FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Part I of this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are statements that include projections, predictions, expectations or beliefs about future events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical fact. Further, forward-looking statements are intended to speak only as of the date made. Such statements are often characterized by the use of qualifying words (and their derivatives) such as “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” or other statements concerning our opinions or judgment about future events. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements, as they will depend on many factors about which we are unsure, including many factors which are beyond our control. Factors that could influence the accuracy of such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the financial success or changing strategies of our customers, our level of success in integrating acquisitions, actions of government regulators, the level of market interest rates, geopolitical influences and general economic conditions. For additional information about factors that could affect the matters discussed in this paragraph, see the “Risk Factors” section of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("2024 Annual Report") and Item 1A of Part II of this report.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Bancorp (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary First Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank has two wholly owned subsidiaries that are fully consolidated, Magnolia Financial, Inc. ("Magnolia Financial"), and First Troy SPE, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The Bank formerly operated a third subsidiary, SBA Complete, Inc. ("SBA Complete"), which specialized in providing consulting services for financial institutions across the country related to Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan origination and servicing. During the second quarter of 2024, SBA Complete became inactive with certain activities transitioning to the Bank.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes necessary for complete financial statements in accordance with GAAP. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2025, the consolidated results of income, comprehensive income and shareholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Any such adjustments were of a normal, recurring nature. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes in the 2024 Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2024. Operating results for interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
In certain instances, amounts reported in prior years’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported shareholders’ equity or net income.
Refer to Note 1 of the 2024 Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for a discussion of accounting policies and other relevant information with respect to the consolidated financial statements.
The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2025
The Company did not adopt any accounting standards during the first three months of 2025.
Accounting Standards Pending Adoption
ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” amended existing guidance to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures, including disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, providing additional information for certain reconciling items, and providing details on income taxes paid. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” amended the Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income topic in the Accounting Standards Codification to require public companies to disclose, in interim and annual reporting periods, additional information about certain expenses in the notes to financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements after the effective date. The
adoption of ASU 2023-09 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2024-04, “Debt-Debt With Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments” amended the Debt topic in the Accounting Standards Codification to clarify requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in ASU 2020-06. The Company will apply the amendments prospectively to any settlements of convertible debt instruments that occur after the effective date of the guidance. The adoption of ASU 2024-04 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company's securities portfolio included 583 securities of which 543 securities were in an unrealized loss position. As of December 31, 2024, the Company's securities portfolio included 584 securities of which 560 securities were in an unrealized loss position.
In the above tables, all of the securities that were in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are bonds that the Company has determined are in a loss position due primarily to interest rate factors and not credit quality concerns. In arriving at this conclusion, the Company reviewed third-party credit ratings and considered the severity of the impairment. The state and local government investments are comprised almost entirely of highly-rated municipal bonds issued by state and local governments throughout the nation. The Company has no significant concentrations of bond holdings from any one state or local government entity. Nearly all of the Company's mortgage-backed securities were issued by Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"), Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), or SBA, each of which is a government agency or GSE and guarantees the repayment of its securities. 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 these securities before recovery of the amortized cost.
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company determined that expected credit losses associated with HTM securities and AFS debt securities were insignificant.
The book values and fair values of investment securities at March 31, 2025, by contractual maturity, are summarized in the table below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, investment securities with carrying values of $858.4 million and $806.0 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral for public deposits. In addition, at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, investment securities with carrying values of $664.0 million and $661.0 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral to the Federal Reserve Bank ("Federal Reserve") to secure any such borrowings.
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. Government and its agencies or GSEs, in an amount greater than 10% of shareholders' equity.
There were no sales of investment securities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 or March 31, 2024. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company received proceeds from the unanticipated call of a security of $5.2 million and recorded a $975.2 thousand loss related to the unamortized premium balance at the time of the call.
Included in “Other assets” in the consolidated balance sheets are investments in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and Federal Reserve stock totaling $41.5 million and $41.3 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These investments do not have readily determinable fair values. The FHLB stock had a cost of $8.5 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and serves as part of the collateral for the Company’s line of credit with the FHLB and is also a requirement for membership in the FHLB system. The Federal Reserve stock had a cost of $33.0 million and $32.7 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and is a requirement for Federal Reserve member bank qualification. Periodically, both the FHLB and Federal Reserve recalculate the Company’s required level of holdings, and the Company either buys more stock or redeems a portion of the stock at cost. The Company determined that neither stock was impaired at either period end.

Collateral dependent loans are loans for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The Company reviews individually evaluated loans on nonaccrual with a net book balance of $500,000 or greater for designation as collateral dependent loans, as well as certain other loans that may still be accruing interest and/or are less than $500,000 in size that management of the Company designates as having higher risk. These loans do not share common risk characteristics and are not included within the collectively evaluated loans for determining the Allowance for Credit Losses ("ACL").

There have been no material changes from the treatment of collateral dependent loans under CECL as discussed in Note 4 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The following tables present the activity in the ACL on loans for each of the periods indicated to include Purchase Credit Deterioration (“PCD”) activity in applicable periods. Fluctuations in the ACL each period are based on loan mix and growth, changes in the levels of nonperforming loans, economic forecasts impacting loss drivers, other assumptions and inputs to the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model. The change to the level of ACL during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was determined based primarily on updated economic forecasts, which are a key assumption in the CECL model and which indicated improvement in certain economic forecasts along with reductions in loan balances during the period, partially offset by a continued reduction of the commercial real estate pricing index.

Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
Occasionally, the Company modifies loans to borrowers in financial distress as a part of our loss mitigation activities. Various types of modification may be offered including principal forgiveness, term extension, payment delays, or interest rate reductions. In some cases, the Company will modify a certain loan by providing multiple types of concessions. Typically, one type of concession, such as a term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession may be granted. For loans included in the “combination” columns below, multiple types of modifications have been made on the same loan within the current reporting period.
The following table is a summary of the Company's nonaccrual and accruing modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty by major categories for each date presented.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, none of the loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were modified in the twelve months prior were considered to have had a payment default.
At March 31, 2025, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty for whom a modification had been made. At December 31, 2024, there was a commitment to lend $0.1 million of additional funds to one borrower experiencing financial difficulty for whom a modification had been made.
Upon the Company’s determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the ACL is adjusted by the same amount.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company’s loan portfolio is not concentrated in loans to any single borrower or to a relatively small number of borrowers. Additionally, management is not aware of any concentrations of loans to classes of borrowers or industries that would be similarly affected by economic conditions. Approximately 88% of the Company's loan portfolio is secured by real estate and is therefore susceptible to changes in real estate valuations. There have been no material changes to the primary loan markets (as identified by counties) from year end.
Impact of Hurricane Helene
The Company identified borrowers with approximately $722 million of loans outstanding within the portions of Western North and South Carolina that were significantly impacted by Hurricane Helene. The following is a summary of the categories of those loans outstanding as of March 31, 2025:
| | | | | | | | |
($ in thousands) | | Balance |
Commercial and industrial | | $ | 16,106 | |
Construction, development & other land loans | | 22,071 | |
Commercial real estate - owner occupied | | 94,837 | |
Commercial real estate - non owner occupied | | 275,421 | |
Multi-family real estate | | 25,130 | |
Residential 1-4 family real estate | | 252,647 | |
Home equity loans/lines of credit | | 35,894 | |
Consumer loans | | — | |
Total | | $ | 722,106 | |
Given that the recovery from the storm is ongoing in many impacted communities, the Company continues to evaluate possible impacts from the storm on borrowers and has reserved accordingly based upon the information available as of March 31, 2025. The Company applied increased reserve rates based upon severe economic factors to the approximately $722 million of loans in the most impacted path of Hurricane Helene. Additionally, the Company continues to evaluate the largest commercial loans in that area and applied incremental reserves to those loans that were suspected of having higher potential property damage or economic impact from the storm. Due to the potential exposure from Hurricane Helene, the ACL on these impacted loans was $11.0 million as of March 31, 2025, adding 14 basis points to the overall ACL as a percent of total loans,which was 1.49% as of March 31, 2025.
Allowance for Unfunded Loan Commitments
In addition to the ACL on loans, the Company maintains an allowance for lending-related commitments such as unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for lending-related commitments on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for credit loss expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur, which is based on a historical funding study derived from internal information, and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life, which are the same loss rates that are used in computing the ACL on loans. The allowance for unfunded loan commitments were included in "Other liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheets.
The following table presents the balance and activity in the allowance for unfunded loan commitments for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

Note 4. Goodwill, Other Intangible Assets and Servicing Assets
The following is a summary of the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of amortizable intangible assets and the carrying amount of unamortized intangible assets as of the periods presented.

Unamortizable intangible assets: | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Goodwill | | $ | 478,750 | | | | | | | $ | 478,750 | | | | | |
Customer lists are generally amortized over five years and core deposit intangibles are generally amortized over 10 years, both at an accelerated rate.
Amortization expense of all amortizable intangible assets totaled $1.5 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on at least an annual basis, with the annual evaluation occurring as of October 31 of each year. Goodwill is also evaluated for impairment any time there is a triggering event indicating that impairment may have occurred. No triggering events were identified during 2025 to date and, therefore, the Company did not perform interim impairment evaluations. The Company's most recent evaluation of goodwill, which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2024, indicated that there was no goodwill impairment. There was no change to carrying amounts of goodwill during 2025.
The following table presents the estimated amortization expense schedule related to amortizable intangible assets. These amounts will be recorded as "Intangibles amortization expense" within the noninterest expense section of the consolidated statements of income. These estimates are subject to change in future periods to the extent management determines it is necessary to make adjustments to the carrying value or estimated useful lives of amortizable intangible assets.

Note 6. Leases
The Company enters into leases in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2025, the Company leased 13 bank branch offices for which the land and buildings are leased and nine branch offices for which the land is leased but the buildings are owned. The Company also leases office space for several operational departments. All of the Company’s leases are operating leases and the lease agreements have maturity dates ranging from April 2026 through May 2076, some of which include options for multiple five- and ten-year extensions. The Company includes lease extension options in the lease term if, after considering relevant economic, market, and strategic factors, it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option. The weighted average remaining life of the lease term for these leases was 21.3 years as of March 31, 2025 and 21.2 years as of December 31, 2024. Certain of the Company's lease agreements include variable lease payments based on changes in inflation, with the impact of that factor being insignificant to the Company's total lease expense. As permitted by applicable accounting standards, the Company has elected not to recognize leases with original lease terms of 12 months or less (short-term leases) on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The short-term lease cost for each period presented was insignificant.
Leases are classified as either operating or finance leases at the lease commencement date and all of the Company's leases have been determined to be operating leases. Lease expense for operating leases and short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term. Right-of-use 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. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term.
The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, on a collateralized basis, at lease commencement to calculate the present value of lease payments when the rate implicit in the lease is not known. The weighted average discount rates for leases were 3.34% as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
The right-of-use assets, included in "Other assets" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets, and lease liabilities, included in "Other liabilities" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets, were $13.4 million and $14.3
million as of March 31, 2025, respectively, and were $13.8 million and $14.6 million as of December 31, 2024, respectively.
Total operating lease expenses, included in "Other operating expenses" in the Company's consolidated statements of income, were $0.6 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Future undiscounted lease payments for operating leases with initial terms of greater than one year as of March 31, 2025 are as follows:

Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal and most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) of identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other 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.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2025:

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for financial instruments measured at fair value.
Securities Available for Sale — When quoted market prices are available in an active market, the securities are classified as Level 1 in the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, but fair values can be estimated by observing quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, the securities are classified as Level 2 on the valuation hierarchy. Most of the fair values for the Company’s Level 2 securities are determined by the Company's third-party bond accounting provider using matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. For the Company, Level 2 securities include U.S Treasury bonds, mortgage-
backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed obligations, government-sponsored enterprise securities, and corporate bonds. In cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.
The Company reviews the pricing methodologies utilized by the bond accounting provider to ensure the fair value determination is consistent with the applicable accounting guidance and that the investments are properly classified in the fair value hierarchy.
Presold Mortgages in Process of Settlement - The fair value is based on the committed price that an investor has agreed to pay for the loan which is considered a Level 2 input.
Derivative financial assets and liabilities - The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. These are considered a Level 2 input.
Individually evaluated loans — Fair values for individually evaluated loans are measured on a non-recurring basis and are based on the underlying collateral values securing the loans, adjusted for estimated selling costs, or the net present value of the cash flows expected to be received for such loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is generally determined by third-party appraisers using an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed third party appraiser (Level 3). The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable borrower’s financial statements if not considered significant. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivable collateral are based on borrower financial statement balances or aging reports on a discounted basis as appropriate (Level 3). Appraisals used in this analysis are generally obtained at least annually based on when the loans first became impaired, and thus the appraisals are not necessarily as of the period ends presented. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements of income.
There were no significant changes in the reported amount of Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on either a recurring or a non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2025.
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments not carried at fair value at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows:

Borrowings | | Level 2 | | 92,055 | | | 83,064 | | | 91,876 | | | 81,216 | |
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no highly liquid 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, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, 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 could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or liabilities include net premises and equipment, intangible and other assets such as deferred income taxes, prepaid expense accounts, income taxes currently payable, and other various accrued expenses. In addition, the income tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the estimates.
Note 8. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $1.0 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These amounts are included in "Total personnel expense" on the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
The Company recognized income tax benefits related to stock-based compensation expense in its income statement of $238,000 and $153,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
At March 31, 2025, the sole equity-based compensation plan of the Company was the First Bancorp 2024 Equity Plan (the "Equity Plan"), which was approved by shareholders on May 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the Equity Plan had 1,884,484 shares remaining available for grant.
The Equity Plan is intended to serve as a means to attract, retain, and motivate key employees and directors and to associate the interests of the Equity Plan's participants with those of the Company and its shareholders. The Equity Plan allows for both grants of stock options and other types of equity-based compensation, including stock appreciation rights, restricted and unrestricted stock, restricted performance stock, and performance units. For the last several years, the only equity-based compensation granted by the Company has been shares of restricted stock, as it relates to employees, and unrestricted stock as it relates to non-employee directors.
There have been no material changes to the treatment of stock awards and equity grants as discussed in Note 15 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
In addition to employee equity awards, the Company's practice is to grant unrestricted common shares to each non-employee director (currently eleven in total) in June of each year. The grants were valued at approximately $37,500 in 2024 and are expected to be the same in 2025. Compensation expense associated with these director awards is fully recognized by the date of the award since there are no vesting conditions.
The following table presents information regarding the activity for the first three months of 2025 related to the Company’s outstanding restricted stock awards:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Long-Term Restricted Stock Awards |
| Number of Units | | Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value |

Nonvested at March 31, 2025 | | 251,324 | | | $ | 36.51 | |
Total unrecognized compensation expense as of March 31, 2025 amounted to $3.7 million with a weighted average remaining term of 2.3 years. For the nonvested awards that were outstanding at March 31, 2025, the Company expects to record $2.0 million in compensation expense in the next twelve months, $1.7 million of which is expected to be recorded in the remaining quarters of 2025.

Note 12. Segment Reporting
The Company is a bank holding company, whose principal activity is the ownership and management of its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Bank (the "Bank"). As a community-oriented financial institution, substantially all of the Company’s operations involve the delivery of loan and deposit products or the provision of financial advice to customers. Management makes operating decisions and assesses performance based on an ongoing review of these banking operations, which constitute the Company’s only operating segment for financial reporting purposes.
The accounting policies of the banking operations segment are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies as discussed in Note 1 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets.
The role of chief operating decision maker is comprised of the executive leadership team to include the Company's Chief Executive Officer, the Bank's Chief Executive Officer, the Company's President, and the Company's Chief Financial Officer. The chief operating decision makers use pre-tax net income to allocate resources in the annual budget and forecasting process. The chief operating decision makers consider budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis for profit measures when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the operating segment.
The chief operating decision makers use the Consolidated Statements of Income and Consolidated Balance Sheets to ascertain measures or performance such as revenue, profit or loss, significant expenses and assets.
Depreciation expense amounted to $1.8 million, and $2.0 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively, and is recorded in Occupancy and equipment expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Highlights of the results for the first quarter of 2025 is presented below. Refer also to additional discussion in the "Results of Operations" and "Financial Condition" sections following.
Overview and Highlights at and for Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
We earned net income of $36.4 million, or $0.88 diluted EPS, during the first quarter of 2025 compared to net income of $25.3 million, or $0.61 diluted EPS, for the first quarter of 2024. The increase in net income in the current year was driven primarily by a $13.6 million increase in net interest income due to lower cost of funds and higher yield on interest earning assets, both of which were driven by the overall interest rate environment for the past year. Adjusting for the impact of the $2.0 million reversal of provision related to Hurricane Helene, our adjusted net income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, was $34.9 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, for the first quarter.
•Net interest income for the first quarter of 2025 was $92.9 million, a 17.2% increase from the $79.3 million recorded in the first quarter of 2024. The increase in net interest income from the like quarter was driven by higher yields on earning assets and lower cost of funds. We also grew deposits and repaid the majority of our borrowings, thereby further reducing the cost of borrowings.
•Net interest margin ("NIM") on a tax-equivalent basis ("NIM-T/E") increased 47 basis points to 3.27% in the first quarter of 2025 from 2.80% in the first quarter of 2024 as a result of the lower cost of funds and higher yields on loans, securities, and other earning assets. The aforementioned decrease in borrowings along with a reduction in deposit costs further enhanced NIM-T/E from the prior year's like quarter.
•We remained well-capitalized by all regulatory standards. Capital grew during the quarter with a total common equity Tier 1 ratio of 14.52%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 15.34% and total risk-based capital ratio of 16.80% at March 31, 2025, all increasing from March 31, 2024.
•The provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2025 was $1.1 million, driven by $3.3 million of net charge-off activity, partially offset by a $2.0 million reduction in the incremental provision related to potential exposure from Hurricane Helene. Net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2025 included $1.3 million related to the sale of a credit relationship as the result of an accelerated resolution.
•Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 totaled $12.9 million, which was consistent with the comparable prior year period. Decreases from the like quarter of $0.8 million in SBA loan sale gains and $0.6 million in other income were partially offset by the $1.0 million securities loss in the first quarter of 2024.
•Noninterest expense of $57.9 million decreased $1.3 million, or 2.2%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 from the prior year. This decrease is attributable to a $1.0 million decrease in other operating expenses and a $0.9 million decrease in occupancy and equipment expenses, partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in personnel costs resulting from increased incentives and commissions driven by improved performance.
•The first quarter results include the $2.0 million reversal of provision related to the potential impact of Hurricane Helene. On an after-tax basis, this reversal increased our current quarter earnings by $1.5 million.
Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the effect of the $2.0 million reversal of provision related to Hurricane Helene to GAAP basis net income and diluted EPS. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information that is useful to investors in evaluating our performance and may facilitate comparisons with other institutions in the banking industry as well as period-to-period comparisons. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors should consider the Company’s performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the Company. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, are not audited, and may not be comparable to other similarly titled financial measures used by other companies. Investors should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s
results or financial condition as reported under GAAP. The following table reconciles net income and diluted EPS to adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS for the quarter ended March 31, 2025:

Total assets were $12.4 billion at March 31, 2025, a 2.4% increase from December 31, 2024. The increase was driven primarily by deposit growth generating investable funds that were deployed in interest-bearing cash, securities and loan balances. The primary balance sheet changes are presented below.
•Total cash and cash equivalents amounted to $772.4 million at March 31, 2025, representing a $264.9 million, or 52.2%, increase from December 31, 2024. Interest-bearing cash comprised $193.7 million of this increase.
•AFS securities increased $21.5 million, or 1.1%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
•Total loans amounted to $8.1 billion at March 31, 2025, reflecting an increase of $8.4 million from December 31, 2024.
•Total deposits were $10.7 billion at March 31, 2025, an increase of $214.1 million, or 2.03%, from December 31, 2024. Deposit growth during the quarter was evenly split between noninterest-bearing deposits, which saw an increase of $109.2 million, and interest-bearing deposits, which increased $105.0 million.
•Credit quality continued to be strong at March 31, 2025, with NPAs of 0.27% of total assets as of March 31, 2025, down 3 basis points from 0.30% at December 31, 2024.
•Our on-balance sheet liquidity ratio was 19.8% at March 31, 2025. Available off-balance sheet sources totaled $2.4 billion at quarter end, resulting in a total liquidity ratio of 36.4%.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The accounting principles we follow and our methods of applying these principles conform with GAAP and with general practices followed by the banking industry. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions, or judgments and as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. We have identified the determination of our ACL and related Allowance for Unfunded Commitments, as well as business combinations, related fair value measurements and goodwill determination to be the accounting areas that require the most subjective or complex judgments, estimates, and assumptions, and where changes in those judgments, estimates, and assumptions (based on new or additional information, changes in the economic climate and/or market interest rates, etc.) could have a significant effect on our financial statements. See the "Allowance for Credit Losses, Allowance for Unfunded Commitments, and Loan Loss Experience" discussion in the Financial Condition section of Management's Discussion and Analysis.
There have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies as discussed in Note 1 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is our largest source of revenue and is the difference between the interest earned on interest-earning assets (generally loans and investment securities) and the interest expense incurred in connection with interest-bearing liabilities (generally deposits and borrowed funds). Changes in the net interest income are the result of changes in volume and the net interest spread which affects NIM. Volume refers to the average dollar levels of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest spread refers to the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. NIM refers to net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets and is influenced by the level and relative mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is also influenced by external factors such as local economic conditions, competition for loans and deposits, and market interest rates.
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2025 amounted to $92.9 million, an increase of $13.6 million, or 17.2%, from the $79.3 million recorded in the first quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by lower cost of funds and higher yields on interest-earning assets. While average interest-earning assets for the first quarter of 2025 increased $38.9 million, or 0.3%, from the comparable period of the prior year, the mix of assets shifted to higher earning assets, with average short-term investments growing $225.4 million, while average taxable securities decreased $186.2 million. While the cost of interest bearing deposits decreased 19 basis points between the first quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025, the biggest decrease within interest expense between the first quarter of 2025 and the like quarter was in cost of short-term borrowings, which decreased $6.5 million. This decrease was mostly attributable to the payoff of FRB Bank Term Funding Program borrowings, which decreased the average borrowing balance by $476.8 million from the like quarter. This resulted in the 47 basis point improvement in our NIM-T/E (see discussion below) from the like quarter to 3.27% for the first quarter of 2025.
For internal purposes, we evaluate our NIM-T/E, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, by adding the tax benefit realized from tax-exempt loans and securities to reported interest income then dividing by total average earning assets. We believe that analysis of NIM-T/E is useful and appropriate because it allows a comparison of net interest income in different periods without taking into account the different mix of taxable versus non-taxable loans and investments that may have existed during those periods.The following is a reconciliation of reported net interest income to tax-equivalent net interest income and the resulting NIM to NIM-T/E.

Overall, as demonstrated in the table above, the change in the mix of earning assets to higher yielding assets and a decrease in the cost of liabilities drove the expansion in NIM and net interest income. While not impacting NIM-T/E, net interest income was impacted by the one less earning day in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024.
•Net interest income for the first quarter of 2025 was $92.9 million, an increase of $13.6 million from the like quarter. The increase in net interest income was primarily driven by our focused efforts to reduce borrowings and manage deposit costs after the rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in the second half of 2024, which saw the federal funds rate fall 100 basis points. We also focused on increasing loan yields as new originations were at higher rates than older loans. Further, securities yields increased as a result of the loss-earnback transaction in the fourth quarter of 2024.
•The Company’s NIM for the first quarter of 2025 was 3.27%, an increase of 47 basis points from the like quarter. Within interest-earning assets, the loss-earnback transaction in the securities portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2024 resulted in an increase of 50 basis points as compared to the like quarter. In addition, loan yields increased 7 basis points to 5.52%. Following the three rate cuts by the Federal Reserve between September and December of 2024, the rate on interest-bearing deposits fell 19 basis points from the like quarter to the first quarter of 2025.
•Average loan volumes for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $4.0 million higher than the same period in 2024. In addition, interest rates on loans increased 7 basis points to 5.52% for the first quarter of 2025, resulting in an increase in interest income on loans of $0.7 million.
•Due to the impact of the aforementioned Federal Reserve rate cuts in 2024 and the resulting decreased market rates partially offset by higher average balances, deposit interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased $1.0 million compared to the same period in 2024. Average interest-bearing deposit balances increased $453.1 million while rates on those deposits decreased 19 basis points basis points as compared to the same period in the prior year.
•Average borrowings were $486.0 million lower in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to the first quarter of 2024 due in large part to the decreased utilization of short-term borrowings. This decrease in volume of borrowings between periods was mainly attributable to the pay off of the FRB Bank Term Funding Program and FHLB Fixed Rate Credit borrowings, which,during the first quarter of 2024, had an average balance of approximately $477.6 million and carried an interest rate of 5.15%. Coupled with the payoff of $10.0 million of subordinated debt with an interest rate of 8.99% as of March 31, 2024, these changes resulted in the $6.5 million decrease in interest expense on borrowings.
Our NIM for all periods presented benefited from the net accretion income arising from purchase accounting premiums/discounts associated with acquisitions. Presented in the table below is the amount of accretion which increased net interest income in each time period presented.

Total impact on net interest income | | $ | 1,495 | | | $ | 1,965 | | | | | |
The most significant component of the purchase accounting adjustments in each year was loan discount accretion on purchased loans. Generally, the level of loan discount accretion will decline each year due to the natural reduction in outstanding balance of acquired loans.
At March 31, 2025 and 2024, unaccreted loan discounts on purchased loans amounted to $13.3 million and $21.6 million, respectively. The portfolio acquired with the GrandSouth Bancorporation acquisition on January 1, 2023 comprised the majority of the remaining unaccreted loan discount.
In addition to the loan discount accretion recorded on acquired loans, we recorded accretion on the discounts associated with the retained unguaranteed portions of SBA loans sold in the secondary market. The level of SBA loan discount accretion will fluctuate relative to the SBA loan portfolio balances. At March 31, 2025 and 2024, the unaccreted loan discounts on SBA loans amounted to $2.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively.
Provision for Credit Losses and Provision for Unfunded Commitments
The provision for credit losses is comprised of the provision for loan losses and the provision for unfunded commitments. The provision recorded in each period represents the amount required such that the total ACL reflects the current estimate of life of loan credit losses in the loan portfolio and the allowance for unfunded commitments reflects the current expected losses on unfunded loan commitments that are expected to result in outstanding loan balances. Our estimate of credit losses is determined using a complex model that relies on reasonable and supportable forecasts and historical loss information to determine the balance of the ACL and allowance for unfunded commitments. Refer also to “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Item 7 of the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for more information.
The provision for credit losses was $1.1 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2025 included $2.0 million reversal specifically attributed to Hurricane Helene and totaled $1.4 million as compared to $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2024. The provision for unfunded commitments reflected reversals of $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Within the portions of Western North and South Carolina that were significantly impacted by Hurricane Helene, the Company identified borrowers with approximately $722 million of loans outstanding. The Company continues to evaluate possible impacts from the storm and has reserved accordingly based upon the information available at each reporting period since September 30, 2024. The Company applied increased reserve rates based upon severe economic factors to the approximately $722 million of loans in the path of Helene. Additionally, the Company performed an evaluation of the largest commercial loans in its impacted markets and applied incremental reserves to those loans that were suspected of having higher potential property damage or economic impact from the storm The incremental reserve related to the potential exposure from Hurricane Helene added 0.14% to the ACL as of March 31, 2025.
Additional discussion of the CECL method and our asset quality and credit metrics, which impact our provision for credit losses, is provided in the "Nonperforming Assets" and "Allowance for Credit Losses, Allowance for Unfunded Commitments, and Loan Loss Experience" sections following.
Noninterest Income
Our noninterest income amounted to $12.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Decreases of $0.8 million in SBA loan sale gains and $0.6 million in Other income were partially offset by the $1.0 million Securities losses, net in the first quarter of 2024.

Noninterest Expenses
Total noninterest expenses totaled $57.9 million and $59.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The primary contributors to the $1.3 million, or 2.2%, decrease in noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2025 were the $0.9 million decrease in Occupancy and equipment expenses, the $0.4 million decrease in FDIC insurance costs, the $0.4 million decrease in Professional fees and the $0.4 million decrease in software licenses and other software costs, partially offset by increases of $0.8 million in Total personnel costs and $0.4 million in Non-credit losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, there was a continued overall effort by management to control costs and reduce expenses.
The following table presents the primary components of noninterest expenses.

Income Taxes
We recorded income tax expense of $10.4 million and $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 22.2% and 20.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets at March 31, 2025 amounted to $12.4 billion, a $288.6 million, or 2.4%, increase from December 31, 2024 and was primarily related to higher interest-bearing cash, investment securities and loan balances.
Total loans at March 31, 2025 were $8.1 billion, an increase of $8.4 million, or 0.1%, from December 31, 2024. The mix of our loan portfolio remained substantially the same at March 31, 2025 as compared to December 31, 2024. The majority of our real estate loans were personal mortgages and commercial loans where real estate provides additional security for the loan. Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements presents additional detail regarding our mix of loans. At March 31, 2025, we had no notable concentrations in geographies or industries, including in office or hospitality categories. The Company's exposure to non-owner occupied commercial office loans represented approximately 6.0% of the total portfolio at March 31, 2025, with the largest loan being $26.3 million and the average outstanding loan balance being $1.3 million. Non-owner occupied office loans were generally in non-metro markets and the 10 largest loans in this category represented less than 2% of the total loan portfolio at March 31, 2025.
Total investment securities were $2.6 billion at March 31, 2025, a decrease of $19.7 million from December 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company purchased $10.0 million of investment
securities. There were no sales of investment securities during the first quarter of 2025. The unanticipated call of a security during the first quarter of 2024 resulted in a loss of $975 thousand related to the unamortized premium balance. In addition, the Company continues to utilize cash flows from investment securities to fund other earning assets.
The composition of our investment portfolio remained substantially the same at March 31, 2025 as at December 31, 2024, with the exception of Corporate bonds, which increased $10.0 million due to the aforementioned purchase.
The unrealized loss on AFS securities totaled $321.2 million at March 31, 2025. Refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for additional detailed information regarding our mix of investments and the unrealized losses for each category. We evaluated the unrealized losses on individual securities at March 31, 2025 and determined them to be of a temporary nature due primarily to interest rate factors and not credit quality concerns. In arriving at this conclusion, we reviewed third-party credit ratings and considered the severity of the impairment.
Total deposits amounted to $10.7 billion at March 31, 2025, an increase of $214.1 million, or 2.0%, from December 31, 2024. Organic growth accounted for the growth, as brokered deposits remained flat during the quarter.
We continue to have a diversified and granular deposit base which has remained stable with continued growth in customer deposits, primarily money market accounts. Our deposit mix has remained relatively consistent and has not changed significantly.

As of March 31, 2025, the estimated insured deposits totaled $6.5 billion or 60.2% of total deposits, while approximately $4.3 billion of the Company's total deposits were uninsured. In addition to insured deposits, there were deposits with a balance totaling $725.9 million at March 31, 2025 which were collateralized by investment securities such that approximately 66.9% of our total deposits were insured or collateralized at that date.
Nonperforming Assets
NPAs are defined as nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 or more days and still accruing interest, and foreclosed real estate. NPAs are summarized as follows:

As shown in the table above, total NPAs at March 31, 2025 decreased to $33.9 million from year end and related primarily to the $2.7 million decrease in nonaccrual loans.
Commercial and industrial is the largest category of nonaccrual loans, at $9.7 million, or 33.3%, of total nonaccrual loans, followed by Commercial real estate - owner occupied at $9.4 million, or 32.3% Included in various loan categories are nonaccrual SBA loans totaling $15.4 million at March 31, 2025, or 53.0% of total nonaccrual loans, and which have $6.7 million in guarantees from the SBA.
As reflected in Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, total classified loans decreased 21.4% to $51.7 million at March 31, 2025 compared to $65.8 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease resulted primarily from improvements in Commercial real estate - owner occupied loans of $8.4 million and Commercial real estate - owner occupied loans of $3.7 million. Special mention loans decreased 14.37% to $31.8 million at March 31, 2025 compared to $37.1 million at December 31, 2024. The majority of the decrease was attributable to Commercial real estate - non owner occupied loans, which decreased $3.7 million.
Allowance for Credit Losses, Allowance for Unfunded Commitments, and Loan Loss Experience
The total allowance for credit losses amounted to $120.6 million at March 31, 2025 compared to $122.6 million at December 31, 2024. Fluctuations in the ACL are based on loan mix and growth, changes in the levels of
nonperforming loans, economic forecasts impacting loss drivers, and other assumptions and inputs to the CECL model. As discussed previously in the "Provision for Credit Losses and Provision for Unfunded Commitments" section, much of the change to the level of ACL during the period ended March 31, 2025 was primarily related to the release of $2.0 million of the credit reserves arising from Hurricane Helene. The ACL as a percent of loans at March 31, 2025 was 1.49%, 14 basis points of which was attributable to the potential impact from Hurricane Helene.
Within the portions of Western North and South Carolina that were significantly impacted by Hurricane Helene, the Company identified borrowers with approximately $722 million of loans outstanding. The following is a summary of the categories of those loans outstanding as of March 31, 2025:
| | | | | | | | |
($ in thousands) | | Balance |
Commercial and industrial | | $ | 16,106 | |
Construction, development & other land loans | | 22,071 | |

Residential 1-4 family real estate | | 252,647 | |
Home equity loans/lines of credit | | 35,894 | |
Consumer loans | | — | |
Total | | $ | 722,106 | |
Given that the recovery from the storm is ongoing in many impacted communities, the Company continues to evaluate possible impacts from the storm on borrowers and has reserved accordingly based upon the information available as of March 31, 2025. The Company applied increased reserve rates based upon severe economic factors to the approximately $722 million of loans in the most impacted path of Hurricane Helene. Additionally, the Company continues to evaluate the largest commercial loans in that area and applied incremental reserves to those loans that were suspected of having higher potential property damage or economic impact from the storm. Due to the potential exposure from Hurricane Helene, the ACL on these impacted loans was $11.0 million as of March 31, 2025, adding 14 basis points to the overall ACL as a percent of total loans,which was 1.49% as of March 31, 2025.
The ACL reflects our estimate of life of loan expected credit losses that will result from the inability of our borrowers to make required loan payments. We use systematic methodologies to determine the ACL for loans and the allowance for certain off-balance-sheet credit exposures. We consider the effects of past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts on the collectability of the loan portfolio. The ACL is calculated using collectively evaluated pools for loans with similar risk characteristics applying the discounted cash flow ("DCF") method. When a loan no longer shares similar risk characteristics with its segment, the loan is evaluated on an individual basis applying a DCF or asset approach for collateral-dependent loans.
For the periods indicated, the following table summarizes our balances of loans outstanding, average loans outstanding, ACL, charge-offs and recoveries, and key ratios:

While our estimate of the ACL involves a high degree of judgment, we believe the ACL was adequate at each period end presented. Our assessment of the ACL involves uncertainty and judgment and is subject to change in future periods. The amount of any changes could be significant if the assessment of loan quality or collateral values changes substantially with respect to one or more loan relationships or portfolios or if there is a significant change in the reasonable and supportable forecast or assumptions used to model our expected credit losses. No assurance can be given that we will not in any particular period sustain loan losses that are sizable in relation to the amounts reserved or that subsequent evaluations of the loan portfolio, in light of conditions and factors then prevailing, will not require significant changes in the ACL or future charges to earnings. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our ACL and the value of our collateral-dependent loans. Such agencies may require us to recognize adjustments to the ACL based on their judgments about
information available at the time of their examinations. Refer also to “Critical Accounting Policies – Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Allowance for Unfunded Commitments” in Note 1 to the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for more information.
In addition to the ACL on loans, we maintain an allowance for lending-related commitments such as unfunded loan commitments. We estimate expected credit losses associated with these commitments over the contractual period in which we are exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable. The allowance for lending-related commitments on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a component of the provision for credit losses expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. The allowance for unfunded commitments of $8.8 million and $9.1 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, is classified on the consolidated balance sheets within "Other liabilities." The decline in the level of the allowance between periods was driven by a reduction in reserve rates partially offset by an increase in balances of available lines of credit during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Liquidity, Commitments, and Contingencies
Our liquidity is determined by our ability to convert assets to cash or acquire alternative sources of funds to meet the needs of our customers who are withdrawing or borrowing funds, and to maintain required reserve levels, pay expenses and operate the Company on an ongoing basis. Our primary liquidity sources are net income from operations, cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and other short-term investments. Our securities portfolio has a high percentage of amortizing mortgage-backed securities generating monthly cash flows. In addition, the portfolio is comprised almost entirely of readily marketable securities, which could also be sold to provide cash. We also maintain available lines of credit from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve, as well as federal funds lines from several correspondent banks which are summarized below.
At March 31, 2025, the Company had the following sources of readily available borrowing capacity:
•A $1.3 billion line of credit with the FHLB that can be structured as either short-term or long-term borrowings, depending on the particular funding or liquidity needs. As of March 31, 2025, the line of credit is secured by a blanket lien on portions of the Company's real estate loan portfolio totaling approximately $2.3 billion and the Company's FHLB stock totaling $8.5 million. $0.8 million was outstanding on the line of credit at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024;
•Federal funds lines of credit with correspondent banks totaling $265.0 million which allow the Company to purchase federal funds on an overnight, unsecured basis. No borrowings were outstanding at March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024; and
•An approximately $801.9 million line of credit through the Federal Reserve's discount window borrowing program, which was secured at March 31, 2025 by a blanket lien on a portion of the Company’s commercial and consumer loan portfolios (excluding those secured by real estate collateral) totaling approximately $338.3 million and specific investment securities with a carrying value of $695.9 million. No borrowings were outstanding at March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Our overall on-balance sheet liquidity ratio was 19.8% at March 31, 2025 compared to 17.6% at December 31, 2024. We define our liquidity ratio as net liquid assets (cash, unpledged securities and other marketable assets) as a percentage of our net liabilities (unpledged deposits and borrowings). Our total liquidity ratio, including the $2.4 billion in available lines of credit, was 36.4% as of March 31, 2025. Not included in these ratios are the readily available sources of funds through brokered deposits. As of March 31, 2025, our brokered deposits availability was $1.9 billion per our internal policy.
The amount and timing of our contractual obligations and commercial commitments have not changed materially since December 31, 2024, the detail of which is presented in the "Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments" table of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, we are not involved in any legal proceedings that, in our opinion, could have a material effect on our consolidated financial position.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Derivative Financial Instruments
Off-balance sheet arrangements include transactions, agreements, or other contractual arrangements pursuant to which we have obligations or provide guarantees on behalf of an unconsolidated entity. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements of this kind other than letters of credit and repayment guarantees associated with our trust preferred securities and subordinated debentures.
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions. As an element of our risk management strategies, we may enter into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. Derivative financial instruments include futures, forwards, interest rate swaps, options contracts, and other financial instruments with similar characteristics.
We do not engage in significant derivatives activities. However, in 2023 to accommodate customers, we implemented a program whereby we enter into interest rate swaps with certain commercial loan customers, with offsetting positions to dealers under a back-to-back swap program. At March 31, 2025, the Company's derivative financial instruments consisted entirely of customer back-to-back interest rate swaps which are not designated as hedges. Under this program, the Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously economically hedged by offsetting derivatives that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate derivatives associated with this program are not designated as hedging instruments, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and the offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in earnings. There have been no material changes from the derivative positions discussed in Note 13 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Capital Resources
The Company is regulated by the Federal Reserve and is subject to the securities registration and public reporting regulations of the SEC. Our Bank is also regulated by the Federal Reserve and the North Carolina Office of the Commissioner of Banks ("NCCOB"). We must comply with regulatory capital requirements established by the Federal Reserve and the NCCOB. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements. We are not aware of any recommendations of regulatory authorities or otherwise which, if they were to be implemented, would have a material effect on our liquidity, capital resources, or operations.
Under Basel III standards and capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
The Federal Reserve's capital standards require us to maintain minimum ratios of “common equity tier 1” capital to total risk-weighted assets, “tier 1” capital to total risk-weighted assets, and total capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.50%, 6.00% and 8.00%, respectively. Common equity tier 1 capital is comprised of common stock and related surplus, plus retained earnings, and is reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets, net of associated deferred tax liabilities. Tier 1 capital is comprised of common equity tier 1 capital plus "additional tier 1 capital", which includes non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock and trust preferred securities. Total risk-based capital is comprised of tier 1 capital plus qualifying subordinated debentures, and certain adjustments, the largest of which is our ACL and allowance for unfunded commitments. The Company has elected to exclude AOCI related primarily to AFS securities from common equity tier 1 capital. Risk-weighted assets refer to our on- and off-balance sheet exposures, adjusted for their related risk levels using formulas set forth in Federal Reserve regulations.
In addition to the risk-based capital requirements described above, we are subject to a leverage capital requirement, which calls for a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital (as defined above) to quarterly average total assets of 3.00% to 5.00%, depending upon the institution’s composite ratings as determined by its regulators. The Federal Reserve has not advised us of any requirement specifically applicable to us.
At March 31, 2025, as shown in the table below, we were well-capitalized. The capital ratios at March 31, 2025 increased as compared to 2024 year end ratios related primarily to retention of earnings increasing capital, combined with loan reductions and shifts in asset mix to lower risk-weighted assets. The following table presents the capital ratios for the Company and the regulatory minimums discussed above for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 | | Minimum required |
Risk-based capital ratios: | | | | | | |
Common equity Tier 1 ratio | | 14.52 | % | | 14.35 | % | | 7.00 | % |
| | | | | | |
Tier I capital ratio | | 15.34 | % | | 15.17 | % | | 8.50 | % |
| | | | | | |
Total risk-based capital ratio | | 16.80 | % | | 16.63 | % | | 10.50 | % |
| | | | | | |
Leverage capital ratio: | | | | | | |
Tier 1 capital to quarterly average total assets | | 11.41 | % | | 11.15 | % | | 4.00 | % |
The Bank is also subject to capital requirements that do not vary materially from the Company’s capital ratios presented above. At March 31, 2025, the Bank exceeded the minimum ratios established by the regulatory authorities.
In addition to regulatory capital ratios, we also closely monitor our ratio of tangible common equity ("TCE") to tangible assets, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. TCE divided by tangible assets excludes the effect of goodwill and other intangible assets, net of related taxes from the GAAP basis total shareholders’ common equity and GAAP basis total assets. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information that is useful to investors in evaluating our performance and may facilitate comparisons with other institutions in the banking industry as well as period-to-period comparisons. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors should consider the Company’s performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the Company. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, are not audited, and may not be comparable to other similarly titled financial measures used by other companies. Investors should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results or financial condition as reported under GAAP. The TCE ratio was 8.55% at March 31, 2025 compared to 8.22% at December 31, 2024.
The following table reconciles common equity to TCE and provides the calculation of the TCE ratio:

(1) In January 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of up to $40 million of the Company’s common stock. Any such repurchases would be made pursuant to a plan approved by and containing provisions about the timing, purchase prices and quantities purchased determined by management in its discretion. The Company did not make any such purchases in 2024. The Board of Directors renewed this authorization in January 2025. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had repurchased a total of 24,849 shares at an average price per share of $39.87.
Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates, exchange rates, and equity prices. The Company’s market risk is composed primarily of interest rate risk inherent in the normal course of lending and deposit-taking activities. We are also exposed to market risk in our investing activities. We do not have any trading assets or activities.
Interest Rate Risk
Net interest income is our most significant component of earnings and we consider interest rate risk to be our most significant market risk. Our net interest income results from the difference between the yields we earn on our interest-earning assets, primarily loans and investments, and the rates that we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits and borrowings. When interest rates change, the yields we earn on our interest-earning assets and the rates we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities do not necessarily move in tandem with each other because of the difference between their maturities and repricing characteristics and which can negatively impact net interest income.
Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control, including general economic conditions and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies and, in particular, the Federal Reserve. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, influence not only the interest we receive on loans and investments and the amount of interest we pay on deposits and borrowings, but such changes could also affect the average duration of our mortgage portfolio, investment securities and other interest-earning assets.
Our goal is to structure our asset/liability composition to maximize net interest income while managing interest rate risk so as to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income and capital in either a rising or declining interest rate environment. Profitability is affected by fluctuations in interest rates. A sudden and substantial change in interest rates may impact our earnings adversely because the interest rates of the underlying assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent or on the same basis.
Interest rate risk is monitored through the use of several complementary modeling tools, primarily earnings simulation modeling, and economic value simulation (net present value estimation). These models measure changes in a variety of interest rate scenarios. While interest rate risk models have limitations, taken together they represent a reasonably comprehensive view of the magnitude of our interest rate risk, the level of risk through time, and the amount of exposure to changes in certain interest rate relationships. Earnings simulation and economic value models are utilized by management on a regular basis as they more effectively measure the cash flow and optionality impacts than does a static gap analysis. From the various model results and our expectations regarding future interest rate movements, the national, regional and local economies, and other financial and business risk factors, we quantify the overall magnitude of interest sensitivity risk and then determine appropriate strategies and practices governing asset growth and pricing, funding sources and pricing, and off-balance sheet commitments.
Earnings Simulation Analysis
We use net interest income simulations which measure the short-term earnings exposure from changes in market rates of interest. The model calculates an earnings estimate based on current and projected balances and rates, incorporating our current financial position with assumptions regarding future business to calculate net interest income under varying hypothetical rate scenarios. This method is subject to the accuracy of the assumptions that underlie the process, but it provides a better analysis of the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates than other analyses, such as the static gap analysis.
Assumptions used in the model are derived from historical trends and management’s outlook. The model assumes a static balance sheet with cash flows reinvested in similar instruments to maintain the balance sheet levels and current composition. Actual cash flows and repricing characteristics for our balance sheet instruments are input to the model. The model incorporates market-based assumptions regarding the impact of changing interest rates on the prepayment rate of certain assets and liabilities. Because these assumptions are inherently uncertain, actual results may differ from simulated results.
Different interest rate scenarios and yield curves are used to measure the sensitivity of earnings to changing interest rates in both a "shocked" instantaneous move and a "ramped" move of rates. Interest rates on different asset and liability accounts move differently when the Federal Reserve changes rates and such assumptions are reflected in the different rate scenarios. The model does not take into account any future actions that management may take to mitigate the impact of interest rate changes, and it is our strategy to proactively change the volume and mix of our balance sheet in order to mitigate our interest rate risk.
As of March 31, 2025, the net interest income sensitivity indicated an asset sensitive position to net interest income from immediate parallel rate shifts in both rising and falling rates over a one year period with an increase of 5.5% in + 200 rate scenario, an increase of 5.7% in +100 rate scenario, a decrease of 1.2% in -100 scenario and a decrease of 2.5% in a -200 rate scenario. These scenarios assume an immediate change in rates and no change in the shape of the yield curve. Management also evaluates a steepening of the yield curve in rate reduction scenarios. For a -100 rate scenario, net interest income would increase by 2.1% and for a -200 rate scenario,net interest income would decrease by 1.2%.
Assumptions utilized in the net interest income sensitivity analyses are inherently uncertain, and actual results may differ from simulated results.
Economic Value Simulation
Economic value simulation is used to calculate the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities over different interest rate environments. Economic values are calculated based on discounted cash flow analysis. The net economic value of equity is the economic value of all assets minus the economic value of all liabilities assuming a liquidation of the current balance sheet. The change in net economic value over different rate environments is an indication of the longer-term earnings capability of the balance sheet. The same assumptions are generally used in the economic value simulation as in the earnings simulation, including immediate and parallel rate shocks and static assumptions for deposit average decay rate and average lives.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s economic value of equity ("EVE") generally declines in rising rate scenarios and improves in falling rate scenarios. The decline in EVE under a rising rate environment is driven by the composition of the loans and investment portfolios, primarily related to fixed rate loans and fixed rate mortgage-backed securities as compared to a higher proportion of deposits having variable rates. In addition to impacts on market values from changes in interest rates, fixed rate loans and securities tend to prepay more quickly in lower rate environments and prepay more slowly in rising rate environments, leading to impacts on their relative valuation in the EVE calculation. As of March 31, 2025, the impact of increasing rates on EVE were -2.3% in +100 rate scenario and -10.5% in +200 rate scenario, compared to +3.8% in -100 rate scenario and +4.1% in -200 rate scenario.
Additional discussion concerning our exposure to interest rate risk is presented in Item 7A of the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
Inflation
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires the financial position and operating results to be measured principally in terms of historic dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.
Nearly all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature, and as such, changes in interest rates (as discussed above) generally affect the financial condition of the Company to a greater degree than changes in the rate of inflation. Although interest rates are influenced by changes in the inflation rate, they do not necessarily change at the same rate or in the same magnitude as the inflation rate. Inflation affects the Company’s results of operations mainly through increased operating costs, and the impact of inflation on banks in general is normally not as significant as its influence on those businesses that have large investments in plant and inventories. We review the pricing of our products and services, as well as our controllable operating and labor costs in light of current and expected costs due to inflation, to mitigate the inflationary impact on financial performance to the extent possible.
Item 4 – Controls and Procedures
Management, under the supervision of and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, which are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this assessment, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025 were effective in allowing timely decisions regarding disclosure to be made about material information required to be included in our periodic reports with the SEC. In addition, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting which has occurred during, or subsequent to, the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II. Other Information
Item 1 – Legal Proceedings
Various legal proceedings may arise in the ordinary course of business and may be pending or threatened against the Company and its subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are involved in any pending legal proceedings that management believes are material to the Company or its consolidated financial position. If an exposure were to be identified, it is the Company’s policy to establish and accrue appropriate reserves during the accounting period in which a loss is deemed to be probable and the amount is determinable.
