“We delivered another record quarter, marked by strong loan production and our sixth consecutive quarter of loan growth across all markets,” commented James A. (Ja) Hillebrand, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “While elevated loan payoffs tempered overall growth during the quarter, underlying loan demand remains steady. Credit quality continues to be strong and stable, supported by prudent underwriting standards and disciplined portfolio management. Additionally, we are proud to report that just three quarters after our Indianapolis market surpassed $1 billion in total loans, our Cincinnati market reached that same milestone during the third quarter for the first time since entering the market in 2007. These achievements reflect our sustained progress and disciplined growth strategy.”

“Our operating performance this quarter was supported by broad-based strength across non-interest revenue streams,” Hillebrand continued. “Highlighted by growth in our mortgage and brokerage businesses, our diversified sources of fee income continue to make meaningful contributions. While Wealth Management & Trust (WM&T) income declined compared to the prior-year quarter, assets under management increased for the second consecutive quarter following three quarters of decline. We are encouraged by the growth in net new business during the third quarter and the strength of the teams we have assembled. Recent strategic hires are already contributing to business development ahead of expectations, and we remain confident about the continued trajectory of our WM&T group as they continue to gain traction and help drive future growth.”

“Over the past twelve months, we continued expanding our deposit base, which increased by $918 million, or 14%. The growth was driven by the successful execution of a time deposit initiative earlier this year as well as an increase in non-interest bearing deposit balances. We are particularly encouraged by the stability of our non-interest bearing deposits, which now account for 21% of total deposits. As always, our priority is driving organic growth while enhancing the strength and resilience of our funding base. While we expect our net interest margin to remain stable, headwinds created by potential interest rate cuts before the end of the year could present challenges,” said Hillebrand.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $9.31 billion in assets, $6.93 billion in loans and $7.64 billion in total deposits. The Company’s combined enterprise, which encompasses 73 branch offices across three contiguous states, will continue to benefit from a diversified geographic and economic footprint, including the new Center Grove location that was opened in the Indianapolis metropolitan market at the end of March. Two additional locations are also expected to be opened by the end of the year, which will expand the Company’s footprint into Bardstown, Kentucky and Liberty Township, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati.

Key factors contributing to the third quarter of 2025 results included:

  • Total loans increased $651 million, or 10%, over the last 12 months, while growing $79 million, or 1%, on the linked quarter. Broad-based loan growth during the quarter included increases in all markets for the sixth consecutive quarter and was well spread amongst categories. Commercial real estate loan growth of $403 million led all categories, with the C&I, residential real estate and HELOC segments also contributing to year over year growth. The yield earned on total loans ended at 6.19% for the third quarter of 2025, with yield expansion and strong average balance growth driving a 2-basis point increase compared to the same period in 2024.
  • Deposit balances expanded $918 million, or 14%, over the last 12 months, with the deposit mix continuing to shift from non-interest bearing and low interest-bearing deposits into higher-cost deposits. Interest-bearing deposits grew $837 million, or 16%, led in large part by time deposit growth, while non-interest bearing deposits increased $81 million, or 5%. On the linked quarter, total deposits expanded $137 million, or 2%. Non-interest-bearing demand accounts increased $74 million, or 5%, while total interest-bearing deposit accounts increased $63 million, or 1%, led by time deposit growth.
  • Net interest income increased $12.1 million, or 19%, for the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter a year ago. Net interest margin expanded 23 basis points to 3.56% for the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of the prior year, driven by significant earning asset growth and yield expansion that was coupled with a decline in the cost of funds. On the linked quarter, net interest income increased $3.6 million, or 5%, while net interest margin expanded 3 basis points, boosted by continued loan growth and higher yields on interest earning assets, which outpaced a minor increase in the cost of funds.
  • Provision for credit loss on loans expense(1) of $1.6 million was recorded for the third quarter of 2025, primarily attributed to solid loan growth and minor increases in specific reserve allocations. Traditional credit quality statistics remained strong at quarter-end.
  • Non-interest income decreased $321,000, or 1%, over the third quarter of 2024, and increased $128,000, or 1%, on the linked quarter.
  • Total non-interest expenses increased $5.4 million, or 11%, during the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024, and increased $1.1 million, or 2%, on the linked quarter.
  • Tangible common equity per share(3) was $28.30 on September 30, 2025, compared to $27.06 on June 30, 2025, and $24.58 on September 30, 2024.

Results of Operations – Third Quarter 2025, Compared with Third Quarter 2024

Net interest income, the Company’s largest source of revenue, increased by $12.1 million, or 19%, to $77.0 million. Significant average earning asset balance growth and improved yields led to strong interest income expansion.

  • Total interest income increased by $14.6 million, or 14%, to $120 million.
    • Interest income and fees on loans increased $11.5 million, or 12%, over the prior year quarter. Driven by the $699 million, or 11%, increase in average loans in addition to interest rate expansion, the average quarterly yield earned on loans increased 2 basis points over the past 12 months to 6.19%.
    • Interest income on securities increased $123,000, or 2%, compared to the third quarter of 2024. While average securities balances declined $188 million, or 13%, the rate earned on securities improved 35 basis points to 2.42%, as a portion of lower-yielding investment maturities were reinvested at higher short-term rates over the past 12 months. Cash flows from the investment portfolio, including larger, recent scheduled maturities, have been primarily utilized to fund loan growth and provide liquidity consistent with current balance sheet management strategies.
    • Average overnight funds increased $300 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of the prior year, driving a $3.1 million, or 157%, increase in corresponding interest income despite rate reductions enacted by the Federal Reserve in mid-September and late 2024.
  • Total interest expense increased $2.5 million, or 6%, to $43.2 million, but the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 18 basis points to 2.66%.
    • Interest expense on deposits increased $5.3 million, or 16% over the past 12 months, attributed almost entirely to the time deposit category and consistent with the successful CD promotion that ran through mid-April. Despite ending the promotions early in the second quarter and lowering time deposit rates, the Company continued to experience solid time deposit growth through the end of the third quarter. The overall cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased to 2.60% for the third quarter of 2025 from 2.68% for the third quarter of 2024.
    • As a result of strong interest-bearing deposit growth over the past 12 months, average FHLB advance balances declined $161 million, or 35%, resulting in a $2.3 million, or 45%, decrease in corresponding interest expense compared to the third quarter of 2024, with the related cost of funds declining 70 basis points to 3.80% over the same period.

The Company recorded provision for credit losses on loans(1) expense of $1.6 million for the third quarter of 2025, consistent with strong loan growth, a slightly improved economic forecast, minor increases specific reserve allocations, and net charge offs of $112,000. Additionally, the Company recorded a $425,000 expense for off balance sheet exposures for the third quarter of 2025 associated with increased availability related to Construction & Land Development lines of credit. For the third quarter of 2024, the Company recorded $4.3 million in provision for credit losses on loans and no provision for credit losses on off balance sheet exposures.

Non-interest income decreased $321,000, or 1%, to $24.5 million compared to the third quarter of 2024.

  • WM&T income ended the third quarter of 2025 at $10.7 million, a decrease of $227,000, or 2%, over the third quarter of 2024, which was attributed to a decline in non-recurring estate fees compared to the prior period. However, assets under management increased $163 million, or 2%, compared to the third quarter of 2024. The third quarter of 2025 marked the second consecutive quarter of AUM expansion, driven by positive market returns and the momentum of a reloaded sales team.
  • Compared to the third quarter of 2024, treasury management fees decreased $16,000, or 1%, to $2.9 million. While international activity remains below last year’s elevated levels, new product sales and broad fee increases that were implemented toward the end of the first quarter have helped treasury management revenue stay in line with the record year experienced in 2024.
  • Card income decreased $74,000, or 1%, over the third quarter of 2024, driven by lower transaction volumes. Credit card income benefited from VISA’s annual volume and marketing incentives, which are paid in the third quarter of each year and totaled approximately $140,000 in both the third quarter of 2025 and the third quarter of 2024.
  • Mortgage banking income increased $140,000, or 13% over the third quarter of 2024.
  • Brokerage income grew $197,000, or 22%, to a record $1.1 million, attributed to the addition of a new broker and the benefit of portfolios shifting to more profitable wrap fee-based business.
  • Other non-interest income, which primarily includes swap fees, letter of credit fees and OREO activity, decreased $364,000 over the third quarter of 2024. The variance from the third quarter of 2024 was attributed mainly to swap fee income. No swap fee income was recorded during the third quarter of 2025, compared to $380,000 in swap fee income during the third quarter of 2024.

Non-interest expenses increased by $5.4 million, or 11%, to $53.8 million, compared to the third quarter of 2024.

  • Compensation expense increased $3.3 million, or 13%, compared to the third quarter of 2024, consistent with higher bonus accrual levels tied to strong year-to-date results, annual merit-based increases and full-time equivalent employee expansion. Employee benefits increased $249,000, or 5%, compared to the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to increases in health insurance claims and FICA expense.
  • Net occupancy and equipment expenses increased $311,000, or 8%, over the third quarter of 2024, attributed mainly to increased rent and depreciation expense.
  • Marketing and business development expense increased $449,000, or 31%, compared to the third quarter of 2024. The quarter over prior year quarter increase relates to elevated advertising expense tied primarily to various bank initiatives in addition to increased customer entertainment and sponsorship expenses.
  • Other non-interest expenses increased $437,000, or 23%, compared to the third quarter of 2024, primarily attributed to higher credit card rewards and to a lesser extent, increased insurance costs.

Financial Condition – September 30, 2025, Compared with September 30, 2024

Total assets increased $870 million, or 10%, year over year to $9.31 billion.

Total loans increased $651 million, or 10%, to $6.93 billion, with growth spread across segments and markets. Total line of credit usage ended at 47% as of September 30, 2025, compared to 43% as of September 30, 2024. C&I line of credit usage expanded to 37% as of period end, compared to 32% as of September 30, 2024.

Total investment securities decreased $296 million, or 24%, year over year. During the third quarter of 2025, $250 million in short-term Treasury Bills that had previously been utilized for seasonal collateral pledging purposes matured and were not reinvested, providing liquidity and funding for continued loan growth consistent with current balance sheet management strategies.

Total deposits increased $918 million, or 14%, over the past 12 months, with the deposit mix continuing to shift from non-interest bearing and low interest-bearing deposits into higher-cost deposits. Total interest-bearing deposits grew $837 million, or 16%, led primarily by time deposit growth. Non-interest-bearing demand accounts increased $81 million, or 5%.

Non-performing loans totaled $18.7 million, or 0.27% of total loans outstanding on September 30, 2025, compared to $17.2 million, or 0.27% of total loans outstanding on September 30, 2024.

Results of Operations – Third Quarter 2025, Compared with Second Quarter 2025

Net interest margin expanded 3 basis points on the linked quarter to 3.56%, boosted by strong loan growth and higher interest earning asset yields, which more than offset a minor increase in cost of funds.

Net interest income increased $3.6 million, or 5%, over the prior quarter to $77.0 million.

  • Total interest income increased $5.3 million, or 5%.
    • Interest income on loans, including fees, increased $4.2 million, or 4%. Average loans increased $127 million, or 2%, and the corresponding yield earned increased to 6.19%.
  • Total interest expense increased $1.7 million, or 4%.
    • Interest expense on deposits increased $1.8 million, or 5%, led by $181 million, or 3%, of average interest-bearing deposit growth. Over half of the average balance growth was attributed to time deposit balances, which was driven in large part by the success of promotions that ran through mid-April. While the promotions ended early in the second quarter and time deposit rates were cut, the Bank’s time deposit offerings remained competitive and continued to see growth through the end of the period, albeit at a slower pace compared to the linked quarter.

During the third quarter of 2025, the Company recorded $1.6 million in provision for credit losses on loans(1) and a $425,000 provision expense for off balance sheet exposures. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company recorded $2.3 million in provision for credit losses on loans and a $75,000 credit to expense for off balance sheet exposures.

Non-interest income increased $128,000, or 1%, on the linked quarter, to $24.5 million. While increases were seen for most non-interest revenue streams on the linked quarter, non-interest income growth continued to be challenged in the third quarter of 2025. Largely offsetting the increases noted above was a $613,000, or 52%, decline in other non-interest income, as 2Q25 benefitted from non-recurring activity that included $557,000 of swap fees collected and a $74,000 gain on the sale of premises and equipment related mainly to the sale of a property owned by the Bank as a result of a prior acquisition.

Non-interest expenses increased $1.1 million, or 2% on the linked quarter to $53.8 million, largely due to increases in compensation expense related to higher bonus accrual levels tied to strong year-to-date operating results.

Financial Condition – September 30, 2025, Compared with June 30, 2025

Total assets increased $98 million, or 1%, on the linked quarter to $9.31 billion.

Total loans expanded $79 million, or 1%, on the linked quarter, with every market contributing to the growth. The CRE segment was the primary driver of growth for the quarter, increasing $38 million, or 1%, while the residential real estate segment grew $26 million, or 2%. Total line of credit usage was 47% as of September 30, 2025, compared to 48% as of June 30, 2025. C&I line of credit usage was 37% as of September 30, 2025, unchanged from June 30, 2025. While C&I line of credit utilization was flat and overall line of credit utilization experienced a slight decline over the linked quarter, utilization trends remain positive and well above the same period of the prior year.

Total deposits increased $137 million, or 2%, on the linked quarter. Non-interest-bearing demand accounts increased $74 million, or 5%, while total interest-bearing deposit accounts increased $63 million, or 1%.

(4) - Return on average assets equals net income divided by total average assets, annualized to reflect a full year return on average assets. Similarly, return on average equity equals net income divided by total average equity, annualized to reflect a full year return on average equity.
                             
(5) - Interest income on a FTE basis includes the additional amount of interest income that would have been earned if investments in certain tax-exempt interest earning assets had been made in assets subject to federal, state and local taxes yielding the same after-tax income. Interest income, yields and ratios on a FTE basis are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes net interest income on a FTE basis provides an insightful picture of the interest margin for comparison purposes. The FTE basis also allows management to assess the comparability of revenue arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The FTE basis assumes a federal corporate income tax rate of 21%.
                             
(6) - Quarterly net (charge-offs) recoveries to average loans ratios are not annualized.
