\n (1)\u00a0 Initial net investment basis on purchased loans is the initial amortized cost basis net of initial allowance for credit losses (credit mark).<\/sup>
\n
\n (2)\u00a0 The total return on purchased loans represents scheduled accretion, accelerated accretion, gains (losses) on real estate owned, release of allowance for credit losses on purchased loans, and other noninterest income recorded during the period divided by the average invested balance on an annualized basis. The total return on purchased loans does not include the effect of purchased loan charge-offs or recoveries during the period. Total return on purchased loans is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. See reconciliation in below table entitled \u201cTotal Return on Purchased Loans.\u201d<\/sup>\n <\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 \u00a0Deposits increased by $275.6 million, or 8.2%, from June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in time deposits of $262.5 million, or 11.7%. The significant drivers in the change in time deposits were an increase in brokered time deposits, which increased by $155.1 million, combined with an increase in Community Banking Division time deposits of $125.4 million.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 \u00a0Federal Home Loan Bank (\u201cFHLB\u201d) advances increased by $399.9 million, or 124.9%, from June 30, 2025. The increase was attributable to advances taken to fund a portion of the loan purchases during the quarter ended December 31, 2025.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 \u00a0Shareholders\u2019 equity increased by $73.4 million, or 14.8%, from June 30, 2025, primarily due to net income of $73.1 million for the fiscal year to date through March 31, 2026 and stock-based compensation of $5.8 million, partially offset by the cancellation of restricted stock to cover tax obligations on restricted stock vests, which resulted in a $5.3 million decrease in shareholders’ equity.<\/p>\n

Net income increased by $11.2 million to $29.9 million for the quarter ended March\u00a031, 2026, compared to net income of $18.7 million for the quarter ended March\u00a031, 2025, due to the following:<\/p>\n
