The allowance for credit loss (“ACL”) represents management’s best estimate of future lifetime expected losses on its held for investment loan portfolio. The Company calculates its ACL by estimating expected credit losses on a collective basis for loans that share similar risk characteristics. Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans are evaluated for credit losses on an individual basis. The increase in ACL for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared with December 31, 2024, primarily consisted of an increase in ACL for collectively evaluated loans. The year-over-year increase in ACL was primarily driven by loan growth during the period.

Nonaccrual loans and loans past due 89 days and still accruing interest include both smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for credit losses and loans that are individually evaluated. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no allowance for credit losses allocated to nonaccrual loans. At December 31, 2025, collateral-dependent loans consisted of $331 thousand of residential real estate loans and $328 thousand of commercial real estate loans. At December 31, 2024, collateral-dependent loans consisted of $598 thousand of residential real estate loans and $29 thousand of commercial industrial loans. Residential real estate loans were secured by residential real estate properties, commercial real estate loans were secured by commercial real estate properties, and commercial and industrial loans were secured by other assets.

Loan Modification Made to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

Occasionally, the Company modifies loans to borrowers in financial distress by providing principal forgiveness, term extension, an other-than-insignificant payment delay or interest rate reduction. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged off against the allowance for credit losses.

In some cases, the Company provides multiple types of concessions on one loan. Typically, one type of concession, such as term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession, such as principal forgiveness, may be granted. The following tables present (in thousands) the amortized cost basis of loans at December 31, 2025 and 2024 that were both experiencing financial difficulty and modified during the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, by class and by type of modification. The percentage of the amortized cost basis of loans that were modified to borrowers in financial distress as compared to the book value of each class of financing receivable is also presented below:

NOTE 3 – LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (Continued)

There were no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty whose terms have been restructured at December 31, 2025 or 2024.

All loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that have been modified during the year ended December 31, 2024 were current to their contractual payments as of December 31, 2024 with the exception of $184 thousand in consumer loans that were in the 30 to 89 days past due category at December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, there were no loans that were previously modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were more than 30 days past due.

For restructured loans, a subsequent payment default is defined in terms of delinquency, when a principal or interest payment is 90 days past due or classified into non-accrual status during the reporting period.

Of the loans restructured during the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no subsequent defaults as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk.

The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected

Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

The Bank analyzes commercial loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk using standard industry classifications. Commercial loans not classified are considered to be pass-rated loans. The Bank considers the performance of the loan portfolio and its impact on the allowance for credit losses. For residential real estate, HELOC and consumer loans, the Bank evaluates credit quality based on the aging status of the loan and by payment activity. The following table presents the risk category of loans and current period gross charge-offs as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 by loan segment and vintage year (in thousands):

NOTE 3 – LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (Continued)

The Bank retains the servicing rights on certain mortgage loans sold. Total loans serviced by the Company for unrelated third parties were approximately $65.4 million and $60.2 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. At December 31, 2025 and 2024 the unamortized balance of mortgage servicing rights on loans sold with servicing retained was approximately $150 thousand and $60 thousand, respectively. The estimated fair value of these mortgage servicing rights was in excess of their carrying value at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and therefore no impairment reserve was necessary. Fees earned for servicing loans totaled $153 thousand and $157 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into loan transactions with certain of its directors and executive officers (“Related Parties”). All loans to Related Parties were made at substantially the same terms and conditions at the time of origination as other originated loans to borrowers that were not affiliated with the Company. The aggregate amount outstanding of such loans totaled $6.8 million at December 31, 2025, and $6.4 million at December 31, 2024.
