earnings with a corresponding adjustment to the security’s amortized cost basis. Because the security’s amortized cost basis is adjusted to fair value, there is no ACL in this situation.
The Company evaluates impaired AFS securities at the individual level on a quarterly basis, and considers factors including, but not limited to: the extent to which the fair value of the security is less than the amortized cost basis; adverse conditions specifically related to the security, an industry, or geographic area; the payment structure of the security and likelihood of the issuer to be able to make payments that may increase in the future; failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments; any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency; and the ability and intent to hold the security until maturity. A qualitative determination as to whether any portion of the
-9-
Table of Contents
impairment is attributable to credit risk is acceptable. There were no credit-related factors underlying unrealized losses on AFS securities at September 30, 2025, or June 30, 2025.
Changes in the ACL are recorded as expense. Losses are charged against the ACL when management believes the uncollectability of an AFS debt security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.
Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank Stock. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve and the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) systems. Capital stock of the Federal Reserve and the FHLB is a required investment of the Bank based upon a predetermined formula and is carried at cost.
Loans Held for Sale. Loans expected to be sold are classified as held for sale in the consolidated financial statements and are recorded at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value, taking into consideration future commitments to sell the loans.
Loans. Loans are generally stated at unpaid principal balances, less the ACL, any net deferred loan origination fees, and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.
Interest on loans is accrued based upon the principal amount outstanding. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in management’s judgment, the collectability of interest or principal in the normal course of business is doubtful. The Company complies with regulatory guidance which indicates that loans should be placed in nonaccrual status when 90 days past due, unless the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection. A loan that is “in the process of collection” may be subject to legal action or, in appropriate circumstances, through other collection efforts reasonably expected to result in repayment or restoration to current status in the near future. A loan is considered delinquent when a payment has not been made by the contractual due date. Interest income previously accrued but not collected at the date a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed against interest income. Because of this, accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Cash receipts on a nonaccrual loan are applied to principal and interest in accordance with its contractual terms unless full payment of principal is not expected, in which case cash receipts, whether designated as principal or interest, are applied as a reduction of the carrying value of the loan. A nonaccrual loan is generally returned to accrual status when principal and interest payments are current, full collectability of principal and interest is reasonably assured, and a consistent record of performance has been demonstrated.
The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans, and is established through provision for credit losses charged against current earnings. The ACL is increased by the provision for losses on loans charged to expense and reduced by loans charged off, net of recoveries. Loans are charged off in the period deemed uncollectible, based on management’s analysis of expected cash flows (for non-collateral dependent loans) or collateral value (for collateral-dependent loans). Subsequent recoveries of loans previously charged off, if any, are credited to the allowance when received.
Management estimates the ACL using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Adjustments may be made to historical loss information for differences identified in current loan-specific risk characteristics identified below in the qualitative factors. The Company generally incorporates a reasonable and supportable forecast period of four quarters, and thereafter immediately reverts to long-term historical averages.
The ACL is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. For loans that do not share general risk characteristics with the collectively evaluated pools, the Company estimates credit losses on an individual loan basis, and these loans are excluded from the collectively evaluated pools. An ACL for an individually evaluated loan is recorded when the amortized cost basis of the loan exceeds the discounted estimated cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate or the fair value, less estimated costs to sell, of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. For the collectively evaluated pools, the Company segments the loan portfolio primarily by loan purpose and collateral into

method, as the uncollectible accrued interest receivable balance is written off within 90 days. The DCF model implements probability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD) calculations at the instrument level. PD and LGD are determined based on a regression analysis and correlation of historical losses with various economic factors over time. In general, the Company’s losses have not correlated well with economic factors, and the Company has utilized peer data where more appropriate. The Company defines a default in the ACL methodology, as an event of charge off, an adverse (substandard or worse) internal credit rating on most loan types, except agriculture production and agriculture real estate (watch or worse), becoming delinquent 90 days or more, being modified for experiencing financial difficulty, or being placed on nonaccrual status. A PD/LGD estimate is applied to a projected model of the loan’s cashflow, including principal and interest payments, with consideration for prepayment speeds, principal curtailments, and recovery lag.
As part of the CECL methodology, the Company incorporates qualitative adjustments to the ACL calculation to capture credit risks inherent within the loan portfolio that are not captured in the DCF model.
The qualitative adjustments considered include internal factors such as:
| ● | Lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards, collection, charge-off, and recovery practices. |
| ● | Nature and volume of the portfolio and term of loans. |
| ● | Experience, depth, and ability of lending management. |
| ● | Volume and severity of past due loans and other similar conditions. |
| ● | Quality of the organization's review system. |
| ● | Existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the levels of concentrations. |
Qualitative adjustments considered also include external factors such as:
| ● | Value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans. |
| ● | International, national, regional and local conditions, if not adequately addressed through the modeled loss factors. |
| ● | Effect of other external factors such as competition, legal and regulatory requirements. |
Loans acquired in a business combination that have experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination are considered purchased credit deteriorated (PCD) loans. At the acquisition date, an estimate of expected credit losses is made for groups of PCD loans with similar risk characteristics and individual PCD loans without similar risk characteristics. This initial ACL is allocated to individual PCD loans and added to the purchase price or acquisition date fair values to establish the initial amortized cost basis of the PCD loans. As the initial ACL is added to the purchase price, there is no credit loss expense recognized upon acquisition of a PCD loan. Any difference between the unpaid principal balance of PCD loans and the amortized cost basis is considered to relate to non-credit factors and results in a discount or premium. Discounts and premiums are recognized through interest income on a level-yield method over the life of the loans.
Loan fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred, and the net fee or cost is recognized as an adjustment to interest income using the interest method over the contractual life of the loans.
Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures. Off-balance sheet credit instruments include commitments to make loans, and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for off-balance sheet loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. The ACL for off-balance sheet credit exposures is estimated by loan pool on a quarterly basis under the current CECL model using the same methodologies as portfolio loans, taking into consideration the likelihood that funding will occur and is included in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company records an ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures, unless the commitments to extend credit are unconditionally cancelable.
Foreclosed Real Estate. Real estate acquired by foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs, establishing a new cost basis. Any costs for development and improvement of the property that are warranted are capitalized.

Table of Contents
Valuations are periodically performed by management, and an allowance for losses is established by a charge against income if the carrying value of a property exceeds its estimated fair value, less estimated selling costs.
Loans to facilitate the sale of real estate acquired in foreclosure are discounted if made at less than market rates. Discounts are amortized over the fixed interest period of each loan using the interest method.
Premises and Equipment. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and include expenditures for major betterments and renewals. Maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. When property is retired or sold, the retired asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss taken into income. The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment loss recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Depreciation is computed by use of straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated lives are generally seven to
Bank Owned Life Insurance. Bank owned life insurance policies are reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at the estimated cash surrender value. Changes in the cash surrender value of these policies, as well as a portion of the insurance proceeds received, are recorded in noninterest income in the condensed consolidated statements of income.
Goodwill. The Company’s goodwill is evaluated annually for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. A qualitative assessment is performed to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying amount, including goodwill. If, based on the evaluation, it is determined to be more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying value, then goodwill is tested further for impairment. If the implied fair value of goodwill is lower than its carrying amount, a goodwill impairment is indicated and goodwill is written down to its implied fair value. Subsequent increases in goodwill value are not recognized in the financial statements. As of June 30, 2025, the date of the Company’s annual test, there was
Intangible Assets. The Company’s intangible assets at September 30, 2025 included gross core deposit intangibles of $
The Company records mortgage servicing rights (MSR) at fair value for all mortgage loans sold on a servicing retained basis with subsequent adjustments to fair value of MSR in accordance with FASB ASC 860. An estimate of the fair value of the Company’s MSR is determined utilizing assumptions about factors such as mortgage interest rates, discount rates, mortgage loan prepayment speeds, market trends and industry demand. Changes in the fair value of MSR are recorded in loan servicing fees in the consolidated statements of income.
Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance (ASC 740, Income Taxes). The income tax accounting guidance results in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or
-12-
Table of Contents
liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur.
Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, on income taxes as a component of income tax expense.
The Company files consolidated income tax returns with its subsidiaries, the Bank and SB Real Estate Investments, LLC, with a tax year ended June 30. Southern Bank Real Estate Investments, LLC files a separate REIT return for federal tax purposes, and also files state income tax returns, with a tax year ended December 31.
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate swaps, to manage interest rate risk, facilitate asset/liability management strategies and manage other exposures. The Company’s derivative financial instruments also include interest swap contracts which are not designated as hedging instruments, executed with customers to assist them in managing their interest rate risk while executing offsetting interest rate swaps with an upstream counterparty. Derivative instruments are accounted pursuant to ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, which requires companies to recognize derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. All derivative financial instruments are recognized as other assets or other liabilities, as applicable, at estimated fair value. The change in each of these financial statement line items is included as operating cash flows in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company does not speculate using derivative instruments. Derivative financial instruments are more fully described in Note 13.
Non-Employee Directors’ Retirement. The Bank entered into directors’ retirement agreements beginning in April 1994 for non-employee directors and continued to do so for new non-employee directors joining the Bank’s board through December 2014. These directors’ retirement agreements provide that each participating non-employee director (participant) shall receive, upon termination of service on the Board on or after age 60, other than termination for cause, a benefit in equal annual installments over a
In the event that the participant dies before collecting any or all of the benefits, the Bank shall pay the participant’s beneficiary. Benefits shall not be payable to anyone other than the beneficiary, and shall terminate on the death of the beneficiary.
Stock Options. Compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments issued, and recognized over the vesting period during which an employee provides service in exchange for the award.

Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share available to common stockholders is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share available to common stockholders includes the effect of all weighted-average dilutive potential common shares (stock options and restricted stock grants) outstanding during each period.
Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on available-for-sale securities, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on available-for-sale securities for which a credit loss has been recognized in income, and changes in the funded status of defined benefit pension plans.
Transfers Between Fair Value Hierarchy Levels. Transfers in and out of Level 1 (quoted market prices), Level 2 (other significant observable inputs) and Level 3 (significant unobservable inputs) are recognized on the period ending date.
New Accounting Pronouncements:
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” The amendments in this update improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. The amendments in this update do not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The amendments of this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this ASU for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2024, and the accounting and disclosure of this ASU did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740)”. ASU 2023-09 was issued to address requests by investors and creditors for enhanced transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. Public business entities (PBEs) would be required to prepare an annual detailed, tabular tax rate reconciliation. All other entities would be required to provide qualitative disclosure on specific categories and individual jurisdictions that result in significant differences between the statutory and effective tax rates. All entities would be required to annually disclose taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes, as well as disaggregating taxes by individual jurisdiction if taxes paid exceed 5% of total income taxes paid. The ASU is effective for PBEs for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-09.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)”. ASU 2024-03 was issued to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales, SG&A, and research and development). The ASU is effective for

The Company’s lending activities consist of originating loans secured by mortgages on one- to four-family residences and commercial and agricultural real estate, construction loans on residential and commercial properties, commercial and agricultural business loans and consumer loans. At September 30, 2025, the Bank had purchased participations in
1-4 Family Residential Real Estate Lending. The Company actively originates loans for the acquisition or refinance of one- to four-family residences. This category includes both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) loans amortizing over periods of up to
Home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) are secured with a deed of trust and are generally issued up to
Non-Owner Occupied and Owner Occupied Commercial Real Estate Lending. The Company actively originates loans secured by owner- and non-owner-occupied commercial real estate including single- and multi-tenant retail properties, restaurants, hotels, land (improved and unimproved), nursing homes and other healthcare facilities, warehouses and distribution centers, convenience stores, automobile dealerships and other automotive-related services, and other businesses. These properties are typically owned and operated by borrowers headquartered within the Company’s primary lending area; however, the property may be located outside the Company’s primary lending area. Risks to owner-occupied commercial real estate lending generally include the continued profitable operation of the borrower’s enterprise, as well as general collateral values, and may be heightened by unique, specific uses of the property serving as collateral. Non-owner-occupied commercial real estate lending risks include tenant demand and performance, lease rates, and vacancies, as well as collateral values and borrower leverage. These factors may be influenced by general economic conditions in the region, or in the United States generally.
Most commercial real estate loans originated by the Company generally are based on amortization schedules of up to
Multi-Family Real Estate Lending. The Company originates loans secured by multi-family residential properties that are often located outside the Company’s primary lending area but made to borrowers who operate within the Company’s primary market area. The majority of the multi-family residential loans that are originated by the Company are amortized over periods generally up to
Construction and Land Development Lending. The Company originates real estate loans secured by property or land that is under construction or development. Construction and land development loans originated by the Company are generally to finance the construction of owner occupied residential real estate, or to finance speculative construction of residential real estate, land development, or owner-operated or non-owner occupied commercial real estate. During construction, these loans typically require monthly interest-only payments, with single-family residential construction loans having maturities ranging from six to

While the Company typically utilizes relatively short maturity periods to closely monitor the inherent risks associated with construction loans for these loans, weather conditions, change orders, availability of materials and/or labor, and other factors may contribute to the lengthening of a project, thus necessitating the need to renew the construction loan at the balloon maturity. Such extensions are typically executed in incremental
Agriculture Production and Agriculture Real Estate Lending. Agriculture production and agriculture real estate loans are generally comprised of seasonal operating lines to farmers to plant crops and term loans to fund the purchase of equipment, farmland, or livestock. Agricultural real estate loans generally include loans secured by row crop ground, pasture, and forestry. The Company originates substantially all agriculture production and agriculture real estate lending to borrowers headquartered in the Company’s primary lending area. Specific underwriting standards have been established for agricultural-related loans including the establishment of projections for each operating year based on industry developed estimates of farm input costs and expected commodity yields and prices. Agriculture production operating lines are typically written for
Commercial and Industrial Lending. The Company’s commercial and industrial lending activities encompass loans with a variety of purposes and security, including loans to finance accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and operating lines of credit. The Company offers both fixed and adjustable rate commercial and industrial loans. Generally, commercial loans secured by fixed assets are amortized over periods up to
Consumer Lending. The Company offers a variety of secured consumer loans, direct and indirect automobile loans, recreational vehicle loans and loans secured by deposits. The Company originates substantially all of its consumer loans in its primary lending area. Usually, consumer loans are originated with fixed rates for terms of up to
Automobile loans originated by the Company include both direct loans and a smaller amount of loans originated by auto dealers. Typically, automobile loans are made for terms of up to
Allowance for Credit Losses. The ACL represents the Company’s best estimate of the reserve necessary to adequately account for probable losses expected over the remaining contractual life of the assets. The provision for credit losses (PCL) is the charge against current earnings that is determined by the Company as the amount needed to maintain an adequate ACL. In determining the adequacy of the ACL, and therefore the provision to be charged to current earnings, the Company relies primarily on a disciplined credit review and approval process that extends to the full range of the Company’s credit exposure. The review process is directed by the overall lending policy and is intended to identify, at the earliest possible stage, borrowers who might be facing financial difficulty. Factors considered by the Company in developing assumptions for the allowance include historical net credit losses, the level and composition of nonaccrual, past due and modified loans, trends in volumes and terms of loans, effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting

standards or lending practices, lending staff changes, concentrations of credit, industry conditions and the current economic conditions in the region where the Company operates.
Individually Evaluated Loans. The Company individually evaluates certain loans for impairment. In general, these loans have been internally identified through the Company’s loan grading system as credits requiring management’s attention due to underlying problems in the borrower’s business or collateral concerns. This evaluation considers expected future cash flows, the value of collateral and other factors that may impact the borrower’s ability to make payments when due. The reviews use one of the three following alternatives: (1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (2) the loan’s observable market price, if available; or (3) the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell for collateral dependent loans and loans for which foreclosure is deemed to be probable. A specific allowance is assigned when expected cash flows or collateral values are less than the carrying amount of the loan. The carrying value of the loan reflects reductions from prior charge-offs. The ACL for individually evaluated loans totaled $
Non-Individually Evaluated (Pooled) Loans. Non-individually evaluated (pooled) loans comprise the majority of the Company’s total loan portfolio and include loans that were not individually evaluated. The Company primarily utilizes the discounted cash flow (DCF) methodology for measurement of the required ACL. For a limited number of pools with a relatively small balance of unpaid principal, the Company utilizes the remaining life method. The DCF model implements probability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD) calculations at the instrument level. PD and LGD are determined based on a regression analysis and correlation of historical losses with various economic factors over time. In general, the Company’s losses have not correlated well with economic factors, and the Company has utilized peer data where more appropriate. A PD/LGD estimate is applied to a projected model of the loan’s cashflow, including principal and interest payments, with consideration for prepayment speeds, principal curtailments, and recovery lag. The ACL for non-individually evaluated (pooled) loans totaled $
Qualitative factors. In addition to the CECL methodology, the Company incorporates qualitative adjustments into the ACL on loans to capture credit risks inherent within the loan portfolio that are not captured in the DCF model.
PCD Loans. Acquired loans are recorded at their fair value at the time of acquisition with no carryover from the acquired institution’s previously recorded allowance for loan and lease losses. Acquired loans are accounted for under ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.
The fair value of acquired loans recorded at the time of acquisition is based upon several factors, including the timing and payment of expected cash flows, as adjusted for estimated credit losses and prepayments, and then discounting these cash flows using comparable market rates. The resulting fair value adjustment is recorded in the form of a premium or discount to the unpaid principal balance of the respective loans. As it relates to acquired loans that, as of the date of acquisition, have experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination (“PCD”), the net premium or net discount is adjusted to reflect the Company’s ACL recorded for PCD loans at the time of acquisition, and the remaining fair value adjustment is accreted or amortized into interest income over the remaining life of the respective loans. As it relates to loans not classified as PCD (non-PCD) loans, the credit loss and yield components of their fair value adjustment are aggregated, and the resulting net premium or net discount is accreted or amortized into interest income over the remaining life of the respective loans. The Company records an ACL for non-PCD loans at the time of acquisition through provision expense, and therefore, no further adjustments are made to the net premium or net discount for non-PCD loans.

Credit Quality Indicators. The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on all loans at origination, and is updated on a quarterly basis for loans risk rated Watch, Special Mention, Substandard, or Doubtful. A sample of lending relationships are subject to an independent loan review annually, in order to verify risk ratings. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Watch – Loans classified as watch exhibit weaknesses that require more than usual monitoring. Issues may include deteriorating financial condition, payments made after due date but within 30 days, adverse industry conditions or management problems.
Special Mention – Loans classified as special mention exhibit signs of further deterioration but still generally make payments within 30 days. This is a transitional rating and loans should typically not be rated Special Mention for more than 12 months.
Substandard – Loans classified as substandard possess weaknesses that jeopardize the ultimate collection of the principal and interest outstanding. These loans may exhibit continued financial losses, ongoing delinquency, overall poor financial condition, and insufficient collateral.
Doubtful – Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses of substandard loans, and have deteriorated to the level that there is a high probability of substantial loss.
Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be Pass rated loans.

Table of Contents
A periodic review of selected credits (based on loan size and type) is conducted to identify loans with heightened risk or probable losses and to assign risk grades. The primary responsibility for this review rests with loan administration personnel. This review is supplemented with periodic examinations of both selected credits and the credit review process by the Company’s internal audit function and applicable regulatory agencies. The information from these reviews assists management in the timely identification of problems and potential problems and provides a basis for deciding whether the credit continues to share similar risk characteristics with collectively evaluated loan pools, or whether credit losses for the loan should be evaluated on an individual loan basis.
The following table presents the credit risk profile of the Company’s loan portfolio based on rating category and fiscal year of origination as of September 30, 2025. This table includes PCD loans, which are reported according to risk categorization after acquisition based on the Company’s standards for such classification:

At September 30, 2025, there were
Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not adversely classified or determined to not share similar risk characteristics with collectively evaluated pools of loans for determination of the ACL estimate. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Significant payment delays or shortfalls may lead to a determination that a loan should be individually evaluated for estimated credit losses.

Leases. The Company elected certain relief options under ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), including the option not to recognize ROU asset and lease liabilities that arise from short-term leases (leases with terms of twelve months or less). At September 30, 2025, the Company had

Table of Contents
All of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases. These operating leases are included as a ROU asset in the premises and equipment line item on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The corresponding lease liability is included in the accounts payable and other liabilities line item on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
ASU 2016-02 also requires certain other accounting elections. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify, meaning those with terms under twelve months. ROU assets or lease liabilities are not to be recognized for short-term leases. The calculated amount of the ROU assets and lease liabilities in the table below are impacted by the length of the lease term and the discount rate used to present value the minimum lease payments. The Company’s lease agreements often include one or more options to renew at the Company’s discretion. If at lease inception, the Company considers the exercising of a renewal option to be reasonably certain, the Company will include the extended term in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. Regarding the discount rate, the ASU requires the use of the rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception over a similar term. The range of discount rates utilized was

Note 12: Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in active markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
Level 3 Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities
Recurring Measurements. The following table presents the fair value measurements recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at September 30, 2025, and June 30, 2025:

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the three-month period ended September 30, 2025. There were
Available-for-sale Securities. When quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated using pricing models, or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.
Derivative financial instruments. The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of interest rate swaps on loans accounted for as fair value hedges. The fair value of interest rate swaps was determined by discounting the expected cash flows of the interest rate swaps. This valuation reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate swaps, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs. The Company’s derivative financial instruments also include interest swap contracts which are not designated as hedging instruments, executed with customers to assist them in managing their interest rate risk while executing offsetting interest rate swaps with an upstream counterparty. The inputs used to value the Company’s interest rate swaps fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and, as a result, the interest rate swaps were categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. See information regarding the Company’s derivative financial agreements in Note 13: Derivative Financial Instruments of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Mortgage servicing rights. The Company records MSR at fair value on a recurring basis with subsequent remeasurement of MSR based on change in fair value. An estimate of the fair value of the Company’s MSR is determined by utilizing assumptions about factors such as mortgage interest rates, discount rates, mortgage loan prepayment speeds, market trends and industry demand. All of the Company’s MSR are classified as Level 3.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets and liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. For assets classified within Level 3 of fair value hierarchy, the process used to develop the reported fair value process is described below.
Foreclosed and Repossessed Assets Held for Sale. Foreclosed and repossessed assets held for sale are valued at the time the loan is foreclosed upon or collateral is repossessed and the asset is transferred to foreclosed or repossessed assets held for sale. The value of the asset is based on third party or internal appraisals, less estimated costs to sell and appropriate discounts, if any. The appraisals are generally discounted based on current and expected market conditions that may impact the sale or value of the asset and management’s knowledge and experience with similar assets. Such discounts typically may be significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value of these assets. Foreclosed and repossessed assets held for sale are continually evaluated for additional impairment and are adjusted accordingly if impairment is identified.

Collateral-Dependent Loans. The Company records collateral-dependent loans as Nonrecurring Level 3. If a loan’s fair value as estimated by the Company is less than its carrying value, the Company either records a charge-off of the portion of the loan that exceeds the fair value or establishes a reserve within the ACL specific to the loan.

Non-Hedging Interest Rate Derivatives. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract that is not designated as a hedging instrument. This derivative contract relates to transactions in which the Company enters into an interest rate swap contracts which are not designated as hedging instruments, executed with customers to assist them in managing their interest rate risk while executing offsetting interest rate swaps with an upstream counterparty. Additionally, the Company receives an upfront, non-refundable fee from the upstream counterparty, dependent upon the pricing, that is recognized in noninterest income upon receipt from the counterparty. Because the Company acts as an intermediary for the customer, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts, for the most part, offset each other and do not significantly impact the Company’s results of operations.
Interest rate swaps that were not designated as hedging instruments as of September 30, 2025 are summarized as follows:

Note 14: Segment Reporting
The Company operates as a single segment entity for financial reporting purposes and adopted ASU 2023-07 during the year ended June 30, 2025. The Chief Executive Officer, Greg Steffens, serves as the Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM). The CODM allocates resources and assesses performance of the Company based on the consolidated net income, excluding all significant intercompany balances and transactions, of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and does not significantly utilize disaggregated segment financial information for decision making and resource allocation. Management has reviewed the requirements of ASU 2023-07 and has determined that no additional segment disclosures are required.
Based on this assessment, the Company believes that its financial statement disclosures fully comply with ASC 2023-07, and no additional qualitative segment disclosures are necessary.

PART I: Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
SOUTHERN MISSOURI BANCORP, INC.
General
Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc. (Company) is a Missouri corporation and owns all of the outstanding stock of Southern Bank (Bank). The Company’s earnings are primarily dependent on the operations of the Bank. As a result, the following discussion relates primarily to the operations of the Bank. The Bank’s deposit accounts are generally insured up to a maximum of $250,000 by the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF), which is administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). At September 30, 2025, the Bank operated from its headquarters, 63 full-service branch offices, two limited-service branch offices, and three loan production offices. The Bank owns the office building and related land in which its headquarters are located, and 60 of its other branch offices. The remaining eight branches and offices are either leased or partially owned.
The significant accounting policies followed by Southern Missouri and its wholly owned subsidiaries for interim financial reporting are consistent with the accounting policies followed for annual financial reporting. All adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature and are in the opinion of management necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported, have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2025, has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The following discussion reviews the Company’s condensed consolidated financial condition at September 30, 2025, and results of operations for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025, and 2024.
Forward Looking Statements

The Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements based on the occurrence of future events, the receipt of new information, or otherwise.
Critical Accounting Policies
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America are complex and require management to apply significant judgments to various accounting, reporting and disclosure matters. Management of the Company must use assumptions and estimates to apply these principles where actual measurement is not possible or practical. For a complete discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies, see “Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements” in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and “Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in the Form 10-Q. Certain policies are considered critical because they are highly dependent upon subjective or complex judgments, assumptions and estimates. Changes in such estimates may have a significant impact on the financial statements. Management has reviewed the application of these policies with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. For a discussion of applying critical accounting policies, see “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” beginning on page 62 in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report.
Executive Summary
Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest margin, which is directly impacted by the interest rate environment. The net interest margin represents interest income earned on interest-earning assets (primarily real estate loans, commercial and agricultural loans, and the investment portfolio), less interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities (primarily interest-bearing transaction accounts, certificates of deposit, savings and money market deposit accounts, and borrowed funds), as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. Net interest margin is directly impacted by the spread between long-term interest rates and short-term interest rates, as our interest-earning assets, particularly those with initial terms to maturity or repricing greater than one year, generally price off longer term rates while our interest-bearing liabilities generally price off shorter term interest rates. This difference in longer term and shorter term interest rates is often referred to as the steepness of the yield curve. A steep yield curve, in which the difference in interest rates between short term and long term periods is relatively large, could be beneficial to our net interest income, as the interest rate spread between our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities would be larger. Conversely, a flat or flattening yield curve, in which the difference in rates between short term and long term periods is relatively small or shrinking, or an inverted yield curve, in which short term rates exceed long term rates, could have an adverse impact on our net interest income, as our interest rate spread could decrease.
Our results of operations may also be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, particularly those with respect to changes in market interest rates, government policies, and actions of regulatory authorities.
During the first three months of fiscal 2026, total assets increased by $16.7 million. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in net loans receivable, partially offset by decreases in cash and cash equivalents, and AFS securities. Loans, net of the ACL, increased $90.7 million; cash equivalents decreased by $68.7 million; and AFS securities decreased $7.0 million. Liabilities increased $1.2 million, primarily attributable to an increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $5.0 million, partially offset by decreases in accounts payable and other liabilities of $2.1 million, FHLB advances of $2.0 million, and deposits of $878,000. Equity increased $15.5 million, attributable primarily to earnings retained after cash dividends paid, in combination with a $3.0 million reduction in

accumulated other comprehensive losses (AOCL) due to the market value of the Company’s investments appreciating as a result of the decrease in market interest rates, partially offset by the purchase of treasury stock totaling $446,000. For more information, see “Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2025, and June 30, 2025.”
Net income for the first three months of fiscal 2025 was $15.7 million, an increase of $3.2 million, or 25.6% as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was attributable to increases in net interest income and decreases in noninterest expense, partially offset by increases in PCL and income taxes, and decreases in noninterest income. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, fully-diluted net income per share available to common stockholders was $1.38, up $0.28, or 25.5%, as compared to the same quarter a year ago. Our annualized return on average assets for the three-month period ended September, 2025, was 1.24%, as compared to 1.07% for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Our return on average common stockholders’ equity for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, was 11.3%, as compared to 9.9% in the same period of the prior fiscal year. For the first three months of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, net interest income increased $5.8 million, or 15.7%, and noninterest expense decreased $790,000, or 3.1%; these items were partially offset by PCL, which increased $2.3 million, or 108.4%, noninterest income, which decreased $601,000, or 8.4%, and provision for income taxes, which increased $413,000, or 12.2%. For more information see “Results of Operations – Comparison of the three- month periods ended September 30, 2025, and 2024”.
Interest rates during the first three months of fiscal 2026 remained relatively stable and moved lower at the shorter end and mid-point of the curve due to Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) approved a federal funds rate cut of 25 basis points in September 2025. Market expectations are for further reductions in the federal funds rate over the next year, while there are concerns that economic conditions could keep inflation somewhat elevated and above the FOMC target range, which has led to some steepening of the yield curve. At September 30, 2025, the yield curve had a 56 basis point positive slope between the two-year and ten-year treasury rates.
As compared to the first three months of the prior fiscal year, our average yield on earning assets increased by one basis point, primarily attributable to increased yields on loans receivable, as loans renewed and new loans were originated at higher market rates, partially offset by decreased yields on AFS securities, and a higher percentage of earning assets in securities and cash. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 28 basis points due primarily to lower market rates. Due to average earning assets repricing slightly higher, and interest-bearing liabilities repricing lower, the net interest spread increased 29 basis points to 3.02% and the net interest margin increased by 23 basis points to 3.57% during the first three-months of fiscal 2026, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2025. The increase in the net interest margin was due primarily to the increase in net interest spread, partially offset by a lower composition of higher yielding assets, primarily loans, and a higher balance of lower yielding cash and cash equivalents, compared to the prior fiscal year period. In addition, net interest income benefitted from an 8.1% increase in average earnings assets, compared to the prior fiscal year period. The combination of a higher percentage of variable rate deposits compared to the prior fiscal year and lower rates, easing the pressure on interest expense, and loans repricing to higher market rates, has allowed the net interest spread and net interest margin to expand in the fiscal 2026 period.
The Company’s net income is also affected by the level of its noninterest income and noninterest expense. Noninterest income generally consists of deposit account service charges, bank card interchange income, loan-related fees, earnings on bank owned life insurance, gains on sales of loans, and other general operating income. Noninterest expense consists primarily of compensation and employee benefits, occupancy-related expenses, data processing expense, telecommunications expense, deposit insurance assessments, legal and professional fees, advertising, postage and office expenses, amortization of intangible assets, and other general operating expenses.
The Company’s noninterest income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, was $6.6 million, a decrease of $601,000, or 8.4%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. In the current period, the decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in loan fees resulting from a refinement of fee recognition in our application of ASC 310-20, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, and lower realized gains on sales of loans, partially offset by increases in deposit account charges and related fees, wealth management fees, bank card interchange income, and earnings on bank owned life insurance.

Noninterest expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, was $25.1 million, a decrease of $790,000, or 3.1%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. In the current quarter, this decrease in noninterest expense was attributable primarily to lower compensation and benefits, legal and professional fees, and telecommunication expenses. The decrease in compensation and benefits expense was primarily driven by a refinement of expense recognition in our applications of ASC 310-20. Legal and professional fees decreased from the prior-year period, which had included $840,000 of costs related to a performance improvement project designed to enhance the Bank’s operations and revenue performance. By comparison, in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, legal and professional fees included $572,000 of consulting costs associated with the negotiation of a new contract with a key vendor. This decrease was partially offset by higher data processing expenses, deposit insurance premiums, and various minor increases across other expense categories.
We expect, over time, to continue to grow our assets through the origination and occasional purchase of loans, and purchases of investment securities. The primary funding for this asset growth is expected to come through deposits from retail and commercial clients, as well as public units. In addition, we may utilize brokered funding and short- and long-term FHLB borrowings. We have grown and intend to continue to grow deposits by offering desirable deposit products for our current customers and by attracting new depository relationships. We will also continue to explore strategic expansion opportunities in market areas that we believe will be attractive to our business model.
Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2025, and June 30, 2025
The Company experienced balance sheet growth in the first three months of fiscal 2026, with total assets of $5.0 billion at September 30, 2025, reflecting an increase of $16.7 million, or 0.3%, as compared to June 30, 2025. Growth primarily resulted from an increase in net loans receivable, which was partially offset by a decrease in cash equivalents and time deposits and available for sale securities.
Cash equivalents and time deposits were $124.4 million at September 30, 2025, a decrease of $68.7 million, or 35.6%, as compared to June 30, 2025. This amount was used primarily to fund loan growth. Available for sale securities were $453.9 million at September 30, 2025, down $7.0 million, or 1.5%, as compared to June 30, 2025, as the Company was less active in reinvesting principal payments received.
Loans, net of the allowance for credit losses (ACL), were $4.1 billion at September 30, 2025, increasing by $90.7 million, or 2.2%, as compared to June 30, 2025. The Company noted growth in both the real estate and non-real estate portfolios. Real estate loan growth was primarily driven by increases in non-owner occupied commercial real estate, 1-4 residential real estate, and multi-family real estate loan balances. This was somewhat offset by a decrease in construction and land development loans, due to projects completed and transitioned to permanent financing, generally provided by the Company. In the non-real estate portfolio, growth was driven by seasonal agricultural production loan draws and modest growth in commercial and industrial loan balances.
Loans anticipated to fund in the next 90 days totaled $194.5 million at September 30, 2025, as compared to $224.1 million at June 30, 2025, and $168.0 million at September 30, 2024.
The Bank’s concentration in non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans is estimated at 295.7% of Tier 1 capital and ACL at September 30, 2025, as compared to 301.9% as of June 30, 2025, with these loans representing 39.3% of total loans at September 30, 2025. Multi-family residential real estate, hospitality (hotels/restaurants), care facilities, strip centers, retail stand-alone, and storage units are the most common collateral types within the non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan portfolio. The multi-family residential real estate loan portfolio commonly includes loans collateralized by properties currently in the low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) program or that have exited the program. The hospitality and retail stand-alone segments include primarily franchised businesses; care facilities consisting mainly of skilled nursing and assisted living centers; and strip centers, which can be defined as non-mall shopping centers with a variety of tenants. Non-owner occupied office property types included 34 loans totaling $20.5 million, or 0.49% of total loans at September 30, 2025, none of which were adversely classified, and are generally comprised of smaller spaces with diverse tenants. The Company continues to monitor its commercial real estate concentration and its individual segments closely.

Deposits were $4.3 billion at September 30, 2025, a decrease of $878,000, as compared to June 30, 2025. The deposit portfolio declined primarily in certificates of deposit and NOW accounts, as the Bank was less aggressive on deposit pricing given its excess funding position. This was partially offset by increases in savings and money market deposit accounts. The decrease in certificates of deposit was largely driven by a $33.2 million reduction in brokered certificates compared to June 30, 2025. Brokered deposits totaled $220.5 million at September 30, 2025, a decrease of $14.6 million from June 30, 2025. Short-term brokered money market deposit accounts were utilized to partially replace the outflow of brokered certificates of deposit. Public unit balances totaled $537.4 million at September 30, 2025, a decrease of $13.5 million compared to June 30, 2025, due to expected seasonal decreases in these accounts. Compared to the same quarter a year ago, nonmaturity accounts increased $150.3 million, or 6.0%, and non-brokered certificates of deposits increased $150.7 million, or 12.0%. The average loan-to-deposit ratio for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was 96.3%, as compared to 94.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, and 98.5% for the same quarter a year ago.
FHLB advances were $102.0 million at September 30, 2025, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 2.0%, from June 30, 2025, due to maturing advances which were not renewed. For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company continued to have no FHLB overnight borrowings at the end of the period.
The Company’s stockholders’ equity was $560.2 million at September 30, 2025, an increase of $15.5 million, or 2.9%, as compared to June 30, 2025. The increase was attributable primarily to earnings retained after cash dividends paid, in combination with a decrease AOCL as the market value of the Company’s investments appreciated due to decreases in market interest rates. The AOCL decreased from $11.4 million at June 30, 2025, to $8.4 million at September 30, 2025. The Company does not hold any securities classified as held-to-maturity. The increase in stockholders’ equity was partially offset by $447,000 utilized for repurchases of 8,145 shares of the Company’s common stock during the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2026 at an average price of $54.84 per share.

Results of Operations – Comparison of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025, and 2024
General. Net income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, was $15.7 million, an increase of $3.2 million or 25.6%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was attributable to increases in net interest income and decreases in noninterest expense, partially offset by increases in PCL and income taxes, and decreases in noninterest income.
For the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, fully-diluted net income per share available to common stockholders was $1.38, up $0.28, or 25.5%, as compared to the same quarter a year ago. Our annualized return on average assets for the three-month period ended September, 2025, was 1.24%, as compared to 1.07% for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Our return on average common stockholders’ equity for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, was 11.3%, as compared to 9.9% in the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, was $42.4 million, an increase of $5.8 million, or 15.7%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was attributable to an 8.1% increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets in the current three-month period, as compared to the same period a year ago, and a 23 basis point increase in net interest margin, from 3.34% to 3.57%, as the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 28 basis points, and the yield earned on interest earning assets increased by one basis point.
Loan discount accretion and liability premium amortization related to the November 2018 acquisition of First Commercial Bank, the May 2020 acquisition of Central Federal Savings & Loan Association, the February 2022 merger of FortuneBank, and the January 2023 acquisition of Citizens Bank & Trust resulted in $876,000 in net interest income

for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $959,000 in net interest income for the same period a year ago. Combined, this component of net interest income contributed seven basis points to net interest margin in the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to a nine-basis point contribution for the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Provision for Credit Losses. The Company recorded a PCL of $4.5 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to a PCL of $2.2 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The current period PCL was the result of a $4.1 million provision attributable to the ACL for loan balances outstanding and a $359,000 provision attributable to the allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures. The factors considered when estimating a required ACL and PCL for loan balances outstanding is detailed below under “Allowance for Credit Loss Activity” and the PCL for off-balance sheet credit exposure was primarily attributable to an increase in unfunded balances and an increase in required reserves for pooled loans.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, was $6.6 million, a decrease of $601,000, or 8.4%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower other loan fees and a decrease in net realized gains on sale of loans driven by a lower volume of SBA production. Other loan fees declined, reflecting a refinement of our fee recognition under ASC 310-20, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, with a greater portion now recognized in interest income over the life of the loan. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in deposit account charges and related fees, wealth management fees, and other non-interest income. Other non-interest income increased primarily due to the recognition of modest losses on the disposal of fixed assets in the year ago period, attributable to various equipment disposals, with no similar activity in the current quarter.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, was $25.1 million, a decrease of $790,000, or 3.1%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. In the current quarter, this decrease in noninterest expense was attributable primarily to lower compensation and benefits, legal and professional fees, and telecommunication expenses. The decrease in compensation and benefits expense was primarily driven by the aforementioned refinement in the application of ASC 310-20, under which a larger portion of loan origination costs, including related compensation, is being deferred and recognized as a reduction of interest income over the life of the loan. Legal and professional fees decreased from the prior-year period, which had included $840,000 of costs related to a performance improvement project designed to enhance the Bank’s operations and revenue performance. By comparison, the first quarter of fiscal 2026, legal and professional fees included $572,000 of consulting costs associated with the negotiation of a new contract with a key vendor. This net decrease was partially offset by higher data processing costs, deposit insurance premiums, and various minor increases across other expense categories.
Income Taxes. The income tax provision for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, was $3.8 million, an increase of 12.2%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to the increase in net income before income taxes. The effective tax rate for the quarter was 19.5%, compared to 21.3% in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. The lower rate was due to the absence of merger-related tax accrual adjustments that elevated the same period of the prior fiscal year’s rate, combined with the impact of lower state tax rates and a revised apportionment methodology, in the current period. The current quarter also benefited from the recognition of tax credits under the proportional amortization method in accordance with ASC 2023-02.
Allowance for Credit Loss Activity
The Company regularly reviews its ACL and makes adjustments to its balance based on management’s estimate of (1) the total expected losses included in the Company’s financial assets held at amortized cost, which is limited to the Company’s loan portfolio, and (2) any credit deterioration in the Company’s available-for-sale securities as of the balance sheet date. The Company does not hold any securities classified as held-to-maturity.
Although the Company maintains its ACL at a level that it considers sufficient to provide for losses, there can be no assurance that future losses will not exceed internal estimates. In addition, the amount of the ACL is subject to review by
-49-
Table of Contents
regulatory agencies, which can order the Company to record additional allowances. The required ACL has been estimated based upon the guidelines in ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.
The estimate involves consideration of quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the loan portfolio as segmented by the Company, and is based on an evaluation, at the reporting date, of historical loss experience, coupled with qualitative adjustments to address current economic conditions and credit quality, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Specific qualitative factors considered include, but may not be limited to:
•Changes in lending policies and/or loan review system
•National, regional, and local economic trends and/or conditions
•Changes and/or trends in the nature, volume, or terms of the loan portfolio
•Experience, ability, and depth of lending management and staff
•Levels and/or trends of delinquent, non-accrual, problem assets, or charge offs and recoveries
•Concentrations of credit
•Changes in collateral values
•Agricultural economic conditions
•Risks from regulatory, legal, or competitive factors
The following table summarizes changes in the ACL over the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025, and 2024:

The ACL at September 30, 2025, totaled $52.1 million, representing 1.24% of gross loans and 200% of nonperforming loans, as compared to an ACL of $51.6 million, representing 1.26% of gross loans and 224% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2025. The Company has estimated its expected credit losses as of September 30, 2025, under ASC 326-20, and management believes the ACL as of that date was adequate based on that estimate. There remains, however, significant economic uncertainty despite recent reductions in short-term interest rates as labor market conditions soften, while inflation remains above target. The increase in the ACL was primarily attributable to management’s assessment of reserve adequacy amid an evolving economic environment, additions to individually reviewed loans, loan growth, and slightly higher reserves required for pooled loans. This was partially offset by net charge-offs, which reduced the overall
-50-
Table of Contents
required reserves for individually evaluated loans. As a percentage of average loans outstanding, the Company recorded net charge offs of 0.36% (annualized) during the current quarter, as compared to 0.01% for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. In the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, net charge offs were $3.7 million, which was primarily attributable to a $2.8 million charge-off associated with a special-purpose CRE relationship, which was reserved for in the prior fiscal year. At September 30, 2025, the Company had accrued within other liabilities an allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures of $4.3 million, as compared to $3.9 million at June 30, 2025. The increase reflects the component of the PCL attributable to off-balance sheet credit exposures. This amount is maintained as a separate liability account to cover estimated credit losses associated with off-balance sheet credit instruments such as off-balance sheet loan commitments, standby letters of credit, and guarantees. The $359,000 increase in the estimated allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures was primarily the result of an increase in unfunded balances and an increase in required reserves for pooled loans.
The following table sets forth the sum of the amounts of the ACL attributable to individual loans within each category, or the loan categories in general, and the percentage of the ACL that is attributable to each category, as of the reporting date. The table also reflects the percentage of loans in each category to the total loan portfolio, as of the reporting date.

For loans that do not exhibit similar risk characteristics, the Company evaluates the loan on an individual basis. Loans that are classified with an adverse internal credit rating or identified as modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are most commonly considered for individual evaluation. The ACL for individually evaluated loans may be estimated based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, or based on the present value of expected cash flows.
At September 30, 2025, the Company had loans of $55.1 million, or 1.31% of total loans, adversely classified ($54.5 million classified “substandard”; $603,000 classified “doubtful”), as compared to loans of $49.6 million, or 1.21% of total loans, adversely classified ($49.6 million classified “substandard”; none classified “doubtful”) at June 30, 2025, and $40.4 million, or 1.02% of total loans, adversely classified ($40.4 million classified “substandard”; none classified “doubtful”), at September 30, 2024. Classified loans were generally comprised of loans secured by commercial and residential real estate, and other commercial purpose collateral. All loans were classified due to concerns as to the borrowers’ ability to continue to generate sufficient cash flows to service the debt. Of our classified loans, the Company had ceased recognition of interest on loans with a carrying value of $22.5 million at September 30, 2025. The Company’s total past due loans increased from $25.6 million at June 30, 2025, to $29.3 million at September 30, 2025. Total past due loans were $13.4 million at September 30, 2024. See Note 4 – “Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. For additional information on the increase in substandard loans, see “Non-Performing Assets” within Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Nonperforming Assets
The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets and nonperforming loans to net loans receivable is another measure of asset quality. Nonperforming assets of the Company include nonaccruing loans, accruing loans delinquent/past maturity 90 days or more, and assets which have been acquired as a result of foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. The table below summarizes changes in the Company’s level of nonperforming assets over selected time periods:

At September 30, 2025, modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty totaled $28.7 million, of which $1.6 million was considered nonperforming and included in the nonaccrual loan total above. The remaining $27.1 million in modified loans have complied with the modified terms for a reasonable period of time and are therefore considered by the Company to be accrual status loans. On the basis of guidance under ASU No. 2022-02, in general, $25.5 million of these loans were subject to classification as modifications due to interest rate reductions, $1.7 million due to term extensions, and $1.5 million due to payment delays, given to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty at September 30, 2025. At June 30, 2025, these modifications totaled $28.2 million, of which $1.6 million was considered
-52-
Table of Contents
nonperforming and included in the nonaccrual loan total above. The remaining $26.6 million in modifications at June 30, 2025, had complied with the modified terms for a reasonable period of time and were therefore considered by the Company to be accrual status loans.
At September 30, 2025, nonperforming assets totaled $ 27.1 million, as compared to $23.7 million at June 30, 2025, and $12.1 million at September 30, 2024. The increase in nonperforming assets, compared to June 30, 2025, primarily reflects an increase in nonperforming loans (NPLs). The increase in NPLs compared to June 30, 2025, was primarily attributable to one commercial relationship consisting of two loans collateralized by commercial real estate and equipment, as well as three unrelated loans secured by one-to-four family residential properties, all of which were placed on nonaccrual status during the first quarter of fiscal 2026.
Liquidity Resources
The term “liquidity” refers to our ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to fund loan originations, loans purchases, deposit withdrawals and operating expenses. Our primary sources of funds include deposit growth, FHLB advances, brokered deposits, amortization and prepayment of loan principal and interest, investment maturities and sales, and funds provided by our operations. While the scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows, FHLB advance redemptions, and loan and security prepayment rates are significantly influenced by factors outside of the Bank’s control, including interest rates, general and local economic conditions and competition in the marketplace. The Bank relies on FHLB advances and brokered deposits as additional sources for funding cash or liquidity needs.
The Company uses its liquid resources principally to satisfy its ongoing cash requirements, which include funding loan commitments, funding maturing certificates of deposit and deposit withdrawals, maintaining liquidity, funding maturing or called FHLB advances, purchasing investments, and meeting operating expenses.
At September 30, 2025, the Company had outstanding commitments and approvals to extend credit of approximately $984.7 million (including $623.2 million in unused lines of credit) in mortgage and non-mortgage loans. These commitments and approvals are expected to be funded through existing cash balances, cash flow from normal operations and, if needed, advances from the FHLB or the Federal Reserve’s discount window. At September 30, 2025, the Bank had pledged $1.6 billion of its single-family residential, home equity, and commercial real estate loan portfolios to the FHLB for available credit of approximately $899.7 million, of which $102.1 million was advanced, while $621,000 was encumbered by residential real estate loans sold onto the secondary market through the FHLB, and none was utilized as collateral for the issuance of letters of credit to secure public unit deposits. In total, FHLB borrowings are generally limited to 45% of Bank assets, or approximately $2.2 billion, subject to available collateral. Also, at September 30, 2025, the Bank had pledged a total of $419.7 million in loans secured by farmland and agricultural production loans to the Federal Reserve, providing access to $368.1 million in primary credit borrowings from the Federal Reserve’s discount window, none of which was advanced at September 30, 2025. In addition, the Bank has other assets available to pledge to the Federal Reserve, such as commercial loans, which could provide additional collateral for additional borrowings. Management believes its liquid resources will be sufficient to meet the Company’s liquidity needs.
Regulatory Capital
The Company and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory – and possibly additional discretionary – actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company and the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under U.S. GAAP, regulatory reporting requirements and regulatory capital standards. The Company and Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Furthermore, the Company and Bank’s regulators could require adjustments to regulatory capital not reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
-53-
Table of Contents
Quantitative measures established by regulatory capital standards to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total capital, Tier 1 capital (as defined), and common equity Tier 1 capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average total assets (as defined). Additionally, to make distributions or discretionary bonus payments, the Company and Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets. Management believes, as of September 30, 2025, and June 30, 2025, that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
In August 2020, the Federal banking agencies adopted a final rule updating a December 2018 rule regarding the impact on regulatory capital of adoption of the CECL standard. The rule allows institutions that adopted the CECL standard in 2020 a five-year transition period to recognize the estimated impact of adoption on regulatory capital. The Company and the Bank elected to exercise the option to recognize the impact of adoption over the five-year period.
As of September 30, 2025, the most recent notification from the Federal banking agencies categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, common equity Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

SOUTHERN MISSOURI BANCORP, INC.
Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk
The goal of the Company’s asset/liability management strategy is to manage the interest rate sensitivity of both interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities in order to maximize net interest income without exposing the Company to an excessive level of interest rate risk. The Company employs various strategies intended to manage the potential effect that changing interest rates may have on future operating results. The primary asset/liability management strategy has been to focus on matching the anticipated repricing intervals of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. At times, however, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the Company may increase its interest rate risk position in order to maintain its net interest margin.
In an effort to manage the interest rate risk resulting from fixed rate lending, the Company has at times utilized longer term (up to 10 year maturities), fixed-rate FHLB advances, which may be subject to early redemption, to offset interest rate risk. Other elements of the Company’s current asset/liability strategy include: (i) increasing originations of commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans, agricultural real estate loans, and agricultural operating lines, which typically provide higher yields and shorter repricing periods, but inherently increase credit risk, (ii) limiting the price volatility of the investment portfolio by maintaining a relatively short weighted average maturity, (iii) actively soliciting less rate-sensitive nonmaturity deposits, and (iv) offering competitively priced money market accounts and CDs with maturities of up to five years. The degree to which each segment of the strategy is achieved will affect profitability and exposure to interest rate risk.
The Company continues to originate long-term, fixed-rate single-family residential loans. During the first three months of fiscal year 2026, fixed rate single-family residential loan production totaled $35.9 million (of which $6.0 million was originated for sale into the secondary market), as compared to $31.1 million during the same period of the prior fiscal year (of which $4.6 million was originated for sale into the secondary market). At September 30, 2025, the fixed rate, single-family residential loan portfolio was $643.3 million with a weighted average maturity of 161 months, as compared to $624.1 million with a weighted average maturity of 172 months at September 30, 2024. The Company originated $17.8 million in adjustable-rate residential loans during the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $11.1 million during the same period of the prior fiscal year. At September 30, 2025, fixed rate loans with remaining maturities in excess of 10 years totaled $350.6 million, or 8.5% of net loans receivable, as compared to $365.8 million, or 9.4% of net loans receivable at September 30, 2024. The Company originated $112.5 million in fixed rate commercial, commercial real estate, and multi-family loans during the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $95.2 million during the same period of the prior fiscal year. The Company also originated $59.3 million in adjustable rate commercial, commercial real estate, and multi-family loans during the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $32.2 million during the same period of the prior fiscal year. At September 30, 2025, adjustable-rate home equity lines of credit increased to $92.0 million, as compared to $77.4 million at September 30, 2024. At September 30, 2025, the Company’s investment portfolio had an expected weighted-average life of 4.2 years, compared to 4.4 years at September 30, 2024. Effective duration of the portfolio indicates a stable price sensitivity of approximately 2.3% per 100 basis points movement in market rates at September 30, 2025, as compared to 2.4% at September 30, 2024. Management continues to focus on customer retention, customer satisfaction, and offering new products to customers in order to increase the Company’s amount of less rate-sensitive deposit accounts.

Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on an internally generated model using actual maturity and repricing schedules for the Bank’s loans and deposits, and are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan repayments and deposit run-offs. Further, the computations do not consider any reactions that the Bank may undertake in response to changes in interest rates. These projected changes should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results in any of the aforementioned interest rate changes.
Management cannot accurately predict future interest rates or their effect on the Bank’s NPV in the future. The shape of the yield curve may vary in certain interest rate environments and is not captured in an instantaneous parallel shock. Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the computation of NPV. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in differing degrees to changes in market interest rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have an initial fixed rate period, typically from one to seven years, and over the remaining life of the asset changes in the interest rate are restricted. In addition, the proportion of adjustable-rate loans in the Bank’s portfolios could decrease in future periods due to refinancing activity if market interest rates remain steady in the future. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels could deviate significantly from those assumed in the table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their adjustable-rate debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.
The Company’s growth strategy has included origination of fixed-rate loans, as discussed under “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” above. Our fixed rate loan portfolio and the behavior of fixed-rate

borrowers in a higher interest rate environment, especially over the course of fiscal 2023 and 2024, pressured our NPV. Since June 30, 2025, market interest rates at the mid-point of the curve have continued to decline, positively impacting the modeled value of our fixed rate loans and bonds at September 30, 2025. Also benefiting the NPV was an overall slight increase in earning asset yields compared to June 30, 2025, which was attributable to an increase in loan yields, while securities and other interest earning asset yields decreased over this period. The decrease in market rates had an inverse impact on liabilities, primarily attributable to the modeled value of the deposit portfolio. This was partially offset by a decrease in the cost of deposits since June 30, 2025. The Company’s sensitivity to rising rates modestly increased in this period due to a decrease in cash balances. This had an inverse response to decreasing rates as it positively impacted the modeled value of interest earning assets as market rates decline. Net fair value of assets, however, increased, primarily due to relatively stable interest-earning asset yields. The Company maintained the $60 million notional amount of its pay-fixed/receive-floating interest rate swaps, designed to hedge the residential loan portfolio against the risk of rising interest rates. The Company continues to manage its balance sheet to maximize earnings through interest rate cycles, while maintaining safe and sound risk management practices. Over time, the Company has worked to limit its exposure to rising rates by increasing the share of funding on its balance sheet obtained through lower cost non-maturity transaction accounts and retail time deposits, and by limiting short-term FHLB borrowings. See information regarding the Company’s derivative financial agreements in Note 13: Derivative Financial Instruments of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Bank’s board of directors is responsible for reviewing asset and liability management policies. The Bank’s Asset/Liability Committee meets monthly to review interest rate risk and trends, as well as liquidity, capital ratios, and other requirements. The Bank’s management is responsible for administering the policies and determinations of the board of directors with respect to the Bank’s asset and liability management goals and strategies.

PART I: Item 4: Controls and Procedures
SOUTHERN MISSOURI BANCORP, INC.
An evaluation of Southern Missouri’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Act”)) as of September 30, 2025, was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Administrative Officer, our Chief Financial Officer, and several other members of our senior management. Our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Administrative Officer, and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2025, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to management (including our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Administrative Officer and our Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
The Company does not expect that its disclosures and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
