Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements
This Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are neither statements of historical or current fact nor are they assurances of future performance and generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes”, “expects”, “may”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “projects”, “plans”, “goal”, “targets”, “potential”, “estimates”, “pro forma”, “seeks”, “intends”, or “anticipates”, or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements include discussions of strategy, financial projections, guidance and estimates (including their underlying assumptions), statements regarding plans, objectives, expectations or consequences of various transactions or events, and statements about our future performance, operations, products and services, and should be viewed with caution.
Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and changes in circumstances, many of which are beyond our control, and that are difficult to predict as to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence, and that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results implied or anticipated by the statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to the following:
•negative economic and political conditions that adversely affect the general economy, the banking sector, housing prices, the real estate market, the job market, consumer confidence, the financial condition of our borrowers and consumer spending habits, which may affect, among other things, the levels of NPAs, charge-offs and provision expense;
•changes in loan underwriting, credit review or loss policies associated with economic conditions, examination conclusions or regulatory developments;
•the potential effects of pandemics or public health conditions on the economic and business environments in which we operate, including the impact of actions taken by governmental authorities to address these conditions;
•strategic, market, operational, liquidity and interest rate risks associated with our business;
•potential fluctuations or unanticipated changes in the interest rate environment, including interest rate changes made by the Federal Reserve, replacement or reform of other interest rate benchmarks, as well as cash flow reassessments may reduce net interest margin and/or the volumes and values of loans made or held as well as the value of other financial assets;
•any unanticipated or greater than anticipated adverse conditions in the national or local economies in which we operate;
•our loan concentration in industries or sectors that may experience unanticipated or greater than anticipated adverse conditions than other industries or sectors in the national or local economies in which we operate;

At March 31, 2025, there were 536 AFS debt securities and 302 HTM debt securities that were in an unrealized loss position. United does not intend to sell nor does it believe it will be required to sell securities in an unrealized loss position prior to the recovery of their amortized cost basis. Unrealized losses at March 31, 2025 were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates.
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the majority of HTM securities were considered to have a zero loss assumption for ACL purposes. For the remaining HTM securities, primarily those issued by state and political subdivisions, calculated credit losses, and, thus, the related ACL were de minimis due to the high credit quality of the portfolio. As a result, no ACL was recorded on the HTM portfolio at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. In addition, based on the assessments performed at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was no ACL required related to the AFS portfolio.
The following table presents accrued interest receivable on HTM and AFS debt securities, which was excluded from the estimate of credit losses, for the periods indicated.

Credit Quality Indicators
United utilizes internal risk ratings as the primary credit quality indicator as outlined below:
Commercial Purpose Loans. United analyzes commercial loans individually on an ongoing basis based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, public information, and current industry and economic trends, among other factors. Commercial loans are categorized by the credit risk ratings of Pass, Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful. Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful ratings are defined by regulatory authorities and represent an elevated level of risk due to weaknesses identified related to the credit and/or borrower. Ratings within these categories are based on the severity of the weakness and the likelihood of repayment. Pass loans are considered to have a low probability of default and do not meet the criteria of the other ratings.
Consumer Purpose Loans. United applies a pass/fail grading system to all consumer purpose loans. Under this system, loans that are on nonaccrual status, become past due 90 days, or are in bankruptcy and 30 or more days past due are classified as “fail” and all other loans are classified as “pass”. For reporting purposes, loans in these categories that are classified as “fail” are reported as substandard and all other loans are reported as pass.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The ACL for loans represents management’s estimate of life of loan credit losses in the portfolio as of the end of the period. The ACL related to unfunded commitments is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
For all periods presented, United used a one-year reasonable and supportable forecast period. Expected credit losses were estimated using a regression model for each segment based on historical data from peer banks combined with a baseline economic forecast to predict the change in credit losses. These estimates were then combined with a starting value that was based on United’s recent charge-off experience to produce an expected default rate, with the results subject to a floor.
At March 31, 2025, the baseline economic forecast had worsened slightly relative to the forecast at December 31, 2024 due to uncertainty related to the federal administration’s policies. At March 31, 2025, United applied qualitative adjustments to decrease the model’s calculated ACL for the residential mortgage, commercial and industrial and commercial construction portfolios to better reflect management’s expectations of future performance as indicated by internal credit performance measures. In addition, at March 31, 2025, United’s qualitative adjustment to estimate losses for loans to borrowers affected by Hurricane Helene added $7.17 million to the ACL balance, compared to $9.80 million at December 31, 2024.
For periods beyond the reasonable and supportable forecast period of one year, United reverted to historical credit loss information on a straight line basis over two years. For most collateral types, United reverted to through-the-cycle average default rates using peer data from 2000 to 2017. For loans secured by residential mortgages, the peer data was adjusted for changes in lending practices designed to mitigate the magnitude of losses observed during the 2008 mortgage crisis.
The following table presents the balance and activity in the ACL by portfolio segment for the periods indicated.

United clears certain derivatives centrally through the CME. CME rules legally characterize variation margin payments for centrally cleared derivatives as settlements of the derivatives’ exposure rather than as collateral. As a result, the variation margin payment and the related derivative instruments are considered a single unit of account for accounting purposes. Variation margin, as determined by the CME, is settled daily. As a result, derivative contracts that clear through the CME have an estimated fair value of zero.
Hedging Derivatives
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, United utilized interest rate caps and swaps to hedge the variability of cash flows due to changes in interest rates on certain of its variable-rate subordinated debt and trust preferred securities. Gains and losses related to changes in fair value are reclassified into earnings in the periods the hedged forecasted transactions occur. Over the next twelve months, United expects to reclassify $3.97 million of gains from AOCI into earnings related to these agreements.
Fair Value Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
United uses interest rate derivatives to manage its exposure to changes in fair value attributable to changes in interest rates on certain of its fixed-rate financial instruments.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
Customer derivative positions include swaps, caps, and collars between United and certain commercial loan customers with offsetting positions to dealers under a back-to-back program. In addition, United occasionally enters into credit risk participation agreements with counterparty banks to accept or transfer a portion of the credit risk related to interest rate swaps.
United also has three interest rate swap contracts that are economic hedges of market-linked brokered certificates of deposit, which contain embedded derivatives that are bifurcated from the host instruments. The fair value marks on the swaps and the bifurcated embedded derivatives tend to move in opposite directions and therefore provide an economic hedge.
In addition, in connection with residential mortgage loans that are originated with the intention of selling them, United enters into commitments to originate residential mortgage loans and forward loan sales commitments.

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features
United manages its credit exposure on derivatives transactions by entering into a bilateral credit support agreement with each non-customer counterparty. The credit support agreements require collateralization of exposures beyond specified minimum threshold amounts. The details of these agreements, including the minimum thresholds, vary by counterparty.
United’s agreements with each of its derivative counterparties provide that if either party defaults on any of its indebtedness, then it could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. The agreements with derivative counterparties also include provisions that if not met, could result in United being declared in default. United has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that provide that if United fails to maintain its status as a well-capitalized institution or is subject to a prompt corrective action directive, the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and United would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements. Derivatives that are centrally cleared do not have credit-risk-related features that would require additional collateral if United’s credit rating were downgraded.
Note 5 – Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market available to the entity in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair values are categorized within a three-level measurement hierarchy:
Level 1 Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that United has the ability to access.
Level 2 Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3 Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.
United has processes in place to review the significant valuation inputs and to assesses on a quarterly basis how instruments are classified within the valuation framework. Transfers into or out of fair value hierarchy levels are made as the observability of input assumptions change. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no changes to valuation approaches or techniques that warranted a hierarchy level change.

Fair Value Option
United generally records mortgage loans held for sale at fair value under the fair value option. Interest income on these loans is calculated based on the note rate of the loan and is recorded in interest revenue. The following tables present the fair value and outstanding principal balance of loans accounted for under the fair value option, as well as the gain or loss recognized from the change in fair value for the periods indicated.

Changes in fair value were mostly offset by hedging activities. An immaterial portion of these amounts was attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
United may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of the lower of the amortized cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets due to impairment. The following table presents the fair value hierarchy and carrying value of assets that were still held as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, for which a nonrecurring fair value adjustment was recorded during the year-to-date periods presented.

Loans held for investment that are reported above are generally impaired loans that have either been partially charged off or have specific reserves assigned to them.
Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value
The following disclosure provides estimated fair values for financial instruments not carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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 the premium or discount on any particular financial instrument that could result from the sale of United’s entire holdings. All estimates are inherently subjective in nature. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Note 8 – Regulatory Matters
As of March 31, 2025, United and the Bank were categorized as well-capitalized under the regulatory requirements in effect at that time. To be categorized as well-capitalized, United and the Bank must have exceeded the well-capitalized guideline ratios in effect at the time, as set forth in the table below, and have met certain other requirements. Management believes that United and the Bank exceeded all well-capitalized requirements at March 31, 2025, and there have been no conditions or events since quarter-end that would change the status of well-capitalized.
Regulatory capital ratios at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, along with the minimum amounts required for capital adequacy purposes and to be well-capitalized under regulatory requirements in effect at such times, are presented below for United and the Bank:

Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies
United is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. United uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it uses for underwriting on-balance sheet instruments. In most cases, collateral or other security is required to support financial instruments with credit risk.
The following table summarizes the contractual amount of significant off-balance sheet instruments as of the dates indicated.
| | | | | | | | | | | |

Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk: | | | |
Commitments to extend credit | $ | 4,086,002 | | | $ | 3,970,991 | |
Letters of credit | 61,606 | | | 57,983 | |
United, in the normal course of business, is subject to various pending and threatened lawsuits in which claims for monetary damages are asserted. Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of these lawsuits, or the range of any possible loss, management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not anticipate that the ultimate aggregate liability, if any, arising from these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on United’s financial position or results of operations.
Note 10 - Subsequent Events
Acquisition of ANB Holdings, Inc.
On May 1, 2025, United completed the previously announced acquisition of ANB Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, American National Bank, collectively referred to as “ANB”. ANB is headquartered in Oakland Park, Florida where it operates one banking location. As of March 31, 2025, American National Bank had total assets of $452 million, total loans of $317 million, and total deposits of $387 million.
ANB shareholders received $65.7 million, or 2,380,952 shares, of United common stock as consideration for the transaction. The acquisition will be accounted for as a business combination. Due to the timing of the acquisition, United is currently in the process of completing the purchase accounting and will make all of the remaining required disclosures as of June 30, 2025.
Share Repurchases
Beginning in April 2025, through May 7, 2025, United repurchased 505,898 shares of common stock for $13.9 million in accordance with its common stock repurchase program.
Debt Redemption
United has provided a redemption notice to the holders of the 2030 senior debentures of $100 million. Repayment is scheduled to occur during the second quarter of 2025.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is a discussion of our financial condition at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The purpose of this discussion is to focus on information about our financial condition and results of operations which is not otherwise apparent from our consolidated financial statements and is intended to provide insight into our results of operations and financial condition. The following discussion and analysis should be read along with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Part I - Item 1 of this Report, “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and the risk factors discussed in our 2024 10-K and the other reports we have filed with the SEC after we filed the 2024 10-K.
Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us” refer to United on a consolidated basis.
Overview
We offer a wide array of commercial and consumer banking services and investment advisory solutions through a 200 branch network throughout Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Florida and Alabama. Our equipment finance and SBA/USDA lending businesses operate throughout the United States. At March 31, 2025, we had consolidated total assets of $27.9 billion and 2,982 full-time equivalent employees.
Results of Operations
We reported net income and diluted earnings per common share of $71.4 million and $0.58, respectively, for the first quarter of 2025. This compared to net income and diluted earnings per common share of $62.6 million and $0.51, respectively, for the same period in 2024. We reported total revenue for the first quarters of 2025 and 2024 of $248 million and $239 million, respectively.
Net interest revenue increased to $212 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $199 million for the first quarter of 2024. The increase was mostly driven by a $14.9 million decrease in deposit interest expense as the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased 42 basis points. The net interest margin increased to 3.36% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 3.20% for the same period in 2024, primarily due to the steeper decrease in interest rates paid on deposits compared to the decrease in interest rates earned on loans.
Noninterest income of $35.7 million for the first quarter of 2025 was down $3.93 million, or 10%, from the first quarter of 2024, primarily driven by a $1.39 million decrease in mortgage loan gains and related fees and a $1.85 million decrease in wealth management fees. The decrease in mortgage loan gains and related fees was primarily due to a less favorable fair value adjustment on our mortgage servicing asset. The decrease in wealth management fees reflects the decrease in assets under management following the sale of FinTrust in the fourth quarter of 2024.
We recorded a provision for credit losses of $15.4 million and $12.9 million for the first quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The higher provision expense for the first quarter of 2025 reflects a less favorable economic forecast and net loan growth, partially offset by lower net charge-offs and a partial release of the 2024 reserve related to Hurricane Helene.
For the first quarter of 2025, noninterest expenses of $141 million decreased by $3.90 million compared to the same period of 2024. The decrease was largely driven by a decrease in FDIC assessment and other regulatory charges of $2.92 million as the first quarter of 2024 included $2.50 million in expense related to the FDIC special assessment.
Results for the first quarter of 2025 are discussed in further detail throughout the following sections of MD&A.
Critical Accounting Estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Our accounting and reporting estimates are in accordance with GAAP and conform to customary practices within the banking industry. Estimates that are susceptible to significant changes include accounting for the ACL and fair value measurements, both of which require significant judgments by management. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Also, different assumptions in the application of these accounting estimates could result in material changes in our consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. Our critical accounting estimates are discussed in MD&A in our 2024 10-K.
Non-GAAP Reconciliation and Explanation
This Report contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial information includes the following measures: “tangible book value per common share,” and “tangible common equity to tangible assets.” In addition, management presents non-GAAP operating performance measures, which exclude merger-related and other items that are not part of our ongoing business operations. Operating performance measures include “noninterest income - operating,” “noninterest expense - operating,” “net income – operating,” “diluted income per common share – operating,” “tangible book value per common share,” “return on common equity – operating,” “return on tangible common equity – operating,” “return on assets – operating,” “efficiency ratio – operating” and “tangible common equity to tangible assets” We have developed internal policies and procedures to accurately capture and account for merger-related and other charges and those charges are reviewed with the Audit Committee of our Board each quarter. We use these non-GAAP measures because we believe they provide useful supplemental information for evaluating our operations and performance over periods of time, as well as in managing and evaluating our business and in discussions about our operations and performance. We believe these non-GAAP measures may also provide users of our financial information with a meaningful measure for assessing our financial results and credit trends, as well as a comparison to financial results for prior periods. Nevertheless, non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to or substitute for, measures determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because non-GAAP measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare our non-GAAP measures to similarly titled measures used by other companies. To the extent applicable, reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable measures as reported in accordance with GAAP are included in Table 1 of MD&A.

Net Interest Revenue
The following discussion provides additional details on the daily average balances and net interest revenue for the periods presented. The table that follows indicates the relationship between interest revenue and expense and the daily average amounts of assets and liabilities, which provides further insight into net interest spread and net interest margin for the periods indicated.
Net interest revenue for the first quarters of 2025 and 2024 was $212 million and $199 million, respectively. FTE net interest revenue for the first quarter of 2025 was $213 million, representing an increase of $12.8 million, or 6%, from the same period in 2024. The net interest spread for the first quarters of 2025 and 2024 was 2.46% and 2.16%, respectively. The net interest margin for the first quarters of 2025 and 2024 was 3.36% and 3.20%, respectively.
The interest rate environment changes over the past year included 100 basis points of federal funds rate cuts, which resulted in decreases in both earning-asset yields and funding costs. As a result, FTE net interest revenue for the first quarter of 2025 increased compared to the same period of 2024 as the decrease in deposit interest expense of $14.9 million more than offset the $10.0 million decrease in loan interest revenue. In addition, interest revenue from taxable securities increased $12.5 million due to both a higher average balance and an increase in the average rate earned as we have continued to reinvest in higher-yielding securities. We also experienced a decrease in interest revenue from federal funds sold and other interest-earning assets due to lower interest rates. The increase in net interest margin and net interest spread was primarily driven by a steeper decrease in average rates paid on deposits compared to the decrease in rates earned on loans.

The decrease in mortgage loan gains and related fees for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 was primarily a result of a $1.58 million less favorable fair value adjustment to our mortgage servicing asset partially offset by higher gains on mortgage sales and rate lock volume. The following table provides additional mortgage metrics for the periods indicated.

The decrease in wealth management fees reflects the decrease in assets under management and advisement as a result of the FinTrust sale during the fourth quarter of 2024. Assets under management and advisement totaled $3.18 billion and $5.39 billion at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Customer derivative fee income was up mostly due to stronger loan growth and increased demand for customer derivatives, attributable to the decrease in rates since the first quarter of 2024.
Provision for Credit Losses
We recorded a provision for credit losses of $15.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $12.9 million for the same period of 2024. The increase in provision was mostly driven by a less favorable economic forecast and net loan growth.
These increases were partially offset by a decrease in net charge-offs and a release of a portion of the Hurricane Helene additional allowance established in 2024. Additional discussion on credit quality and the ACL is included in the “Asset Quality and Risk Elements” section of MD&A in this Report.

Salaries and employee benefits for the first quarter of 2025 benefited from the reduction in employees resulting from the sale of FinTrust in the fourth quarter of 2024 and the staff reduction following the manufactured housing loan sale in the third quarter of 2024.
Communications and equipment expense increased primarily due to incremental software contract costs. We also recorded increased depreciation related to equipment placed into service since March 31, 2024, which included technology equipment for our new Greenville headquarters building and new signage associated with our rebranding.
The decrease in FDIC assessments and other regulatory charges in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 reflects a $2.50 million FDIC special assessment accrued in the first quarter of 2024.
Merger-related and other charges for the first quarter of 2025 decreased compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to a decrease in costs associated with our rebranding.

Asset Quality and Risk Elements
We manage asset quality and control credit risk through review and oversight of the loan portfolio as well as adherence to policies designed to promote sound underwriting and loan monitoring practices. Our credit risk management function is responsible for monitoring asset quality and Board approved portfolio concentration limits, establishing credit policies and procedures and enforcing the consistent application of these policies and procedures.
The ACL reflects our assessment of the life of loan expected credit losses in the loan portfolio and unfunded loan commitments. This assessment involves uncertainty and judgment and is subject to change in future periods. See the Critical Accounting Estimates section of MD&A in our 2024 10-K for additional information on the ACL.
The total ACL for loans at March 31, 2025 increased by $4.98 million, or 2%, compared to December 31, 2024 and the ACL for loans as a percentage of total loans increased slightly to 1.15% from 1.14%. The increase in the ACL was primarily attributable to loan growth and a less favorable economic forecast due to uncertainty surrounding the federal administration’s policies. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the Hurricane Helene related allowance based on our most recent assessment of potential losses from loans impacted by the storm. This reserve totaled $7.17 million and $9.80 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Our ACL for unfunded commitments increased mostly due to an increase in our construction commitments.

The decrease in net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by lower commercial and industrial, equipment finance and manufactured housing charge-offs. We completed the sale of the substantially all of our manufactured housing portfolio in the third quarter of 2024. For the first quarter of 2025, the average balance and net charge-offs related to the remaining manufactured housing loans are reflected in consumer loans. Equipment finance charge-offs decreased due to lower long-haul trucking related losses.
Nonperforming Assets
The table below summarizes NPAs for the periods indicated. NPAs include nonaccrual loans, OREO and repossessed assets. The decrease in NPAs since December 31, 2024 was primarily driven by $24.3 million in payoffs and paydowns of nonaccrual loans. Notably, we had one $7.85 million senior care loan payoff (included in income producing CRE) and significant paydowns and payoffs for two commercial and industrial relationships of $5.85 million.

Investment Securities
The composition of the investment securities portfolio reflects our investment strategy of maintaining an appropriate level of liquidity while providing a relatively stable source of revenue. The investment securities portfolio also provides a balance to interest rate risk and credit risk in other categories of the balance sheet while providing a vehicle for the investment of available funds, furnishing liquidity, and supplying securities to pledge as required collateral for certain deposits and borrowings. The table below summarizes the carrying value of our securities portfolio and other relevant portfolio metrics including weighted-average life and effective duration as of the dates presented. Effective duration represents the expected change in the price of a security when rates change by 100 basis points.

We utilize fair value hedges on a portion of our AFS securities portfolio in order to mitigate the impact of potential future unrealized losses on our tangible common equity. Gains and losses related to the hedge and hedged item are reflected in investment securities interest income. The changes in the fair value of the hedge and the hedged item substantially offset each other. See Note 4 to the financial statements for further detail.
At March 31, 2025, HTM debt securities had a fair value of $1.95 billion, indicating net unrealized losses of $386 million. Additional unrealized losses on HTM debt securities of $57.5 million (pre-tax) were included in AOCI as a result of the transfer of AFS debt securities to HTM in 2022. Unrealized losses were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates.
See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for additional detail.
Deposits
Customer deposits are the primary source of funds for the continued growth of our earning assets. We believe our high level of service, as evidenced by our strong customer satisfaction scores, is instrumental in attracting and retaining customer deposit accounts. Since December 31, 2024, customer deposits increased $309 million, mostly driven by an increase in money market deposit balances. As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately $9.78 billion of uninsured deposits, of which $3.04 billion was collateralized by investment securities.

Borrowing Activities
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had long-term debt outstanding of $254 million, which includes senior debentures, subordinated debentures, and trust preferred securities. At March 31, 2025 there were no short-term borrowings outstanding. At December 31, 2024 there were $195 million in short-term borrowings outstanding. The need to utilize wholesale funding sources has decreased as our deposit and cash balances have substantially provided for our liquidity needs.
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There have not been any material changes to our contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements since December 31, 2024.
Interest Rate Sensitivity Management
Interest rate sensitivity is a function of the repricing characteristics of the portfolio of assets and liabilities. Repricing characteristics are the time frames within which the interest rates on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are subject to change either at replacement, repricing or maturity.
Management uses an asset/liability simulation model to measure the potential change in net interest revenue over time using multiple interest rate scenarios. Our modeling is based on the 12-month impact on net interest revenue simulations with various interest rate shocks and ramps, which are compared to a base scenario that assumes rates remain flat. In the shock scenarios, rates immediately change the full amount at the scenario onset. In the ramp scenarios, rates change by 25 basis points per month until they reach the predetermined levels.
The following table presents our interest sensitivity position at the dates indicated. The scenario results presented assume parallel movements in the yield curve, which may differ from actual future curve behavior. Other than an assumption for the runoff of estimated surge deposits, our model generally assumes no change in deposit portfolio size or composition.
| | |

|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Increase (Decrease) in Net Interest Revenue from Base Scenario at | |
| | | March 31, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 | |
| Change in Rates | | Shock | | Ramp | | Shock | | Ramp | |
| 200 basis point increase | | 3.50 | % | | 1.69 | % | | 2.01 | % | | 0.92 | % | |
| 100 basis point increase | | 1.93 | | | 1.28 | | | 1.19 | | | 0.66 | | |
| 100 basis point decrease | | (3.07) | | | (2.03) | | | (2.27) | | | (1.46) | | |
| 200 basis point decrease | | (7.24) | | | (3.17) | | | (6.00) | | | (2.38) | | |
The change in results from December 31, 2024 to March 31, 2025 reflects more floating interest rate loans and a slight shortening of asset duration to address rising interest rate risk concerns. In addition, the balance sheet became slightly more asset sensitive at March 31, 2025 due to higher cash balances on hand at quarter-end.
Liquidity Management
The Bank’s main source of liquidity is customer interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposit accounts. Liquidity is also available from wholesale funding sources consisting primarily of repurchase agreements, Federal funds purchased, FHLB advances, and brokered deposits. These sources of liquidity are generally short-term in nature and are used as necessary to fund asset growth and meet other short-term liquidity needs. As part of our liquidity management, we focus on maximizing the amount of securities and loans available as collateral for contingent liquidity sources and calibrating our assumptions in our liquidity stress test on an ongoing basis, particularly as it relates to deposit duration. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had sufficient liquid funds and qualifying collateral to support additional borrowings, which are detailed in the table below.

(1) Based on collateral pledged.
In addition, because the Holding Company is a separate entity and apart from the Bank, it must provide for its own liquidity. The Holding Company is responsible for the payment of dividends declared for its common and preferred shareholders, and interest and principal on any outstanding debt or trust preferred securities. The Holding Company currently has sufficient liquid assets to meet these obligations. Holding Company liquidity is maintained at a level of at least 15 months of forecasted cash obligations.
In the opinion of management, our liquidity position at March 31, 2025 was sufficient to meet our expected cash flow requirements for the foreseeable future. See the consolidated statement of cash flows for further detail.
Capital Resources and Dividends
Shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2025 was $3.50 billion, an increase of $68.8 million from December 31, 2024 primarily due to year-to-date earnings and other comprehensive income, partially offset by dividends declared on common and preferred stock.
The following table shows capital ratios, as calculated under applicable regulatory guidelines, at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, capital levels remained characterized as “well-capitalized” under regulatory requirements in effect at the time. Additional information related to capital ratios is provided in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.

Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices
A bank’s asset and liability structure is substantially different from that of an industrial firm in that primarily all assets and liabilities of a bank are monetary in nature with relatively little investment in fixed assets or inventories. Management believes the effect of inflation on financial results depends on our ability to react to changes in interest rates, and by such reaction, reduce the inflationary effect on performance. We have an asset/liability management program to manage interest rate sensitivity. In addition, periodic reviews of banking services and products are conducted to adjust pricing in view of current and expected costs.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
There have been no material changes in our market risk as of March 31, 2025 from that presented in our 2024 10-K. Our interest rate sensitivity position at March 31, 2025 is set forth in Table 13 in MD&A of this Report and incorporated herein by this reference.
