Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY

 

BancPlus recognizes the critical importance of assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats and safeguarding the security of its banking operations and data, including protecting its customers’ information. As described in more detail below, BancPlus has established policies, standards, processes, and practices for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats (collectively, the “cybersecurity program”). The Company has devoted significant financial and personnel resources to implement and maintain security measures to meet regulatory requirements and customer expectations, and has made significant investments to maintain the security of the Company’s banking operations and data and cybersecurity infrastructure.

Risk Management and Strategy

BancPlus’ cybersecurity program is integrated into its overall enterprise-wide risk management program and based on guidance established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”), the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (“FFIEC”) and other applicable regulatory standards, as described below.

Collaboration

BancPlus’ cybersecurity program seeks to address cybersecurity risks through a cross-functional approach that is focused on confidentiality, security, and availability of the information that the Company collects and stores by identifying and mitigating cybersecurity threats and effectively responding to cyber threats when they occur. BancPlus’ cybersecurity program is primarily administered at the management level by the Cybersecurity Committee, which is led by BancPlus’ Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) with other members of executive management serving as members. The Cybersecurity Committee is a cross-functional governing body that drives alignment on security decisions across the Company. The Cybersecurity Committee meets regularly to develop strategies for preserving the confidentiality, integrity and availability of Company and customer information, identifying and mitigating cybersecurity threats, and effectively responding to cybersecurity incidents. The cybersecurity program includes controls and procedures that are designed to ensure prompt escalation of appropriate cybersecurity incidents so that decisions regarding public disclosure and reporting of such incidents can be made by management and the BancPlus board of directors in a timely manner.

Risk Assessment

The Cybersecurity Committee, described below, meets as needed, but at least monthly, to review security performance metrics, identify security risks, and assess the status of approved security enhancements. The Cybersecurity Committee also considers and makes recommendations to the BancPlus board of directors on the Company’s cybersecurity program, including security policies and procedures, security service requirements, and risk mitigation strategies. At least annually, the Cybersecurity Committee conducts a cybersecurity risk assessment that considers information from internal stakeholders, known information security vulnerabilities, and information from external sources (e.g., reported security incidents that have impacted other companies, industry trends, and evaluations by third parties and consultants). The results of the assessment are used to drive alignment on, and prioritization of, initiatives to enhance the Company’s cybersecurity program, including security controls, make recommendations to improve processes, and inform a broader enterprise-level risk assessment that is presented to the Risk Committee of the BancPlus board of directors and members of management.

Technical Safeguards

As part of the Company’s cybersecurity program, BancPlus regularly assess and deploy technical safeguards designed to protect the Company’s information systems from cybersecurity threats. Such safeguards are regularly evaluated and improved based on vulnerability assessments, cybersecurity threat intelligence, and incident response experience. In the event of a cybersecurity incident, the CISO will notify the Cybersecurity Committee.

Incident Response and Recovery Planning

As part of its cybersecurity program, BancPlus has established comprehensive incident response and recovery plans in the case of a cybersecurity incident and continues to regularly test and evaluate the effectiveness of those plans. The Company’s incident response and recovery plans address and guide its employees, management, and the BancPlus board of directors on responses to a cybersecurity incident.

Third-Party Risk Management

BancPlus engages third party assessors, consultants and auditors in connection with the Company’s information security program, including to conduct external penetration testing, independent audits, and risk assessments. BancPlus also utilizes third party service providers in the ordinary course of business. The Company has implemented controls designed to identify and mitigate

cybersecurity threats associated with its use of third-party service providers. Such providers are subject to security risk assessments at the time of onboarding, contract renewal, and upon detection of an increase in risk profile. The Company uses a variety of inputs in such risk assessments, including information supplied by providers and third parties who assist in such risk assessment. In addition, the Company requires its providers to meet appropriate security requirements, controls, and responsibilities and investigate security incidents that have impacted the Company’s third-party providers, as appropriate.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business

BancPlus Corporation (the “Company”) is a bank holding company headquartered in Ridgeland, Mississippi. BankPlus (the “Bank”), the principal operating subsidiary and sole banking subsidiary of the Company, is a commercial bank primarily engaged in the business of commercial and consumer banking. In addition to general and consumer banking, other products and services offered though the Bank’s subsidiaries include certain insurance and annuity services, asset and investment management, and financial planning. Oakhurst Development, Inc. (“Oakhurst”) is a real estate subsidiary originally formed by the Company to liquidate a real estate development that was acquired by the Bank through foreclosure in 2002. Oakhurst became active again in March 2009 and holds loans and other real estate.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all other entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and financial reporting polices followed by the Company conform, in all material respects, to the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and to general practices within the financial services industry.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company owns interests in limited liability partnerships and 100% of the common stock of five statutory trusts, discussed in Note 12. As defined in applicable accounting standards, these are interests in variable interest entities (“VIE”) for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the accounts of the VIEs have not been consolidated into the Company’s financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The allowance for credit losses, fair value of financial instruments and status of contingencies are particularly subject to change. Material estimates that are subject to significant change in the near term are the allowance for credit losses for loans held for investment and the allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include interest and noninterest-bearing cash accounts and federal funds sold. The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains deposits with other financial institutions in amounts that exceed federal deposit insurance coverage. Furthermore, federal funds sold are essentially uncollateralized loans to other financial institutions. Management regularly evaluates the credit risk associated with these transactions and believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risks on cash and cash equivalents. The Company had deposits with correspondent banks that exceeded federally insured limits by $2.6 million at December 31, 2025. Net cash flows are reported for customer deposit transactions and short term borrowings. Cash flows from loans are classified at the time according to management’s intent to either sell or hold the loan for the foreseeable future. When management’s intent is to hold the loan for the foreseeable future, the cash flows of that loan are presented as investing cash flows.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income includes net income reported in the consolidated statements of income and changes in unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale and derivatives reported as a component of shareholders' equity. Unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale and derivatives, net of deferred income taxes, is the only component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the Company.

Securities

Certain debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held to maturity” and recorded at amortized cost. Trading securities are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value included in income. Debt

securities not classified as held to maturity or trading are classified as “available for sale” and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from income and reported in other comprehensive income (loss). Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Securities

For available-for-sale debt securities with fair value below amortized cost, when the Company does not intend to sell the debt security, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, the Company recognizes the credit component of a decline in fair value of a debt security in income and the remaining portion in other comprehensive income (loss). Decline in fair value related to a credit loss is measured using the discounted cash flow method. Credit loss recognition is limited to the amount that the fair value of the security is less than the amortized cost. The decline in fair value is recognized by establishing an allowance for credit loss (“ACL”) through provision for credit losses. Decline in fair value related to noncredit factors is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest from the estimate of credit losses for available-for-sale debt securities. The Company evaluates available-for-sale security declines in fair value on a quarterly basis.

For held-to-maturity debt securities, expected losses are evaluated and calculated on a collective basis for those securities that share risk characteristics. The Company aggregates record level securities calculations and reports the security portfolio segments based on shared risk characteristics. The only segment included in the held-to-maturity portfolio is states and political subdivisions, which is comprised of municipals.

The Company performs a quarterly loss reserve calculation for municipal and corporate bonds leveraging history of defaults and recoveries as well as a baseline economic forecast. A probability of default/loss-given default approach is used, with any non-rated bonds receiving a comparable rating estimate. Losses in high grade municipals, in which the Company tends to invest, have historically been very limited. The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest from the estimate of credit losses for held-to-maturity debt securities.

Loans Held for Sale

For loans held for sale originated after January 1, 2025, the Company elected the fair value option to offset the volatility in the derivative instruments of the forward commitments entered into in conjunction with the mortgage loans held for sale. These mortgage loans are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in the consolidated statements of income. Loans held for sale originated prior to January 1, 2025 are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. Loans held for sale are generally sold with mortgage servicing rights released.

Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their unpaid principal balance adjusted for net charge-offs, the allowance for credit losses, and any deferred fees and costs. Interest on loans is calculated by using the simple interest method on daily balances of the principal amount outstanding.

Loans that are 30 days or more past due based on payments received and applied to the loan are considered delinquent. Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that a borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest, but not necessarily principal, is doubtful. A loan is typically placed on non-accrual when the contractual payment of principal or interest becomes 90 days past due unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. Loans may be placed on non-accrual status regardless of whether or not such loans are considered past due. Any interest previously recorded, but deemed not collectible, is reversed and charged against current year income.

Payments subsequently received on non-accrual loans are applied to principal. Interest income is recognized to the extent that cash payments are received in excess of principal due. A loan may return to accrual status when principal and interest payments are no longer past due and collectability is reasonably assured.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans

The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Management's determination of the adequacy of the ACL is based on an assessment of the expected credit losses on loans over the expected life of the loan. The ACL is increased by provision expense and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries of amounts previously charged-off. Loans are charged off when management believes that the collection of the principal amount owed in full is unlikely. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Any interest that is accrued but not collected is reversed against interest income when

a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, which typically occurs prior to charging off all, or a portion, of a loan. The Company made the policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable on loans from the estimate of credit losses.

The Company calculates estimated credit loss on its portfolio primarily using quantitative methodologies using relevant available information from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. The ACL is evaluated and calculated on a collective basis for those loans which share similar risk characteristics. At each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether the loans in a pool continue to exhibit similar risk characteristics as the other loans and whether it needs to evaluate the allowance on an individual basis. The Company has chosen to segment its portfolio consistent with the manner in which it manages the risk of the type of credit. The Company’s segments for loans include commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, residential and consumer.

Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of each loan taking into consideration expected prepayments. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals, and modifications. Also included in the allowance for loans are qualitative reserves to cover losses that are expected but, in the Company’s assessment, may not be adequately represented in the quantitative method or the economic assumptions described above. For example, factors that the Company considers include the nature and size of the portfolio, portfolio concentrations, the volume and severity of past due loans and non-accrual loans and current business conditions.

In addition to the ACL on loans held for investment, the Company records a balance sheet liability for unfunded commitments, which is recognized if both of the following conditions are met: (1) the Company has a present contractual obligation to extend credit; and (2) the obligation is not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. Loan commitments may have a funded and unfunded portion, of which the liability for unfunded commitments is derived based upon the commitments to extend credit to a borrower (e.g., an estimate of expected credit losses is not established for unfunded portions of loan commitment that are unconditionally cancellable by the Company). The expected credit losses for funded portions are reported in the previously discussed ACL for loans. The Company segments its unfunded commitment portfolio consistent with the ACL calculation for loans. The Company incorporates the probability of funding (i.e., estimate of utilization) for each segment and then utilizes the ACL loss rates for each segment on an aggregate basis to calculate the allowance for unfunded commitments.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains the right to pledge or exchange the transferred asserts, and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed principally using the straight-line method and are charged to operating expenses over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and depreciated using the straight-line method over the terms of the respective leases or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. In cases where the Company has the right to renew the lease for additional periods, the lease term for the purpose of calculating amortization of the capitalized costs of the leasehold improvements is extended when the Company is reasonably assured that it will renew the lease. Costs of major additions and improvements are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Other Real Estate

Other real estate acquired through partial or total satisfaction of loans is initially carried at fair value less cost to sell at the date of acquisition (foreclosure), establishing a new cost basis. Any loss incurred at the date of acquisition is charged to the allowance for credit losses. Subsequent gains or losses on such assets and related operating income and expenses are reported in current operations when earned or incurred.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

The Bank is a member of the FHLB system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. The Company’s investment in member bank stock is carried at cost and included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The carrying value of the Company’s FHLB stock was evaluated and determined not to be impaired for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.

Intangible Assets

Goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets of an acquired business, is not amortized but tested for impairment on an annual basis or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. Identifiable intangible assets are acquired assets that lack physical substance but can be distinguished from goodwill because of contractual or legal rights or because the assets are capable of being sold or exchanged either on their own or in combination with a related contract, asset or liability. Other identifiable assets with finite lives include the following: (1) core deposits intangible assets, which are amounts recorded related to the value of acquired deposits, (2) amounts recorded related to the value of acquired customer relationships, and (3) amounts recorded related to non-competition agreements with certain individuals of acquired entities. Identifiable intangibles are initially recorded at fair value and are amortized over the periods benefited. These intangibles are evaluated for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount should be reevaluated. Impairment losses are recorded in other operating expense and reduce the carrying amount of the intangible.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance

The Company maintains bank-owned life insurance policies on certain current and former employees, which are recorded at their cash surrender values as determined by the insurance carriers. The appreciation in the cash surrender value of the policies is recognized as a component of other operating income in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into financial instruments, such as commitments to extend credit and letters of credit, to meet the financing needs of customers. Such instruments are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements until they are funded. The face amount of these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company is a party to interest rate swap agreements that relate to interest rate swaps that the Company enters into with customers to convert variable rate loans to a fixed rate. Under these customer interest rate swaps, the Company pays interest at a variable rate and receives interest at a fixed rate on the same notional amount. At December 31, 2025, the fair value of these customer interest rate swaps was $180,000 and was recorded in other assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Concurrent with the execution of each customer swap, the Company enters into an offsetting interest rate swap with an unaffiliated financial institution. Under the offsetting swap, the Company pays interest at the same fixed rate and receives interest at the same variable rate on an identical notional amount. At December 31, 2025, the fair value of these offseting swaps was $180,000 and was recorded in other liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of the customer and offsetting swaps generally offset, with residual exposure limited primarily to counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk is evaluated using established risk management practices, including consideration of counterparty risk ratings, probability of default, and loss given default assumptions.

 

The Company has risk participation agreements with financial institution counterparties related to interest rate swaps on loans in which the Company is a participant. These agreements provide credit protection to the financial institution in the event the borrower fails to perform under its derivative contract. In addition, the Company has risk participation agreements related to interest rate swaps on loans for which the Company is the lead bank. These agreements provide credit protection to the Company should the borrower fail to perform under its derivative contract. Fees received on these derivative transactions, net of estimated credit losses associated with the related credit exposure, are recognized in earnings at the time the transaction is executed. At December 31, 2025, the fair value of these risk participation agreements was $148,000 and was recorded in other assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

At December 31, 2025, the Company had $111,000, net of tax, of unrealized holding gains on derivatives recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

Mortgage Banking Derivatives

 

The Company also enters into interest rate lock commitments in conjunction with its mortgage origination business. These are commitments to originate loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the customers have locked into that interest rate. The Company locks in the rate with an investor and commits to deliver the loan if settlement occurs (“best efforts”) or commits to deliver the locked loan in a binding (“mandatory”) delivery program with an investor. For more information about mortgage banking derivatives see Note 17 Commitments and Contingencies.

Revenue Recognition

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 implements a common revenue standard that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts. The majority of the Company’s revenues come from interest income and other sources, including loans and securities that are outside the scope of Topic 606. The Company’s services that fall within the scope of Topic 606 are presented within other operating income and are recognized as revenue as the Company satisfies its obligation to the customer. Services within the scope of Topic 606 include service charges on deposits, interchange income, wealth management fees and investment brokerage fees. The Company generally acts in a principal capacity, on its own behalf, in most of its contracts with customers. In such transactions, revenue is recognized and the related costs to provide services is recognized on a gross basis in the financial statements. In some cases, the Company acts in an agent capacity, deriving revenue through assisting other entities in transactions with customers. In such transactions, revenue and the related costs to provide services is recognized on a net basis in the financial statements. These transactions recognized on a net basis primarily relate to insurance and brokerage commissions and fees derived from customers' use of various interchange and ATM/debit card networks.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance, ASC Topic 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. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or 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. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company did not have a valuation allowance recorded with respect to the realization of deferred income taxes at December 31, 2025 or 2024.

Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Uncertain tax positions are recognized if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company did not recognize any uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2025 or 2024.

Stock Based Compensation

Compensation cost is recognized for restricted stock awards issued to employees based on the fair value of these awards at the date of the grant. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted number of common shares outstanding during the period and the number of common shares that would have been outstanding assuming the issuance of common shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the reporting period.

Operating Segments

The Company’s reportable segments are determined by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), based upon information provided about the Company’s revenue streams from its various products and services, primarily financial services operations. The Company has determined that its CODM is not a single individual, but rather a group of executives comprising the Chief Executive

Officer and other senior executives. The Company’s operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all financial services operations are considered by management to be aggregated into one reportable operating segment. The CODM uses consolidated net income to benchmark the Company against its competitors and assess performance. Revenue is generated by loans, investments, and deposits. Interest expense, provision for credit losses, and salaries and employee benefits expense provide significant expenses in the financial services operations. Total assets for the Company's reportable segment are as reported on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Risks and Uncertainties

The state of the overall economy, including the effect of the volatility and direction of market interest rates as a result of continuing worldwide macroeconomic uncertainty, could negatively impact our financial performance. Such a decline could impact the Company’s ability to make distributions to our shareholders or meet other financial obligations.

Accounting Changes and Reclassifications

Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to current presentations. Reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or shareholders’ equity.

Branch Sale

On August 25, 2025, the Company entered into a Deposit Assumption and Asset Purchase Agreement to sell its branch located in McComb, Mississippi, including all of its assets and liabilities. As of December 31, 2025, the branch sale was expected to include approximately $14.8 million of loans, $791,000 of premises and equipment, and $53.2 million of deposits subject to an 8% deposit premium. The sale is expected to close in the first half of 2026 subject to customary closing conditions. At the time of this filing, the accounting for this transaction was not complete.

Effect of Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Update 2023-07 (“ASU 2023-07”), “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 which expands segment disclosure requirements for public entities to require disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. ASU 2023-07 was effective for the Company for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2024 and interim periods beginning on January 1, 2025. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 which requires entities to disclose in their rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about federal, state and foreign income taxes and to provide more details about the reconciling items in some categories if items meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes for annual periods and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold, among other things. ASU 2023-09 was effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning on January 1, 2025, though early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effect of Recently Issued, But Not Yet Adopted Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Update 2024-03 (“ASU 2024-03”), “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures.” In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 which requires entities to disclose details about specific expenses, such as inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion, included within commonly presented income statement expense captions. The disaggregated expense captions must be disclosed in a tabular format in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2027 and interim periods beginning on January 1, 2028. The adoption of ASU 2024-03 is not expected to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update 2025-08 (“ASU 2025-08”), “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans.” In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08 which expands the scope of the “gross‑up” method, formerly applicable only to purchased credit‑deteriorated ("PCD") assets, to include acquired non‑PCD loans that meet certain criteria, now referred to as “purchased seasoned loans” ("PSLs"). Under this model, an allowance for expected credit losses is recognized at acquisition, offsetting the loan’s amortized cost basis, thereby eliminating the day-one credit‑loss expense previously required for non‑PCD assets. PSLs are defined as non‑PCD loans acquired either through a business combination or purchased more than 90 days after origination when the acquirer was not involved in origination. ASU 2025-08 is effective, on a prospective basis for loans acquired

on or after the adoption date, for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2027, though early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2025-08 is not expected to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update 2025-10 ("ASU 2025-10"), "Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities." In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, which establishes comprehensive U.S. GAAP guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of government grants received by business entities. Under ASU 2025-10, a government grant is recognized only when it is probable the business will meet the grant's conditions and will receive the grant, and when it meets the recognition criteria for either an asset-related or income-related grant. The update permits either a cost-accumulation or deferred-income approach for asset-related grants, while income-related grants must be recognized systematically over the related expense periods. Entities must also present grant-related income appropriately and disclose the nature of the grants, the accounting policies applied, and significant terms and conditions. ASU 2025-10 is effective on December 15, 2028 for all public entities, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2025-10 is not expected to materially impact the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company realized losses on the sale of securities of $6.3 million. During 2025, the Company executed a bond portfolio restructuring to improve overall portfolio performance by selling lower-yielding securities and using the proceeds to purchase higher-yielding securities in the current environment. As a result, the Company replaced securities with a total book value of $176.0 million and a weighted average yield of 1.11% with new securities totaling $169.6 million and a weighted average yield of 4.3%, realizing a gross loss of $6.3 million. Total proceeds from the sales of available for sale securities during the year ended December 31, 2025 were $169.6 million. All mortgage-backed securities in the above tables were issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or sponsored agencies. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had an allowance for credit losses on available for sale securities of zero. The following table provides a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses on securities available for sale for the periods presented.

The number of debt securities in an unrealized loss position decreased from 342 at December 31, 2024 to 228 at December 31, 2025. The unrealized losses shown above are due to increases in market rates over the yields available at the time of purchase of the underlying securities and not credit quality. The unrealized losses on debt securities have not been recognized as income because the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers have the right to call or prepay certain obligations with, or without, call or prepayment penalties.

Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal net of discounts and premiums on acquired loans, before allowance for credit losses. Interest on loans is calculated using the simple interest method on daily balances of the principal amount outstanding.

Loan Origination/Risk Management/Credit Concentration - The Company has certain lending policies and procedures in place that are designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. The Company’s board of directors reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, the Company has concentrations of credit risks related to the real estate market, including residential, commercial, and construction and land development lending. Most of the Company’s lending activity occurs within Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and Florida.

The risk characteristics of the Company’s material portfolio segments are as follows:

Residential Real Estate Loans - The residential real estate loan portfolio consists of residential loans for single and multifamily properties. Residential loans are generally secured by owner occupied 1-4 family residences. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income and credit rating of the borrowers and can be impacted by economic conditions within their market area. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

Commercial Real Estate Loans - Commercial real estate loans include construction and land development loans, loans secured by farmland and other commercial real estate loans.

Construction and land development loans are usually based upon estimates of costs and estimated value of the completed project and include independent appraisal reviews and a financial analysis of the developers and property owners. Sources of repayment of these loans may include permanent loans, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are considered to be higher risk than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing.

Farmland loans are generally made for the purpose of acquiring land devoted to crop production or livestock, the propagation of timber or the operation of a similar type business on the secured property. Sources of repayment for these loans generally include income generated from operations of a business on the property, rental income, or sales of timber. Repayment may be impacted by changes in economic conditions which affect underlying collateral values.

Commercial real estate loans typically involve larger principal amounts and repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operations of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral and risk grade criteria.

Commercial and Industrial Loans - The commercial and industrial loan portfolio consists of loans to commercial customers for use in normal business operations to finance working capital needs, equipment purchase or other expansion projects. Commercial loan underwriting standards are designed to promote relationship banking rather than transactional banking and are underwritten based on the borrower’s expected ability to profitably operate its business. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.

Agricultural production and other loans to farmers - The agricultural production and other loans to farmers portfolio consists of loans for the purpose of financing agricultural production, the growing and storing of crops, the marketing, and the carrying of agricultural products. This portfolio also includes loans for the purposes of breeding, raising, fattening, or marketing livestock, fish production, and forest and timber production as well as any other loans to made to farmers not secured by real estate. Sources of repayment for these loans generally include income generated from the operations of the business.

Consumer and other - The consumer and other loan portfolio consists of various term and line of credit loans such as automobile loans and loans for other personal purposes. Repayment for these types of loans will come from a borrower’s income sources that are typically independent of the loan purpose. Credit risk is driven by consumer economic factors (such as unemployment and general economic conditions in the Company’s market area) and the creditworthiness of a borrower.

Loans that are 30 days or more past due based on payments received and applied to the loan are considered delinquent. Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that a borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest, but not necessarily principal, is doubtful. A loan is typically placed on non-accrual when the contractual payment of principal or interest becomes 90 days past due unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. Loans may be placed on non-accrual status regardless of whether or not such loans

are considered past due. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any interest that is accrued, but not collected, is reversed against interest income.

Payments subsequently received on non-accrual loans are applied to principal. Interest income is recognized to the extent that cash payments are received in excess of principal due. A loan may return to accrual status when principal and interest payments are no longer past due and collectability is reasonably assured.

The following table presents the amortized cost basis of nonaccrual loans, segregated by class as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

A loan is considered collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. During the year ended December 31, 2025, there were no significant changes to the collateral which secures the collateral-dependent loans, whether due to general deterioration or other reason. The following table presents the amortized cost basis of collateral-dependent loans by class and collateral type as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Credit Loss [Abstract]  
Allowance for Credit Losses

Note 4: Allowance for Credit Losses

As management evaluates the allowance for credit losses, it is categorized based on specific allocations and general allocations for each major loan category for loans not individually evaluated or deemed collateral-dependent or classified, segmented by loan class based on historical loss experience and other risk factors. In assessing general economic conditions, management monitors several factors, including regional and national economic conditions, real estate market conditions and recently enacted regulations with potential economic effects.

Credit Quality Indicators – The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a grade to each of its loans. Loans are rated on a scale of 1 to 10. A description of the general characteristics of the 10 risk ratings is as follows:

Risk Grades 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 – These grades include loans to borrowers of solid credit quality with no higher than normal risk of loss. Borrowers in these categories have satisfactory financial strength and adequate cash flow coverage to service debt requirements. Collateral type and quality, as well as protection, are adequate. The borrower’s management is strong and capable, financial information is timely and accurate, and guarantor support is strong.
Risk Grade 6 – Pass and Watch – Loans in this category are currently protected, but risks are emerging that warrant more than normal attention and have above average risk of loss. These factors require a higher level of monitoring and may include emerging balance sheet weaknesses, strained liquidity, increased leverage ratio, and weakening management. Collateral support is less marketable or limited use and, although the protection is sufficient, the loan-to-value ratio may not meet policy guidelines. Guarantors may have a limited ability and willingness to provide intermediate support. Also, considerations surrounding industry deterioration, increased competition and minor policy exceptions concerning structure or amortization may affect the rating of these loans.
Risk Grade 7 – Special Mention – The Company’s special mention rating is intended to closely align with the regulatory definition. A special mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these weaknesses may result in deterioration of repayment prospects. These weaknesses may include deteriorating balance sheets, strained liquidity and elevated leverage ratios. Cash flow and profitability are marginally sufficient to service debt and collateral is exhibiting signs of decline in value; however, protection is currently sufficient. Limited management experience or weaknesses have emerged requiring more than normal supervision and uncertainties regarding the quality of the financials are not explained. Guarantor has very limited ability and willingness to provide short- term support. Moderate policy exceptions concerning structure or amortization may be considered in order to provide relief to the borrower. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
Risk Grade 8 – Substandard – A loan in this category is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged. Assets so classified have a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes the liquidation of the debt. Factors affecting these loans may include balance sheet deterioration that has resulted in illiquid, highly leveraged or deficit net worth, cash flow that is not able to service debts as structured, collateral protection may be inadequate, guarantor support may be virtually non-existent, and management is poor. Loans may require a major policy exception concerning structure or amortization. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will incur some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Risk Grade 9 – Doubtful – Loans classified doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Risk Grade 10 – Loss – Loans are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuing to carry them as an active asset is not warranted. It does not mean that there will be no recovery, but, rather, it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off these assets even though a partial recovery may be possible in the future.

 

Pass loans for the Company include loans in Risk Grades 1 - 6. Special mention loans for the Company include loans in Risk Grade 7. Classified loans for the Company include loans in Risk Grades 8, 9 and 10. Loans may be classified but not considered individually evaluated if the loan falls below the established minimum dollar threshold for individual evaluation of $1.0 million.

The following table reflects loans by credit quality indicator and origination year at December 31, 2025. Loans acquired are shown in the table by origination year. The Company had an immaterial amount of revolving loans converted to term loans at December 31, 2025.

As a condition to borrowing funds from the FHLB, the Bank is required to purchase stock in the FHLB. No ready market exists for the stock, and it has no quoted fair value. The investment in FHLB stock can only be redeemed by the FHLB at face value.

Intangible assets with a determinable useful life are amortized to other operating expense over their respective useful lives. Core deposit intangibles and acquired customer relationships are amortized over 15 years and non-competition intangibles are amortized over three years.

Leases

Leases [Abstract]  
Leases

Note 7: Leases

The Company determines at inception if a contract is or contains a lease. Operating lease assets are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, and operating lease liabilities are included in operating lease liabilities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company has made an accounting policy election not to recognize short-term lease assets and liabilities (less than a 12-month term) or immaterial leases in its consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes the lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. The Company has no finance leases.

Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company’s leases do not include an implicit rate, so the Company uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate which is derived from information available at the lease commencement date when determining the present value of lease payments.

The Company's lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees. Most of the Company's operating long-term leases are real estate leases. The Company leases real estate under non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2121. These leases generally contain renewal options for periods ranging from one to twenty-five years. Because the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise these renewal options, the optional periods are not included in determining the lease term, and associated payments under these renewal options are excluded from lease payments. The Company’s office space leases require it to make variable payments for the Company’s share of property taxes, insurance and common area costs. These variable costs are not included in the lease payments used to determine lease liability and are recognized as variable costs when incurred. Sublease income is recognized as other income when received.

The Bank may not prepay single payment advances without paying a prepayment penalty. These advances are subject to quarterly calls until maturity by the FHLB. The Company had $2.04 billion as of December 31, 2025 and $1.93 billion as of December 31, 2024 available in additional short and long-term borrowing capacity from the FHLB of Dallas. As a condition to borrowing funds from the FHLB, the Bank may be required to purchase additional stock in the FHLB prior to obtaining future advances.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had the ability to draw additional borrowings of $1.29 billion and $1.20 billion, respectively, from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. The ability to draw borrowings is based on loan collateral pledged with principal balances of $1.57 billion and $1.48 billion as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, subject to the approval from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

On June 13, 2025, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the "Initial Loan Agreement") with First Horizon Bank ("First Horizon"). Under the terms of the Initial Loan Agreement, First Horizon agreed to provide the Company with a $30.0 million term loan (the "Initial Term Loan"), which was drawn down in full. On December 29, 2025, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the "Amended Loan Agreement") with First Horizon. Under the terms of the Amended Loan Agreement, First Horizon agreed to provide the Company with an additional $10.0 million term loan (the "Subsequent Term Loan", collectively with the Initial Term Loan, the “Term Loans”), which was also drawn down in full. At December 31, 2025, the balance on the Term Loans was $38.5 million.

The Term Loans are collateralized by all of the outstanding shares of common stock of BankPlus pursuant to the terms of a Pledge Agreement dated June 13, 2025, and amended on December 29, 2025, between the Company and First Horizon (the “Pledge Agreement”).

The Term Loans bear interest at the prime rate of interest as reported in The Wall Street Journal published daily minus a margin of 0.55%, subject to a minimum rate of 4.00%. Principal and interest payments are due quarterly on each March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15 in the amount of $750,000 for the Initial Term Loan and $250,000 for the Subsequent Term Loan. The Term Loans may be prepaid in full or in part at any time with no prepayment penalty. In conjunction with the Initial Term Loan, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $38,000. These issuance costs are netted with the balance of the Initial Term Loan on the Company's consolidated balance sheet and are being amortized over the life of the Initial Term Loan. The Initial Term Loan matures on June 15, 2030. The Subsequent Term Loan matures on December 29, 2030. At December 31, 2025, the remaining unamortized balance of these issuance costs was $34,000.

The Amended Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, and customary affirmative covenants, related to, among other things, the maintenance of certain financial standards, the payment of dividends from the Bank to the Company and the provision of financial and other information to First Horizon. The Company and/or the Bank, as provided for in the Amended Loan Agreement, must maintain, among other financial standards, (i) a "Well Capitalized" rating as required by any applicable regulatory authority, (ii) a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of not less than 8.00%, (iii) a return on average assets of at least 0.75% and (iv) a loan to value ratio of not more than 40%. The Amended Loan Agreement also contains customary negative covenants, related to, among other things, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, changes in management, mergers, dispositions, dividends and other distributions.

The Amended Loan Agreement provides for events of default customary for loans of this type, including but not limited to non-payment, breaches or defaults in the performance of covenants, insolvency, bankruptcy and a change in control of the Bank or the Company, as well as the initiation of certain actions by regulators of the Bank or the Company or the failure by the Bank or the Company to comply with the terms of any memorandum of understanding or letter agreement with any bank regulatory agency. During the existence of an event of default, all outstanding amounts of the Term Loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the rate otherwise applicable thereto plus 4.00% and (ii) the maximum rate that may be charged

under the Amended Loan Agreement, and First Horizon may take various actions, including declaring all outstanding amounts of the Amended Term Loan immediately due and payable and exercising all rights with respect to the collateral.

Required principal payments on FHLB advances and other borrowings are as follows.

Subordinated Debentures and Trust Preferred Securities

Note 12: Subordinated Debentures and Trust Preferred Securities

Subordinated Debentures

On June 4, 2020, the Company entered into a Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain qualified institutional buyers and institutional accredited investors pursuant to which the Company issued and sold $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.000% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due June 15, 2030 (the “Notes”). The Company incurred issuance costs of $1.4 million in conjunction with the issuance of the Notes. These issuance costs are netted with the balance of the Notes on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and will be amortized over the life of the Notes. At December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the remaining unamortized balance of these issuance costs were zero and $785,000, respectively. The Notes initially bore interest at a rate of 6.000% per annum from and including June 4, 2020, to but excluding June 15, 2025 or the early redemption date, with interest during this period payable semiannually in arrears. From and including June 15, 2025, to but excluding the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate reset quarterly to an annual floating rate equal to Three-Month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 586 basis points, with interest during this period payable quarterly in arrears. On June 16, 2025, the Company redeemed the Notes in full in accordance with their terms. The total redemption price was equal to $61.8 million, representing 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, June 16, 2025. The Notes were redeemed using the proceeds from a $30.0 million term loan and cash on hand. In conjunction with the redemption of the Notes the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $725,000 in the second quarter of 2025 related to the write off unamortized issuance costs at the time of extinguishment.

Effective March 1, 2022, in conjunction with the FTC Merger, the Company assumed FTC’s obligations under its Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2020, and the several purchasers of the $21.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030 issued thereunder (the “Subordinated Notes”). The Subordinated Notes will mature on December 30, 2030 and bear interest at an initial fixed rate of 5.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears. From and including December 30, 2025, to but excluding the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate will reset quarterly to a Three-Month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 527 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. On December 30, 2025, the Company redeemed the Subordinated Notes in full in accordance with their terms. The total redemption price was equal to $21.6 million, representing 100% of the aggregate principal of the Subordinated Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding December 30, 2025. The Subordinated Notes were redeemed using the proceeds of a $10.0 million term loan and cash on hand.

Trust Preferred Securities

The Company also owns the outstanding common stock of business trusts that have issued preferred capital securities to third parties. Under a grandfathering provision in the Basel III capital rules that applies to bank holding companies with less than $15 billion in total consolidated assets, these preferred capital securities have qualified as Tier 1 capital for the Company, subject to regulatory rules and limits. These trusts used the proceeds from the issuance of the common stock and the preferred capital securities to purchase subordinated debentures issued by the Company. These subordinated debentures are these trusts’ only assets, and quarterly interest payments on these subordinated debentures are the sole source of cash for these trusts to pay quarterly distributions on the common stock and preferred capital securities. The Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the trusts’ obligations with respect to the preferred capital securities.

The Company has the right to defer the payment of interest on the subordinated debentures at any time, or from time to time, for periods not exceeding five years. If interest payments on the subordinated debentures are deferred, the distributions on the trust preferred securities are also deferred. Interest on the subordinated debentures and distributions on the trust preferred securities are cumulative.

The following is a summary of debentures payable to statutory trusts.

The subordinated debentures payable to statutory trusts vary from the amount carried on the consolidated balance sheet due to the remaining purchase discount which was established upon the SCC Merger and is being amortized over the life of the debentures. At December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the remaining unamortized purchase discount was $3.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

Interest rates adjust quarterly for the subordinated debentures with rates indexed with SOFR.

The Company has the right to redeem the debentures prior to maturity. Upon redemption of the subordinated debentures payable to a statutory trust, the trust will also liquidate its common stock and preferred capital securities.

Equity [Abstract]  
Shareholders' Equity

Note 13: Shareholders’ Equity

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation authorize 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with no par value, which may be issued from time to time and in one or more classes or series upon authorization of the Board of Directors.

In 2022, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement (including annexes thereto, collectively, the “Purchase Agreement”) with the U.S. Department of Treasury (the “Treasury”) under the Emergency Capital Investment Program (“ECIP”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell 250,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock designated as Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series ECIP (the “Preferred Stock”) for an aggregate purchase price of $250.0 million in cash. The Preferred Stock was issued in a private placement exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Preferred Stock bore no dividend for the first two years following the issuance of the Preferred Stock. Thereafter, the annual dividend rate will be adjusted, not lower than 0.5% and not higher than 2.0%, based on our extension of credit for qualified lending as defined in the terms of the ECIP Interim Final Rule, the Purchase Agreement and the Certificate of Designations (the “Certificate of Designations”) and the investment amount. After the tenth anniversary of the issuance of the Preferred Stock, the dividend rate will be fixed based on the average annual amount of lending in years 2 through 10 compared to the baseline qualified lending and the average investment amount. The dividends will be payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15. The Company had accrued preferred dividends payable of $139,000 and $222,000 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Company on or after September 15, 2027 (or earlier in the event of loss of regulatory capital treatment), subject to the approval of the appropriate federal banking regulator and in accordance with the federal banking agencies’ regulatory capital regulations. The restrictions on redemption are set forth in the Certificate of Designations filed with the Mississippi Secretary of State for the purpose of amending its Articles of Incorporation to fix the designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of the Preferred Stock as described in Item 5.03 of our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 23, 2022.

On January 10, 2025, the Company entered into a Preferred Stock ECIP Securities Purchase Option Agreement (“POA”) with the Treasury pursuant to which the Company has the right but not the obligation to repurchase the Preferred Stock at a substantial discount to par value based on a pricing formula established by the Treasury. This repurchase option is not currently exercisable for BancPlus until June 22, 2032, and the repurchase option expires on June 22, 2037. The repurchase price is set in the POA as the present value of the future cash flows of the Preferred Stock, defined in the POA as the annual dividend rate divided by the cost of equity as specified in the POA at the closing date (approximately the date the option is exercised). Treasury has set the cost of equity for the ECIP repurchase option based on the risk-free rate, defined as the higher of the prevailing Kroll-recommended US normalized risk-free rate or the spot yield on 20-year U.S. treasury bonds, plus an equity risk premium (currently 5%) times a market beta of 0.5.

 

The POA grants BancPlus a unilateral option to repurchase the Preferred Stock from Treasury over a 15-year period. However, during the first 10 years of this period, exercise of the option is subject to BancPlus satisfying at least one of three “Threshold Conditions” that demonstrate fulfillment of community development and impact lending objectives defined under the ECIP framework. These include the “Deep Impact Lending,” “Qualified Lending,” and “Rate Reduction” thresholds. The Company does not currently meet any of the Threshold Conditions necessary to exercise the purchase option, and there can be no assurance whether and when the Threshold Conditions will be met. Additionally, the Company must comply with the ECIP agreements and rules, continue to qualify as a CDFI, and be “well-capitalized” under federal Prompt Corrective Action guidelines. The purchase option granted under the POA is a freestanding financial instrument under GAAP. The Company analyzed the fair value of the repurchase option in accordance with ASC Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurements" and determined that the purchase option value is immaterial as of December 31, 2025.

In the Purchase Agreement, the Company also agreed to, upon the future written request of the Treasury, comply with the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement included as an annex to the Purchase Agreement and incorporated by reference therein (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), providing for certain registration rights of the Treasury. As long as the Company is not eligible to file on Form S-3, upon written request of the Treasury, the Company would be required to prepare and file a shelf registration statement covering the potential resale of the Preferred Stock as promptly as practicable. Once the Company is eligible to file on Form S-3, the Company agreed to prepare and file such shelf registration statement within 30 days. The Registration Rights Agreement also includes customary “piggyback” registration rights, suspension rights, indemnification, contribution, and assignment provisions.

Employee Benefits

Note 15: Employee Benefits

The Company has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) that covers all employees of the Bank who are 21 years of age and work in a position requiring at least one thousand hours of service annually. The ESOP also has 401(k) provisions that allow for employee tax deferred contributions. Participants may make contributions to the ESOP in accordance with applicable regulations and the ESOP’s provisions. The Company makes a 3% “safe harbor” matching contribution, plus an additional matching contribution equal to 50% of the next 2% of an employee’s salary deferral contributions in excess of 3%. Additional contributions are made to the ESOP at the discretion of the board of directors. Total contribution expenses related to the ESOP were $4.6 million in 2025, $4.4 million in 2024, and $4.2 million in 2023.

The ESOP owned 1,385,754 and 1,454,243 shares of the Company's common stock at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The ESOP can enter into loans, collateralized by ESOP shares, with the Company in connection with the repurchase of shares of Company stock sold by participants in accordance with diversification provisions of the ESOP. These unallocated shares would be released to participants proportionately as the loans are repaid. Dividends on allocated shares are recorded as dividends and charged to retained earnings. Dividends on unallocated shares, if any, that are used to repay the loan would be treated as compensation expense. As of December 31, 2025, the ESOP had no loans with the Company.

 

Distributions of the ESOP may be either in cash or Company common stock. The allocated shares are subject to a put option, whereby the Company will provide a market for a specified period of time for shares distributed to participants. The put price is the appraised value of the stock. The fair value of shares of common stock held by the ESOP are deducted from permanent shareholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets and reflected in a line item below liabilities and above shareholders’ equity. This presentation is necessary in order to recognize the put option within the ESOP-owned shares, consistent with SEC guidelines, that is present as long as the Company is not publicly traded. The Company uses a valuation by an external third-party to determine the maximum possible cash obligation related to these securities. Increases or decreases in the value of the cash obligation are included in a separate line item in the consolidated statements of changes of shareholders’ equity. The fair value of shares held by the ESOP at December 31, 2025 was $105.3 million, based on the Company’s previously disclosed appraised value of $76.00 per share of common stock. The fair value of shares held by the ESOP at December 31, 2024 was $95.3 million, based on the Company’s previously disclosed appraised value of $65.50 per share of common stock. As previously disclosed, these appraised values were determined solely for purposes of the ESOP’s administration and are therefore subject to certain limitations, qualifications and assumptions and may not reflect the fair value of the Company’s common stock and should not be relied on for any reason. Neither the Company nor the ESOP has any obligation to seek an adjusted valuation, to use these appraised values for any other purpose or, if the Company or the ESOP obtains a new appraised value, to disclose such new appraised value.

Commitments and Contingencies

Note 17: Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company, including subsidiaries, is party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that loss contingencies, if any, arising from pending litigation and regulatory matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or liquidity.

Credit Related Financial Instruments

The Bank makes commitments to extend credit and issue standby and commercial letters of credit in the normal course of business in order to fulfill the financing needs of its customers. These instruments involve, to varying degree, elements of credit and interest rate risk.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend money to customers pursuant to certain specified conditions and generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Because many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. When making these

commitments, the Bank applies the same credit policies and standards as it does in the normal lending process. Collateral is obtained based upon the assessed credit worthiness of the borrower.

Standby and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. When issuing letters of credit, the Bank applies the same credit policies and standards as it does in the normal lending process. Collateral is obtained based upon the Bank's assessment of a customer's credit worthiness.

The Bank's maximum credit exposure in the event of non-performance for loan commitments and standby and commercial letters of credit is represented by the contract amount of the instruments. The following is a summary of these instruments.

The total commitments to originate mortgages to be held for sale were $19.1 million and $14.8 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These commitments are accounted for as derivatives and marked to fair value through income. The Bank also engages in forward sales contracts with mortgage investors to purchase mortgages held for sale. These forward sales agreements that have a determined price and expiration date are accounted for as derivatives and marked to fair value through income. The Bank had $12.0 million and $17.7 million in locked forward sales agreements in place at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, derivatives with a positive fair value of $550,000 and $234,000, respectively, were included in other assets and derivatives with a negative fair value of $1,000 and $67,000, respectively, were included in other liabilities.

Note 18: Regulatory Matters

The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements triggers certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In 2019, the federal bank regulatory agencies finalized a rule that simplifies capital requirements for qualifying community banks by providing an option to use a simple leverage ratio to measure capital adequacy and to not calculate risk-based capital ratios. A qualifying community bank has less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets, limited amounts of off-balance-sheet exposures and trading assets and liabilities, and a leverage ratio greater than 9.0% percent. The community bank leverage ratio (“CBLR”) framework was effective on January 1, 2020, and the Company and the Bank elected to adopt the optional CBLR framework in the third quarter of 2022, as an alternative to the generally applicable capital rules.

A final rule adopted by the federal banking agencies in February 2019 provides banking organizations with the option to phase in, over a three-year period, the adverse day-one regulatory capital effects of the adoption of CECL. The Company adopted CECL in the first quarter of 2023 and has elected to utilize the three-year transition period.

The Bank is also subject to capital requirements under the prompt corrective action regime. The prompt corrective action framework applies only to insured depository institutions, such as the Bank, and not to their holding companies, such as the Company. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank maintained a leverage ratio of more than 9.0% and, as an institution that has elected to adopt the CBLR framework, the Bank was therefore categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

The following table presents actual and required capital ratios for the Company and the Bank under the CBLR and prompt corrective action regulations for the relevant periods.

Fair Value

Note 19: Fair Value

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. Valuations within these levels are based upon:

Level 1

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date

Level 2

Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in 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 that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing assets or liabilities

Management monitors the availability of observable market data to assess the appropriate classification of assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the transfer is reported at the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers of financial instruments between fair value levels during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value.

Securities - The Company utilizes an independent pricing service to advise it on the value of the securities portfolio. Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. For these investments, the inputs used by the pricing service to determine fair value may include one, or a combination of several, observable inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data market research publications and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. For Level 3 securities, in addition to the inputs noted above, inputs used by the pricing service to determine fair value may also include estimated duration, municipal bond interest rate curve, and tax effected yield. There were no Level 3 securities as of December 31, 2025 or

December 31, 2024. The Company’s treasury department and Asset Liability Management Committee review the aggregate fair values of the securities portfolio.

Loans Held for Sale - Fair values for loans held for sale are derived from current market pricing for similar loans, adjusted for the probability that a loan commitment will result in an originated loan.

Collateral-dependent Loans with Credit Losses – Loans for which it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest due according to contractual terms are measured to determine if any credit loss exists on a non-recurring basis. Allowable methods for determining the amount of the credit loss include estimating fair value using the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. Specific allowances for these loans are based on comparisons of the recorded carrying values of the loans to the present value of the estimated cash flows of these loans at each loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral net of selling costs if the loan is collateral-dependent. Loans that are primarily collateral dependent loans are assessed using a fair value approach. Fair value estimates for collateral-dependent loans are derived from appraised values based on the current market value or as-is value of the property being appraised. Appraisals are based on certain assumptions, which may include construction or development status and the highest and best use of the property. The appraisals are reviewed by the Company’s appraisal department to ensure they are acceptable. Loans that have experienced a credit loss are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Other Real Estate Owned - Other real estate owned is initially recorded at fair value less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated cost to sell. Fair value estimates begin with obtaining a current appraisal of the collateral value. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are performed periodically by the Company’s appraisal department and any subsequent reduction in value is recognized by a charge to income.

Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned are performed by certified appraisers whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed by the Company. These appraisals are reviewed by a member of the Appraisal Department to ensure they are acceptable. Appraised values are adjusted down for costs associated with asset disposal. The significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used in the fair value measurement of collateral for collateral impaired loans and other real estate are primarily based on appraisals, observable market conditions, and other factors which may affect collectability. The appraisals use marketability and comparability discounts, which generally range from 5% to 15%. Assessment of the significance of a specific input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset. It is reasonably possible that a change in the estimated fair value for assets measured using Level 3 inputs could occur in the future.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, are summarized below:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Generally accepted accounting principles require disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the balance sheet, that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions significantly affect the estimates and, as such, the derived fair value may not be indicative of the value negotiated in an actual sale and may not be comparable to that reported by other financial institutions. In addition, the fair value estimates are based on existing financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

Stock Based Compensation

Note 21: Stock Based Compensation

Under the Company’s long-term incentive program, officers and directors are eligible to receive equity-based awards under the 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”). In connection with awards granted under the 2018 LTIP, a maximum of 750,000 shares of BancPlus common stock may be issued. As of December 31, 2025, 183,990 shares of BancPlus common stock were available for issuance under the 2018 LTIP Plan. The awards may consist of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights, performance unit awards, or any combination thereof. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 restricted stock awards (“RSA”) were granted for 96,212, 115,442, and 93,598 shares of common stock, respectively. RSAs granted under the LTIP generally vest over one to ten years. Nonvested restricted stock awards are included in the Company’s common stock outstanding. Compensation expense for RSAs granted under the LTIP is recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of the stock at the grant date, with forfeitures recognized as they occur.

Stock based compensation that has been charged against income was $6.5 million, $5.0 million, and $4.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, there was $8.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested RSAs. The cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 2.58.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2025
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all other entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and financial reporting polices followed by the Company conform, in all material respects, to the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and to general practices within the financial services industry.

Variable Interest Entities

Variable Interest Entities

The Company owns interests in limited liability partnerships and 100% of the common stock of five statutory trusts, discussed in Note 12. As defined in applicable accounting standards, these are interests in variable interest entities (“VIE”) for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the accounts of the VIEs have not been consolidated into the Company’s financial statements.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The allowance for credit losses, fair value of financial instruments and status of contingencies are particularly subject to change. Material estimates that are subject to significant change in the near term are the allowance for credit losses for loans held for investment and the allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include interest and noninterest-bearing cash accounts and federal funds sold. The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains deposits with other financial institutions in amounts that exceed federal deposit insurance coverage. Furthermore, federal funds sold are essentially uncollateralized loans to other financial institutions. Management regularly evaluates the credit risk associated with these transactions and believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risks on cash and cash equivalents. The Company had deposits with correspondent banks that exceeded federally insured limits by $2.6 million at December 31, 2025. Net cash flows are reported for customer deposit transactions and short term borrowings. Cash flows from loans are classified at the time according to management’s intent to either sell or hold the loan for the foreseeable future. When management’s intent is to hold the loan for the foreseeable future, the cash flows of that loan are presented as investing cash flows.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income includes net income reported in the consolidated statements of income and changes in unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale and derivatives reported as a component of shareholders' equity. Unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale and derivatives, net of deferred income taxes, is the only component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the Company.

Securities

Securities

Certain debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held to maturity” and recorded at amortized cost. Trading securities are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value included in income. Debt

securities not classified as held to maturity or trading are classified as “available for sale” and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from income and reported in other comprehensive income (loss). Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Securities

For available-for-sale debt securities with fair value below amortized cost, when the Company does not intend to sell the debt security, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, the Company recognizes the credit component of a decline in fair value of a debt security in income and the remaining portion in other comprehensive income (loss). Decline in fair value related to a credit loss is measured using the discounted cash flow method. Credit loss recognition is limited to the amount that the fair value of the security is less than the amortized cost. The decline in fair value is recognized by establishing an allowance for credit loss (“ACL”) through provision for credit losses. Decline in fair value related to noncredit factors is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest from the estimate of credit losses for available-for-sale debt securities. The Company evaluates available-for-sale security declines in fair value on a quarterly basis.

For held-to-maturity debt securities, expected losses are evaluated and calculated on a collective basis for those securities that share risk characteristics. The Company aggregates record level securities calculations and reports the security portfolio segments based on shared risk characteristics. The only segment included in the held-to-maturity portfolio is states and political subdivisions, which is comprised of municipals.

The Company performs a quarterly loss reserve calculation for municipal and corporate bonds leveraging history of defaults and recoveries as well as a baseline economic forecast. A probability of default/loss-given default approach is used, with any non-rated bonds receiving a comparable rating estimate. Losses in high grade municipals, in which the Company tends to invest, have historically been very limited. The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest from the estimate of credit losses for held-to-maturity debt securities.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans Held for Sale

For loans held for sale originated after January 1, 2025, the Company elected the fair value option to offset the volatility in the derivative instruments of the forward commitments entered into in conjunction with the mortgage loans held for sale. These mortgage loans are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in the consolidated statements of income. Loans held for sale originated prior to January 1, 2025 are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. Loans held for sale are generally sold with mortgage servicing rights released.

Loans

Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their unpaid principal balance adjusted for net charge-offs, the allowance for credit losses, and any deferred fees and costs. Interest on loans is calculated by using the simple interest method on daily balances of the principal amount outstanding.

Loans that are 30 days or more past due based on payments received and applied to the loan are considered delinquent. Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that a borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest, but not necessarily principal, is doubtful. A loan is typically placed on non-accrual when the contractual payment of principal or interest becomes 90 days past due unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. Loans may be placed on non-accrual status regardless of whether or not such loans are considered past due. Any interest previously recorded, but deemed not collectible, is reversed and charged against current year income.

Payments subsequently received on non-accrual loans are applied to principal. Interest income is recognized to the extent that cash payments are received in excess of principal due. A loan may return to accrual status when principal and interest payments are no longer past due and collectability is reasonably assured.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans

Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans

The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Management's determination of the adequacy of the ACL is based on an assessment of the expected credit losses on loans over the expected life of the loan. The ACL is increased by provision expense and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries of amounts previously charged-off. Loans are charged off when management believes that the collection of the principal amount owed in full is unlikely. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Any interest that is accrued but not collected is reversed against interest income when

a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, which typically occurs prior to charging off all, or a portion, of a loan. The Company made the policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable on loans from the estimate of credit losses.

The Company calculates estimated credit loss on its portfolio primarily using quantitative methodologies using relevant available information from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. The ACL is evaluated and calculated on a collective basis for those loans which share similar risk characteristics. At each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether the loans in a pool continue to exhibit similar risk characteristics as the other loans and whether it needs to evaluate the allowance on an individual basis. The Company has chosen to segment its portfolio consistent with the manner in which it manages the risk of the type of credit. The Company’s segments for loans include commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, residential and consumer.

Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of each loan taking into consideration expected prepayments. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals, and modifications. Also included in the allowance for loans are qualitative reserves to cover losses that are expected but, in the Company’s assessment, may not be adequately represented in the quantitative method or the economic assumptions described above. For example, factors that the Company considers include the nature and size of the portfolio, portfolio concentrations, the volume and severity of past due loans and non-accrual loans and current business conditions.

In addition to the ACL on loans held for investment, the Company records a balance sheet liability for unfunded commitments, which is recognized if both of the following conditions are met: (1) the Company has a present contractual obligation to extend credit; and (2) the obligation is not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. Loan commitments may have a funded and unfunded portion, of which the liability for unfunded commitments is derived based upon the commitments to extend credit to a borrower (e.g., an estimate of expected credit losses is not established for unfunded portions of loan commitment that are unconditionally cancellable by the Company). The expected credit losses for funded portions are reported in the previously discussed ACL for loans. The Company segments its unfunded commitment portfolio consistent with the ACL calculation for loans. The Company incorporates the probability of funding (i.e., estimate of utilization) for each segment and then utilizes the ACL loss rates for each segment on an aggregate basis to calculate the allowance for unfunded commitments.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains the right to pledge or exchange the transferred asserts, and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed principally using the straight-line method and are charged to operating expenses over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and depreciated using the straight-line method over the terms of the respective leases or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. In cases where the Company has the right to renew the lease for additional periods, the lease term for the purpose of calculating amortization of the capitalized costs of the leasehold improvements is extended when the Company is reasonably assured that it will renew the lease. Costs of major additions and improvements are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Other Real Estate

Other Real Estate

Other real estate acquired through partial or total satisfaction of loans is initially carried at fair value less cost to sell at the date of acquisition (foreclosure), establishing a new cost basis. Any loss incurred at the date of acquisition is charged to the allowance for credit losses. Subsequent gains or losses on such assets and related operating income and expenses are reported in current operations when earned or incurred.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

The Bank is a member of the FHLB system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. The Company’s investment in member bank stock is carried at cost and included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The carrying value of the Company’s FHLB stock was evaluated and determined not to be impaired for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets

Goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets of an acquired business, is not amortized but tested for impairment on an annual basis or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. Identifiable intangible assets are acquired assets that lack physical substance but can be distinguished from goodwill because of contractual or legal rights or because the assets are capable of being sold or exchanged either on their own or in combination with a related contract, asset or liability. Other identifiable assets with finite lives include the following: (1) core deposits intangible assets, which are amounts recorded related to the value of acquired deposits, (2) amounts recorded related to the value of acquired customer relationships, and (3) amounts recorded related to non-competition agreements with certain individuals of acquired entities. Identifiable intangibles are initially recorded at fair value and are amortized over the periods benefited. These intangibles are evaluated for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount should be reevaluated. Impairment losses are recorded in other operating expense and reduce the carrying amount of the intangible.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance

Bank-Owned Life Insurance

The Company maintains bank-owned life insurance policies on certain current and former employees, which are recorded at their cash surrender values as determined by the insurance carriers. The appreciation in the cash surrender value of the policies is recognized as a component of other operating income in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into financial instruments, such as commitments to extend credit and letters of credit, to meet the financing needs of customers. Such instruments are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements until they are funded. The face amount of these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay.

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company is a party to interest rate swap agreements that relate to interest rate swaps that the Company enters into with customers to convert variable rate loans to a fixed rate. Under these customer interest rate swaps, the Company pays interest at a variable rate and receives interest at a fixed rate on the same notional amount. At December 31, 2025, the fair value of these customer interest rate swaps was $180,000 and was recorded in other assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Concurrent with the execution of each customer swap, the Company enters into an offsetting interest rate swap with an unaffiliated financial institution. Under the offsetting swap, the Company pays interest at the same fixed rate and receives interest at the same variable rate on an identical notional amount. At December 31, 2025, the fair value of these offseting swaps was $180,000 and was recorded in other liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of the customer and offsetting swaps generally offset, with residual exposure limited primarily to counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk is evaluated using established risk management practices, including consideration of counterparty risk ratings, probability of default, and loss given default assumptions.

 

The Company has risk participation agreements with financial institution counterparties related to interest rate swaps on loans in which the Company is a participant. These agreements provide credit protection to the financial institution in the event the borrower fails to perform under its derivative contract. In addition, the Company has risk participation agreements related to interest rate swaps on loans for which the Company is the lead bank. These agreements provide credit protection to the Company should the borrower fail to perform under its derivative contract. Fees received on these derivative transactions, net of estimated credit losses associated with the related credit exposure, are recognized in earnings at the time the transaction is executed. At December 31, 2025, the fair value of these risk participation agreements was $148,000 and was recorded in other assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

At December 31, 2025, the Company had $111,000, net of tax, of unrealized holding gains on derivatives recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives

Mortgage Banking Derivatives

 

The Company also enters into interest rate lock commitments in conjunction with its mortgage origination business. These are commitments to originate loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the customers have locked into that interest rate. The Company locks in the rate with an investor and commits to deliver the loan if settlement occurs (“best efforts”) or commits to deliver the locked loan in a binding (“mandatory”) delivery program with an investor. For more information about mortgage banking derivatives see Note 17 Commitments and Contingencies.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 implements a common revenue standard that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts. The majority of the Company’s revenues come from interest income and other sources, including loans and securities that are outside the scope of Topic 606. The Company’s services that fall within the scope of Topic 606 are presented within other operating income and are recognized as revenue as the Company satisfies its obligation to the customer. Services within the scope of Topic 606 include service charges on deposits, interchange income, wealth management fees and investment brokerage fees. The Company generally acts in a principal capacity, on its own behalf, in most of its contracts with customers. In such transactions, revenue is recognized and the related costs to provide services is recognized on a gross basis in the financial statements. In some cases, the Company acts in an agent capacity, deriving revenue through assisting other entities in transactions with customers. In such transactions, revenue and the related costs to provide services is recognized on a net basis in the financial statements. These transactions recognized on a net basis primarily relate to insurance and brokerage commissions and fees derived from customers' use of various interchange and ATM/debit card networks.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance, ASC Topic 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. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or 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. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company did not have a valuation allowance recorded with respect to the realization of deferred income taxes at December 31, 2025 or 2024.

Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Uncertain tax positions are recognized if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company did not recognize any uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2025 or 2024.

Stock Based Compensation

Stock Based Compensation

Compensation cost is recognized for restricted stock awards issued to employees based on the fair value of these awards at the date of the grant. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted number of common shares outstanding during the period and the number of common shares that would have been outstanding assuming the issuance of common shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the reporting period.

Operating Segments

Operating Segments

The Company’s reportable segments are determined by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), based upon information provided about the Company’s revenue streams from its various products and services, primarily financial services operations. The Company has determined that its CODM is not a single individual, but rather a group of executives comprising the Chief Executive

Officer and other senior executives. The Company’s operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all financial services operations are considered by management to be aggregated into one reportable operating segment. The CODM uses consolidated net income to benchmark the Company against its competitors and assess performance. Revenue is generated by loans, investments, and deposits. Interest expense, provision for credit losses, and salaries and employee benefits expense provide significant expenses in the financial services operations. Total assets for the Company's reportable segment are as reported on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Risks and Uncertainties

Risks and Uncertainties

The state of the overall economy, including the effect of the volatility and direction of market interest rates as a result of continuing worldwide macroeconomic uncertainty, could negatively impact our financial performance. Such a decline could impact the Company’s ability to make distributions to our shareholders or meet other financial obligations.

Accounting Changes and Reclassifications

Accounting Changes and Reclassifications

Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to current presentations. Reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or shareholders’ equity.

Branch Sale

Branch Sale

On August 25, 2025, the Company entered into a Deposit Assumption and Asset Purchase Agreement to sell its branch located in McComb, Mississippi, including all of its assets and liabilities. As of December 31, 2025, the branch sale was expected to include approximately $14.8 million of loans, $791,000 of premises and equipment, and $53.2 million of deposits subject to an 8% deposit premium. The sale is expected to close in the first half of 2026 subject to customary closing conditions. At the time of this filing, the accounting for this transaction was not complete.

Effect of Recently Adopted and Recently Issued, But Not Yet Adopted Accounting Standards

Effect of Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Update 2023-07 (“ASU 2023-07”), “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 which expands segment disclosure requirements for public entities to require disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. ASU 2023-07 was effective for the Company for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2024 and interim periods beginning on January 1, 2025. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 which requires entities to disclose in their rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about federal, state and foreign income taxes and to provide more details about the reconciling items in some categories if items meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes for annual periods and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold, among other things. ASU 2023-09 was effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning on January 1, 2025, though early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effect of Recently Issued, But Not Yet Adopted Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Update 2024-03 (“ASU 2024-03”), “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures.” In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 which requires entities to disclose details about specific expenses, such as inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion, included within commonly presented income statement expense captions. The disaggregated expense captions must be disclosed in a tabular format in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2027 and interim periods beginning on January 1, 2028. The adoption of ASU 2024-03 is not expected to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update 2025-08 (“ASU 2025-08”), “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans.” In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08 which expands the scope of the “gross‑up” method, formerly applicable only to purchased credit‑deteriorated ("PCD") assets, to include acquired non‑PCD loans that meet certain criteria, now referred to as “purchased seasoned loans” ("PSLs"). Under this model, an allowance for expected credit losses is recognized at acquisition, offsetting the loan’s amortized cost basis, thereby eliminating the day-one credit‑loss expense previously required for non‑PCD assets. PSLs are defined as non‑PCD loans acquired either through a business combination or purchased more than 90 days after origination when the acquirer was not involved in origination. ASU 2025-08 is effective, on a prospective basis for loans acquired

on or after the adoption date, for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2027, though early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2025-08 is not expected to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update 2025-10 ("ASU 2025-10"), "Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities." In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, which establishes comprehensive U.S. GAAP guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of government grants received by business entities. Under ASU 2025-10, a government grant is recognized only when it is probable the business will meet the grant's conditions and will receive the grant, and when it meets the recognition criteria for either an asset-related or income-related grant. The update permits either a cost-accumulation or deferred-income approach for asset-related grants, while income-related grants must be recognized systematically over the related expense periods. Entities must also present grant-related income appropriately and disclose the nature of the grants, the accounting policies applied, and significant terms and conditions. ASU 2025-10 is effective on December 15, 2028 for all public entities, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2025-10 is not expected to materially impact the Company's consolidated financial statements.
